USER: #C1BA57 - THE LIBRARY
( COLOR )
This is Cairngorm.
I've noticed that books have writing in them again, which means the library should be back to it's original form. It'll be more useful to everyone if it's organized and has librarians in charge of maintaining it. I'm used to doing work like that, so I don't mind organizing it, but it might be more time efficient to ask if there are others with the skills to help.
Firstly, we should familiarize ourselves with the restored materials. I've only been able to find useless books about talking animals so far, but one of you must have found something other than that by now. It would take years for me to read everything by myself, so if you could summarize any books you've found and return them to the library, you would save us all some time.
Secondly, has anyone considered keeping record of what's happening here? We should start creating archives for future reference now that we're able to. That's assuming we'll be stuck here for however much longer. There are other things like records of the plants and animals we come across that the library would benefit from as well, if you have any. We should be keeping all information like this in one place.
If you have other things in mind the library should have, or are familiar with any of the texts you find, let me know. I'd like to start working on this as soon as possible.

It's not exactly a record, but I've been working on a bestiary for the forum. I could transcribe the information into a physical book with drawings, if you think that would be useful, too?
no subject
Since I don't know much about technology, I'm not sure how reliable keeping the information on the computers is. I would make a physical copy if I were you. But there are probably other individuals like me who have never seen any animals like the ones here, so the drawings would be necessary... are you sure thats something you are capable of
no subject
Sure it is. When I keep notes back home, I usually have sketches for references, too. I can draw a rough idea of what these creatures look like, going off descriptions I get from other people.
no subject
We don't have anything like the animals here on my planet so I thought the animals here were
Some degree of normal
Despite looking so awful
Are you familiar with most of the animals they seem to be related to
no subject
The animals here look similar to the ones I've seen in my world, but some of them have extra limbs or other traits that they didn't before. Like wings or sharp teeth.
no subject
But below 1,000 is still considered pretty youthful or at least not a grown up
So 16 years to me is almost nothing
Like mutations?
I guess they evolved to be like this for some reason
no subject
Yeah, mutations. Maybe it's their way of dealing with all the weird stuff in the forest?
no subject
I can't tell since all the ones I've met are within a decade of each other
I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.
But it's also possible that a natural disaster before the civilization here was built caused them to evolve that way
That's what happened to the life on my planet
no subject
What do you mean, about your planet? What happened?
no subject
But that's still so short...
Most life was wiped out on our planet thousands of years ago because of a meteor
It's mostly water now, so whatever survived had to flee into the ocean.
That's what I meant by adapting
no subject
Thousands of years ago... so that means the gems were around when it happened, right? I guess it'd make sense that the rest of the animals would have to adapt after a disaster like the one you described.
By the way, if you're in the library now, I could head over soon! Maybe we could swap stories while we're organizing. I'd love to hear more about gem life, and you can ask more questions about humans, too!
