Welcome to the Library
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

The Biologist | Annihilation/The Southern Reach
There's a number of books spread out, taking up nearly a whole table. It's mostly zoological textbooks, both mundane and fantastical, modern and Ye Olde Beestiary types. And then there's the whole quarter of the table devoted to one particular author: Lovecraft.
The Biologist hovers over them, flipping a page here, a page there. She can't even decide where to start. It's like being a grad student all over again.
[The Grounds]
The Biologist can be found outside in the gardens. It's the heat of the day, bright out. Blocky hedges have riots of flowers. That means pollinators: bees, butterflies, hummingbirds. In her system, The Brightness stirs, altering her scent, making her smell non-threatening to them. She wants to study them, to see if they're any different from bees, butterflies and hummingbirds back home...Or in Area X.
So if you're out there, or just watching through a window, you'll see a tall woman in a quasi-military jumpsuit walking through a cloud of butterflies or bees, letting one alight on her hand is she studies it.
