i sympathize
Princess Rue, anyone from the Opera House, if I may ask about Cain's disposition? Is he faring any better?

...

I am glad that you approve of the book that I bought for Aden, Miss Walker. Best to start them early, I gather.

And Luke, again, an honor to have met you. Did you find what you were looking for in there?

Mm, Barnabas, I am thankful for the help around the library, but I must also hire someone, uhum, taller, to help me around the library.

The position for assistant librarian is still open. And perhaps, someone who can mind the computer room of the library and supervise and maintain it for upgrades and the like.

Again, they must not mind working with a dog. And a cat. And a raven as well.

EDIT:I would like to welcome Miss Raven and Luke to the library staff. But of course, we are still looking for extra hands to help. An assistant for the circulations desk, for example...

I'm not completely sure, but ... I don't think he's doing much better.

You need help around the Library?

... I see.

This has... struck him to his core, I see...

...

Ah, yes. It has been a month since Ptolemy, my former assistant librarian went home. Are you interested in being my assistant librarian, Miss Raven?

... it feels sounds like it. I hope he won't do anything reckless; it'll be exactly what his opponent wants from him.

I spend most of my time there anyway. I'd like to help if I can.

I do hope he will still be swayed by reason. His father is dangerous. But... it seems that something has snapped. Riff has been with him ever since he was young, and... he is determined to take him back...

Indeed, I notice you here most often. Well, then, you are hired, Miss Raven. I thank you for the help.

Ah, and please do not mind Barnabas (the dog), Tameri (the cat) and Matthew (the raven). Barnabas and Matthew are both from my world, and I am keeping Tameri for an old friend for the time being.

Trying earlier didn't seem to work very well. I think ... he just needs some time, perhaps. And friends to keep him from being too hasty. But hiding forever isn't an answer; there will have be an end.

No problem. I would like to. This is the biggest Library I've ever seen; I just hope I can do well enough.

I'm ... not the best with animals, but I don't mind them if they don't try to lick me. And ravens, I'm familiar with.

I hope so. I hope his sister might bring him around. We shall have to wait and see...

I have no doubt you shall do splendidly.

Ah, Barnabas is well behaved. And rather a jolly sort of dog. He does not lick, let me assure you. Tameri as well, she mostly keeps to her corner of the library, though you might find her mostly by the window.

Ah, yes, Matthew. He is our Lord Dream's raven. I am glad to hear you do not have any objections to animals around the library. And... ah, you have ravens yourself?

And it seems that Luke will be working here as well. You have met each other?

Mmn.

-- ah, thank ... you?.

Oh, good. My last encounter with a dog was very ... wet, but if he doesn't lick, I see no problem at all. At least they are not afraid of me.

Something like that. They're not really pets though. Lord Dream...?

Briefly, yes. He came over yesterday, right?
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 04:10 am (UTC)
Yes, he did.

Ah, yes. Lord Dream is our Lord and master. Our realm is The Dreaming. I also oversee the library in the castle, hence I am doing the same thing here. He comes by every now and then, same with his sisters and brother and brother-sister.

... are you a nightmare too then?
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:

... you have met the Corinthian, I gather?

No, I am the librarian. That is my function. Being a nightmare is his.
[info]unkindnessof wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 04:25 am (UTC)
Yeah.

Oh... okay. The dreamworld has a library too? Are they connected somehow, dreams and stories?
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 04:36 am (UTC)
I see. And what did you make of him?

Indeed. The library I maintained there is a little different though. The books in there are books that have never been written by anyone. Unfinished ones, books that have only been thought about by their respective authors, those are the books that I kept.

Ah, yes, very much so. Lord Dream is also called the prince of stories. He dispenses dreams to the dreamers.
[info]unkindnessof wrote:

Not what I expected for a nightmare and right on the mark at the same time. Not that I would know either way. I like him.

... cool. Sounds like a neat job.

He has been her longer than I have. I think he has... grown as a person, so to speak.

It is the only job that I know how to do.

[ooc: ^__^ Mun wants it too]

I didn't know they could do that. But then, I'm learning lots of new things here, it seems. ... is that a good thing?
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 05:14 am (UTC)
I think so. He is closer now to his own humanity than he has ever been before. He has formed relationships here, and friends as well.

... yes, I think that is a good thing.
[info]unkindnessof wrote:

... good.

So, when should I start?
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 05:23 am (UTC)
You may start on Monday. It is the weekend, after all. Perhaps you have other plans.
[info]unkindnessof wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 05:25 am (UTC)
Sounds good. A friend from home showed up recently, so I guess I do now, yeah.

I'll probably still come by sometime though.
[info]knightbalanced wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 03:12 am (UTC)
I did, actually. There's all kinds of stuff hiding back there in the cabinets in the computer room.

If you don't get any other applicants I wouldn't mind helping out for a little while. I've struck out so far in the job department.

How goes the Greek uprising?

Ah, I did not really get the hang of technology, unfortunately. Give me a blank ledger, a quill and a small pot of ink and I am content.

Ah, I'd be honored! Since you know your way around the computer room already, would you not mind in upgrading the technology the library currently has? Sonny did an admirable job with it during his tenure, but as you saw, it ceased when he left. But certainly, there are jobs out there for someone with your very considerable talents.

A few singed pages due to fires, and spears sticking out of the pages, but it was quelled, mostly. By placing them as far apart as they possibly can be placed. Different bookshelves, even.

Great. I've been looking into other things, but to be honest, I'm a little tired of running around and... all that. Though if anyone needs help I'd be there, of course.

Updating the computers sounds good. I found some holocrons and a few other things, I'll probably see if I can make an advanced technology corner, or something.

... Books are weirder than I thought.
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 03:38 am (UTC)
That is most admirable of you, Luke. And an advanced technology corner? Most interesting indeed. Your knowledge about technology is light years from mine.

... ah! Not all of them are like that, of course. Some are inanimate. But some here are imbued with magic, and... well, come alive.

... it keeps the place interesting.
[info]knightbalanced wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 03:44 am (UTC)
I don't think said corner would be anything super exciting, just a space for any other odds and ends I find. Because someone needs to go through those drawers. There was holocrons lurking, who knows what else is in there.

Wow. I'll keep that in mind if I decide to go browsing.

It looks like Raven will be around, too?
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 03:52 am (UTC)
Ah, but you would know what to do with them, and how they function. You'll never know, perhaps a library goer might find them exciting.

I've learned that if you open a book and you hear any noise coming from it, best to close it and look for another copy that is quieter.

Ah, yes. Miss Raven comes here often. You two have met each other then?

We've spoken over the network. Looks like you'll have a full staff, soon, Lucien.
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 04:07 am (UTC)
Indeed. It has been a while since we've had all hands on deck, so to speak. I'm looking forward to it and working with you very much.
[info]knightbalanced wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 04:24 am (UTC)
Same here. When should I start? I've promised to meet someone for lunch tomorrow, but I can come in before that in the morning, if you like. Or later. My schedule's not exactly packed.
[info]1stlibrarian wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 04:33 am (UTC)
Ah, since there has been not much activity here, perhaps after your lunch appointment then, if it will suit you.
[info]knightbalanced wrote:
May. 3rd, 2008 04:39 am (UTC)
That works. I'll be seeing you tomorrow, then.

Princess, do you know the whereabouts of Riff, then?

I think Miss Merryweather is with him and Riff... He's not in the Opera House.

Mm. At least his sister is with him.

Was Riff forcibly taken? Or... went away of his own volition?

No... It's complicated, but he's dangerous now.
