LIBRARY

---

This a double carriage. On the bottom floor there is a corridor running along one side, with a door to enter the carriage itself in the middle of the corridor. Up the stairs on either end of the carriage, the space is open, relatively.

Downstairs appears similar to a public library. The walls are painted brightly and lined with shelves, most of which are empty. Labels indicate that fiction books should be stored here. The wall facing the door is alternating windows looking out into the Void, and posters that seem to be large, blown-up book covers for the more popular fiction books in the train.

Four tables with linked chairs are spaced throughout the car, each one painted one of the team colours, and beanbag chairs similar to those found in the Games carriage can also be seen scattered in a pile in one corner.

A little wooden train with shelves built into it winds its way through the tables, its shelves filled with all of the previously-purchased Merry Little Void Train literature and the first book of several of the encountered but unpurchased MLVT series, including several colouring books. There's room on its shelves for far more than it currently contains. Kheli the rabbit is painted leaning out of the engine window, waving.

Along the far wall to the right are two scanning machines, which can do the following: register new books - as a helpful tutorial on the screen will inform you; provide summaries of books if given a specific title; or check books out if presented with a valid ticket. Passengers can have up to eight books checked out at a time; if someone walks out of the carriage carrying a book not checked out by them, the ICP speakers in that carriage will beep obnoxiously for ten seconds.

Upstairs resembles an academic library. The wall next to the stairs is a similar bank of windows as downstairs, although lacking the colourful posters, instead dotted with landscape paintings of previously visited worlds and unknown worlds both. Rows of shelves divide the space into six smaller workspaces, each with a single-person desk with lamp and bookstand and another window above, bracketed by shelves on either side. The bookshelves muffle sound, creating semi-private spaces around each desk.

The shelves are empty, with labels on each shelf indicating that non-fiction books belong up here.

We will not OOCly be tracking books being checked in and out. If a book is not being returned, please reply to that book's comment to let people know that it isn't available.

Please comment below with any books your character is registering with the library computers, using the following form, to either the fiction or non-fiction top level and under the correct genre or subsection with the book's title as the subject header:

[And then one that most assuredly does NOT:]

[And, for a throwback:]

History of World #7625000129523

Photobook of World #7625000129523

[He's just verifying that these are real; he may or may not be the one purchasing them later.]

Now that he *has* the history book...

[iamnotgod]

The Champions of Jhu

Separate searches:

[unfavorableinstigation]

Arc of Curiosity

World #891010003

[She'll have looked up the other numbers with Zelda, just for the research's own sake, but these are the two foremost on her mind.]

Re: SEARCHES

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Out of somewhere between idle curiosity and wanting to look something up for her sister, Nita tries:]

Re: SEARCHES

[iamnotgod]

[Remember all those books Webmind looked up but did not order?

He's going to look those up here, now.]

Re: SEARCHES

[iamnotgod]

Voidcraft: Memory

[Are there any books specifically about this craft? Is it still running? ... Can someone check its databanks and see if the Voidtrecker Express is in there somehow???

EDIT: If this is anything like the shop post, expect him to specify for the comic book and magazine options as well, in addition to fiction vs nonfiction.]

Re: SEARCHES

[iamnotgod]

Am okay with her not finding anything, but she's still gonna try:

Shoot, should have done this first but forgot this was here. Apologies! ;;;;

[controlsthedie]

[ In hopes of finding something that was related to what Anan referenced, Thanatos tries to search for:

system numbers

Given that Thanatos is still really new to technology like this, whatever title he gets, he'll purchase it from the train store soon after. (After he has read the book, he'll donate it to the library, so everyone can marvel at the horror of this classification system.) ]
