Trip to the Library (Closed) |
04-05-2015, 12:07 AM
The lalafell opened the door to the library, stepping in carefully, the quiet chink of chainmail accompanying him. He closed the door behind him, making no attempt to muffle the noise. He calls out, voice carrying through the quiet building, "'ello? Anyone 'ome?" His accent places him as a native of La Noscea.

The lalafell was in the lobby, in the part of the building that served as the librarian's home. The echoes carried a bit further inside, until footsteps can be heard from the hallway that leads to the library itself. The footsteps grow louder as a figure reveals herself to the lalafell.
The figure in question was a bespectacled dark green-haired female Hyur Midlander of average height, flat bust, and wearing cultural Ul'dahn wear. She wore a calm smile on her face that is a tell-tale sign that she means no harm. She crouches down to the Lalafell's face level with her warm smile and said, "Why hello there~! It's not every sun we have guests~! What can I do for you, mister Lala?"

The lalafell in question grunts. "Aye, lass, I've 'eard tell this is a library? I'm lookin' for a book on voidsent. Name's Zozokymo."

The Hyur is silent for a second, but nods. "Alice. If you want I will show you the way to the main library. Be careful not to disturb my brother studying there. He's...reclusive."

Zozo nods. "Aye, if ye say so. I can keep meself quiet." He'd follow the Hyur.

Alice leads the Lalafell deeper into the hallway, passing by several doors until they enter a huge room filled to the brim with bookshelves, left and right. There are ladders that lead to the upper shelves for those that can't reach. Right now it's kinda dark except for a single light coming from the center of the room, where another green-haired bespectacled Hyur is reading a book with a lantern nearby sitting at a desk.
Alice, whispering: "Here it is. Be careful."

Zozokymo looks around at the shelfs, and sighs. "I appreciate it, lass, but any chance ye could point me towards the right shelf? I'd hate ta spend the rest o' me days here, searchin'."

Alice: "I'm not sure. I don't spend as much time here as my brother over there. Perhaps try towards the back."
She points towards the back shelves, filled with more cryptic and rare lore than the ones in front.

Zozo nods at the girl. "Much appreciated, lass." He begins to swagger off towards the back bookshelfs, passing right by the man in the center of the room as he does so.

The Hyur man does not notice the Lalafell passing by him, and merely flips another page of his book, and adjusting his glasses with his hand.

Zozo manages to make his way to the back, and starts climbing a ladder. After all, when searching for things, best to go top to bottom, fore to aft. He manages the climb without incident, and runs his finger along the books as he reads them, needing to sound them out.

The Hyur stops reading his book when he feels something is off. He readjusts his glasses as he looks around him.
Librarian: "Peculiar. Is there a draft in the room? Alice?" Alice: "Nothing's wrong, Max." Max: "Hmm..." He starts to go in the direction of the Lalafell, but still not noticing him.

Zozokymo continues to read off the names of books, slowly going through them. He turns his head slightly at the sound of talking, listening in, before going back to searching.

Max eventually notices a ladder nearby one of the shelves in the back.
Max: "Was that ladder there before???" He then looks up to see the lalafell, then giving the lala a stern look.

Zozo feels a pair of stern eyes upon him, and looks down at the Hyur. "Aye, lad. The ladder was here before. I jus' started climbin' where I found it. Now, ye know where some books on voidsent are, by chance?"
