Sacramento Public Library

[Martha Villiers]

The air conditioned Library held an unnatural cool and the atmosphere here was alive with the gentle tip-tap of keyboards and filled with the heavy glare of overhead fluorescent lamps.

Several bored librarians were quietly chatting near a fire extinguisher and two students seemed to be hunched over copies of books on organic chemistry.

Meanwhile, tiny Martha was amusing herself in the middle of a Patrol by taking in the latest events listings at the Sacramento Public Library.

Studying the 'What's on' events in the main reading area of the Library, the small creature leaned on her cane and smiled.

Seeming youthful, sweet and innocent, petite Martha knocks politely on the door.

-1 Vitae for Blush of Life

Martha is meekly and sweetly attired in an English school uniform: a black 'summer pattern' felt broad brimmed cap of the Edwardian English school fashion and of the traditional summer design...an embroidered cap badge seems to be of some heraldic crest and is matched by that of the embroidered badge on her neat black blazer. A pair of scholarly wire-framed spectacles are perched on the end of her nose.

Her long black gymslip which shows one slim leg and its kneesock to mid calf. Her ebony black hair is tied into two long neat twin tails. Each twin tail is tied with a large black silken ribbon bow. Her left leg is her usual above the knee C-Leg prosthesis. A crisp white blouse is obvious where the gymslip reveals it, as is her red necktie which is tucked neatly into her gymslip. Carefully polished black Mary Jane shoes complete her very neat presentation.

Having made her inspection of the What's On listings, she turns her attention to the rest of the room...afterall, who, or what!, you may see or encounter in such a place so late at night...

It was the gaggle of children that caught her attention at first. Being a Creature of the Night she rarely saw the very young in real life.

Their nose and activity was much greater than she'd expected and it took a few moments for her to unravel Nami's scent from amongst the other scents in the mess.

It was as she was about to offer Kiko a wave of recognition that Luke made his presence known. His Beast caused her to rub hard at her crippled hip and thigh and offer a nod.

Gripping tighter to her cane she offered a smile, "Good evening, sir! A pleasant surprise to see you too, sir! I come in search of knowledge! I do hope you are well!" she asked with obvious and increasingly jollity.

The noise of the children and the suddenness of pain in her thigh didn't dampen her smile for too long...

[Dominyk Prise]

Dominyk supposed that his push last year for the Library to remain open beyond 9pm was actually being beneficial, especially with the college parents that would bring their kids to do some form of reading, but that was all Miss Nami’s doing. After all she was the one that worked best with children, and the storytimes were working significantly better than he could have ever hoped.

Dominyk the Writer and Librarian had his own duties around the building, ones that required him to remain hidden, and as a winter that was his own clue itself.

However, he was still tall and he still had the lingering scent of chocolate that followed him around day to day. Of course, he did draw more pull about him in general.

He was, of course, putting books away somewhere relatively close by, after all the building wasn’t something that stayed open too late when college had only just started. The night shifts would normally be this long later on in the semester but at the moment this was something of an anomaly, after all Sacramento wasn’t Hollywood or Los Angeles.

People actually slept here.

If Chrisie is willing to let this go to Dice Rolled, powers used Crossvenue instead of a simple no-reveal, no powers crossvenue I’d like to use my Kenning ability on Dominyk to detect Luke and his Use of Obfuscate.

Kenning: Lost with high Clarity ratings (6 or greater) are able to detect the presence of supernatural creatures (fae or otherwise) around them.

Success: Each success reveals the presence of one nearby supernatural being, item or magical effect, assuming there are any present to detect. this will not allow the changeling to detect anything that is being actively concealed with some form of magic -- Contracts are reqired for something like that -- but it will allow the changeling to spot supernatural individuals even if they are not engaged in any unusual activity at the time.

Otherwise I would like to request an examination at Luke’s disappearnce

[Chrisie]

The ramifications of this are huge. It needs careful thought. I'm therefore pausing the thread to reflect on matters. I thank you all for your co-operation in this matter. ~Chrisie~

[Chrisie]

Luke Caldon ~ please take note @Dominyk may thereby elect to adjust his entry to the thread above with much less dread than he approached it before.

Such are the benefits of 'Sliding Doors.' This is not a course of action I wish to take often but felt the need to avoid the potential for unforeseen and unwarranted unhappiness outweighed the usual sanctity of PC's actions. I believe this is what they call a Mulligan. ~Chrisie~ Please...continue one and all...

Azure had yet to explore this particular library in the months she'd been here, which was a tragic and bizarre circumstance given she was such a bookworm she turned her spare room into a private library of her own. But things were busy.

Today, however, or rather tonight, she'd found free time and endeavored to investigate. And she'd be damned if fortune didn't love to toy with this Enchantress' head.

The excited noise that tried to escape her mouth was cut short due to library manners - she was certainly in control of herself enough to not cause a scene. But a bit of a squeak did sound in the air as she recognized a very familiar author, and someone she'd had perhaps a strange dream about or two. The sorts of dreams that made her blush, pause, and make sure she was fully composed before she devised the proper means to introduce herself and not seem like a deranged fangirl, even if that were a bit true.

Walking slowly up to Dominyk, she attempts to get his attention with a gentle wave of her hand. "Hello, uhm, excuse me, may I ask you a question?"
