The Magic Library

Haunted: There are ghosts in the stacks, and they are definitely disturbing the other patrons.
Way into this book: No, literally--you are now in this book. Maybe it's the Great American Novel or maybe it's a suspense thriller. Whatever the plot, the only way out is to see it to the end.
The characters are so real...! and in front of you, demanding your attention. That could be the other person in the thread! Or it could be frickin' Sauron.
Dynamic Dewey Decimal: The shelves in here are curiously mobile. Whether you see it happening or not, it's soon obvious that the place has become a maze--and you're in the middle.
Forbidden section: Every good magical library has one. Eldritch runes, lurking curses, a necromancer who's been waiting for someone to read him back to life--it's all in here, waiting to be uncovered.
Magic for Dummies: Ever wanted to learn magic? Great! There's a bunch of easy how-to books right here! They're a little light on safety precautions, though....
Sir you need a library card for that: You work here and you're trying to deal with an unruly patron... and the library is still magic. This is the most harrowing prompt on the list.
Magic library? Really? Somehow, you are having a completely normal-ass time in here. That's remarkable in of itself.
Wildcard!

[She's already got some experience with one of these.]

[Any prompt is good!]

Hellooooo? Anybody in here? [Wait that's probably not the right thing to call out right now, Prompto's seen way too many of those see-through nasties in this place to not tack on:] anybody ALIVE in here? Waaaait a sec...

[Seeing a slight figure, one definitly not fading in and out of view like that some scary specter, Prompto runs up and gives a friendly fingerwave as he bounces to a stop.]

Hey kid PLEASE tell me you're not dead!

[A library full of ghosts is not what Fuu was hoping for today--admittedly, she wouldn't even have thought of it as a thing not to hope for--and she is really hoping she can find a good book on folklore before she makes a fatal blunder if one of them is an onryou or something similarly terrifying.

But before she can do that, she hears something quite welcome: the voice of a living human. Even so, Fuu instinctively ducks below a bookshelf, watching him over the top of some old encyclopedias to ensure that he stays solid and opaque... no, he looks alive.]

No, I haven't died yet. [In spite of the situation, and his being older than her--on the cusp of adulthood, at least--she still smiles serenely as she says it.] You look as though you're alive too, sir.

Whew that’s a relief and yep, I’m as alive as they come!

[He beams with a large smile to put her at ease and gives her a peace sign as if that proves his living status.]

You miiight wanna put a pin in the whole ‘not dead yet’ thing. We don’t wanna jinx it right? Now.

[He swings his arms to let loose some of the anxious energy and looks at her skeptically.]

So I’m lost and you look like YOU’RE not freaking out with the whole ghostie thing. What’s up with that?

[honestly aesthetic but deeply genuinely nerdy library dates with ~~amora~~theo bell~~ ~~actual belle??~~ whoever @ asap svp tyty~~]

[Haunted research fun times? Haunted research fun times.]

[Miku will never be lucky enough for a normal time in such a place so no #8 please.]

[Any prompt is good! Bonus points for Eldritch nonsense on the side though.]

(OoC: Booooooooooooks. Human or alicorn! Any prompt is good!)

[Any prompt is cool!]

[ He loves books ok...deeply into 2 (would love to pick a book important to one or both of our chars), but down for anything aside from 8. ]

[Any prompt! Though 5 speaks especially to this private detective.]

[ Can't read... but loffs bedtime stories. ]

[These all seem fun. Bring it on!]

[BOOKS...AND MAGICAL BOOKS, CALEB WOULD LIVE HERE.]

[It's like being in a dream. Don't mind Hob, casually walking along, hands behind his back, leaning in to glance over book titles here and there. Let's face it, he has such a fascination of people, histories and life that any form of magic or not library would be interesting and he'd spend at least one human life time just living here. Please come chat with him. All options open.]

[Probably here for research/investigation reasons. He ends up all kinds of places, strange and unusual sometimes, with his types of cases. Any prompt is good.]

Here at one of the reading tables is a girl, perhaps nineteen, in a simple Regency dress, glaring at a book like it's done her a personal insult. As someone passes, she puts it down with a huff and rubs her eyes.

"Bloody hell. Why've all these toff magicians got to use words with fourteen bloody letters in them when the little ones would of worked just as well?"

She looks at the passerby and sighs. "Can you read? Do you know what this word is?"

(It's quotidian, unless you want to come up with something funnier!)

[ So, pretty much Patchy's natural habitat. ]

[ 1, 2, or 5 sound great! ]

[ Every now and then he researches what current forms of magic are in use.]
