Day 3 OOC

Day 3

You will all find yourself at the library today (spotted some time earlier by a few of your group members). Take your time to explore, because it can clarify a lot for you.

Things you will soon notice (this will be revealed in the event thread, but just to be certain everyone is clear on these points):

• The books aren’t just books. They’re journals. However, they all look different, as if befitting the person whose name is printed on it’s cover.
• Each journal contains ONLY the entries (and corresponding conversations) of the person that originally penned/dictated them.
• They do not bend space and time to fit to a certain size, however. Each book is exactly the size it should be, depending on how much is written in them (with a little blank space at the end).
• Also unlike the original journals they do not transmit sound.
• Additionally, all filtered sections will still remain filtered.

As per the castle’s book on the top level, it is in fact locked up in that cage. Getting at it may not be impossible, however, depending on how hard you wish you try.

Sometime later today there will be a second plot post that will cover the group being forced to leave the library. Exactly when, how, and why this happens may be different depending on your course of action. That said, keep an eye out for that.

And that’s all for today. Questions can be addressed here, as always.

Day 3

Eventually the group finds themselves in a new part of the city. The stone is cleaner, the air is brighter, and everything seems far better cared for. Whether this is illusion or truth, it’s hard to mistake the trickling sound of a fountain ahead, drawing you into view of a massive open courtyard. Rising out of the middle of it is a tall building with a strangely crooked spire, topped with a globe like a watchful eye.

Closer, it’s easy to read the carved sign above the doorway.

Day 3 - Part 2

[mirror_mod]

Suddenly, the air around you seems to darken and all the books in the library fall completely silent, like someone holding their breath and then…

Every single book in the towers seems to erupt from the shelves, swirling in a confused and angry mass of pages, battering themselves against the residents inside. They might just be books, but thousands of slicing pages seems a rather unpleasant prospect for anybody.

Probably time to get out of there, and now…

((OOC: This event will trigger an undetermined amount of time after the group has had a chance to inspect Paradisa’s book. Unfortunately the info on that is forthcoming, but you can assume it has been investigated and it will be resolved as soon as possible. For the sake of pacing, this is going up now.))
