social experiment #2

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

Characters: Ienzo and YOU!
Setting: Floor 19, aka The Creepy Library.
Format: Either one. I'll follow you.
Summary: Ienzo rather likes this new library, save for the minor issue of HALF THE BOOKS BEING MISSING. He is not standing for this.
Warnings: None, so far.



Well, Tower, there’s a new library!

Now take a wild guess who’s the first one in it.

Yup, anyone who sets foot in the library will likely fiend Ienzo already traipsing around. Perhaps ‘traipsing’ is not the right word, though — he’s moving clearly as if he has an intent in mind, the intent being finding where all of the other books went. He doesn’t terribly care if this library is much more ominous and threatening in its ambiance, of course, though someone else might. So who knows? A small creature with a grave expression and a swooshy white coat might appear just slightly unnerving in this half-lit and half-stocked library.

"...No, it isn't."

He stopped in his quest and turned around, to be faced with a woman he had not seen before. She was trying to smile at him, it seemed, but was clearly (to him, anyhow) unsure in her demeanor. Perhaps something about a dark half-filled library was 'scary' to her. ...Eh. Not his problem. He paused there for a moment, before offering an explanation for himself.

"...I was searching for the missing books..." he explained. "...Perhaps... someone misplaced them."

At least he didn't judge her for that, because thinking about it, that was a terrible joke (and she's never been that funny). However, at least they seem to be thinking on the same wavelength for the bigger picture.

"I was wondering about them too. Whether or not they've been hidden, or taken away completely, as to hide information from us."

Well, Vietnam, it probably was a terrible joke. (So bad, in fact, that the mun doesn't quite get it -- or perhaps that's because the mun is an astronomical derp.) He wouldn't know much about jokes though. Moving on to the subject that actually holds some relevance to the situation at hand.

Now that he thought about it, the possibility of withholding information like this seemed more than plausible, especially considering the tower owners' track record. "...They've taken away all relevant information from the other library... and the shelves haven't been thinned like this." He, and others, have checked the library extensively and come up with zilch. "...Perhaps it was a mistake fixed in a rush?"

Nope nope, it's totally not our mun's faults, it's just her inexperience in socialising!

Vietnam looked around the shelves again, eying beneath them. There were no boxes that she could see, then again, those in charge wouldn't make it easy for them.

"Perhaps, it did only just appear. If the books do not appear in the next few days, however, then we're going to have to look away from the shelves. I wonder, if they have anywhere for storage around here too?"

"Floors appear out of nowhere," he pointed out. "They are still 'building the tower'. They could have easily built some kind of information storage facility that was out of our reach." He walked over to one of the shelves, inspecting the books on either side of the gaps. "Though... if the information we need is there... it may be impossible for us to find it..."

He's talking much more than normal now. Perhaps because this is a matter that actually demands words.

"That's also possible..." Vietnam tapped her chin before looking at him again. "Well, they say one tower is completed, I suppose we must wait till another. Meanwhile--"

She took out her notebook, still incomplete, with only various information she gathered from observation and brainstorming with Castiel. "--I've been trying to take notes, a set of information compiled by us. Right now there's probably not a lot compared to what this tower could possibly be hiding."

“…They said that the first block of the tower was completed,” he pointed out. It was entirely possible that they were just going to add more floors to the ones that they had made already — was the tower divided into ‘blocks’? Would there be more dormitories and cafeterias? These were all questions he had asked himself earlier, when he first heard the announcement. Never had it occurred to him that they might be building a second Tower; though now that he thought of it, it suddenly seemed very plausible.

He was snapped back to attention when Vietnam pulled out her notebook, and introduced it as her notes. He had a similar setup, though it was currently in his dormitory. He knew from the Network that someone had been making notes, but their text had been an unusual style and color, so he had assumed it was one of those trolls. “…I have been taking notes on this tower as well,” he said, quietly. “…Perhaps… we should compile our information soon.”
