Welcome Log ⬡ 02

Welcome to The Library!


Welcome, everyone, to the Library! As you wander your way in, wake up at a desk, or descend an elevator, the library's ambiance is, well... the same as it always is. Comforting-but-not. Warm-but-cold. Empty-but-populated. And, as always, there are certain things going on that just might make settling in a little easier.

Information Desk
⬡ Maps

At the Information Desk, there will be a large stack of looseleaf graph paper and a surplus of pencils, to more easily enable anyone who wishes to draw their own map of the library. The pencils will only be able to write on blank paper given to characters by library activities, and not on any of the books.

⬡ Stationery

Next to the graph paper, there will be a stack of blank notebooks and a haphazard pile of pens. The pens will only be able to write in the notebooks, on characters' personal belongings, and on skin.

All three of these items are semi-limited; somehow characters will only be able to make one stack of items as tall as they are once they've been removed from the desk.

Notebooks and pens will be provided in assorted colors in shades of blue, purple, white (and grey) and teal.

Cafe Menu
⬡ Seasonal Menu

⬡ Slow-cooked Mac and Cheese
⬡ Butter Chicken
⬡ Apricot and Brie Stuffed Chicken Breast With Roasted Potatoes
⬡ Rainbow Vegetarian Pad Thai With Peanuts and Basil

⬡ Chocolate Cream Pie
⬡ Classic Cheesecake
⬡ Champagne Cupcakes
⬡ Moscato Cupcakes

⬡ Champagne
⬡ Mulled Wine
⬡ Irish Coffee
⬡ Chestnut Praline Latte

⬡ Usual Menu

The Cafe menu will also showcase more typical cafe fare, from teas and coffees, to standard hot chocolates, to pastries, donuts, and sandwiches.

The Search Bar will also bring up whatever else characters could possibly want.

Sunrise Room
⬡ Seasonal Showings

As always, movies playing at any given time are randomized, but this month there is a higher chance of movies playing with themes of new beginnings.

First Floor Restrooms
⬡ Seasonal Showers

This month, all complimentary toiletries will be either vanilla, blueberry pancake, or cedar scented.

Ocean Floor 4
⬡ Room 4575

Located in room 4575 on Ocean Floor 4 will be a large table with an inordinate amount of self-help books, revolving around themes of "New Year, New You" and "New Year’s Resolution Ideas And How To Achieve Each Of Them." Alongside the books will be a stack of worksheets, asking questions about characters' goals and "resolutions" - all appearing to be photocopied haphazardly from a different book entirely.

It would appear as though the intent was for there to be a somewhat therapeutic book club meeting, focused on improving oneself.

In practice, the room itself somehow has taken on a somewhat oppressive air, as though there's someone staring at you and judging your life choices, even if you're alone in the room.

Information Desk

[Blank books and paper isn't a whole lot of information for an 'information desk,' but Ib takes one of the blank books anyway. None of the pens are her favorite color, so she goes with a blue one. After a minute of staring at the desk, and then glancing around to see if anyone is watching, she walks around to the other side of the desk. The books and papers on top of the desk were clearly for everyone, but would she get in trouble for looking in the drawers? It's not as if she's going to steal anything. She reaches out. But the memory of a rose and blood red letters on the wall has her hesitating...]

The stacks

[The library is big and there's a lot to explore. Ib is less interested in the content of the books and more in all the different rooms and hallways and twists and turns. She's spending a lot of time checking the ends of hallways and corners, almost as if she expects hidden doors or passages. A lot of her search is focused low to the ground, but she does occasionally cast her gaze to the ceiling. You never know when a hanging doll might fall on you...]

Room 4575

[Ib doesn't much like this room. There's a strange feeling of being watched that reminds her of the art gallery. But exploring a building means exploring all of it, even the parts you don't like. She picks up on the the worksheets and frowns. New years... New years.. res... resso..

Ib has sadly never been a good reader. After a minute of trying to sound it out in her head she finds the nearest grownup and tugs lightly on their shirt to get their attention.]


Excuse me...?

[Somewhere among all the library stacks is a section where the books have all been pulled off the lower shelves to create a kid-sized book fortress with a...n adult-sized leather jacket spread over it for a roof.

It's not too tall just yet, so it probably wouldn't be difficult do peek in through the gaps in the jacket...or just call out, if you're polite. Either way, there's another kid holed up inside there, scribbling nonsense on a notebook.]

[personal profile] her_rose_is_red 2021-01-04 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Umm... hello?

[She's calling out politely of course. While simultaneously trying to peek through the gaps in the jacket anyway.]

oh no my html...

[There's a moment of silence, following which an 11-year-old face shows up to peer back at her through that gap.]

Who're you? You know you're tres....tass....dispossessing, right?

[He tried.]

Hm?

[Ruggie's not the most grown-up looking grown-up, with his loud clothes and roguish look. Still, he responds naturally to the tug on his clothes and his expression seems to lose a lot of that mischief when he realizes who's asking him for help.]

Yeah, kiddo, what d'you need?

["besides, like, the nearest way out"]

Um, I don't know this word.

[She's pointing at the word 'resolution' and looking up at him expectantly.]

[personal profile] ruggie 2021-01-04 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances over it and- ah, good, it's not anything outrageous or technical.]

"Resolution"... y'know, like something you decide you're gonna do.
her_rose_is_red: (hmmm...)

[personal profile] her_rose_is_red 2021-01-04 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[That is pretty simple. But why are they asking about that? Why do they care?]

Does 'finding a way back home' count as a resolution?

[personal profile] ruggie 2021-01-04 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes Ruggie chuckle, a "shishishi," sound coming from between his teeth.]

That's probably the best one to have right now, isn't it? Don't see why it wouldn't count!

[Frankly, it's a welcome distraction from the topic at hand. The "task" as it were has her finally thinking about escaping, but then she wonders where she'd even go if she did get out of here and--

Well, it's a bunch of complicated thoughts not worth speaking out loud anyway. Especially to the small voice that knocks Gwendolyn out of her introspection the page in her hand had spurred.
]

Good day. [She'd really like to know why kids keep showing up here...] Do you require assistance?

[ He rounds the corner on the hunt for something of his own, but he pauses at seeing a child glancing upwards. He assumes she wants a book from a higher shelf, and he is very tall; but like a string bean. He leans on his cane wearily. He doesn't really get children, but he'll give this a go, ]

Looking for something?
