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!

Luke thought back to the demonstration everyone had attended a little while back. "Somehow, it exists between worlds. There are beings here from a lot of different places...and different times. I think that's the hardest part to deal with. I'm from some time in the future from your time...and there are a few more here that are also from when I was younger."

The books are able to function somehow as portals between worlds. I'm not entirely sure how or why, but I've been through one of the portals already." he explained.

She introduced herself, and Luke nodded. "I've heard of you...although not as much as I'd like. It's very good to finally meet you." How good, he couldn't say right now.

Exists between worlds? Padmé wasn't certain what to make of that, and her face likely said as much for a fleeting moment before she reined it back in. She could sense no deception from him, although it didn't mean that her perception was correct. She did listen, even if her brow rose as he continued to speak, and Padmé wasn't certain what to make of that either.

From her future? It was rather fantastical to believe, and while there were many things that Padmé could accept, she was having a hard time wrapping her brain about that. Her eyes shifted off to regard the books, as if they might actually give her an answer, before turning back to him. "So, you open a book to get a portal, and return home?"

She wasn't too surprised, at least not at the moment, that he had heard of her. If he was a Jedi, he was likely involved with the war, and she had been involved as well, only in the Senate. The fact that he might be from quite far in the future didn't seem to cross her mind. "I have had the honour of knowing several Jedi. The pleasure is all mine."

He could tell she was a bit confused, and he wasn't surprised. It had taken time for him to learn things as well. Even with everything he'd seen, it had still been a lot to wrap his mind around, and it still was in many ways.

"I thin it would be possible...but I'm not sure it would be so simple. That something wouldn't pull us back. We don't really know who it is, or what, but there's some kind of purpose...something we were pulled here to help with. We just aren't totally sure of the whole story yet." he replied.

True, he was in a war, just not the one she was in her time. He wasn't reading thoughts, though, so he didn't know what she was thinking to herself.

"One of the ones is Obi-Wan, right? He was my first teacher, though much closer to my time. I have a lot of respect for him. And for you. i know you've done a lot trying to help your people...and the galaxy overall."

He knew enough from the videos to know how his mother had tried to help the galaxy in her time, and he often felt honored to be her son. Of course, he didn't add that Obi-Wan had only been his teacher a few days, there wasn't any need to make things bad by saying it. Still, he looked up to 'Ben' greatly, and was happy to have had him watching over him as he grew up and helping to start him on the path he was now on.
