*Scans up and down the log*
That’s not as bad as I was expecting.

@Meta

Right? Lead the way, I may have been first to take this up but, you seem just as fired up as I am.

*Noct hoots in agreement with a happy expression on his face*

I love love stories! Depending on how this library is organized, we can try to pick out genres and filter through all romances in this place.

@Meta

Alright then, here!

*I hand the inventory log to you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Double takes at the books, optimistically bewildered*
So they want us to succeed at this quest!

@Meta

Hmm... There may be more to this than just a simple artifact... I have a few hunches, but I'd like to investigate further...

*I flip through the pages*

This is an inventory log for all the books in this library... The first thing to look for is a book that holds the secrets of the heart. So like a love story?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Don't look at me, I can't read it either.

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

That is common for places like this though.

@Zealz

HEY VOICE! COULD YOU AT LEAST TRANSLATE SOME OF THIS STUFF!?

*I wait for a reply, and many of the books in foreign language have their letters shift and change to look more like commons*

Well... Uh... That... Huh- I didn't expect that to work.

*Turns it over in my fingers*
I've seen enough poisonings to avoid strange plants.
*Tosses it over my shoulder and shrugs*
But I'm excited to see if it affects you!

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*raises my hand*
No thank you, I appreciate the offer.

@Zealz

Suit yourselves! Anyways...

*As I enter the library I pull out a book from the reception*

Alright... Already I sense a problem... This is a language I've never seen before.

*stands there staring at you*

@Zealz

What do you want some?

*I point offer the flower to you*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Turns over the flower and inspects it closely*
I’m not above eating flowers, but I don’t think I’m going to risk it.

@Meta

Hmm...

*I gulp down the flower*

Overly cautious I see... Tell me, what were your other adventures like before this one?

*I stand up and start walking towards the library*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Watches, half surprised and half curious*
Not the weirdest thing I’ve seen, but that’s not something I see very often.

@Meta

*I Speak as I chew*

Mmm! itsh shweet!

*I turn to you and hand a flower over*

Here try it!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

They could be poisonous, so be careful. I don’t think I’ll stick around the tree.

@Meta

I don't think a kingdom would place down a tree with poisonous flowers in the middle of a town square.

*I pick up one of the fallen flowers and examine it*

They're not poisonous, however... Hmmm...

*I put it into my mouth*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

What kind of flowers do you think those are?

@Meta

*I look up to the flowers and notice the breeze gently making their petals dance*

They're no flowers I've ever seen before... But they look pretty.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I'm going to make a guess. I don't think it was something natural.

@Meta

That much is certain...

*As we follow the path we finally come to the town square. In the middle is a large tree, bigger than any that we saw in the woods blooming with white flowers. All around are buildings like cafes and restaurants all of which empty. But in one corner there was a large building with the words Central Library lining the top of its entrance*
