SIRENS MELODIES

[livestage]

You find yourself in an ornate library.

Now, the library itself isn't huge or grand, it is just a singular room. However, there are plenty of books from ceiling to floor. The books look somewhat old, or at least nothing like what you'd see in modern times, but many of them look well worn and loved, read thousand of times over most likely.

There's plenty of space for those who are tall, and yet it still feels cozy somehow. It's still compact, obviously meant to keep up to 3-4 people comfortably (7-8 will work but it's a little tighter!), but the odd part is that there's still enough light pouring through the window to make it feel refreshing and airy. You can breathe easy in here.

Light? Yes, the large window in the back seems to lead to a yard. The only way out seems to be unlocking it, but the keyhole to the window will not open.

There are places to sit and several books of fairytales, stories, and legends you have certainly NEVER heard of. Some appear ancient and some seem brand new, but no matter the age of the book, there is a bookmark in each one left on a random page inside of the book.

On the wall across from the bookshelves are older portraits, those with a keen eye will recognize the Showmaster in them (and for the newer folk, it looks like the passed out lady weird), but much, much younger. The photos are definitely within the range of somewhere between the toddler years to around 10 years old. They seem to be family photos, her standing with adults and other children her age that resemble her features.

There is also a black cat with purple eyes staring at you.

I’m not sure I’m built for so much mood whiplash…

[beckoning the kitty and making pspsps sounds]

[ Already perusing the books curiously. ]

There is a familiar novel in one of these...it resembles The Petit Siren, albeit far more poetic than the more commonly known version of the tale. There is no singing crab, for instance.

[the cat moves away from you :(]

[ how are you still so calm ]

[livestage]

Please toplevel to this thread every new question, do not combine them, it's just easier for me to track.

I will run this until Sunday or Monday evening, depending on how the vibes go.

Will that lady who collapsed be all right?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[herox]

[,]

What did you just do to me for asking that question?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[herox]

So what’s up with the books? Anything you want us to do with ‘em?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[unsub]

[ to the cat ]

Are you really a cat?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[herox]

Take it easy, I thought they were closely related enough to count as one thing. Is there anything you want us to do with the books?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[regulate]

Are any of these books related to the Sirens or their history?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

What's within your soul?

How do you kill the Ocean?

Ever tried getting more social hobbies?




Like joining a book club. Or tabletop.

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[herox]

What are the right questions?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[herox]

[sighs]

I’m not seeking anything, I just got here. So: if there was something you’d think was best for the Arias to poke at with their questions here, what would it be?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[unsub]

When you say stuck in the ocean, do you mean deep down in the ocean, or...?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[unsub]

Who are we to you?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[herox]

…Is there a book here that’s about you?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[unsub]

[ well he has to ask now ]

Are you writing fanfiction about us?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[herox]

Please show me which older books here mention you. There’s quite a lot to sift through otherwise, and I’m not that skilled at data perusal.

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[unsub]

Right, you did say that during your big speech. Which still barely makes sense, by the way.

Who's the dear friend of yours that you were talking about?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[unsub]

Are we going to be fired, by the way? Some of us didn't get to request time off. I was on lunch break, so as far as my job goes, I'm definitely a no show by now.

[justonezero]

[Boy, sure hope this cat doesn't get distressed about sharing space with him like all the other animals he's encountered.]

So... more stuff about Legends?

[regulate]

It would appear so, though I am not finding anything of interest in these books. The tales are entertaining at least.
