Killer librarians gonna librarian

I hope everyone has made permanent as many books as they could from the last space. Those you wish to make available to everyone, please fill out a card for each of them telling us with whom it can be found, and place it in a public catalog, like the one in L—The Workshop. [ Can he still call it Leonardo's Workshop if Leonardo is gone? He wants to, but that is also like putting salt in the wound. ] Alternatively, leave them with me in The Workshop and I will shelve them for you.

What we've just received may serve, but personal accounts such as ours will shed light on more than just general history. I encourage you to write your own. I have again gathered my own notes on last Jaunt. You can find them under the title January Codex. I did not have much this time around. A bit about youth culture, illegal vision technology, courier trade, artisan trade, smuggler trade, what Jason told me about a book describing how the plague began, and how... delinquents are dealt with.

I came back with a pair of long earrings, but I do not wear earrings. Would anyone care for them? They are made of feathers and painted bird skulls.

[ And lastly... ]

If I... did anything embarrassing during the Samhain festival, I apologize. For my other self. I was not myself. And drunk.

Ahaha, oh dear, this might take a while...I'll have cards for you, and hopefully copies of the texts themselves, fairly...well, within a week, anyway.

And thank you for recording your knowledge of the Jaunt. I'm well behind on my own.

[ If nothing else, Beatrice was dedicated to spreading information with the tenacity of a disease. ]

As I said, I did not have much. [ Thanks, Atos. ] Ah, but there were vandals in the city as well. Perhaps I can reproduce some of the posters. That will likely make a good-sized appendix. [ Considering he remembered them very well, as he had made half of them. How about those pesky vandals... ]

[It's even more fun than spreading misinformation when reality is this fucking weird.]

Yes. Those terrible vandals with their subversive propaganda and deep-pocketed black market...

[ Beatrice... He knows she is joking, but he can't help privately rolling his eyes. ]

Be sure to note them as well. But take care to separate opinion from fact. I have heard this is a problem.

Some say history is written by the victor. I say history is written by historians - human men and women with their own agendas.

I'll try to be good, though. Elfatrice didn't have much of an opinion besides "fuck the poisoners" anyway.

Not being ourselves does make it more difficult. Things they miss because they are not related to their interests could be very important to us. This is why I set to work on my notes as soon as I can, while the memory is fresh.

[ If he could sigh heavily over the network and have it come across, he would. He is beyond done with this Infiltration shit. ]

Ideally, people listen to you and we get everyone's perspective recorded somewhere. The more observers of a situation, the more reliably it can be pinned down.

[She likes mystery and all, but right now she's playing the detective side of the game.]
