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!]

[ And immediately he feels incredibly embarrassed and let his hands fall back to his sides. He tries to ignore the heat rising to his face, "distracting" himself with these saucers. It was a hard habit to break, back home he was a hero and his whole thing was being helpful and flashy and perfect. But already this place is so much different than what he was used to and habits are hard to break. ]
Ah.... if I had to wager, I don't think I've been here all that long. Maybe a few days before these little ships started appearing?
no subject
I think that's about when I showed up as well. That seems to be the earliest anyone I've spoken to remembers in regards to this place. So we were all brought here at the same time... and we still don't know why.
no subject
[ If this time matched a few people it could possibly be a coincidence or some kind of fluke, but if most of the people here are claiming the same then something must be at play. ]
Perhaps the world seeks to be finished but it needed help...
no subject
[Hm.]
Unless there's something else that needs to be finished?
no subject
[ He trails off a little when his eyes glance back to the little saucer, Nara'a was playing with. ]
I guess if we keep interacting with the world we're bound to find more information somehow.
no subject
[His tail flicks from side to side like an impatient cat, betraying his thoughts.]
I've been an adventurer for many years, so I'm always on the move.
no subject
Adventurer? That sounds rather exciting.
no subject
Where I've ended up... is wrapped up in helping to save places near and far from war and existential threats. Some people call me heroic... I just see it as doing the right thing.
no subject
Sorry if this seems like an odd question. What do you think of a smile?
no subject
[He tilts his head in confusion as he tries to understand where that question came from.]
no subject
[ Nice tries to laugh it off, glancing off to the side. ]
The way you talk about yourself... it made me think of someone from back home. "You must never forget your own beliefs, even if that belief is just a simple smile. It's the biggest source of power for you to keep going."
no subject
[How could he smile then? But people need him to seem put together, so he did. He's had to for a long time.]
no subject
no subject
no subject
[ If he's smiling for everyone else, he feels he doesn't get many doing the same for him in return.
And since they were playing around with these little saucers, Nice places his own little drawing of a creature on the saucer nearest him. ]
no subject
Who's that? A friend of yours?
no subject
[ You know how people call their pets their children. ]
no subject
[He points to the picture he made.]
That's someone I know. He came from another star, and his ship looked quite a bit like these...
no subject
no subject
[He'd had to be polite about it, but it is funny.]
no subject
So you've made friends with little creatures like that? Certainly an interesting guy.
no subject
no subject
[ Says one making things worse for themself. ]
no subject
[No thank you.]
