	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.

[Ruggie shuffles himself back to his normal sitting position on the broom. It wavers a little, kind of like a boat on the ocean, but it doesn't look like it's going to fall anytime soon.]

Someone else with a broom? [his expression perks up a it after a pause]

Ah, did he have ears like mine? [a small shishi laugh from between his teeth as he points up to his rounded ears]

Of course, mine are way more impressive...

[infreefall]

[ pfft... ]

I didn’t know it was a competition! But yeah, he had ears like yours, too. Are you guys related? Is that your quirk?

[ruggie]

[Of course it's not a competition (because he's winning)!]

It's more like we're similar species. [Which he had always thought was a normal enough thing but it turns out not every world has entire separate race of beast-people with subgroups for species??]

And we go to the same school, same place we got these. [he taps on the wood of his broom]

Leona's pretty much the boss of our dorm~ even if our dorm's a million miles away right now he still acts like it.

[Even though he's dragging Leona for having an ego, Ruggie still sounds pretty proud himself talking about it.]

[infreefall]

Oh, I get it!

[ similar quirks, then, but different animals. makes sense! it's not like animal-based quirks are unheard of, after all. ]

I’ve never heard of a school with flying brooms. Sounds pretty cool, though! Do you always use them to reach the top shelves like this?
