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>

Koby:
YOUR REQUEST: [Sometime early in March, after the cold has thawed and amidst clean-up and repairs, Koby steps away from dusting shelves and sweeping floors to slip a little missive into the request tube:] Welcome back. We missed you a lot. Thank you for keeping us safe last month.
I'm ready for my next assignment, whenever you are. No rush, of course -- there's still a lot to do here, after all.
-- Koby

[ Rather than a new assignment, a book comes down the tube and into Koby’s hands — entitled A TALE OF TWO KOBYS by L. Brary. Should Koby choose to read it, he’ll explore the thrilling tale of exactly what’s on the tin can, a choose your own adventure style story of two Kobys, one clever and beguiling, one fierce and strong, unwinding the mysteries of Saltburnt. To every decision he makes, there is either a positive outcome or … horrific and sometimes hilarious death. Interestingly, most of the choices are directional. Turn left or right — one is correct, and one is a pit of venomous snakes. Go up or down — one is correct, and one is slowly having your life force bled out horrifically by a bored god.

Eventually, through enough trial and error, the Kobys manage to make it to the center most point of Saltburnt — an impenetrable chamber blocked by a sickened forcefield. Try as they might, it seems every option forward leads to certain, bile-induced death. However! With enough finessing of the pages, Koby discovers upon folding one of the sheets that there is an alternate route, full of self-discovery and development. Should the two Kobys combine their talents — be both clever and strong — they can push through the forcefield and reach the center. Of course, the writing is fairly vague on the details of what cleverness or strength actually translates to, but that’s the mystery unto itself. It wouldn’t be fun if the answer got spelled out for you right?

Conclusion: Koby is given a PLOT COIN (in the form of a hidden message riddled novel) in return for his work given to the Library. ]
