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>

YOUR NAME: Elodie
YOUR REQUEST: My knife from home

( this is fucking bullshit that she has to fucking beg for her fucking knife that she just got back off her fucking bitch of a sister.

she knows she's barely arrived, but she would really appreciate her knife back. she isnt even asking for all her weapons. just this one knife.

she sets the note down and calls out to the Library. ) Would it help if I said pretty please? ( her voice drips with over saccharine tones. it almost sounds like an earnest plea... that might be said by a snake. )

[thirsted]

YOUR NAME: Astarion Ancunín
YOUR REQUEST: A perfumer's kit, if you'd be so kind. Well-stocked enough that I won't have to worry about running out of a signature scent — and perhaps to make a handful of gifts on top of that. One must smell their best.

[ And cover up a certain undead-y smell, but he's hardly about to put that in writing. ]

[bubblegumheart]

YOUR NAME: Chrissy Cunningham
YOUR REQUEST: Would it be possible to get an ipod filled with music?

[perfectionner]

YOUR NAME: Lestat de Lioncourt
YOUR REQUEST: An electronic keyboard, so that I might play and compose without being wholly reliant on the bar piano’s availability.

[restored]

YOUR NAME: Bucky Barnes
YOUR REQUEST: Ithemba. My goat. Someone dragged me here without her, so it's the least you can do.

[And a moment later, another card with an added-]

And Moby Dick. My cat. Same deal.

[rationalism]

YOUR NAME: Grace le Domas
YOUR REQUEST: A book called Bear by someone that sounds like Madeleine l'Engle but it definitely isn't by the author of A Wrinkle in Time! It's about a woman named Lou and a bear that has no name I don't think??? He is the island's resident pet and they become companions kind of.

[ she's so close to the right author but she doesn't think she is close enough so she adds a hastily post script, scribbled very small: ]

PS: no worries if you can't find it! But maybe Charlie and the Chocolate Factory then? THANKS

[microbasil]

YOUR NAME: Richie
YOUR REQUEST: I've heard you can get us anything, so I want a photograph of my daughter. And fuck you for not letting me call her and tell her I'm okay, you fucking psychopaths. FUCK YOU.

Thanks.

[bigsmile]

YOUR NAME: Monkey D. Luffy.
YOUR REQUEST: My Wanted poster.

library request

[godspark]

YOUR NAME: Daniil
YOUR REQUEST: Hello. I'm learning to read and I've heard there are things called audiobooks in this world? I was wondering if you had any. And, a way to listen to them. If they could help me to learn, that would be great! But, I like history, and I like stories about the gods, the old ones, from this world. Really anything is good, though. Thank you.

[break]

YOUR NAME: Daniel Molloy
YOUR REQUEST: Fidget spinner for this guy I know who won't stop fidgeting.

And if we can help you get out, send me a romance novel.

YOUR NAME: jem walker
YOUR REQUEST: danny’s mask collection from the fog 😌😌

[rationalism]

YOUR NAME: Grace le Domas
YOUR REQUEST: Thank you for the books! (And the candy! I promise I haven't been eating any in the library!) Bear was surprisingly poignant for the subject matter, you should check it out. (You can borrow my copy, let me know!)

I'm trying to make friends here and one of my friends is looking for a motorcycle, I know it's so unladylike but I really want her to like me and I think it will make her more comfortable here and that's what we all want, isn't it? Her bike is a custom BMW R69S fitted with an R80G engine. Paddle-tread rear tire and sand skids on the front to help on the dunes, and it's got an extra saddle on the back to ride with two people. Alternatively, if you've seen the cinematic masterpiece The Fast & the Furious, the bike that Johnny Tran drives would be so cool.

[ she is writing so small to fit all this in. ]

Thanks so much!

PS: Also any book that you think I would like, please and thank you!

[maxxxacre]

YOUR NAME: Maxine Minx
YOUR REQUEST: What's a girl gotta do to get a gun around here? Ain't you ever heard of gunplay? No real thrill with it if the gun ain't real, either.

( she comes running back in a little later with another quick note she just realized would have been a good ask, too. )

YOUR NAME: Maxine Minx
YOUR REQUEST: Or could I maybe get a dog? A doberman? Or a rottweiler? I promise I'll take good care of it and clean up after it so Giles doesn't get mad.

[berrying]

YOUR NAME: roronoa zoro
YOUR REQUEST: cat ears

( that's it. )

[vermax]

YOUR NAME: Jacaerys Velaryon
YOUR REQUEST: Vermax, my dragon.

( he fully expects this to be denied but one has to try since he made a big deal on butler. )

[chaosmenu]

YOUR NAME: Carmy
YOUR REQUEST: Books on: non-monogamy, leadership, what all the stuff in Otherworld does, nutritional balance for muscle building, any cookbooks you don't already have, gay sex (not porn). Thank you?

[provoke]

YOUR NAME: Prince Aemond Targaryen, Regent to King Aegon Second of His name, second son of Viserys Targaryen First of His Name
YOUR REQUEST: A portrait, perhaps, of my dragon Vhagar.

[ he takes a deep breath, and like in prayer, he murmurs after his request: ]

I understand that I might not be granted the company of my dragon, Vhagar, herself my most dear companion and friend. She is formidable and fearsome, and like to cause destruction in her wake for the joy of it. I am proud of her. I ask humbly, patron of House Balfour, to have a token of her that I might remember her while I guest under your generous keep.

[ then, a moment after, whispered to himself: you're an idiot. ]

[nishtha]

YOUR NAME: Armand
YOUR REQUEST: Dear Librarian, I would like to read everything you have, that is not presently on your shelves, on the subject of vampires and the history of vampires in this region. I hope that your present confinement will not be endless.

[lessnosey]

YOUR NAME: Captain Usopp
YOUR REQUEST: - The fireworks were so nice during that pool party, I would just LOVE to play around with some fireworks of my own. Any kind of firework would do, for the entertainment of my fellow manor neighbor!
- A slingshot (he drew the slingshot linked), so that I can shoot peanuts at unsuspecting foes. :)

But! I am a man of equality, library, and I bet you don't get a lot of counter-request offers; if you give me these two items, I will humbly draw and send you a Jolly Roger with your choice of theme. Don't break my heart and deprive yourself of a unique flag from one of the best artists in the manor...! ♥

[fieldstrip]

YOUR NAME: David Collins
YOUR REQUEST: Hello. [ What is he doing, actually. ] I'd like a working handgun and a box of matching bullets, if you don't mind. [ UHHH... ] Thanks.

library request

[homebird]

YOUR NAME: Sansa Stark
YOUR REQUEST: I should be grateful if the means to make my own clothing were provided. What you have provided is generous, and I am grateful for it, but I have always preferred to craft for myself. Thank you.

[poors]

YOUR NAME: BELLA BAXTER
YOUR REQUEST: I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE LATEST BOOKS RELATING TO MEDICAL ANATOMY AND SURGERY. I WISH TO BECOME A DOCTOR AND WOULD LIKE TO ADVANCE MY STUDIES HERE.

ADDITIONALLY, IS THERE A SOURCE OF CORPSES OR BODIES TO FURTHER CONDUCT THESE STUDIES ON? IF BODIES ARE NOT ABLE TO BE ACCESSED, THE BOOKS WILL SUFFICE IN THE MOMENT.

[holyposition]

YOUR NAME: Tim Laughlin
YOUR REQUEST: I (on behalf of too many people here) need some information about the dangers of incest - haemophilia, birth defects, fertility problems, things like that. It has to be simple and easily digestible for people from medieval times, for whom this will likely be new and alarming information. A layperson's explanation of why you should not marry your sister. I appreciate your time.

[kobes]

[Considering how much time Koby spends in the library, he doesn't make any requests beyond his typewriter for some time. Instead he reads and reads and reads, and ends up with pages and pages of notes -- about this world, about fantastical others, about astral projection and dreamwalking and the multiverse and string theory and everything Stephen Hawking has ever touched. But all that adds up to a whole lot of theory and not a lot of anything concrete. No solution to the mystery of Saltburnt. No way to get home. No way to protect the people here.

So, half-superstitious, half desperate, one late night:]

YOUR NAME: Koby
YOUR REQUEST: What am I missing? I've read so much -- and I'm thankful, I really am, but some sort of clue, something for me to focus on. Some way I can help. Something USEFUL.

I'm so scared that I'll wake up and this'll all be gone and

If that's too much I understand. New pens would be nice. I've used all the ink in the others.

[bubblegumheart]

YOUR NAME: Chrissy Cunningham
YOUR REQUEST: There isn't anything I really need. This is the nicest library I've ever seen. I guess I'm mostly wondering if you had any book recommendations. I'd like to read everything you have, but it would be nice to have an idea of where to start. In exchange, if there's anything I can do for you aside from standard library rules, let me know?

[She's not expecting a response. She's not even entirely sure how this is supposed to work, but a couple of people have told her that the library grants requests, and it kind of makes her wonder if it's a similar situation to the ghosts that were trapped aboard the Serena Eterna.]
