Careful of the stacks - LIBRARY LOG
Who: EVERYONE!
What: A bunch of Editors walk into a library...
When: October 31st - November 13
Where: The Unfinished Library

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!]

there are two canons in WOM that don't have an expy and they're the dark tower and calvin and hobbes
Thank you! It might take a little time for my friend to help me view it, but once I watch it, I will get back to you. You are very kind yourself, Rin.
Haha well I figure MB's from so far in the future, it wouldn't even know the real canons anyway
Okay, it says. Then: Does your friend have a display surface?
If they do, maybe they'd share with SecUnit. Unless it's one of those really small, handheld ones. It's not interested in watching media on anything that small.
Oh yeah that totally makes sense
... I don't think so? she says after a quick consultation with her goddess. She said she was going to show me directly after she, um, converts the format? To something I can see, since the sendjewels weren't made to show media.
no subject
If you don't have a display surface, and your feed device can't play media, what the hell is your friend going to convert it to? it says, sounding rather baffled. It can't think of any file format that would play on an external feed device like that. That's what Internal feed devices were for.
And she didn't have one of those, apparently. So this was...weird.
1/2
Something she can show it to me with, Siobhan says. I haven't seen a media before, so I don't know how it works yet. Give me a little time and I'll explain it better.
2/2
It's about the length of two episodes of Rachet and Smith later when Siobhan gets back to it.
So it turned out she made it so I could see the media as a vision.
no subject
Are you sure you don't have an internal feed device?
Then, after a slight pause, it moves on to the important question:
Did you like it?
no subject
I'm not sure how it works. My friend understands technological things, but she has to simplify things to explain to me, because if she didn't it would 'overload' me. Which is not the answer for if she has an internal feed device. But yes, I liked it. I'm not done with all the parts yet, but it's good.
no subject
It's better on a display screen, it says. But the files keep getting messed up if I try to offload them to external storage.
It's not very realistic. But yeah. It's good.
no subject
(Sadly, the only person in this body who'd be able to talk shop with SecUnit is Thorne.tcai and she wishes to remain anonymous for now.)
no subject
I have more media, it promises. Tell me when you finish it.
end of thread for now?
Sure thing!
