I'm aware that there are a handful of us who seems to enjoy books, so I'm offering up the idea of forming a book club of sorts.

At least that way, we can get together and discuss books - or even spells we've happened to come across. While learning Borderlines is important, I think these spells can be useful to know at least, even though actually applying them may take a little longer to figure out.

Another thing I'd like to ask is if who'd be willing to help out in organizing the library. It's a mess and I'm surprised that no one's made an effort - that I know of, anyway - to clean it up. It can take forever, but we might be able to find something that can come in handy in all of that mess.

If anybody needs to find me to discuss this in person, I'm currently at the library right now.

Doesn't seem to help in the long run then.

I'm trying to be optimistic here. Can't let something like this get me down.

[revolutionfalcon]

Not really. And with how old the myths are, we can't guarantee they apply to the current incarnations either.

Usually when I try to be optimistic, it's misplaced. I'm not holding my breath.

[lostinshadows]

It doesn't help either that myths can be rewritten and so the original source can become lost.

Never hurts to try, but to each their own.

[revolutionfalcon]

That as well. And there's obviously always going to be the marks of whoever wrote them changing the recount of events.

I'm not saying not to try, I'm just saying it's less likely to work than it is not to.

[Shun's words has Lavi thinking for a moment, and since he's spent a lot of time at the library already--]

This may be sudden, but how often do you go to the library?

[revolutionfalcon]

Depends what else I'm doing. It's what I do when I have nothing else to fill my time, so no more than a few hours a week scattered over a few days, unless it's particularly quiet or I go there late.

[Lavi doesn't answer right away.

He doesn't know Shun, but if the god has been there enough, then maybe he would know. Or not. But it'd be good to try.]

[lostinshadows]

Have you ever come across a small, locked room in the library?

[revolutionfalcon]

[Given Shun likes to know areas he spends any decent amount of time in, the answer comes fairly promptly.]

Once or twice. No idea what's in it, or how to get in.

[lostinshadows]

Shame. I've tried myself, but while I couldn't get it, I was able to hear some shuffling of paper from inside of it.

[revolutionfalcon]

If it's some kind of librarian's office, clearly they're not doing their damn job.

[lostinshadows]

Clearly; otherwise, I wouldn't have posted this message in the first place.

[revolutionfalcon]

It raises the question of what they are doing, though.

[lostinshadows]

I'd say doing their job, but that's a least likely possibility. Breaking down the door doesn't seem like a very plausible option.

[revolutionfalcon]

If their job is keeping records or something, maybe, because we've already established that it's definitely not maintaining the library. And I doubt a door in the Heavens would go down just to normal methods of breaking in.

[lostinshadows]

Probably not, but it definitely continues to raise more questions than answers. If it's keeping records, then perhaps keeping records of everything that's been going on in the Far Shore?

[revolutionfalcon]

Maybe. If it was something like that, it could be a useful source of information, but that just makes it less likely we'd be able to access it.

[lostinshadows]

Suppose we can only hope for the best at this rate then.

[revolutionfalcon]

Knowing this place, the best still isn't going to be good.
