1. Arrival – You wake up in the main hall. The reception desk is behind you and you know you heard someone whispering “Save us” in your ear… but where are you? The hall gleams and there are many doors amongst the shelves of books. It is rather huge and a walkway circles a second floor… where are you? Well… you might want to ask.

2. Market Place – The Central Library has turned the large conference room into an open gateway to a market place. It shifts and changes along with the Library, but food is always available to those living there as long as the portal is open. Step into a Parisian market of modern day, an open market of the Dark Ages, or even a trading post in the Old West. Go shopping, take a stroll… your imagination is your only limit.

3. Go Out to Dinner – There aren’t many places to go out to eat in The Central Library, in fact, it is best to keep food to the living quarters. But when you go through portals in events, you experience whole new worlds from every era and every place. Possibly you may sit in at the Mad Tea Party or even dine in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. You pick. You decide…

4. Non-Fiction Immersion – Did the groundhog see its shadow? Another strange forecast has invaded the Library. This time the wayward weather can’t decide if it’s winter or spring. Be prepared for snow showers, bouts warm almost summery sunshine, and driving rain. There may even be a thunderstorm waiting to catch the unwary. Close the books that the weather escaped from before both books and patrons become victims to the confused weather.

5. Fiction Invasion – When pigs fly… It’s supposed to be just a saying, right? In some reality, it’s more than that. These little piggies have flown the coup! For something that isn’t aerodynamic, they’re far more graceful in the air than on the ground. They’re also hungry. Keep them from nibbling on the furniture or the patrons’ favorite possessions. Thanks to the help of the Librarians the books are piglet repellent but the patrons may find themselves being aggravated by these cute, feathered ‘friends’. Return them to the book on the reception desk to keep the Library pig-free!

6. Cleaning is Necessary – You are stuck here, you might want to make it home. Being in such disrepair, it needs a little love and care. I’m sure the janitor’s closets have some tools… Ones that have a life of their own they are rather testy about where they go and the cleaning supplies have a life of their own. (Think The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and the servants in Beauty and the Beast).

7. A posse ad esse – Anything is possible. This is your Wild Card. Have fun with it!

Alec Troven | Original Character

[element_wizard]

Sitting on the reception desk, Alec kicked his feet against the wood staring up at all the books around him. Being stuck in a library was really one of the more amusing things in his life. He loved books or at least he loved stories. His dyslexia made loving books a bit more difficult. They were a frustration for him. The holy grail forever just beyond his reach. Infinite stories; no one to read for him.

At least no one he trusted to ask.

Absently he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his coat and pulled one out. The cigarette was put into his mouth and the pack put away, before he flicked his fingers causing a bit of flame to appear. It lit the cigarette and then vanished. Then Alec leaned back, to smoke and stare at the walls and shelves.
