When in doubt...
— 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 anything else you can think of.
