Library [09/26]

[furnaceface]

There was music in the library today. It wasn't the same, loud, pervasive music that Jonothon normally opted to, however. Today it was almost like a whisper of music. Like a hundred little voices all joining together in song.

... Or, more accurately, the rustling of the pages of every book on the subject of music in the entire library, all rising up in glorious, but quiet, harmony.

They'd just finished Sound of Silence, and were moving on with Scarborough Fair when Jono came in, levelled that aisle with a look, and then shook his head and set to work shelving things. Occasionally, things that were singing at him.

Ah, Fandom.

[Open! And listening to Simon and Garfunkel.]

And yet! Yet one of Jono's friends here on the island happened to be one! And didn't like the way Jono smelled, but that was neither here nor there.

//Wolves would be that way,// he noted, pointing down the appropriate aisle. //With the other books about animals. Werewolves are a bit more touchy. Were you asking about th'fictional creature, or th'genetic, sometimes magical, sometimes viral phenomenon that isn't quite so fictional?//

Fandom library. You had to have a lot of different sections to accommodate.

"I'm not- quite sure yet," William admitted. "Perhaps I'd best start with the non-fictional, then." If the witness claimed to have seen a werewolf, it would make sense to see if their description matched any actual werewolves.

//Run into a wolf on the island that's grabbed yer interest, have you?//

Look, Jono wasn't stupid, really. He was no great detective, but he did make use of his powers of observation from time to time. When he felt like being nosy.

"No, not- not on the island. And it wasn't I who ran in to them. So to speak." Thank God, considering he rather liked his throat intact... er, no offense, Jono.

//Ah, elsewhere, then,// Jono replied, mildly. If William hadn't run into any here, then there was no point in him naming names, either. It seemed easier all around. //Not a terrible shock, that. Someone from a world that has them, telling you stories, is it?//

"Whoever coined the term 'dead men tell no tales' has clearly never heard of forensics," William shared.

Never mind that less than a month ago, he had barely known anything of forensics.

//Mmm, or vampires,// Jono noted.

... He'd met a few of those since coming to Fandom, too. One of them was Elvis. Just saying.

//We've got a section on th'paranormal, right down that way. You can't miss it. It's th'one with all of the books on werewolves, zombies, poltergeists, and th'like. I don't know how much of it you can take to heart, but I can tell you, each reality that touches this island seems to be a bit different from th'next. Just because it doesn't marry up to what you know doesn't mean it's wrong, either. Keep an open mind about you, and you should do fine.//
