Who: Henrietta and visitors
When: Day 62, Late Morning
Where: the library
What:

[well it looks like Henrietta has finally gotten around to the library...

The space itself is divided into two sections, the library proper—wall to wall bookcases, though, not with many books on them— and a long wooden table placed in the middle with wooden chairs spaced on either side.

Past the division, which appears to be the remnants of the stone wall, appears to be a study area. The back and right walls and are lined with two more long wooden tables. The southwest corner seems to be devoted to a couple of comfortable armchairs.

In on of these, Henrietta herself is draped across the arms, legs thrown over the side. Her pale blond hair is braided and pinned back in a coil and she looks... pleased?

So far none of the rain seems to have made it in, but really. How long is that going to last?]

((right now the only books on the shelves are ones written by the Thusian residents themselves! There is a rough list here. That will change in the future))

Finally something worth doing, huh. I wonder what 19th century works you know that I've forgotten...

All of them.

Yeah, but I mean I can't make requests if I don't remember what I should know. Though at least that means most of the stuff that goes on the shelf will be interesting and new for me.

It is gonna suck for me though. Maaaaan.

Not gonna lie, I pictured you just now like one of those monks who do illuminated manuscripts, locked in a room with a desk and a bunch of quils...

[shoulder punch]

No.

What, they were making works of art!

All alone and by themselves!

Aw, I'd help out. My calligraphy's not too bad.

Mine is. Bad.

'Cause you don't usually have to write things down, huh?

...yeaaahhhh.

[fluffs]

What were you actually planning to go with as far as making copies of stuff?

Aidan suggested we get a typewriter.

...If you know how to type on one, a computer's not that different, as far as writing up a document goes.

NO COMPUTERS.

. . . I realize you've only been exposed to them in traumatizing contexts, but it'd seriously be more convenient.

Unless Henrietta doesn't take digital files I guess.

You do it if its so great....

You wouldn't have to go to a god to get paper.

I don't mind it.

Or ink.

[swats at]

Ace.

Fine fine, I'll just get one for myself.

That's what you wanted in the first place.

Was not, it really is more economic than a typewriter. Though at least you can probably get all the materials from Kain.
