Characters: Tim Drake and YOU (yes, you)
Setting: Library
Format: Brackets but feel free to use prose.
Summary: Newbie having something like a quiet mental breakdown in the library. Approach him during any part of his information gathering.
Warnings: None.


[As soon as Tim had arrived in the tower, he was determined to find out why he was brought here. Sorry, but he's not buying anything about his world being destroyed. He's helped save it far too many times to accept that.

So, the only logical place to go (besides interrogating various workers and other kidnapped people) is the library. Unfortunately, there was no section on the history of this place or even other worlds, so now Tim is striding quickly through the aisles of bookshelves, pulling books down at random to hold in his arms. That's not all of them, though -- just outside one of the aisles is a group of stacked books, unnecessarily high, where Tim is dumping them all.

Eventually, he sits cross-legged in the middle of all the stacks and starts to flip through the books at speed, skimming them for information. He doesn't particularly care if he looks odd; it seems like a good portion of the people here are just as curious about this place as he is.

As he reaches the end of a rather thick encyclopedia, he discards it a bit roughly and groans to himself.]

Oh, come on, there has to be something useful hidden in one of these books.

Many of the newcomers find there way to the library for research or to find the computers in order to reach out to the other inhabitants of the tower and hopefully fellow companions. It's a noticeable trend and I often find people I have not previously seen before in here.

So this is pretty much a newbie hotspot? I'll keep that in mind.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's a good spot to inform them of where they are and what the situation is. Although there is also a post on the network that also covers a lot of that.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

Right. I think I've seen that. People here are very helpful.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Perhaps more helpful out of necessity rather than as a character trait. It is much easier to cohabitate with those who are not in a panic.

I'd like to think I'm not panicking. [Yet.]

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

You are rather calm, it is a nice change.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

I try.

Well please, keep trying,
