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!

Good to know.
[Bob's voice takes on the same note of amusement.]
I could see how you would. I'm a big fan of Nora Roberts and Nicholas Sparks.

[Flicking his tail, the Cat looks amused, knowing how strange the two of them look together.]
I'm pleased that we have someone else here that isn't human shaped. They seem to think that is the only form that can hold intelligence.
no subject
[Bob laughs.]
That's humans for you magical or otherwise. I've been around a long time and honestly met creatures with a lot more sense and twice the brains.
no subject
[Not that he minds that. The Head Librarian needs him here.]
Some of those beings may agree to visit. We already have those who are not quite human as patrons.
no subject
Well lucky you. I have to deal with mortals more than I would like. A break now and then would be nice.
[Bob sighs.]
Gonna be a lot of new auras to learn to read.
no subject
The others should not mind if you read auras but I would appreciate it if you did not attempt that on the Librarians. We are... different and I am not certain what you would see or what it might do if that knowledge was accessed.
no subject
Don't worry I don't read without asking anymore. It's rude and I have accidentally seen things I didn't want to before. Harry Dresden is the only one I have blanket permission with.
