The Biblioplex wasn't as impressive as they made it sound. What a disappointment.

[......]

Anyway. Which of you are capable? I need assistance looking into [...] something.

I can pay you, I suppose. But only after a successful venture.

Goats need not apply.

Disappointment?

[helmineblackwater]

Don't misunderstand. It's serviceable. But I expected to be blown away or rendered speechless from awe the way people talk about it.

What did you think?

[vergrace]

what's wrong with goats?

[helmineblackwater]

No manners.

[unluckycosmos]

Nothing!!! She's just biased against them for no reason at all.

[hexslinger]

i'm capable and listening...

[helmineblackwater]

Capable how?

[quickwitted]

How much are you paying?

[helmineblackwater]

Negotiable.

How capable are you?

[spurlark]

Oh, I'm capable of a lot of things.

[helmineblackwater]

You have my attention.

Care to elaborate?

[unluckycosmos]

I've heard that some goats can be very valuable and helpful for looking in to all sorts of things.

[helmineblackwater]

I think you've been misinformed.

Biblioplex Explorers!

[helmineblackwater]

So. That something I need assistance with.

When we were touring the Biblioplex, I got [...] turned around and I couldn't find my way back. And I have never gotten lost in a library in my life. But more importantly, there was definitely something following me. Dean Lu was acting ominous and cagey and condescending about it afterward. Since she doesn't feel inclined to be direct, I'd like us to look into it ourselves.

Can you all meet this evening?

Biblioplex Explorers!

[spurlark]

Cool, where are we meeting?

Biblioplex Explorers!

[quickwitted]

What do y Is it a good idea to Well, it's not a normal library.

Biblioplex Explorers!

[pepromancy]

We'll need supplies. Lights. Weapons. I don't want a book creature catching me off-guard.

Biblioplex Explorers!

you know, this might not be related, but there are secret passageways all throughout the school. i marked the hollow spots in the walls with lipstick, but i couldn't find a switch to open any of them. since we're sharing School Mysteries, here's mine.

[claypool]

what was it MISSING?

[quickwitted]

Not enough books, obviously.

[helmineblackwater]

It's not missing any one specific aspect. But given how people rave about it, I expected something grander.

[sanguinario]

What's your definition of a "successful venture"?

Velvet/Adrian

[profundity]

Be careful. All these other people she's recruiting seem like idiots.

[helmineblackwater]

A satisfying amount of knowledge gained with minimal collateral damage?

[yrsa]

but the food was good
& i'm very capable

[helmineblackwater]

You think so? Perhaps I chose the wrong option.

Exceptionally capable, of course! [...] And keen to assist?
