At this point, a number of the Library's inhabitants had been here (for a nebulous definition of 'here') for over two months now. Others were newly arriving, still getting their bearings. But the thing was, at this point something was clearly becoming a bit of a problem.

Laundry.

No one had anything other than the clothes they brought on their backs. There was one singular clothes washing machine, and it was, quite frankly, complete shit. It made weird noises. It leaked frequently. It never seemed to actually finish washing the clothes.

So, cleaning clothes was...an issue. But humans - and sentient organic beings, and even - ugh - constructs needed to figure it out, because if they didn't they were all going to be fucking disgusting.

(Well, more disgusting than organic bits usually were, anyway.)


[[ooc: so yeah! How is your character dealing with The Laundry problem? Are they even doing laundry? Are they dressing themselves in bedsheets? Finding other creative ways to get more clothes to wear? Basically, this is just a general catch-all mingle for everyone to detail characters dealing with some basic hygiene.]]

Siobhan gets very, very still, staring unblinkingly at K.

"Yes," she says. "Yes, I do know what you are. You're not the only one here," she adds, cryptically. "But yes, even artificial beings can learn the magic of Mundus. Maybe especially artificial beings. I haven't learned what Hikaru has, but I have abilities of my own."

[obeir]

His initial thought is that Rin may have shared its actual identity with her, but since K promised not to share that information with anyone, he's hesitant to ask for clarification. Maybe if he frames it innocuously enough...

"I'm not?" Of course, there could easily be others even aside from himself and Rin; he has yet to actually meet everyone in the Library.

'Maybe especially artificial beings' has his full attention, though. Maybe the planet Mundus has a population of AI magic users. He can't immediately reconcile the presence of AI with a presumably medieval-esque world, but those gears in his head are turning.

"What're your abilities like?"

[codeswitchcraft]

"You're not," Siobhan says out loud. Then, very tentatively, she'll use her sendjewel to attempt to contact K silently: Can you hear this? Rin has a 'feed device' that lets them hear it. I thought that if you are a machine intelligence--my friend calls them 'bioroids'--that you would be able to hear this.

It would work almost exactly like Rin contacting K in the feed, actually.

"I can enchant my arrows so that they split off in midair and I can hit multiple targets," Siobhan volunteers. "And sometimes I can infuse the power of my goddess into the arrows to hurt a particular target especially badly."

[obeir]

The unexpected communication is a little startling, causing him to abruptly pause in his clean up and—

—Oh. Is she the AI?

Yes. Hello. Bioroids. That's a new one. We're called androids where I'm from. Are you also an AI, then?

So there's not only magic, but apparently religion-based magic as well. Religion-anything is outside of his wheelhouse, so he's relying on his knowledge of fantasy fiction to understand.

"So you're like a... holy archer?" he guesses. "Ranger?"

[codeswitchcraft]

Yes, Siobhan replies, the way she would over the 'feed' with Rin. I am. Everyone on Mundus is, except for people like Hikaru who came there from Earth. I don't usually tell people about that part, but if you're going to tell me that you're one, that obligates me to tell you that I'm one too in return, doesn't it?

"A ranger, yes," she says, smiling at him. "You know a little something of adventurers."
