 ⏵ arrival ⏴ Arrival is absolutely not normal this month. Instead of a hospital bed, you wake in a tunnel with a large group of other people. These are the residents. A woman’s voice in an earpiece hurriedly clues you in with an apology. I apologize; I had not planned to introduce you this way, but we are low on time. Please proceed down the hallway. For everyone else, coming in is much the same. The instruction goes out to head to designated areas immediately, where companion bots will escort the residents of Etraya down into the depths, the area beneath where much the same is explained.  ⏵ disrobing ⏴ The tunnel eventually opens directly into the foreroom of an expansive library, painted in marvelous hues and patterns with skylights far above. There are wizards milling about, bearded and holding tomes, quietly chatting amongst themselves. The reception area of the library has tall ceilings with equally tall doors Before you get too caught up in the scenery, a voice directs you forward. A gentleman, hunched and bespeckled craws out. "Make a line! Make a line, everyone! You cannot enter the library dressed as you are... Come forward and give me your name." The receptionist asks your given name and then hands over a box from underneath his counter. You can give him any name you want, he doesn’t seem to mind. It is tied with a tagged ribbon- labeling it accordingly. “The _____ robe of _______.”
As you read what the contents of the box may be, they form inside- Looking and behaving as your character expects them to. After all, magic is all in the wielder’s mind. Don your robes and enter the library.  ⏵ unfamiliar familiars ⏴ For those without a familiar (like one hatched from an egg not too long ago) you may borrow one from the library counter. They all have strengths and weaknesses, but they will all assist in the very important mission. As you roam the library, they will make little indications that you are closer or further from finding a piece of the pearl.
 ⏵ the task at hand ⏴ With robes donned and creature in hand, you must now complete your mission. Find the pieces of the shattered pearl. As you enter the library, you may notice that it’s all very dim. There’s oil lamps around the place that may be moved with you to assist in your journey if your robes do not already emit light. Break off and search the library. There is a directory at the front to point guests to all the different sections.
Each section looks enough like the last, though the books within have immense power. Pick up the wrong book, and you might conjure a dragon or a historical figure! You must persist and avoid making too much noise or breaking too many things. Or else the Librarian, a tall mass of knotted fabric will confiscate your robe and usher you back outside. Your name will be struck from the list, and you must pick a new one to re-enter the library to continue the search. You can try to fight back against him- he may be set alight with the lamp. But should you be starting fires in here? Any thread with 15 comments between you and another may be submitted to find a piece of the pearl. There are 20 pieces altogether, and we will determine if the mission was successful by March 28th. A post will go live on the OOC comm for this! This mission occurs out of time, similar to how the spaceship had. Meaning, those currently in game can experience these events any time between now, and March 14th. Please direct all questions to our mod queries comment! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Maybe "confinement" was like getting grounded, or being made to stand in a corner.
Right. That's got to be it.]
Yes, well, [he says, skipping the whole I didn't have to break myself out this time thing, for the moment at least,] you could say I'm sort of on an adventure, too, so I probably got here the same way you did. But you know, you should never go adventuring alone, and, I need a partner. Mind telling me your name? Maybe we can team up for this.

[ Potentially also dangerous. ]
I just can't read maps very well and if I'm somewhere for the first time I can kinda get lost.
[ At the ask of her name she brightens. ] Teamwork makes the dreamwork as my Wine Aunt says! My name is Klee, we can go on an adventure together! I hope there are baddies, lots of them!
sorry for the delay migraine got me sobs
And for that he's glad that at least he found her first before someone else less trustworthy did
what a thing to say about a Harbingerbecause who knows what might of happened to her? A kid shouldn't even be here to begin with, but then, he doesn't make the rules. So she can hold onto his sleeve for as long as she wants to.]Well, it's very nice to meet you, Klee. You can call me Tartaglia. I'll make sure that neither of us get lost, don't worry.
[She seems like a feisty one though...does this small child actually know how to fight? Where are these supposed arms she has????? Armed with what, the cutest voice he's ever heard?????]
But Klee, you should leave the baddies to me. It could get very dangerous from here on out.
