Just then, the friendly farmyard Stirfry walked in, humming an upbeat tune and carrying the large red pipe wrench that any dog who paid attention around the farm would notice she always carried. Most dogs should probably know her or at least have seen her around. She mostly fixes stuff around the farm, usually after Roger fixes them... She was a bit older than the other pups in the room, a bit taller than mooch. In fact she looked a lot like Mooch with her, long floppy ears and scruffy fur, which spiked on the top of her head. The spikes ended in black singed tips, which suggested that they weren't random. However, unlike Mooch her fur was a mix of shades of brown and white, and she was much more round around the belly.
"Oh, what's going on here?" She asked.

“Well, there’s more than Three in here!” Clayton notes, eyeing all the books in the box. He then perked his ears, hearing Stirfry enter.
He stared at the larger dog and said; “Oh, Hey Stirfry! Just found these books!” He held up the one that had the Retriever swirling stars on the cover; “Some of us are thinking they’re magic, though…You Know where these books came from?”.

Both Shadow and Genesis eyed Stirfry enter the barn. "Aside from the magic prospect, these books are well taken care of." Genesis said. "And I gotta say. This is one of my favorite genres."
"Nice for you to join us." Shadow said. "I'm Shadow, and over there next to Clayton is Genesis."

“Well, right now,” Patch said to Melanie, “let’s hear about the books that the others have picked out.”
Patch and Priscilla listened to the plot of the book that Melanie picked out. When they heard that it involved a maze and a ghost, they immediately thought of a video game that also involved a maze and a ghost. They felt it best, though, not to bring that thought up, as there was already more than enough talk about video games in a discussion about books.
“Ooh, that one sounds amazing,” Priscilla said to Melanie, and she turned to Raine to hear about the plot of the book that he picked out. “Sure. Let’s hear what that one’s about.”
“I’m sure that everyone knows that,” Patch said to Clayton, looking over to the other books in the box, and he closed the book that he picked out, placed it down next to Priscilla, and went back to the box to see what other books were in it. “I’m also sure that all these books are installments of other book series or standalone books. The other two installments of the book series that I’m just getting into are probably not even in here with all these other books!”
Patch looked through the remaining books in the box, one by one. As he was doing that, however, he heard another pup, Stirfry, come in.
“Oh, hello,” he said to Stirfry as he placed a couple of books back in the box.
Priscilla heard Stirfry come in, as well.
“Hello,” she said, waving a paw at her.

Turner heard Clayton say a pup's name and mistaken the name for food. "Stirfry, where? I would like to have some stirfry." He asked Clayton as his mouth watered thinking of the different kinds of food that he could use with stir fry.
Lucy looked and noticed the pup as well. "Hello." She said with a wave of her paw to the pup that she hasn't seen before. "I'm Lucy, what's your name?"

Raine read the premises of the book and it was interesting. “ Welcome welcome, a place full of deliciousness and dreams. Where everything in the world is completely edible, you don’t put on weight and you always are hungry. But be very careful, like it was mentioned before that everything is edible.”
Melanie said to everyone “ Hang on does that mean if we ever enter that world we are edible as well?”
Raine looked at Patch and said “ Better not invite Rolly.”
Melanie and Raine noticed Stirfry. Melanie said to her “ hello there nice to meet you. I’m Melanie and this is Raine. Come pick out a book or read one of ours and see which one tickles your fancy.”

"Hi, Clayton." Stirfry walked over to the box and said "Oh, this box was sitting outside of Swamprat's shop for a long time. I wonder who bought it." Stirfry answered him. She reached a paw in and pulled out a random book, then examined the cover. "These don't look like magic books." She said. She shook the book a bit, then dropped it on the floor and gave it a whack with her large pipe wrench. "Tom thinks they're normal books." She looked around the room at all the dogs and asked "Why do we think they're magic?"
She then heard a bunch of dogs say hi to her all at once almost and perked up. "Oh, hey everyone." she waved a paw at the whole room. "Oh, my name is Stirfry." She answered Lucy.
Then Raine's conversation with Melanie about a world of food caught her attention suddenly. "Aren't we edible already? Even though nobody would eat a dog."

"Tends to be frowned upon in most societies..." Clayton nods to Stirfry, before trying to answer her question; "The reasoning is that they're in a box that...looks like that, yet the books look like they're new, and you said they were laying around the Swamp for a while, didn't you?".
He noticed how every one was talking to Stirfry at once, so decided to read some more of the book he had, until he could get a word in edge ways.

(Over 24 hours without Shadow, so it’s now my turn.)
“I’m Priscilla,” Priscilla said to Stirfry, introducing herself to her, and she gestured towards Patch, “and this is Patch, my boyfriend.”
She picked up the book that she and Patch were getting into together. While holding on to the book, she looked over to see how Stirfry was handling another book using a pipe wrench.
“I had some experience with a magic book before,” she said, “and I was hoping that there would be more books like that.”
After a while of looking through more of the books in the box, Patch went back to Priscilla and sat down next to her.
“Of course not,” Patch said to Raine after hearing about the book about everything that was edible, and he became disturbed by the thought of entering that story and becoming edible in it. “That’s something I don’t even want to think about.”

Turner's mouth was still watering from the mention of Stirfry.
Lucy looked at Stirfry. "I don't know if there's any magic books in this box, except for the one I found." She said to the pup as she showed her the book.

Raine heard what Stirfry said about us already being edible and he responded by saying “ Yes technically we are but I don’t think it’s wise for dogs to eat each other that’s cannibalism.”
Melanie said to everyone “ jeez Raine’s book is scarier than mine and mine is on a horror theme.”
Melanie said to Stirfry “ so what’s do you do with yourself. Tell me a bit about you?”

Stirfry looked to Priscilla and said "Hi, I'm Stirfry. Magic books don't sound very fun. They'd probably make a lot of weird unnatural stuff happen." She said. She threw the book she was holding back on the ground and it landed with a thud and shot dust from the floor into the air around it.
Her attention was then drawn to Melanie "I usually fix stuff around here." She said. "I was coming up here because someone told me there was an exposed wire that was shooting sparks around here. I was going to see how bad it was and cover it up with electrical tape."

Clayton looks up from the book he was checking and eyed Lucy; "So, to check, what is it exactly about that one that makes it the only one you think is magic?" he asks.

"Well, we can mostly agree that these books aren't magic," Genesis said. "But I shouldn't rule it out just yet."
Shadow nodded and rummaged through the box to find a book he wanted to read.

“That can sound fun to some,” Priscilla said to Stirfry after hearing what the latter said about magic books. “I found it fun when I experienced it.”
Priscilla flinched from the book being thrown to the ground by Stirfry and the dust shooting up from the book’s hard landing. Patch immediately looked over to the book when he heard the thud caused by it being thrown.
“Maybe one or two of these books are magic,” Patch said as he picked up the thrown book. “There are different kinds of magic, so the magic in any of these books, if any of them are magic, doesn’t work the same as each other. Some magic books have magic happen immediately when they are opened, and some have it happen when some certain words or sentences in them are read aloud.”
