Putting a hand on the gate, he calls out for “[[Jenny Everywhere#Guardian of the Ink Wells|the Guardian]] of [[the Ink Wells]]”. The gate opens of its own accord, and he falls into the room, where an ominous voice asks what his business is. However, when he explains that he simply needs some ink, the lights flash on to reveal the Guardian, an unassuming teenage girl dressed in robes and [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|aviator goggles]]. Gesturing at gestured to the giant holes in the cement floor behind her, she tells him to help himself to “any of the uncovered wells”, claiming that she has “all colors and liquids”.
