Seventh Wasp - [written]

[entwiningfate]

[It started around noon. He had been reading a new book to the mice when there's a sudden hic. It was enough to startle him and the mice and make them all jump… though Sion jumped because he hiccupped. It’s been a long time since he’d had the hiccups.

But he approached it like everyone else would! First, he held his breath… nope. Then he chugged some water in a few different ways… still not gone. There's no one around to surprise him so he couldn't try that out.

Ugh...

By the time he gets to his journal, it’s a few hours later and the hiccups have yet to stop. It's gotten very tiring and annoying. He’s run out of ideas on ways to make them stop too so there’s only one thing he can do now.]

Does anyone know of a good way to get rid of hiccups? I’ve already tried to drink water and hold my breath but neither worked.

Thank you in advanced.

[USELESS KNOWLEDGE IS THE BEST KNOWLEDGE SION WOULD KNOW]

I didn't know hiccups could be disrupted by taste as well though I suppose it makes sense. [Learning something new every day, Sion] Is it guaranteed to work every time?

I have never tried it before myself. However, I've read the method in various books, and.. books don't lie, right?

It's rare, though there are times when books do contain misinformation, whether the author purposefully published incorrect information or the information that was thought to be true at the time was later proved to be incorrect.

.. W.. wah.. [ DON'T DO THIS, SION. Before you know it she'll be shaking and crying, she's getting awfully close to it.. ]

W.. why would books lie to you though..? Books are friends..

[Sion look what you did. DON'T CRY KOTOMI]

Well, it isn't the books, it's the authors who decide to publish misinformation. But as I said, it's rare when false information is printed in a book!

Books concerning politics and some historical events have a higher risk of being printed purposefully with misinformation in order to mislead the readers into believing something else. Books with other topics such as biological and ecological studies often just have outdated information, so in that case it was never the author's intention to give incorrect information.

S.. so.. maybe some authors are bullies? They want you to believe the wrong things so they write those down? That's so scary.. [ Only Kotomi would find something like that scary. ]
