[Video/action] Wherein she visits the library

[She had heard rumors of this place, she was pretty sure that someone had even told her about it earlier, back when she was less acclimated to this undersea world. She had been walking, still growing used to being around a large group of people, when her nose had caught scent, of all things, paper; large quantities too. Having spoken to the librarian and finding out exactly the place was, she decides to call Signless in a bout of giddiness. Still not that adept with the comm, she manages to send it broadcast instead.]

[Disciples excited face appears in the video, clearly something very good has happened by the smile on her face. Finally finding words, she speaks.]

SIGNLESS! THIS PLACE HAS BOOKS! FOR FREE!

[She is immediately hushed by someone off-screen. Looking in direction of the voice she apologizes, but continues at a slightly quieter tone.]

They said I could borrow some to read, and then can return for more later! Isn't that amazing!?

[It's okay, Disciple. Minako is here to Listen.]

I wouldn't either, at the moment. Not when so many of my friends are here.

Thank you for telling me all of that, Disciple. So we don't really know what else we can do here, if anything, huh?

Not really, unfortunately. There is still many pieces to the puzzle missing, but at least now you know the score now and can react accordingly if something happens with the coral or those controlling it. My suggestion, try not to think about it and enjoy your time here. But on your guard for anything suspicious.

At the very least take solace in the fact that even if something terrible happens, the coral can fix you up, good as new. All it takes is five days if you die, then you reappear near the coral.

[Huh. That should be reassuring, but it's kind of creepy in several ways, too. Of course, her being here is proof that "dead" people -- or at least kind of dead people -- can return. There aren't, as far as she knows yet, anyone who's really, really dead here.

But given that, there's really no reason to doubt that there could be. And that means there's really no escaping voluntarily. It's just what it is. And if there are enemies, will they be brought back too...?]

That's amazing. It's not some kind of medical care...? Well, I guess it's not the only crazy thing around here.

In the meantime, I'll take your advice, Disciple.

[It terrified disciple every time she tried really thinking about it. Most of the time she tried not to dwell on it.]

It is strange yes. It seems the work of magic, but we know it to be science. Strange powers are at work here, in this place, it is at least beneficial.

Thank you. I hope I did not ruin the place for you. All things considered it is still tantamount to a paradise for me. Enjoy it, your time here. Maybe find time to do something you never thought you would back home. Books for me, I look forward to having the time to settle down and read.

You definitely didn't. The more I know, the better.

What kind of things do you like to read?

I guess I do not know. I look forward to finding out. I have had numerous suggestions. 'Mystery', 'Adventure' were suggested and my matesprit recommended something called the 'holy bible'. If you have anything you would suggest, I would love to hear it.

Eheh... Well, as far as I know, the Bible is pretty serious reading. Mystery and adventure not so much. Personally, I'd try a bunch of things and see what you like best.

I will do that, then. A little bit of everything to get the taste of this place. I look forward to it. I suppose I should get to it then. It was a pleasure speaking with you, Minako. If you have any more questions, or need a troll's insight, do not hesitate to call.

Thanks so much for telling me all of that, Disciple. I'll be sure to call in if I need anything else, but I owe you one already.
