THE LIBRARY

The Library is OPEN
The Library is an entity with a seemingly endless reach where knowledge and collection are concerned. It's a great tool to get what you want in theory, when it feels like being useful. Oftentimes it doesn't, or will demand something else in return. If too many requests come in, the Library will close for awhile, so we can play catch up.

Additionally, mods respond to the Library requests TWICE A MONTH. Keeping that in mind, Library requests should not be time sensitive, or important for plot motion.

UPDATE 11/16: for ease's sake we've enforced these rules to keep the Library more streamlined:

1. No weapons
2. No pets
3. No vehicles
4. There is no need to request books (unless they're specialty titles from a character's world, or you want a reaction from the Library). Whatever title or topic they're looking for, the Library seems to draw them to the right shelf.

To start, have your character fill out this request card at the Library's pneumatic tube:


<div style="width:40%;padding:20px 20px; border:5px dotted #f3ab51;"><span style="font-size:12px; font-family:baskerville; text-transform:uppercase;"><b>YOUR NAME:</span></b> <span style="font-size:12px; font-family:baskerville; text-transform:uppercase;"><b>LINK TO SUBMISSION COMMENT:</b></span> only applicable for people cashing in a reward, otherwise delete this line <span style="font-size:12px; font-family:baskerville; text-transform:uppercase;"><b>YOUR REQUEST:</span></b> </div>

Comments

library request.

[break]

YOUR NAME: Daniel Molloy
YOUR REQUEST: Macbook on loan? Or some kind of keyboard to type directly into my iPhone so my thumbs don't fall off.

[saltburnmods]

[ Inside the sent back tube, Daniel will find a laptop, which is already set up and connected to the Saltburnt Network. It functions the same as his phone, and although the space bar sticks occasionally, it seems to be in good condition. The Library also went through the trouble of setting up his desktop background. Enjoy! ]

[unorthodoc]

YOUR NAME: House
YOUR REQUEST: A live chicken.

[saltburnmods]

[ Despite the denial, the pneumatic tube comes back with a thin coating of blood on the inside of it, staining the cardstock rejection letter with red. Apparently, chickens do not survive the trip. ]

[imperatour]

YOUR NAME: Furiosa
YOUR REQUEST: An auto tool set. Or just an adjustable wrench and a couple screwdrivers if you really can't spare it.

[saltburnmods]

[ Unfortunately, the Library can't imagine why you'd need something for manual labor. Tell the maids about it, they'll fix it! ]

[guitarpicks]

YOUR NAME: Eddie Munson
YOUR REQUEST: An electric guitar and amps so it can be plugged in. For practicing and playing at totally reasonable hours.

[saltburnmods]

[ A bigger tube comes back to Eddie, featuring the guitar he wanted, with a note in flowery script that the amp will in be in his room when he returns. On further inspection, he'll find a small dime baggy of cocaine taped between the frets of the guitar, as a little treat from the Library. ]

[ravkas]

YOUR NAME: nikolai lantsov
YOUR REQUEST: a set of iron chains that one might use to restrain a very strong beast such as an elephant or an ox, obviously for pleasurable purposes, as all willing balfours are invited to tie up the king of ravka for a delightful afternoon of passion and bliss.

[saltburnmods]

[ In the returning tube are not iron chains, but a pair of surprisingly strong leather cuffs, teal in color, with gilt inlaid words on either side. The right reads, "I AM A GOOD PUPPY" and the left reads, "I AM A BAD DOG." There is also included a luxury brand topical ointment for treating raw, sore skin, along with a shirt and shorts uniform for Nikolai to wear — as if the Library wanted to remind him to have a little fun with his pressing issue. ]

[missed]

YOUR NAME: Louis de Pointe du Lac
YOUR REQUEST: Books. I've already read through much of everything on site. Histories, poetry, philosophical novels, political reviews, philosophical rhetoric, art history, anything. Gives a man something to do. What would the house librarian recommend?

[saltburnmods]

[ The returning message comes with a weighted box attachment, with a number of things inside —

1. a fat stack of People magazines all dated in 2006, and the very beginning of 2007
2. the first two installments of the Twilight series, Twilight and New Moon, which were already a part of the Library's collection, but also has a pre-release of the third installment, Eclipse
3. a self help book entitled On Desire: Why We Want What We Want — "Brimming with wisdom and practical advice, On Desire offers a thoughtful approach to controlling unwanted passions and attaining a more meaningful life."
4. a novel series from the 80s called Escaping the Werewolves, which is a bodice ripper about a woman named Louise van der Luten who has an ongoing battle between her good, Christian morals and her unyielding pheromones which attract a seemingly endless amount of alpha werewolf suitors. There are 18 installments of this series included, every book well read and beaten in, and the final book confirms there are another 17 the Library has yet to track down, but will work at obtaining for Louis
5. a French book titled Le Tueur que Vous Connaissez, which is a crime mystery about a serial killer in the early 18th century France who uses rats to torture his victims
6. also a French dictionary, if his is a little rusty
7. a puzzle (small nsfw) the Library thought he'd enjoy
8. and finally, a speculative fiction book about how, if Bigfoot were real, he and his kind might've hidden from the American public eye for most of his existence. It starts off semi-sensible, but dissolves into a call to action about doubting your government, and calling your representatives to demand knowledge about Area 51. It is titled The Bigger the Foot, the Harder They Fall.

All of this is sent with a cursive note that Louis is free to ask for more books at anytime, and the Library will be stocking them up for him. ]

[homosexuals]

YOUR NAME: Hawkins Fuller
YOUR REQUEST: The most comprehensive political and social history summary available from the 1950s onward - books, papers, anything you've got.

And speaking of anything - I'm willing to bet someone's keeping a little black book around here on the guest's preferences. Wouldn't mind a peek, or a few pages - I'm not picky. Might even be able to fill in a few for you.

[saltburnmods]

[ Several excruciatingly boring textbooks come back with a thorough dissection of English political history, from the 50s to the early 00s. A much thinner stack of notes comes from the America on the other side of the pond, which we really don't bother with learning. Upon fingering through the textbooks, Hawk will find one of them completely hollowed out, and filled up with: Jessica Simpson's edible body lotion, a rolled up Playgirl magazine, some playing cards, an empty flask, and an vintage locket with a missing picture inside.

As for his second request, a separate tube comes down with a thin manila folder full of scrap paper. On it, Hawk can read:

1. Matt brandished a knife at people because he got possessive of someone in the club.
2. Jennifer faints at anything sexual.
3. Tim doesn't really care about fixing up the chapel for god it's purely a flagellation fetish thing.
4. Alina made out with a hotdog.
5. Felix fucked his sister.
6. Koby's carpet matches the drapes.
7. Alia eats babies.
8. Furiosa gives out handies with the mechanical arm.
9. Natasha is a fake redhead.
10. Paul has a daddy kink.

Hope that helps! ]

[considerable]

YOUR NAME: hao zhang
YOUR REQUEST: bleach and pink hair die plz plzplzplz

[saltburnmods]

[ Hair dye is for ruffians and psychopaths. ]

[semicharmed]

YOUR NAME: Matthew Harcourt Jamison
YOUR REQUEST: A map out of here. Failing that, a bottle of Macallan 50. If that's too pricey, Macallan 18.

[saltburnmods]

[ The Library does not appreciate sass, thank you very much. ]

[kobes]

YOUR NAME: Koby
YOUR REQUEST: A functional typewriter and decent paper.

[saltburnmods]

[ In the returning tube, comes a typewriter with thematically pink and vaguely glittery paper. Yes, it's a fully functioning typewriter. Yes, the ink is also pink, and comes with a few pens for annotations. Yes, they're also pink.]

[missed]

YOUR NAME: Louis de Pointe du Lac
YOUR REQUEST: A camera. I know our phones can take pictures, but I was thinking something a little more analogue with film. More real in the hands. I'm not picky. (And thank you for the books).

[saltburnmods]

[ In the returning tube comes two items — one (technically vintage) Polaroid camera and one sizable bag of fresh disposable cameras, with clear instructions to get them developed at the local Boots. ]

[theunluckygirl]

YOUR NAME: Jennifer
YOUR REQUEST: Hello. Can I please have some roses or rose seeds, and some pots to plant them in? I'd like to grow roses in my room, or maybe even in the garden myself. I'd like to garden again.

[saltburnmods]

[ What do you think we hire gardeners for, silly! ]

[holyposition]

YOUR NAME: Tim Laughlin
YOUR REQUEST: Hello. I would like to request a record player, please, and some records to go with it. I'm open to recommendations, I would prefer it actually, as I come here from 1954 and am interested to discover music I would have missed in the time between then and now. Thank you very much for your help.

[saltburnmods]

[ Not a record player, but a very small iPod nano comes back to Tim, accompanied by a pair of Prada headphones. The Library has already gone through the trouble of downloading some albums for him, including Abbey Road by The Beatles, Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire by Bonnie Tyler, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? by The Cranberries, and (What's The Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis. ]

[break]

YOUR NAME: Daniel Molloy
YOUR REQUEST:
[ Daniel intends to experiment with requests for a few days so this might be a bit of a back and forth, I'll keep it to one thread! ]

A DVD of that Call Me By Your Name movie. Directed by Luca someone-or-other. As a gift for a friend.

If you're trapped in there, send me a book as well. Anything will do.

[saltburnmods]

[ But, the Library does send him a copy of the book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with ease. ]

[money]

YOUR NAME: Nami 🧡
YOUR REQUEST: Cocaine, if you know it. It's been recommended to me.

cw: explicit drug use

[saltburnmods]

[ In the returning tube is an inconspicuous necklace to keep Nami's illicit habits classy. Uncapping it will come with a little treat, all so Nami can see God and fashionably honor him all at the same time. ♥ Plastic baggies would be so gauche and proletariat. ]

[bigsmile]

YOUR NAME: Monkey D. Luffy
YOUR REQUEST: A den den mushi.

(After talking with Koby, Luffy wants to test the library. He really should specify whose transponder snail though...)

[saltburnmods]

[ The den den mushi makes it through the tube alive, but has suffered some irreversible trauma during the trip — it is no longer capable of making or receiving calls, and will only utter this mysterious phrase over and over (and over and over and over and over): omelette du fromage. (Good thing you have an iPhone for communication.) It does, however, have a healthy appetite for lettuce, so have fun with your mostly sweet new pet. A word of warning: if you feed it after midnight, it will attack you in your sleep. ]

[unapparent]

YOUR NAME: Queen Alicent Hightower
YOUR REQUEST: My late husband’s collection of Valyrian history books. It would provide me a great deal of comfort to have them with me.

[saltburnmods]

[ Instead of that, the Library opts to give Alicent The Art of Seduction, which it thinks she will get a lot more use out of. Alongside that, there is a pack of menthol cigarettes and a liter of margarita mixer — add tequila and enjoy (and forget about that old weird guy)! ]

[theminotaur]

YOUR NAME: Abigail Hobbs
YOUR REQUEST: A trophy with Matt's name on it that says: #1 Nuisance

[saltburnmods]

[ There is a returning trophy (nsfw), with the etching Abigail requested — MATT JAMISON #1 NUISANCE. ]

[maxxxacre]

YOUR NAME: Maxine Minx
YOUR REQUEST: Cocaine. Decent amount, if ya can. And some decent cowboy boots.

( Maxine feels a little weird leaving the note in the Library. she was hoping for a person to talk to a little more... specifically about her request. but ultimately settles for leaving the note. )

Uh, thank you. ( she calls out to the Library, looking around as she starts to sidle off in case she spots someone to physically thank.

as she leaves, she tucks are hands into her arms tightly around her body. she feels on edge and hopes the Library will help. she hasn't gone this long without a supply in years. )

cw: drug use

[saltburnmods]

[ The returning package to Maxine is perhaps a bit more giant than she was expecting — in the same vein as a child's architectural school project, there is a diorama of the Taj Mahal completely constructed out of packed cocaine, which can be picked off and snorted. In addition, if she makes her way through the roof of the mausoleum, she will find a signet ring with the Balfour family crest on it. The ring has a hinged top, and when opened — surprise! More cocaine. However, this particular supply never seems to dry up, as if fueled by some magical means.

And, of course. The lady's cowboy boots. ]

[redforce]

YOUR NAME: Shanks
YOUR REQUEST: A photo of Buggy the Clown. A recent one, if possible.

[saltburnmods]

[ A long body pillow comes in the returning tube, for Shanks' enjoyment. Along with that, there is also a laminated copy of Buggy's wanted poster (for easy clean up), a pack of tissues, and Jergens Almond Cherry lotion. Enjoy your night, Red-Haired Shanks! ]

[peasant]

YOUR NAME: Alina Starkov
YOUR REQUEST: Art supplies for painting and figure drawing, if you can spare them.

[saltburnmods]

[ Alina's returning package comes with the following:

1. A kind of shitty art supply pack.
2. A less shitty pack of colored pencils
3. Several unopened packages of charcoal pencils, mechanical pencils, rubber erasers, and ink pens.
4. A book to help her on her art journey.
5. A poseable art figure that unfortunately never seems to stay in the position she puts it in, although she can never quite catch it in motion.
6. An open invitation to (1) nude model posing in the form of coupons to present to people who have definitely agreed to take part. The names on each individual card are: KOBY, JOHN, NATASHA, PARISA, and CHARLES.
7. Lastly, a nsfw coloring book.

Along with those supplies, the Library also sends her an oversized smock in an effort to suggest Alina try and keep the mediums off her clothes. ]

[imperatour]

YOUR NAME: Furiosa
YOUR REQUEST: A motorcycle

[saltburnmods]

[ How very unladylike. ]

[rakta]

YOUR NAME: Lauralae
YOUR REQUEST: A notebook and charcoal, specifically designed to draw and make notes on herbs and so on. The second request is much quieter, as if embarrassed: something for comfort (like a stuffed toy) after nightmares.

[saltburnmods]

[ The Library would never let such a sweet girl down! In the returning tube, Lauralae will receive:

1. A sketchbook.
2. Some pencils for drawing, alongside with some more traditional charcoal pieces.
3. A pretty shitty art set.
4. A book of plants, for referencing.
5. And lastly, a Garfield stuffed animal, that has a baby softener smell, as if it's been through the wash.

It's worthwhile to note that the Garfield plush also has a collar around its neck. You know. If she wants to try another avenue to chase away the nightmares. ]

[metalkinetic]

YOUR NAME: Erik Lehnsherr
YOUR REQUEST: His helmet, just to fuck with Parisa.

[saltburnmods]

[ Though "approve" is debatable. In fact, there's no helmet in the return, but rather a regal looking tiara, which works the same as his helmet. Well, except for that one caveat. Don't worry about it!
PROLONGED WEAR SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE: bratty attitudes, the inclination to say "That's so hot", nausea, heartburn, and spontaneous orgasms. ]

[homosexuals]

YOUR NAME: Hawkins Fuller
YOUR REQUEST: I'm not sure how else to ask this - but I need to be as discreet as possible to handle a very...delicate situation.

Can you get me as much lore as you can on...werewolves? Preferably disguised as modern history books that no one else will want to pick up and get nosy with.

I also need six chains of solid silver, at least six feet each.

...And a calendar with the upcoming phases of the moon.

Thanks.

[saltburnmods]

[ With a suspicious lack of delay, the tube returns to Hawk with the items he requested: several books ranging across space and time and universes about the nature, lore, and lives of werewolves, from outright hypothetical and grossly overexaggerated smut, to a published biography on a werewolf titled Interview With The Werewolf and her sire-like bond with a blond little wolfwoman. All the books come with stretchy fabric book covers, which are magically warded when on a book to make the pages inside look completely blank. The chains come in the dimensions requested inside a wooden box for safe keeping, though the links appear to be etched with some ancient looking runes, the purpose of which is unknown. Lastly, there is a calendar for him with the phases of the moon marked out with a cartoon drawing of bikini clad breasts — fully covered is a new moon, and, well. The opposite is a full moon.

In addition to his requests, the Library wants to give him something a little extra, to show it's appreciation. In a velvet pouch, there sits a ludicrously expensive toy for his enjoyment. Remember to enjoy yourself sometimes! All work and no play makes Hawk a dull boy. ]
