The Central Library
entry
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.

She turned and aimed her bow at him. "Come clean, do you now, or have you ever worked for Nale?" she asked, and the look in her oddly mismatched eyes was not a friendly one.

She could NOT solo Thog. She was the rouge, the sneak attack sniper, NOT the warrior. Hello, doesn't anyone read an encounter table anymore?

Bruce looks confused. "Who the heck is Nale...sounds like a bad lettuce."

She blinked. and blinked again. Then blinked again. Then she lowered her bow as she fell over laughing.

She'd have to remember that one. There was no way he worked for Nale, because A - he was too smart, and B - no way Nale would let any of his goons insult him like that. Not with his ego.

Bruce chuckled. "Okay so we have now established I have no idea who you are talking about. Can you please explain a little bit about the universe where you come from so I'm less confused."

the ****S are because I'm uncomfortable with how Haley talks sometimes, mostly about Sabine

...Universe.... interesting way to put it. She would have said campaign, personally.

"Alright," she said nodding. And now for the Haley version of OOTS, as told to someone she does not trust yet. Which would be everyone except maybe her father and maybe Elan, though they would both get edited versions as well. Sadly, she knew Elan would accept the edited versions as truth, despite having lived through them himself.

"Well, on behalf of one Sir Greenhilt, warrior, we set out on a mission to defeat an evil lich with a complicated name, so we'll just call him X. Standard contract, he had a blood oath to fulfill, split of the treasure, and so on and so forth. We found his lair, trashed his goons, whole armies of undead, and - we thought - destroyed him."

"End of game, job well done, XP for all, and the peasants rejoiced. Except, you know, not. We went back to town and tripped over a side quest. See, while we were in the dungeon, we met and defeated the bard's evil twin brother and his evil adventuring party. Nale was their leader. Egomaniac in the extreme. Sabine is his b**** cronie. Demon or devil, not sure which. Basically she's just a flying s*** in leather. Then there is Thog, dumb as dirt barbarian, big green and mean. Likes ice cream. Zz'tri is a drow wizard, and his kobald of the week who usually gets turned into some sort of disgusting item for Belkar." she made a face.

Yes, she left out the dwarf cleric they had at first, since the replacements for her had been laughable...

"So we trashed them, even though Elan did the good guy thing of saving his brother right after his brother ran him through with a saber... And they retreated. We headed back to town and Sabine disguised herself as a blacksmith and told Roy that the only way to repair his sword was with a precious alloy called Star Metal."

"So... side quest. And really, what is it with power obsessed scantly clad villains in leather trying to seduce the hot blonds?" Says the thief in leather, who successfully claimed the blond bard. But that was another story.

"So we go, fight some bandits in the woods, kill an evil dragon, and get arrested on what turned out to be a completely bogus charge, cooked up as an excuse to get us to where the leader of Azure City could give us a mission without his people finding out about it, since it was needed but broke a serious oath."

"So, you know, then we had that mission. More run ins with Nale and crew, the Lich isn't dead, so there is that, started a rebel alliance after Azure City fell to goblins to try and free it."

"Typical world, really. Yours?"

Nice, Haley, leaving out the whole working to save the fabric of reality in the multiverse thing....

"Superheroes," Bruce says once he can get a word in edgewise, "I come from a world of superheroes. People with abilities beyond the norm I mean. Super soldiers, master assassins that kind of thing."
