bakerstreet | The library is open

— library meme

So they say the library is a place of refuge for the bookworms and the hardworking souls just trying to eke their way to a passing grade. Maybe your character has wound up here to study, or they're here to finally pay off that fine they've accrued from all their overdue books. Perhaps they're one of the frazzled librarians trying to find something that got misplaced. Whatever the case, they're here now, so remember to be quiet!

— prompts

1) STUDYING.
You have three finals over the course of the next week and you probably haven't studied enough yet. Time to hit the books for that last-minute cramming, and pick a god and pray.

2) GROUP SESSION.
Despite the heavy demand, looks like you were the lucky person who snagged a study room. Did you remember to remind your friends to show up? Are you actually getting any work done? Or are you just drawing things on the whiteboard because what is life without a few risks?

3) WORKING.
The library has to be manned too! Your character could be one of the harried librarians dealing with an unexpected slew of visitors in the afternoon. Look: the sweet old lady who's trying to do her due diligence before she adopts a cat? She needs some help. And as much as it sucks, someone's gotta handle the logistics of requisitioning the right materials for the usual visitors.

4) TROUBLE.
Sometimes things get out of your control. For all you know, those footsteps trailing behind you for the past few minutes don't actually belong to someone minding their own business. Time to duck into the library and shake them off your tail. Maybe someone inside will help you out? Or, worse, whoever was pursuing you could just follow you right in, and now it's a mad dash as you topple bookshelves trying to keep them from catching you—or worse.

5) MISSION.
There's important case work you're prepping for and you have a lot of old archives to dig through. You've got all these books and papers spread out on the table and the clock is ticking and—oh god, are you going to be ready in time?

6) ADVENTURE.
This isn't just some average library. It's a trove of ancient knowledge and you're the first one to step into its vaunted halls for centuries, heedless of the traps. Perhaps you're the intrepid researcher who's come here to discover the lost secret to sealing an eldritch abomination that's on its way to doom humanity. For all you know, that old tome you're picking up? Maybe it's about to grow teeth and eat you. Hey, wait, that suit of armor that you thought was just decoration... That thing might be chasing you. Or that owl statue to your left, that thing looks cute—or wait, was its head facing this direction earlier...?

7) EVENT.
The library is hosting a local event! Drop by for a book fair, book club meet-up, crafts session, or whatever else you'd like to work into your thread.

8) OTHER.
Anything else you can think of!

[A Tremere's natural habitat. Info / permissions.]

[She might be an odd sight in a library, she might not! Sometimes jobs require research. Sometimes she just wants a trashy novel.]

[Libraries are one of Logan's favourite places. Especially since they contain so much obscure knowledge. Whether it's a private or public library, during opening hours or after closing, Logan can likely be found among the older, more forgotten books. Perhaps even the books which require special access.]

[Whether he's researching magic in a private library or browsing the CD section of the local public one, Eric seems comfortable here, though he may have a habit of humming as he meanders.]

[There aren't many libraries where she is from, so any opportunity to dig about for new stories is always a delight.]

( prefs & info on journal )

[ Very likely at a table working, but she's been known to browse on occasion. ]

[ She can be found in the horror section, without fail. ]

[Probably found the most remote corner and has several books piled next to him]

[It's odd, Loki seems to appear out of nowhere, and yet... they blend in as if they've always been here. As if they're meant to be here. Well, what better place than a library for the God of Stories?

They lean in close, peeking at whatever he's currently reading like a curious child.]

How go your studies?

[It may have been years since they last spoke. It may not have been. It's hard for gods to keep track of these things sometimes.]

{{Archivist and steward of a centuries old library on paranormal subjects.}}

[ Restricted Area? That sign can't stop him because while he can sort of read a little, he's going to pretend like he can't. :) Happy for all sorts of shenanigans. Info Here. ]

[ he's loitering in the stacks or browsing the catalog. possibly on his own volition, possibly waiting for someone else. either way, kai is a quiet mix of aloof and amiable. ]

[ ah yes. what could a fuckboy like sha-ming possibly be doing in the library of all places if not to cause a scene, shamelessly hit on sexy librarians, and check out the adult section?

actually, he's not here for that at all. surprisingly enough.
he's just here to check out the nature and wildlife science section. he's behaving himself rather well too and got himself a stack of books already! ]

[She is probably wandering the stacks.]

[possibly the librarian of the place with the only known copy of the book you need available or else a library patron conducting very specific research]

( castmates preferred. )

( castmates preferred, pre- or post-timeskip. )

[ book fort book fort ]

[ When you've sat in on business meetings about rebuilding whole cultures from fragments of memoria, the idea that a book could contain a world within its pages is less wild than it should be. Even if it weren't, though, Aventurine would still probably pretend at being blase about a whole library of histories and cultures coming alive between pages.

They aren't supposed to be here, and so he must behave. Still, Aventurine cannot stop himself from sliding fingertips over every shelf and spine they pass, half-expecting a secret passage to open along the stacks. ]

This would be a whole lot more entertaining if the thing you needed was in the magazines and periodicals section.

[ As though he isn't having the time of his life, chasing Ratio into something dangerous and forbidden. ]

[Whatever it is she's doing, she can't reach any of the books she actually wants...
