And To Call Each Thing By Its Propre Name | Day 3 (Morning)

[manelesscatking]

After a night spent restless beneath the lounge lights, a day spent scouting the master bedroom, and another night camped below the garden's false canopy of stars, the page finds himself called to the library. That is ostensibly where one would go with questions, right? Even if one were not particularly skilled in the library sciences.

The page finds himself, after some time walking, squarely in the middle of a heptagon. Octagon? "Can't be bothered to pin down geometry with fae," he mutters under his breath.

He breathes in, closes his eyes, and steps forward. Upon the exhale a few steps later, he opens his eyes to find himself deep within one of the wings. An unobtrusive sign declaring "NAMES", as well as a microscopic jumble of alien tongues and numbers, marks the end of an aisle here. He picks out a promising tome and begins to read up on "Greek Names of History"...whatever this Greekia place might be. He squats down with crossed legs, visible to any walking down this particular stretch of the cavernous library.

RANDOM HAPPENINGS LOG: THE LIBRARY [OPEN]

[yourkeepers]

[Hello! Welcome to Changed's first Random Happenings log.

A random happenings log is an open log in which there is the opportunity to have your character discover clues, meet NPCs, and unearth plot or event related items. The catch? You won't know what you're getting until it falls on your lap. Particulars will usually be determined by what you have your character doing in your intro and the sorts of plot things the mods have at the ready.

For this one, all players will receive a similar scenario. However, this thread will only be accepting five participants. This is first come first serve. If you miss out, don't worry - there will be many more in the future.

The Rules:

Only tag into a Random Happenings log if you will have a significant amount of time to tag over the next few days. Since it is first come first serve, we want to make sure that the plot opportunities are given to those that will have the time to make something of them.

If you do tag into a Random Happenings log and fail to remain active in your thread, the mods reserve the right to retcon your thread and give the opportunity to another player.

In this circumstance, "active" is defined as "a few tags per day" but the more, the better.

Obviously, if mod availability is the one at fault, you will not be held accountable for their absence.

Any actions your character take in the thread can and will have plot consequences. Deals with NPCs will always be risky. Mysterious artifacts may have negative effects. You will not necessarily be told the full consequences of a plot thread when you choose to take it, but you may ask the mods to be given an idea of what you're signing onto.

This log is occurring in the library. To participate, please start an introduction thread with your character exploring the observed phenomenon.]


You see them again. The webs.

At first you only catch a glimpse of them - shimmering, crystalline threads hanging off of a nearby bookshelf. You expect them to disappear the next moment, like they always do, but this time they don't. Instead, you warily observe them spreading into larger and more ornate webs, leading a path to a wing of the library you never knew existed.

From what you can see through the webs, it's older and darker, filled with dusty wooden shelves and twisting stairwells you can't see the extend of. To see anymore, you'll have to enter - but who knows what else lurks inside?
