Papercuts Are Inevitable | The Library | Days 8-10 [OPEN]
[ooc: this search is going to take place over three in-game days (days 8, 9, and 10), so please state in the post subject which day you want to go for!]
Answers have come, but not enough. She's remembered two more things since she awoke: the poisonous forest surrounding the pure land, and herself preaching peace to a crowd of people. Neither memory gives answers regarding the other, which leads her to the library's fourth wing. If in her memories she cannot find answers to her questions – Who is she? Who were those people? Why is the forest purifying the world? Why that urgent plea for peace? – then perhaps she'll find them in books.
That is, if she can find any that she can read. She's been here before, more than once, but she has never found a book in a language that she could understand. The languages in the many books she's looked over have all been beautiful-looking, but that doesn't help much when she doesn't know what they say.
She picks a bookshelf at random, and slides a book out of its place. Its cover is colorful and ornate, but a look inside reminds her that she's likely not going to have much luck on this search, at least not anytime soon. She puts it back with a sigh and takes another one out. This is going to take a while.

Day 9!
Although the books seem interesting enough. She pulls one off the shelf, and after two tries remembers which direction to open it in.
"What language is this even supposed to be?"
She doesn't realise she spoke aloud right away. But what does it matter, she's the only one in here, right?
no subject
"I'd be surprised if you could read it," she says, approaching the child. She pulls another book off the shelf, opens it up, and lowers it so the child can see. It's in a language she can't understand. "See? Most of these books are in strange tongues."
