so good night unto you all - LIBRARY RETURN
Who: The Editors, one and all
What: The fight is over, the pieces remain... and the Editors head back 'home'
When:Dawn of the Final Day Sunrise after the attack
Where: Leaving Montica, back to the Library
Content warnings: Please make sure to put CW in headers!
By the time morning comes around again, the fires are beginning to die down, thanks to the many efforts of the citizenry to keep them under control. The rebel vampires too have been largely dealt with. These two seemingly insurmountable obstacles were only possible thanks to a combination of factors: the Umbra not being as blind to their human servants as their opposition would have thought, defectors from the Orlocks who were able to counter-act some of their magic, the following Amalia gathered and deployed from Laurelthirst, some suspicious (though welcome) help from suspiciously new arrivals, and of course, House Guildulf throwing their own into the fray to ally with the vampires for this confrontation.
A unity the likes of which Montica has never truly seen.
As the sun rises, there are few left who are able to fight at all; the rebels are beaten, and even the forces built up by both the vampires and werewolves are exhausted or diminished, leaving no one able to take advantage. Citizens of both sides flee indoors, and the remaining rebels are forced to vanish into the woods once more, weakened and unable to strike again any time soon. But there are still repairs to be done, physically and otherwise. Will this unity last beyond tonight? Will young love and youthful hope prevail? Those are the questions that settle over a weary Montica, as light pours into the city once more.
And then, the world begins to fade, static taking over the senses, as the Editors return to the Library.
Welcome back, Editors
It looks much the same as they left it, though the makings of a masquerade are no longer arranged as finely, a few scorch marks here and there, and for some reason there’s some amazing optical illusions on the floor panelling that makes them look like actual manhole covers. Alas, no sewers lay beneath. It may still take Actors a bit of time to shake off the old-new memories, and for some reason the fluorescent lighting seems harsher on the skin than it has any right too. Good thing that the stacks cast long shadows.
The customary tea cart is set up in the Lobby again, and it seems some improvements have been made. The coffee still isn’t strong, but’s far more drinkable than it has been, and there’s an added decaf option now! The tea has still been overstepped, and the stale cookies have been replaced by scones that are hard as rocks, but clearly someone’s getting the message that there are improvements needed. Clearly the tea cart was the place to start.
If someone for some reason doesn’t want stale scones, there’s also a child sized food truck in the lobby, with a sign out front boasting a variety of tamales, including: black beans and cheese, birria, chicken, fire scorpion, man suffering to death via battle wound, and beef. Upon approach, what look like fuzzy puppets pop up to… take your order? They don’t say much, or rather, they make a single noise over and over that seems to be them communicating, but the tamales are good. Just… don’t try to look in the truck. They’ll screech, vanish, and then no tamales for you.
Meanwhile, the bulletin board has a cheerful sign decorated with colorful blocks, declaring: “Join us in the Children’s Area for Lego Club!” Upon locating the room in question, Editors will discover boxes among boxes of legos of various shapes and sizes. There are some ‘how to’ guides for various builds (including a ‘research space ship’ and a ‘vampire’s castle’), but also plenty of encouragement for people to make their own creations! Unlike normal creations, these will actually stick around for a while after they’re finished, and there’s a nice little table where people can display and share what they’ve made.
The Assistants, it seems, are nowhere to be seen: the ‘back in 5’ sign is still in place at the help desk. Still, even without their ‘helpful’ guidance, some facets of the Library may come more easily to some in the aftermath of Montica’s troubles.
[Due to the resolution of the Story, any skills tagged Archivist in the skill tree cost one less skill point (minimum of 1) until the next Story. This can stack with a normal Archivist bonus!]

It's not my name. Just an alias, it says. But yeah. I got the name from this.
One scene later, when a different character enters the scene - the colony solicitor's bodyguard - it pipes up again. I've used Eden too.
no subject
Siobhan is less capable, which is why she waits for the lulls to make her replies.
no subject
Which meant it was a good thing it liked the name. It hadn't realised just how long it was going to end up using the alias again when it arrived here. Would have sucked if it had used a name it didn't like.
no subject
(Not Hikaru, though. He's a Gnomic, which means he has a very good memory.)
no subject
Character Rin was one of the student solicitors who worked with the main colony solicitor. There were three other student solicitors, but she was the most calm and level headed of them.
Like in this scene coming up. The other student solicitors were planning to break into the evil prosecutor's office, so they search for evidence that the evil prosecutor was really a clone assassin in disguise. Student Solicitor Rin was the one who was pointing out obvious issues with that plan, like the presence of security cameras.
no subject
I see why you like Rin so much, she says during the next lull. She's very smart and practical and without her the others would get in so much trouble otherwise. I like her too.
no subject
no subject
They do. But they get in trouble for different reasons than if she wasn't there.
She watches a bit more and says, Eden is a good character too. You have good taste in characters.

Hence, you know, the connection going straight into its gun ports. Not exactly a standard setup.
no subject
People can take things out of books, right? Nara'a was trying to help me learn. Maybe we can get you a 'storage drive' that way.
no subject
no subject
I'm working hard on learning it. I promise I'll get it to you as soon as I learn how.
no subject
(SecUnit's didn't need things. Not even additional storage for extra media.)
no subject
I know, but it might make things easier on you. Especially if I can make one that's small enough that you can keep it on your person at all times.
