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!

[She can't recall having ever gone to sleep before she woke here. Not even a dream lingers as she wakes and looks around, a whisper catching her attention and drawing her to her feet, nearly tripping on her own skirts and hair falling in front of her face and blinding her for a moment.]

Hello! [There's a quiver in her voice but she looks around and recognizes that it's a library. Not like the one in Imladris but she can recognize it.]

Is anyone there?

[6]

[Celebrían hates how messy and disorganized the library is. She's not Erestor or Elrond who spend so much time in the library but she enjoys books enough that she can't leave them or the messes.

So she gathers books left out and finds a place to set them as she wipes down shelves and then starts setting them back in place.]

[Wildcard]

[Anything you like!]

[Elrohir still has not come to terms. Not really... how did one exist in the same place as his beloved parents and not have them even know his name? Still, better to have them there than not at all.

Which was why, he moved to help her by catching the books from her arm. He smiled at her gently.] Allow me?

[She practically flails, trying to keep the books from falling out of her grasp when he comes to her rescue. There's a light but nervous laugh and she looks embarrassed but she makes herself smile for him.]

Thank you. Oh, my parents would have words if they saw me being so careless right now.

[Leveling the books in his arms, he laughed softly and nodded his head.]

The lord and lady of Lorien sometimes show their love through being stern. But I know that you are anything but careless, hiril nin.

[Turning, he carefully started to sort the books to see where they need to go. The system of organization was different, but he could see the logic in it.]

You know them then? I have never seen you visiting to Golden Wood.

[He's not wrong though. Her parents can be stern when they need to be but not always. Carelessness in the library would be one of the things they would berate her for.] I do try not to be. I thought I could carry more, I overestimated my abilities.

I know them well and miss them now. [His voice is quieter as he says this.]

It is nothing to feel poorly about. These books are quite different. I find some are strangely weighted and... shift. If possible. [He certainly knew they were alive. In some way, he knew it without a doubt.] But it never hurts to ask for help either.

I miss them already myself. [She can't help but be a little curious though at how his voice seems to soften.] May I ask how you met them? I apologize if that seems rude.

[But he seems so attached.]

[The familiar voice shouldn't be here. Elrond steps quickly around the corner, still in full armor. He has no plans for removing it for the time being. Especially not with the lady Celebrian here.

Here, and afraid. He walks towards her, trying for a smile that was reassuring as well as stern.]

My lady. You are not alone.

[She starts, naturally, at the voice and turns quickly. Blue eyes flick to him and his state of dress, for a moment she tenses and then breathes a sigh of relief. Elrond she trusts, she's familiar with him and if he's there, she doesn't doubt that everything will be alright. That they'll figure out what is going on and how to return.]

Lord Elrond, I am glad to see you. And see you well. [Unharmed by war.]

As it is to see you well.

[He bowed his head politely to her before glancing around.]

Have you just arrived?

I have. I awoke only moments ago- where are we?

[She's never seen anywhere like this though she admits she hasn't seen nearly enough of Middle Earth to judge the libraries of each realm. All she knew was that she should have, would have, woken before being carried off anywhere. And the Galadhrim wouldn't have let her be kidnapped.]
