A Day in the Life of…

Not every day is a huge adventure. In fact, some days are just like all the others. Granted, life in The Library is not exactly ‘normal’, but there are days just like any other. Which means the small tasks still needs to be done. Pick a job, carry out your life… What is your everyday life like in The Central Library?

1. You have started a job or trade and help out in any way you can. Maybe you are teaching defense. Maybe you are simply learning it. You will need it! After all, just because there is nothing big happening doesn’t mean there might not be something like a bugbear waiting around the corner you’ll need to kill.

2. The books are scattering like roaches when you turn the light on! It’s horrible! They seem to find their current nesting spots on their shelves unsuitable! It needs to be cleaned up and the books need to be put back where they belong. Mind you… they are skittish and they will run from you!

3. People need to eat around here… are you a good cook? Some really aren’t… so why not help out with dinner? Nothing like planning for a… sort of… family meal. If you can’t cook, go to the market and find ingredients. Doing a little shopping is a nice way to pass the day.

4. Maybe you are the dodging work type. Maybe you really didn’t want to clean shelves or work. Well! There are always the baths or having tea in one of the atriums. (You could always play some pranks on the other patrons as well. It’s all in fun and getting to know each other, of course.)

5. Is work and cooking too mild for you? Training is simply not needed, you say? Then go hunting for monsters in the darker places of the Library. Just be careful not to wander too far… it’s easy to get lost in the darkness.

6. With the arrival of great pets comes great responsibility! And the need for pet-sitters who are willing to make sure they’re all happy and healthy. Walk the dogs! Play with the cats! Watch out for the ducks! And keep them out of trouble if you can.

7. Wild card! Feel free to come up with something else to fill up your day and have fun (or not!).

Books should not move like that. Alec wasn't even sure how they could move like that. They didn't have legs, at least he assumed that they didn't have legs. Could they have grown legs recently? And books should not move that quickly. Grumbling to himself, he chased after one of the books, leaping on top of tables and onto shelves to try to keep pace with it. Maybe if he was able to back it into a corner, he'd be able to catch it and put it back where it was supposed to be.

It probably looked strange to have a Shadowhunter in full gear walking two cats on leashes. Especially when his quiver and bow were on his back and a few other weapons that could be seen... and a few that couldn't unless someone was gifted with the Sight. One cat was a munchkin tabby, tugging at the end of his leash and merping excitedly. The other was a grumpy looking grey Persian that seemed to watch the world with disdain. Occasionally Alec reached down to pet one of the cats, smiling wryly as he took them for a walk through the safer areas of the Library.

A duck. There was a duck paddling along in the baths. Alec stared at it for a few minutes, not really sure what to think of this latest addition to the Library. The TurDuckEns had been strange but not dangerous. The duck seemed to be harmless. Or would be unless Jace saw it. Then his parabatai would swear that it was a Demon Duck and it had to be destroyed. Knowing that its feathered life was in danger, Alec knelt at the edge of the bath, trying to coax the creature out of the water so he could get it out of the Library before anyone could see it.

Ducks weren't the strangest thing Nita had encountered in her travels, not by a long shot. Incidentally, if a duck wearing a Darth Vader costume ever showed up, Nita would be unable to contain her laughter, but she could sense that wasn't the case here in the slightest.

"Any idea how long we've had a fowl problem?" Nita asked, hoping she wouldn't startle the man or the duck.
