The Library

[The Ace]

The Ace eases the door from SM open, his bare feet sinking into the lush, scarlet carpet as he traces a fireplace with half-a dozen deep and comfortable leather armchairs grouped around it.

Ending a comfortable distance beyond the armchairs, a long beechwood table lined with matching chairs stretches into the distance. Rows of freestanding beechwood bookshelves, end-on to the table march off to the far wall, which, like the one opposite the door, is a mass of windows.

Two thirds of the way down, against the door wall, a wrought iron staircase spirals up to the two galleries which carry yet more book cases and small reading areas at their far ends.

Freda carries in the brownie, who immediately starts to summon the books from SC.

[Leisha]

*potters in and pads around on the soft, squishy carpet*

*jumps up and down*

Heh. This is fun.

*jumps again*



(I can't lift a book, yet, or reach.)

[The Ace]

The books are still in those tea-chests sailing over your head, Leish. There's also a door to the main corridor somewhere, I just haven't found it yet.

[Leisha]

But I can't reach anyway, not unless you want kitty drool over your book covers.


And a missing door? Ooh, Loopy will investigate!

[Perpetual Man]

>Appears<
*Looks around the shelves, reading area and books moving in*
Hmmm I like this place, but no time to stay and enjoy myself for a moment.
*Walks through the shelves, breathing in the library air deeply, heading for the door to the Spectral Minglers*

[BookStop]

*Pops head in*

This isn't the toilet

*salivates in the direction of leather chairs and stacks of books, but with a sigh and a rather urgent potty dance, closes door again*

Must remember this room number for later. I wonder if they have the otters companion murky water manuevering?

[The Ace]

Probably, BS, the brownie claims to have every book ever written. For a single malt, he'll even find it for you.

[Perpetual Man]

*Almost slams the door behind him, but stops when he sees a stern look from the brownie, then...

>Vanishes<

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

*Steps into the library, glancing over at the brownie*

Hmm.....occult practices, elemental magic, summoning....anything on that? I need to make a few experiments......

[The Ace]

The brownie mimes dying of thirst.

[Tansy]

Sticks head round door and whispers - got anything good to read?

[TheEndIsNigh]

Tein hears all the commotion and steps in. Sees it's obviously a library and wonders out loud.

*Interesting, I wonder if the lads in the book club would be interested in holding the meetings in here*

[Tansy]

Hmm they might frown on ripping covers off though

[The Ace]

There is a blur and Tansy finds herself holding a book.

Both suddenly have a graphic mental image of what happens to people who damage books. Tansy finds a bookmark in her other hand.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Oh, right. *Pulls out a bottle* Here you go, Brownie, your favorite.

Now for those books I requested.....and I'll bring them back in perfect condition when I'm done.
