Without Rhyme or Reason

Between the 72nd and 73rd pillars (measured from the front of the room) of the left side of the Memorial Atrium is a rather nice wall. It's composed of a sturdy wood — oak, perhaps — and it makes a pleasing sound when you rap on it with your knuckles. It would probably smell nice if you put your nose up to it, but that would be odd, no?

Numerous papers are haphazardly affixed to it with similarly sturdy iron nails. Some are mere scraps of parchment bearing an illegible scrawl, some are lengthy scrolls in beautiful calligraphy that roll down the wall and traverse the soft green carpet. Mind your feet, lest you trip. Your fellow patrons pause their travels to inspect the bulletins, although removing them is quite impossible. I'm sure the more vertically inclined among them would lift you up to read those posted higher on the wall if you asked nicely. Looking at it as is, there are a choice few things you can make out.

First is a series of… printed screenshots? They appear to tell the story of a rather unorthodox blogger.

Posted to the side of the cluster of writings, perhaps as an afterthought, are a handful of smaller leaflets. Swaying in the grasp of the titan who has so kindly lifted you up, you leaf through the cobbled-together book of impromptu poetry.
