Who: Open Post
What: Opening Post
Where: All over the library and its grounds
Warnings: [to be edited if necessary]



Today the Great Library opens its doors to all Patrons, who have come from many of the stories and books all available on the shelves.

For this first visit, Patrons will be restricted to the Library and its grounds.

Fortunate, then, that these are impressive indeed - large gardens set up for all sorts of activities, woods surrounding the area and in the Library itself? Cafes, internet access, and the best weapons in the universe: books.

Do enjoy your first visit to the Library, Patron, and always remember the rules.

The Rules of the Library
1. Patrons cannot read further ahead in their own stories than the time they have arrived from. Any attempt to do so will result in being met with blank pages.This lack of information will also occur if trying to find out spoilers online.

2. Patrons cannot tell other Patrons how their story ends. Any attempt to do so will find the Patron unable to find the words to explain it.

3. All books must be shelved correctly.

4. Do Not Harm the Books

5. Do not interfere with the nature of Narrative Causality

[Bullseye whines when Enjolras stops petting him. That was nice, he liked that Please pet again human.]

A student, eh? [She raises her eyebrows slightly, cocking a hip.] Not a student- as far from one as you can get. Ain't ever set foot in a proper school.

[knowntohisfriends]

Probably not as much as I should be. I'm one of those who adapts, y'know.

[There's a pause as Benedick seems to put some consideration to this]

A man fighting himself can only look to himself for peace.

she’s from like after the drama but before she finds her door again btw

[lithification]

It’s faster to become again, in this world— or, well. In any world that isn’t her own. It’s not something she’s too fond of.

But perhaps the one benefit to going from statue to human once more with (relative) speed is that she gets to react that much quicker to the sight of a friend she thought she’d never see again.

“Jack,” she says, unable to help the smile, “It’s good to see you.”

Circumstances aside, obviously.

[lovetohim]

[Of course that earns a fond, gentle smile. He doesn’t know how to be anything but, with her.]

Of course, my lady.

[logomachist]

[There's a brief, tuneless hum for the dog, something almost like a smile at the edge of his lips for a heartbeat.]

Is that the farthest thing from a student? Someone who hasn't been to school?

[There's a lovely literalism to that, admittedly.]

[wellenough]

No matter what?

[importuned]

Is there no reminding him that he ought to do so?

[ivegotmypride]

[She's ready to get offended.]

Well it ain't a teacher. [or was it?]

[importuned]

Then be gentle, Horatio, with one of my dearest friends.

[Her fingers stiffen for just a beat to hold him in place. She needs to press up onto her tiptoes to press a light kiss against his nose, and there's no small chance she'll stumble if he pulls away too quickly.]

Be not so hard.

oooh good to know

[addamstwin]

Jack nods. "You too. If unexpected. I didn't know you could get here from that world. Not if your door didn't go here."

[knowntohisfriends]

Guess I should say in most situations, right?

[theprincesjester]

Only on the part of those who know him well.

[importuned]

[Her sigh is soft, as repressed as she can manage.]

Can one truly know another well?

[wellenough]

Can't see why you shouldn't make the bolder claim.

[logomachist]

[There's another quirk of his lips for that, book tucked for the moment under his arm.]

It's someone who refuses to learn, I think.

[knowntohisfriends]

[There's a shrug]

Always been good at adjustin', me.

[theprincesjester]

An interesting question, one scholars must debate over.

[wellenough]

Know more than a few grown men who could learn a thing or two from you, then.

[importuned]

What hope is there for the rest of us, then?

[knowntohisfriends]

Easier to learn to deal wiv what yer handed when you ain't handed much to being with.

[theprincesjester]

A fairly decent one as long as we are willing to admit to our own faults.

[ivegotmypride]

[She likes the way he smiles.]

Well that ain't me, then.

[wellenough]

D'you think that's it?

[Because it was definitely the richest and snobbiest men he knew who couldn't handle themselves.]

[logomachist]

[For better or worse, most people do.]

Not the farthest thing, then.

[Which, well, is why she's being handed the book he'd been reading.]
