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.

It does. Vampires, werewolves, warlocks, those who aren't Mundanes. Er - humans.

[He wouldn't mention Shadowhunters unless the skull said something about them.]

Why would want to call you something else if that's your name?

[It sounded like some kind of weird magical test like in Mundane fantasy novels.]

I'm Alec.

Thought so. Just wanted to make sure I was right since different people name things different ways. And my name changes when my owner does, so I tend to ask when that happens if people want to change my name.

[The skull appears to wink one eye light.]

Nice to meet you Alec...what are you?

I hadn't realized there were so many differences until I ended up here.

[Alec knew there were different realities but he hadn't realized that there were ones that weren't connected to his in ways that were obvious.]

Does talking to you mean I own you? [That would be fun to explain to everyone. 'I own a magical skull because I talked to it'.]

Nice to meet you too, Bob.

[For a moment, he hesitates before answering but if Bob is a spirit of knowledge, he'll probably already has some idea that Nephilim exist.]

I'm a Shadowhunter.

In a place like this ownership gets a little dicey so I'm gonna have to talk to the Head Honcho around here. Talking to me is fine though.

And what does a Shadowhunter do exactly?

alec_lightwood: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] alec_lightwood 2015-06-23 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I wouldn't want to accidentally own you when you should be with someone else.

[Magnus might be interested in Bob and want to talk to him but owning him is probably a bad idea. Alec was already leery of ome of his boyfriend's work without giving Magnus more ideas for things to try.]

We make sure that Downworlders don't hurt innocent people. Usually we hunt demons but if someone is hurting others or breaking the rules, then we deal with them.

Ah demons those guys are a laugh and a half. Normally Uriel and his kin deal with them in my world, but Harry has dealt with them once or twice.

[Bob's eye lights brighten a little.]

This might be a weird question but can I read your aura? I'm interested in what people from different universes might look like.

alec_lightwood: (Why can't the shirt be black?)

[personal profile] alec_lightwood 2015-06-27 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
There are Angels in your world who deal with demons?

[That sounded strange. In his reality Angels intervened in mortal problems by creating Shadowhunters. They didn't get involved personally in that fight.]

What happens when you read someone's aura?

[It's not a 'no' but Alec wants to know what kind of magic is involved and what Bob could learn before he says yes.]

[personal profile] harrys_skull 2015-06-29 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)

Oh Angel's in my world love getting all handsy with humans. Harry even had a fallen one in his head for a long, long time.

[Bob considers how best to answer.]

Nothing to you. Really I'm the only one who can see the aura unless you have a talent for reading them too.

Angels in my world have Shadowhunters deal with the Mundanes.

[A fallen angel in someone's head? Wouldn't that be...]

If he had a fallen angel in his head, wouldn't he be possessed by a demon?

[For a moment, Alec debates keeping the Nephilim a secret and whether or not he should let someone try magic on him. Old Shadowhunter distrust of magic almost wins but he's willing to let Bob try it eventually.]

If you don't mind, I'd like to have a friend here when you try it. He knows more about magic than I do.

No problem. Not everyone likes someone poking at their aura and having someone who understands the process along would help.

And yes it was possession plain and simple but don't call them demons they are more than that.
