Welcome to the Library, Editors.
As the new residents drop into the Library, they are bound to have questions. Unfortunately it seems no one (except perhaps someone on the phone) appears to have any answers. But there is a nice little cart with a carafe of too weak coffee, a pot of too strong tea, assorted creams and sugar packets, and what appear to be leftover boxed shortbread cookies. There’s a sign inviting people to help themselves but reminding them not to take any food or drinks into the stacks, or touch any of the books with their grubby cookie hands. But aside from this little display and the nametags they’re all given, which do reappear whenever removed for the first week (where do they keep coming from?), the Editors are more or less left alone.
The Library is eternal, or at least it seems that way, unbothered by its new inhabitants. It certainly does not seem like this is anything unusual within its operation. Are there other sections of the Library with Editors, tucked into a different part of the stacks? Have there been Editors here before, and the ones here are simply a replacement? It’s impossible to say, just that the Library seems quite prepared for them. The refrigerators are stocked with appropriate (if generic) foodstuffs, any tantrums in front of the circulation desk are completely ignored, and attempts to set the Library on fire fizzle out before anything can even catch.
However, after a few days, some of the scenery in the Library seems to be changing. Little singing bowls and white noise makers pop up on various shelves and counters, yoga mats appear tucked under the bunk beds (plenty for everyone, somehow), and some of the rooms have started playing relaxing, meditative music over unseen speakers. More confusingly, there are also small UFOs hanging by string from the lower ceilings of the contained rooms, which on closer reflection are revealed to simply be two paper plates glued together and painted silver. In the beginning they’re quite sparse, but by the end of the second week they are everywhere and impossible to ignore.
At the start of the second week, there is a possible hint as to why, for at least part of it. On the table by the circulation desk there is a sign: “This Week’s Recommended Reading: Invasion of the Body Snatchers!” Next to it, there is a sign up sheet: a waitlist to check-out the ‘reading.’ (There is no explanation or apology for it actually being a movie.)
[ooc note: The Library prompts from the TDM can be considered canon to the game. Remember any of the locations listed in the setting are fair game. Have fun!]

She sighs.
"God, I could do with a good riot. Get the frustration out."
no subject
A low chuckle in response, Charles' hands going absently into his pockets. "If I hear about any good rioting goin' on I'll come find you, cross m'heart."

"Doesn't mean we can't find a way to make them count," she remarks, thoughtfully. She waggles a finger at him.
"So what are we packing, hmm? We should start taking stock of weapons."
no subject
"Got... a few knives, a sword, they all used to be cursed, but they're fine now. A few bombs, nothin' too big but they'll punch a good hole in brick in a pinch- about a baker's dozen moltovs..." He's just ticking off on his fingers as he goes, considering what of his arsenal still is in the bag. "The jar of bees, lots of fireworks, includin' some of the professional sorts, take a hand off with those if you're not careful yeah? Oh! And my cricket bat."

"What the hell do you do for a living, that you need all that?"

"M'best mate Edwin and I started up an investigation racket," Is he more proud of the agency, or Edwin? it's hardly a question, but she doesn't know that! "Dead Boy Detectives. Been at it for decades now, and blimey but some cases get wild quick!"

"Well, points for clarity, at least. And a story you're going to have to tell me one day."

Guess what ghost teen doesn't trust authority, the first two don't count!

"Useless assumes they aren't trying to be bad," she replies, "but point made."
