The Central Library

Test Drive Meme

You are in The Central Library… anything can happen here. In fact, the possible can become actuality while you stay here. Things are always changing. Some for the better, some for the worst… it really all depends on one thing. You.

Take a look around, visit the worlds through the book portals, and slowly bring it back to life. The more you do, the better life will get. But be wary, not everything is a fun story and not everything is harmless. Sometimes you will have your life at stake and others you will simply have to enjoy your stay.

You can use RNG to pick a scenario below… or you can pick your own! Whatever delights your fancy and makes you feel at home within the walls of The Central Library.

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 – It’s raining. Inside. You’ll find that Non-fiction has a way of ruining your day to day life in the Library. Some book in the Non-fiction section has burst open letting out a monsoon of types that only gets worse as you get to that section. Find it, close it… or we all just might float away.

5. Fiction Invasion – Sometimes things slip through. Little things or big things. After all, monsters do hide in the dark corners and in some sections of the grand structure. But this time… the problem is small, small size that is. Pixies have invaded. They are troublesome things… they love to cause problems and make life a little miserable. You need to catch them before they steal you blind… and possibly cause you too much mischief. You may need a net… but please, try not to kill them.

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 and no harm in trying to pick up books and shelve them. Just be careful… they are rather testy about where they go.

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

This Test Drive is Closed. A new Test Drive will be posted soon.

"Thanks for throwing him off a plane, by the way." No good letting them get away and all. Either way, he was just happy it was all over. What else could he really be happy about in that entire scenario?

Brushing wet hair back, he shrugged his shoulders a bit. "Well... Romanoff may kill you later or hug you. I haven't decided, she's a little hard to read." Shaking his head, he's sure Bruce didn't mean that. "Anyway, you aren't in Kansas anymore, so things just found a new level of weird."

"You're welcome," Bruce replies with his own brand of dry sarcasm he knows Tony enjoys, "as for Nat...I was hoping I wouldn't have to have that conversation ever again. After South Africa he and I both knew we'd never be safe again."

Bruce sighs and looks around. "So I suppose winding up in a flooded library is the lesser of two evils at this point."

Tony had to grin at that. Yes, he did like that dry sarcasm. That, he could relate to. Detached but still something he thought normal friends did. "Well, consider it out of my tally of things to talk about." Just like Ultron from now on. "But to keep it all tied in a bow, we won." Tony did a mock fist pump that had none of the feeling behind it. Especially when he thought of all the losses.

"Hate to tell ya, buddy... but it is definitely the lesser of two evils. All I know is it's like a pocket universe or something. Lot of people from different places. And I do mean different. You good?" No point in overloading the poor guy right away.

Bruce waves off Tony's concern. "Adaptable remember," he replies, "I can move anywhere using about a dozen fake ids and be speaking the language within two weeks. Finding myself in a pocket universe wearing nothing but my last pair of clean pants is par for the course."

He gives a little smile. "And yay we won against the evil robot...points for us."

Holding his hands up in surrender, he gets it. Geniuses can adapt contrary to popular stereotype. Both of them were quite capable. Bruce just had that art down in spades. "I'm sure we can find you some new clothes after we clean up this rain storm though. Or Steve does actually ford his way to the eye of the storm. There is a market place we can go to when it's drier in here."

Holding out his fist he grinned. "Mad scientist fist bump?"

"Steve's here too," Bruce both manages to sound relieved and worried about this. He knows how close Steve is with Natasha and Bruce is expecting to get at least one punch to a body part for leaving her behind. And yet Bruce is happy Steve is here because the super solider is a good friend and one of the few people who can control the Hulk. He smiles at Tony and bumps his fist against his friend's.

"So where do we start?"
