i'm looking for an easy thing [ OPEN MINGLE ]

[hyperlit]

Who: Anyone and everyone! Who wants to look at books?
What: BOOKVALANCHE
When: Let's say from the 25th and onward for simplicity
Where: The Storyteller's Temple, in addition to the library that's finally getting some much-needed attention
Warnings: Mark anything that comes up!



The library is finally getting some renovations! Between some new bookshelves (hope someone here is good at hauling) and a veritable cascade of all sorts of books and supplies, an awful lot needs to be transferred from the Temple to the heretofore unused library, and any help anyone has to offer is much appreciated!

But, of course, there's also so very much to go through for your own perusal. Just look at all this! Coloring books, puzzle books, stories of all sorts, comic books, fashion magazines, all sorts of survival texts...you name it.

This all needs to be put away and stored in those neat little waterproofing book protectors - shelves need to be moved, supplies need to be secured, and someone should probably take inventory. But also...there's a lot of fresh new reading material on an island that previously had none.

Isn't that worth looking over?

Comments

[hyperlit]

[The Drifter blinks once as they glance up at the approach. If the interruption disturbs them, it does not show; their focus is always singular and often to its own detriment, and so they would have just as easily startled upon being approached at all.]

[But they do not quite understand the sentiment. Plenty of people contributed to this end result.]

?

[forwearemany]

You were responsible for coordinating the efforts that made acquisition of a library and accompanying resources possible.

(And Legion apparently feels they deserve to be thanked for that.)

[hyperlit]

many others contributed

[Besides, the Drifter certainly isn't helping with the effort of getting everything into place. They've apparently decided that their work here is more or less done, with the acquisition of supplies.]

[forwearemany]

Yes.

(They are aware: they were one of those others.

And yet, here they are, thanking the Drifter.)

[hyperlit]

[They're uncertain as to why this merits gratitude. They blink once in consideration before they nod, once, in a polite acknowledgment that is easiest to stomach.]

can store history here

[Geth history, if Legion wanted to.]

[To ensure their people are never forgotten.]

[forwearemany]

Yes.

(Their headflaps ripple, and they glance at the library and the people currently helping to set it up.

The organics here are kind. They would like to share their history with them.)

[hyperlit]

still have stored data
can write down if needed

[The history that Legion gave them, that is.]

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged. Assistance is not necessary, though it would be appreciated.

(They remember everything perfectly. They have patience. And yet, the task remains ... daunting.

They suspect that this has nothing to do with the time, effort, or resources that would be required.)

[hyperlit]

[The Drifter considers that for a moment before their sprite chirps softly, spitting up a secondary HUD that contains more of the map blueprints they've been copying over to paper.]

only say when

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

(They are both busy currently.

Perhaps later, when neither of them has a task to accomplish.)

(Speaking of, Legion looks at the sprite, and then the paper, head tilting.)

Maps?

[hyperlit]

yes

[The Drifter is not the best at splitting their attention, but thus far, they're managing it. Text flicks up as they refocus on sharpening the lines of one coast.]

for public record

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(A good idea, they think.

It appears that the Drifter is mapping more than just Enso.

They wonder how much use these maps will see.)

[hyperlit]

[The Drifter nods once, and returns to their work with apparently singular focus. Nothing against you personally, Legion, but if you don't make a sustained effort to continue the conversation, they're going to consider it over and done with.]

[forwearemany]

(And they're actually fine with that, and are going to go back to work.

They can converse more later, when neither of them is busy.)
