USER: #C1BA57 - THE LIBRARY

[unghost]

( 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.

Ah, so you don't know what it's like to lose someone important, then? I'm a little relieved, in that case. I hope it's something you won't experience- it's not a very pleasant thing.

That said, I'm sure we'll find a way to get us home, so that won't be a problem.

[unghost]

Well
Gems get abducted from time to time so I've witnessed that
But it's not like the gems I've seen get taken away were my children or had a definite lifespan or something
So it's a different kind of loss

Either way I think we'll leave eventually I just don't know how long it's going to take

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

...Abducted??? By who?

[unghost]

We call them Lunarians
They're a species that lives on our moon

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ Ah, yes of course. The moon people that kidnap the sentient gem people. Why didn't he think of that? Literally what the fuck... ]

I'm so sorry. That must be terrible.

[unghost]

[ They're not the type to wallow or look for pity, so they'll just...move on. The less they think about the other gems and Lunarians while they're here, the better. ]

You said its pretty dangerous where you live too
So we all have things we are facing
It's just the way things are

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Well, sure, but the dangers there are things that we are able to predict and the things that happen have names attached to them.

Here is nothing like that. Everything is unknown and we are given scraps as a means of answers.

[unghost]

I guess that's true
But we can't expect to know everything after just over a month of time
It hasn't been nearly long enough to know if there's a pattern to
Whatever it is that's happening
At the rate things are going I won't be surprised if it takes a year to know anything substantial

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

While I am curious about this place, I'm more interested in a way home than finding out more about it. I don't want to be stuck here a whole year...

[unghost]

Is there anything likeable about this place?
Of course finding a way back is preferable
Realistically I don't see it happening soon is all
I don't think it will take centuries but definitely some stretch of time

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Nothing worth noting, though it could also be much worse, I suppose.

And certainly it will, but one should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
