The Assistants have vanished into their backroom once again, leaving only the increasingly unbelievable “Back In 5” sign on the Help Desk, but at least they have attempted to impart some knowledge on the Editors before departing (or… attempted to do anything but, depending who you ask). The customary tea cart with drinks and increasingly stale biscuits is parked in its usual spot, though it seems that the quality of the tea at least has improved some. (Still waiting on coffee improvement.)

There’s a new crafting setup in the Maker Space, a table with an iron and machine for making vinyl designs, along with the instructions on how to use it, and a stack of t-shirts in various sizes. Usually there’s something in the correct size, but, well, mistakes happen. While this addition to clothing is a boon, there is the problem that the t-shirts can’t be taken out of the room until some sort of design is put on them. Get creative! Show off your style! Or maybe just steal one of the shirts that are there for display purposes. It’s fine, the Library can make more.

In the second week as the Library begins to change once more, the Lobby’s wooden floor shines with extra polish. The walls make an odd creaking sound as they shift, warping into brick covered with velvet drapings in a rich, dark red. Gold thread twinkles in the stitches, a sense of opulence woven through. The sound of ballroom music drifts by and, while in the Lobby, characters will be taken by the unusual impulse to dance.

Outside, in the Garden, the day/night cycle has paused firmly on a cloudless night. A full moon hangs in the air - literally. About the size of a basketball, it follows the first person who enters the Garden; hovering a couple of meters above their head. A white aura spreads from them, powered by the moon, and those who are caught in its light will find themselves unable to speak anything but the truth.

When the person to whom the moon is attached leaves the garden, the moon and its aura will leave them; and the moon will attach to the next person to enter instead.

On the circulation desk, there is a sign: “This Week’s Recommended Reading: Twilight!” The accompanying sign up sheet waits next to it for those wishing to check it out- though some will receive the movie instead of the book, with no particular rhyme or reason to it. Periodically someone might also receive something else entirely. Whoops? The Assistants at least will fix that quickly. Richard will be embarrassed, while Phillip will be trying not to cackle.

While not advertised, various iterations of different stories will be available throughout the Library. In particular, someone seems to have left the projector in one of the meeting rooms running, with a variety of different recorded plays. These range from professional productions, to parodies, to what appear to be high schoolers (of which one production features a sixteen year old version of Phillip running around being an absolutely nuisance.

"I'm pretty sure the other demons thought it was impossible, too."

Crowley rolls his eyes at the question, however.

"How should I know? This place seems to pull people from all different worlds. I s'pose this isn't the weirdest thing that could happen."

The Doctor curses inside of his head because he heard the logical answer out loud,"That means we have one big stinking problem, my kind lied to ne about splintering."

"Well, wouldn't be the first time people in charge've lied about something. Might as well not worry about it. Have a drink or ten."

Crowley snaps his fingers, and a glass of whiskey appears in his hand.

"It's what I'm doing."
borntolove: (Really how interesting)

Don't get The Doctor started about The Time Lords. The Doctor keeps his lips shut, because he doesn't want to conclude magic that just happened. Rather it's a form of science that materializes an object out of the molecules around in the area.

The Doctor takes the drink, "What's bugging you?"

"Being kidnapped to this place is close to the top of the list," Crowley comments, conjuring a drink for himself as well. "Another one is being confronted with someone who has my face, but is less handsome."
borntolove: (Really how interesting)

"I hear that about being kidnapped." The Doctor remarks, "Shame they couldn't kidnap my friend as well."

"Oh- I'd say we're both handsome." The Doctor remarks with a cheeky grin.

"Eh," Crowley says, making a so-so gesture with his hand. "You're right though, the ginger hair really is an improvement. And the eyes -"

He tips down his sunglasses, revealing his golden snake eyes.
borntolove: (Really how interesting)

"I think it safe to say we both have healthy egos." The Doctor doesn't stare at the snake eyes.
