[ a drop of blood? a single drop for the door? tch. cheap ... but fine the door swings open. Once you are all inside, it swings closed behind you ... and then ominously locks.

Welcome to the library! Yay! Learning!

Rows and rows of books are in front of you, tomes of all types and descriptions on expansive shelves. it goes so far you canโ€™t see the end of it, and everything seems settled with a heavy layer of dust. To the left is a desk, scattered with a few things on the top of it and a little nameplate that says LIBRARIAN, but the seat is empty for the moment.

There is a heavy, dull silence in the air. The silence of a baited breath, the space between the tick and the tock of a clock. the silence of a prey animal, eyes fixed upon the tall grass. waiting.

A sign is posted on the side of one of the shelves in front of you. An arrow pointing left says FILING. An arrow pointing right says RARE BOOKS. A hand-written note below the signposting says

โ€˜Return books promptly to their PROPER SHELVES
All new artifacts must be taken first to FILING for designation
do not remove RARE BOOKS from their section it upsets THE LIBRARIAN
please BE QUIET in the library
