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!).

Nita hadn't taken the route Owen had, not in the slightest. She was really wishing for one of her wizard-lights right now, but considering the structure of the Library that might have been too much of a risk.

"Oof," Nita said, quickly pushing herself away from the shelf she'd almost slammed herself against.

Hopefully the noise wasn't too loud...

The noise was loud enough that it caught Owen's attention and the man paused where he was, staring down the center row of books.

It took him a moment to decide what he wanted to do but he finally pushed away from the shelf to start in the direction the sound had come from, keeping his steps light and trying to make as little noise as possible. He edged around one of the shelves, a hand lightly touching the shelf itself to guide him along, other hand resting on his rifle as the lights started to grow dimmer.

Figures he'd end up in a darker part of the library searching for a random sound.

The trainer reached the end of the row he was in and turned to start checking down the other only to stop himself abruptly as he came face to face--sort of, given how dark it was--with another figure. The hand he had on his rifle tightened but he didn't swing it around to draw it, free hand held out as if to ward the person back.

"Who the hell are you?"

Nita winced.

Really should have asked someone for a flashlight, she thought.

"It's Nita. I know it's the dark-infested part of the Library and I really shouldn't be out here alone, but I wanted to help," she whispered in a rush, likely more harshly than she would have liked out of anger at herself.

"I have a spell to make a light, but I'm not sure using it in here is a good idea!"

Nita. Wait. He'd spoken to her on the network hadn't he?

"I'm Owen--I think we spoke. Briefly," he murmurs softly, relaxing his grip on his rifle as his freehand lowers. He can hear that anger in her voice and it gets a frown out of the older man but anything he might want to say on that subject is thrown off by her next statement.

"Spell?"

She could use magic?

"Right."

She could recognize him more easily, now.

"Yeah - I'm a wizard. The light-spell's one of the first I learned, if not the most useful. I've memorized it too, it's just-"

She gestured around them.

"What if it interferes with these, what we're supposed to be protecting?"

5, if that's alright by you? ^^

Of course!

Lack of light on Nita's part is due to IC unsurity if wizardry can be used in the Library. ^^;
