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.

Lucky for Owen he's got a good reaction time--working with raptors makes that necessary--and he manages to backstep as soon as he's around the corner, hands going up at the sight of the knife.

"Whoa whoa!" he practically yelps, eyeing it warily but the other doesn't attempt to do anything and--

...What the hell was this guy wearing?

"...Yeah they aren't my favorite thing ever," Owen mumbled, eyebrow going up as his hands lowered. "Why are you going after them with a knife, exactly?"

[moonsthief]

The knife is still held carefully in his hands, not actively threatening, but still easy enough that he could stab quickly if need be. He can chat friendly and still be wary after all.

And Theo could say the same about this guy's clothing.

"Actually, I was possibly going after you with the knife." He hefts up a burlap sack. "This was for the pixies."

At times Theo is unabashedly paranoid and not afraid to admit it.

"Oh, well, that just makes it even better," Owen drawled, eyeing the knife a bit warily and sudden wishing he had his own knife still. At least the other doesn't seem to be actively attempting to attack now.

The sight of the sack makes him perk up a bit, pleased that there's the prospect of at least dealing with the pixies in some manner now.

"You think that'll hold them?"

[moonsthief]

He shrugs. They are in a strange place with who knows what lurking about, it's better to be safe than sorry. Still, Theo does put the knife away.

"I hope so. It's a bag of holding that's what it's supposed to do."
