..A forgotten library....
*Amidst the many alleyways and side-streets, an unusually large facility lay hidden among the small residential area.
The library never had much customers and more often than not, no one was there..
..Still, their collection of books were far more impressive than one might think...*
*Sitting on a small table hidden between the bookshelves, Robin thumbed through several books, categorizing certain books he had picked up into a specific reading order*
...This was a hell of find..
...some of the books here are certainly going to be useful....
*ken appears*
Hmm......this place may have some........extra material!
Hello there Robin!
*suddenly appears* huh...neat...*starts looking for magic books*
*ken also starts looking for magic books*
Star, I heard that Petit Albert was in here. I'll race you to find it *ken grins and begins searching more quickly*
*Seeing Ken, Robin gives a casual wave*
..I believe the magical based books are on the second floor..
What? What the hell is that? Is that a grimoire?
Yes, as well as practical household tips it included spells to catch fish, charms for healing, and instructions on how to make a Hand of Glory, which would render one invisible. It would be dangerous to let one of the others get to it. But if you find it first can i look over it when you are done?
*Poofs in* huh. Neat. I guess I'll look around. *starts looking through the shelves*
*ken rushes to the second floor*
Sure. Infact, I think this is it. *Holds it up* it was put away in the wrong section.
*enters the library and starts to looking for books that will help me find someone*
Make sure it is not a fake, I doubt they would hide such a powerful grimoire in plain open like that, maybe a basement level?
*Seeing something in his stack, Robin threw it into the air towards Star*
..This might be useful to you..
..It's an untranslated copy of some old tome from the Arthurian Era...
..Probably from Merlin now that I think about it...
Magic books, huh. Might as well check it out. *goes upstairs*
*catches the book with magic* thanks. And yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it. Hiding things in plain sight is useful sometimes.
*ken picks up a book named The Magus*
I found another Grimoire! That's all I wanted anyway...
*Casually thumbing through the various books before him, Robin smiled as he started looking through it, digesting as much as he could*
...Some of this information may certainly be old but at least it might be helpful...
Welp, I got what I wanted. Time to start working on my next weapon! To my shrine and forge! *Suddenly disappears*
*ken put his hand on the book, all the information inside is absorbed and he passes the book to Robin*
This one is good for demonology, hope you like it
*Standing up, Robin frowned as he read an out of place registry book*
...That's strange....
..According to the library registry...the last customer to have been here was two years ago...
..so...
*Robin glanced over to the desk, a little curious*
....How is this place still open...?
Probably owned by some rich folk Robin
*Robin shook his head*
..The last owners died five years ago...
..Who is keeping this place up..?
..or more importantly...
...Why....?
*Wearily eyeing the counter, Robin reached for his holstered match-lock pistol*
...The company listed for the ownership of this place...
...It's a private research organisation...
That organisation...wouldn't have something like this randomly here....
I am not allowed to tell you the answer, but I'll stick around for the ride! *ken's arm morphs into a metal blade*
so your saying theirs a hidden part of this library
*Robin nodded*
...This can't just be a simple library...
..Not one filled with old text anyway..
..There must be something here if that research company is willing to keep it up..regardless if it doesn't earn them any money...
hmmmm their must be a hidden lever, or book, or something
Whatever it is, I will help you look, not got anything else to do anyway!
*Looking down at the registry, Robin pondered for a moment*
...On the last few registered people to come in besides me...
..There's something suspicious...
..There is a recorded person visiting regularly during Friday and Sunday..
..although whoever it is, they just left their name registered as WYR...
Would You Rather.? *kens face lights up with excitement, his blade arm shifting back into normal as he summons an apple and begins to eat*
...Hmm...
..I figured it could be a reference to a book or shelf...even a category folder in the counter...
What do you guys think...?
Row w, that should be on the second floor
*ken begins to move up*
Perhaps it means row w, and a book with initials y.r?
*looks around, looking for anything*
...Ken might be onto something..
Look for books that begin with W with author initials being Y.R.
..I'm going to go look through the counter, see if there is any files nearby...
*ken shouts* I got a bok on row W by Yitzchak Reines, wanna see *he throws the book to robin*
*Catching the book, Robin takes a quick skim, smirking as he sees a highlighted portion.*
..We might have something.
The book is untouched except for two highlighted words.
Oak....and structure....
..huh...
*ken begins to search for any oak structures*
*Contemplating for a moment, Robin looked over to the counter before smiling*
..Oak... and structure...
*Moving swiftly over there, Robin pried open the small cabinet, feeling around inside of it for any kind of deformities*
Oh, nice idea *ken notices Robin's actions and looks over*
Ahah!
*Robin pries away a small piece of wood, revealing a secret compartment.
Reaching down, Robin smiles before handing the discovered object to Ken*
..It's a key..
..there must be a hidden room here somewhere..
There was a locked door in the back there *ken points* It's on the floor, leads to a basement level I think
*ken moves over to the back and *hands the key to robin* Would you like to do the honors?
*Robin shrugged before plunging the key in and turning it, the soft clack echoing as the door unlocked*
....it...it opened...
*walks in* hello? where is this place?
Well.....I didn't expect it to be that easy.....*ken does not look surprised however, he is merely acing*
*Hibki walks in* Hey Dahlia. Are you looking for any suggestions on what to read?
hey Dahlia, just at a library, no idea what we are doing! *ken smiles at her, but his eyes are distrustful and pierce her*
Hibki *ken laughs and put's his arm around his frend*
Lemme tell you I found some awesome shit in this place,
I'm not here for anything related to Gods or Demons. I'm only here to get a regular book and enjoy something normal for once.
Oh hi Hibiki. i was thinking of looking for some tomes to improve my understanding of magic.
Awwww, oh well *ken genuinely smiles at Hibki*
Found some good stuff over there *he points to row D*
Second floor is all magic though
I can't help with that. Sorry. *He scratches the back of his head* My is taste in books is mostly young adult romance novels.
Oh hey, we've just discovered something about this place...
*ken sighs* Oh well....I guess we all have our faults. Over on row J.
Ah, i understand. *walks up to the second floor to look*
*ken walks back over to Robin* So, what have we got down here
*Robin shrugged before walking in, completely disappearing into the dark depths of the descending basement.
Scarily...within a few seconds...the sounds of his footsteps had completely disappeared*
*ken teleport down to Robins location and walks with him*
*Robin is nowhere to be seen*
Robin.....hey......HEY! *ken searches around, summoning a giant sword*
*ken is still searching....*
OOC: back
*ken find's robin on the floor?*
Robin, are you ok?
*finds a book on fire magic* this should help...
*ken sets all tho tomes on fire and steals all the grimoires*
