Library, Friday

[crimson_sister]

Yesterday had been disturbing. That was all Lucille was going to say on the matter, and she was going to support any research done into what was happening.

The library was open, and even though drinks were generally forbidden here, tea was being offered.

Mod your library needs

[crimson_sister]

Should you need to.

Talk to Lucille

[crimson_sister]

If you're doing research she will offer you tea.

Obi-Wan had not gone very far from this library, beyond to make a quick exploratory round of their new circumstances.

Then he had returned, and he was currently picking through the stacks, still trying to separate old from new.

"Tea?" Lucille offered.

Re: Talk to Lucille

[saddeserthermit]

"Please," Obi-Wan said, with a wry but affable smile. "If you would be so kind."

Re: Talk to Lucille

[crimson_sister]

Lucille poured a cup and offered it to Obi-Wan. "Milk and sugar? I assume you are here to try and find some clue to these strange events."

Hyacinthe's nightmares had been increasingly disturbed since the fog had rolled in and his attempts to use the dromonde felt stifled. The only reason he was here today was because he'd gotten a clear vision of something important here today and he was for anything that could help end this.

Even seeing Lucille at the library could not ease his concern, and the smile he had for her was wan. But then, passing by the principal's tower, he'd had a sense of something massive and evil, like an ancient evil rising up from the depths.

He'd run the rest of the way here and even now, his breathing wasn't quite even. He was trying to tell himself it was because he was out of shape, rather than the fear still thrumming through his veins.

"Hyacinthe," Lucille greeted him. "It is good to see you here."

Re: Talk to Lucille

"I would say the same, but I believe I'd rather see you somewhere safer," Hya said, brushing his dark curls out of his eyes. "This place is a guttering candle in the darkness, and I would you away from it all."

Re: Talk to Lucille

[crimson_sister]

"It is sweet of you to care." It was, even if Lucille felt she could take care of herself.

"Can I offer you a cup of tea?"

Research

[crimson_sister]

With tea if you like.

Kitty had tea, but was mostly ignoring it in favor of research.

At least until she said, "I think I've got something."

Re: Research

[saddeserthermit]

Obi-Wan rubbed at his tired eyes and looked towards her. "Yes?" he said. "What is it?"

RE: Re: Research

[throughaphase]

"Someone drew what I think is an Iron Man?" she said, turning it to show him the drawing, which had been hastily scribbled, with lightning bolts around it. "'Lightning storm almost made him fall?'"

Ahsoka was distracted this morning as she leafed through various books, in addition to the still-present buzzing sensation, she'd had...disturbing dreams last night. And not the kind she was used to.

Re: Research

[saddeserthermit]

Obi-Wan had a great deal of tea by now. He also had a large stack of notes.

Re: Research

[snipsnspecks]

"Master Kenobi?" Even if he hadn't ended up in charge Ahsoka would've approached Obi-Wan. "I found something."

She rubbed her left montral. "I think."

Re: Research

[saddeserthermit]

"What did you find?" Obi-Wan said, sitting up.

There were large stacks of folders piling up in front of him, and at least one of them looked slept on.

Re: Research

[vrajna_kralis]

"What is this?" Hyacinthe asked, flipping through a book made of blank pages where clippings and pictures had been attached. "Is this about the island?"

It seemed to be! Records of invasions past, with several pages circled in red.

"I think someone may wish to see this," he called, holding the book in the air.

Re: Research

[saddeserthermit]

Obi-Wan got up out of his seat and crossed the library until he was at Hyacinthe's side. "What have you found?"

Re: Research

[vrajna_kralis]

"It may not be much use at all," Hyacinthe said apologetically, showing Obi-Wan the book. "But 'tis a record of past occurrences that Fandom has undergone, see? And someone has gone through and drawn circles about certain ones. Something about a plague and some kind of 'Eldritch Rot.'"

He hesitated before saying, "I found it with the dromonde. That makes me think it is worth looking over further."

After awhile Ada sat down next to Hyacinthe.

"Take a break," she suggested softly, offering him one of the pieces of fruit she'd brought with her. "Ain't gonna find nothing else if'n you don't take care of you."

Re: Research

[vrajna_kralis]

Hyacinthe sighed, rubbing his eyes. His fingers were stained with ink; quills still felt more normal to him than pens. "This is not my forte," he admitted quietly. "I am not much of a scholar."

Re: Research

[boneyard_girl]

Something had tried to kill her on the dorm roof this morning. Ada had been out there checking the little garden for anything edible when it flew at her, screaming. She'd dashed back inside, throwing her weight against the door to keep it out until it got bored and wandered off.

She wasn't staying there any more. She'd thrown essentials (and a few sentimental items) into two messenger bags, and headed in to the library, figuring that's where most of the adults would be -- who were better at fighting things than she was -- and that there was safety in numbers.

Ada knew as much as she loved novels that research wasn't her strength, so she'd brought something else to help instead: pulling foodstuffs out of one of the bags and starting to fix sandwiches for people, and making a stack of fruit. Since without power everything in the common room fridges was going to go bad, she'd raided them for things that would need to be eaten sooner rather than later.

I hope I'll feel better later and can participate.
