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

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?

Acknowledged.

A common response to such news is apology: we are sorry.

(What they should be sorry for is how bad they are at this.)

I am sorry as well. Gladio was well-liked.

Yes.

(They allow themselves a moment of sadness.

Then:)


This topic is not relevant to our current task.

(It is distracting.)

...I suppose not.

[They did get a little off-track.]

An apothecary would be nice to have. Several of us can use magical healing, but it would be good to keep medicines on hand as well.

Yes.

(Their headflaps shift, and they chatter.)

Faust-Doctor has been interested in the acquisition of medically useful flora.

I'm afraid I don't know as much about that as I would like. Monsters do not take ill in the same way as humans - I know a few things, but mostly about types of plants I was already growing.

[It was more of a curiosity than a real application in his day, and then afterwards there were rarely any humans at all.]

In this situation, it is likely even the most basic knowledge would be of considerable value.

(Right now, the level of knowledge appears to be none.)

I suppose...some of the teas I have are good for sore throats or stomachs?

[None of his knowledge is likely to be life-saving, but you know, if we ever have a common cold event?]

Species of flora used to brew them?

(That's the most important bit.)

Chamomile, mint...perhaps bluescythe, though I have not been able to test that. It does seem similar to chamomile.
