	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.

Ochako Uraraka.

[ returning the favor is only fair! ]

Do you always follow the rules so closely, Riegan-san?

[bowfaire]

Riegan.

(Not... Rieganson???)

And absolutely.

(Not.)

[infreefall]

That's what I - ohhhh, I guess you don't know about honorifics, do you?

[ haha. anyway, she's not explaining it!! not yet. ]

Mm, but if that were true, wouldn't you have done the worksheet for yourself first?

[bowfaire]

You mean like "Lord" or "Professor?" (Tilting his head a bit. He's not familiar with.. "San" or any other titles that might come at the end of a name.) I'm not really a fan.

(So just Riegan or Claude is fine. Claude preferably but... hm. Compromise for now.)

What? No one said I actually had to write my answers down. (Twirling his pen. Is it breaking a rule if it was never really a rule in the first place?) No one's collecting our responses anyway.

[infreefall]

Well, yeah, there are honorifics for those, too. It's just polite, but if you really don't like it...

[ that's claude's prerogative and he didn't say out loud that she can call him by his first name so she won't!! ]

No one except you, huh? What are you going to do with all these answers when you're finished, anyway?

[ that still isn't one of the worksheet questions ]

[bowfaire]

(He hums, thoughtful,)

Dunno. Seeing how I just got here and all that, I figured it would help to learn what I can.

(It's all about gathering information.)

I'm not getting far with where we are so the next step is figuring out everyone else who's here. Who knows, maybe it'll be useful someday. For example... if I never need a hero.

[infreefall]

[ so he's already gotten to work, huh? there's a flash of something in her eyes, hidden quickly with a smile as the chair begins to slow and for once, ochako doesn't keep it spinning. ]

What kind of trouble are you planning to get into that you'd need a hero in a library? Gonna put some books back on the wrong shelf?
