So since the books in this place are huge letdown and it looks like we're gonna need someplace to store physical records soon, has anybody thought about building a library in here?

['Here' of course meaning Liminal Space in general, not this one specifically since... Transient.]

Seems like we could use one.

[And although he's already mentioned it before attached to another (admittedly more important) broadcast:]

...If someone wants to give me a pen and a couple empty notebooks I could probably get us started off with some stuff from home.

[Super low budget, but it is what it is.]

I could feasibly create a library tower in the workshop. Room Creation uses area, not volume, so this tower can be as tall as you'd like. I can also create an elevator if it is needed.

Further, while I can provide you with pen and paper, I could also provide you a typewriter. I have a colorless spell which can copy pages in their entirety, so we might have multiple copies of the same item in the event of an emergency.

[pseudologist]

A library? Now there's the sort of idea I could get behind.

[memorizza]

Right? Knew there was no way I'm only one around here who likes to read.

[pseudologist]

Write more than read, but they go hand in hand if you want an audience with any standards.

[memorizza]

[A writer, huh?]

Even better- can't have all consumers and no one to bring anything new into the fold. If we're gonna be stuck here for a while the same-old same-old's gonna get real boring real quick.

[pseudologist]

And that would just be tragic. No one should be stuck without any new stories to read.

[SCREAMS HELLO AGAIN LEONARDO DA VINCI

No but really- Worick's glad for the response:]

A tower, huh? I'm all for that- definitely a nice vibe.

[He's glad that the first offer is coming from someone whose vision is less 'miserable private mansion library escape' and more 'sweeping spiral staircase fantasy library'.]

Typewriter could work too- lot faster than trying to write it all out. [He almost adds 'or a laptop', but honestly... A typewriter feels cooler and considering the sorts of books he was thinking of getting down first it's way more appropriate.] ...I think I might have picked the same thing up from Misericordia- the same copying spell as Beatrice's, right?

[awitchdidit]

You!

I like you.

I have Plans for my personal dwelling that include a library, but I can certainly contribute books to a public one as well, especially by using the spell Maestro da Vinci and I already mentioned.

I just realized they both rock the man tiddy doucheneck shirts A++++

[memorizza]

Glad we're on the same page, then.

[Terrible pun probably intended. It sure as hell sounds that way, especially since Worick's never been the best at keeping a straight face when he's fucking around. Or a straight psychic tone, in this case.]

[runawaystory]

I could write a few stories too... Might be nice to get back to it, actually.

[morbirdinterest]

Hello, Leo.

I still have those papers from the...school. You recall the one. I highly doubt anyone will be interested in them, but you are free to make another copy for the library, if you wish to archive them.

[nicotinized]

Huh. You didn't strike me as a writer. [goes to show what he knows. Or assumes.]

I can get you pen and paper if you want it. I also have digital copies of a ton of stuff, but half of it is newspapers from home, so I dunno how interested anyone would be.

[pseudologist]

[Varric's brief chuckle actually carries across the network - the joys of sensory livestreaming.]

Cute. You, I like.

[memorizza]

[Worick grins in spite of the fact that no one can see him. Maybe she can hear it, who knows.]

Awesome. Can't have too many copies- I don't know how much I feel like maintaining a waitlist for the popular stuff.

[awitchdidit]

I'll get to work creating starters for the Mystery and Occult sections. That constituted most of my library at home...

[memorizza]

Nice- I'm always up for a good mystery and the other stuff sounds like it could be fun too.

[Provided the King's sigil isn't anywhere in any of those. He may or may not be doing a check in any and all contributions that wind up in this library... No one's accidentally stumbling across that shit if he can help it.]

Not too much of that around where I'm from.

[Not nearly classy enough to have wound up in his dad's collection, and in Ergastulum... Forget it. Closest thing they'd had would probably be the stuff that got passed around in some of those weird-ass Twilight cults.]

[memorizza]

Huh? Nah, not me. I got a pretty good memory, though- stuff tends to stick around for a while and I do a lot of reading.

[He and Nic had been talking about cramming another bookshelf into their tiny-ass apartment recently- as long as Ally's sticking around she'll need a few rows for her stuff as it accumulates, too.]

[memorizza]

[Another writer... SCORE!]

Definitely enough time in between Jaunts to get some quality writing done. [He grins... Psychically. However that works.] Plus you've got yourself a captive audience here- could be time for that five minutes of fame, if they weren't already up.

[willyousee]

A library... An interesting notion. You may wish to speak to Dai Malik about his project concerning maps and records of the intricacies of the Jaunts. I would be happy to duplicate the books I have read in my studies.

[A small library in and of itself... hope Leonardo is all right with making a crapton of shelves.]

Histories, legends, poetry, language primers, manuals of the rules of the guilds of Terre d'Ange, should you so choose. There are also some religious texts I can recreate. I am uncertain of their value to others, but it would be a comfort to have them amongst the rest.

[darkhourdear]

[ooooh books]

Um, I can make books and stuff with Liminal things, and I think I still have the cantrip where I can copy words? I mostly know plays, though. [and... he mostly wants to read more plays.]

[thornsofmalkav]

I can donate stuff too. No copying spell myself, but, uh, some of my friends have it and I've still got my e-reader with me and it's full of a lot of stuff. So, uh, if you needed a speculative fiction section, along with some literature, occult texts, popular science, and random other stuff, I'm your girl.

Most of my own finished stuff is, uh, short stories. Which are impossible to sell these days, which is why I haven't, but I could probably do a collection? And, um.

There's, uh, some other stuff. If we want an, um, transformative work section.

[please don't say you're surprised she writes fanfic. please.]

[memorizza]

[And Worick likes you, bro. Nic usually slaps him for jokes that shitty...

He laughs.]

Hey, I'll take it. Name's Worick, by the way.

[memorizza]

Malik, huh? Yeah, I'll hit him up- sounds like it fits right in with the info-gathering thing. Maps're new, too. I like it.

[They could hang them up in there or something- it'd definitely add to the ambiance. He's all for it.]

And I'm not really religious myself but I wouldn't turn down a chance to look at what gets other worlds outta bed in the morning. [If nothing else, it'll be interesting. He's read his world's bible, after all; a little dry prose-wise, but with more enough sex and violence to be worth his time.] You're more than welcome to start the spirituality section off, man. Knock yourself out.

[memorizza]

[Excuse him while he completely shits himself over the fact that this kid sounds like the youngest he's spoken to here... What is he, ten? Yeesh...

Still-- he's got some good-ass taste. Worick loves plays.]

I was gonna start with plays first myself, so that's great. [He makes a note to get some of the more kid-friendly stuff he knows onto paper first... Not that there's a whole lot of that.] What's your favourite one? If I know it I'll get one started for you.

[He likes kids okay..... He might not be as good with them as Nicolas, but still.]

[memorizza]

[Worick doesn't actually know what fanfiction is, so Thorne's dignity is spared there.

If anything, he just sounds pleased to have so much to choose from:]

How's all of the above sound? It'll probably take a while to get everything together anyway so at this point I'm not gonna turn anything away. [Unless it's dangerous. Like that stupid King dude's stamp dangerous. Fuck that noise.] Especially not Traveler Originals. I'm not totally sure what 'transformative work' means, but shit, I'll take that too.
