EONIA

[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.

[S-staring back at the cat]

Um…

[idrila]

I wonder if he would like some treats. I should have brought some with me before we got trapped.

[ Going to crouch down in front of the kitty and hold out his hand. ]

[heyyomynameis]

[Also crouching and watching Amy work]

I shouldn’t be surprised…

[idrila]

It could be a she, but I am not sure if I want to lift the cat up enough to check. That may put her in a foul mood.

[heyyomynameis]

Oh, I just meant like. You being good with animals.

[livestage]

[the cat moves away from you :(]

[idrila]

...It looks like someone wants their space. As you wish, my sweet feline friend.

[weboftruths]

[He's been boat missing for a few days don't mind much]

What is it?

[heyyomynameis]

Mocha!

[idrila]

Oh Mocha, there you are! I was worried you had vanished like our other dear brethren!

[ Guess who is getting a hug. ]

It was so much more quieter without you. Did you know one of my proteges appeared not too long ago?

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.

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[idrila]

Can we have food for the kitty?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[livestage]

[The cat rolls over, paws in air:]

I do not need sustenance. Do you still request it?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[idrila]

[ So. Precious. ]

May I change my request to a cute little kitty bonnet?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[heyyomynameis]

What makes for a good ending?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[livestage]

Clarification, for who? Or in general?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[heyyomynameis]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm....for you, I guess! I'll go first, I like the kind of endings where the protagonists get what they needed, even if they don't wind up getting what they originally wanted. I like happy endings that tie up nicely at the end.

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[heyyomynameis]

Also, um.

[Takes a moment to focus on trying to look glossy eyed and pleading???]

Can we please keep the cat...? If they want to be kept, of course.

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[livestage]

...............No. I am the cat. You cannot keep me.


[As soon as a question is answered, you feel an increase in ▮▮▮▮▮▮ ▮▮▮▮ within you.]

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[idrila]

[ Oh, that is disappointing. ]

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[heyyomynameis]

....................a talking cat. And you're right, I asked that wrong. Will you keep us?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[idrila]

Are there any books here on how best we can care for our little Doppio?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[livestage]

Ah, DOPPIO, your legend? I think you don't need any books. Basically as long as you care about them and remember them, they will simply evolve along the way.

If you like bonnets, then...they will probably also learn to like bonnets.

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[idrila]

I will take this wisdom and apply it immediately. Doppio is getting all the bonnets and cute clothes he could ever ask for. We'll spoil him but not so much that he becomes selfish and inconsiderate.

Gentle spoiling.
