Visiting the Local Library

[Otto Schneider]

At this rate, I may have to consider just buying a computer. Loathe as he was to admit it, Otto Schneider was behind the times. It had taken him longer than most of his peers in Clan Ventrue to embrace smartphone technology, and even that was only because the outdated flip-phone he had stubbornly held on to for years had finally broken down. But he had somehow managed to avoid investing in a personal computer. He had rationalized the decision as both needlessly expensive (even though he could comfortably afford one designed purely for business) and redundant. After all, his associates had hounded him for years about how modern phones were basically handheld computers.

And yet he found himself at the entrance to the Sacramento State University library again, in part to use their computers. When he had visited the same location months ago, it had primarily been to consult whatever books there were about local legends and folklore. Now he was trying to check social media accounts and consult public records in the hopes of gaining insight into the ghost haunting the local park. At least a home computer and printer would allow him to do this kind of research within the peace of his own Haven...

Determined not to let his grousing distract him from his investigation, the Priscus focused on recalling as much relevant information about the deceased as he could manage. With his mind on the task at hand, he pushed open the door, offered a brief nod towards whoever was at the front desk, and started towards the nearest unclaimed computer. If they wanted to stop him, he would attempt to gently persuade them otherwise before proceeding.

There was a bank of computers in a central area of the library. These computers are within ten feet of the librarian's workspace. The work space is an enclosed counter area with inset desks for the librarians to work.

There are three open computers. Two young students are quietly typing on the two outside computers.

Otto will need to make the relevant rolls, this affects information gathered

Relieved that he was not being accosted by any of the library staff, Otto settled in at the nearest unused computer and started searching. If there was one benefit to the gradual erosion of privacy in the modern age of technology, it was that it was easier than ever to try to find someone on the internet. Now, how many people named 'Alaric' could there actually be?
