[Video Post 1] It would be so nice if something made sense for a change

[Despite the Head Librarian's warnings, Steve had been exploring alone. Not the wisest decision but he didn't want anyone to get hurt while he was trying to get a general idea of the layout of the Library. As he moves deeper into the Fiction area, he notices something that seems a little strange. Telling himself that it's just trick of the light, he continues to move deeper into the stacks. Then the strange motion resolved itself into... Okay, that was weird even by 'aliens' and 'killer robot' standards.

Sliding his bookmark out of his pocket, he sets it to broadcast.]


Does anyone know if there's any wildlife that's native to the Library? I keep seeing weird insects.

[Something strange swoops by and Steve blinks in surprise.]

Or birds? It looked like a bird.

[Kind of.]

And there's a garden somewhere in the stacks.

[Have a dark-haired elf giving you a slightly curious look, Steve.]

A bird that is not a bird? From my limited understanding of how this Library works, it is merely the imagination of the pages that limits what escapes the pages.

[He's not done much exploring yet, considering he found himself almost literally attached at the hip to Glorfindel.]

Perhaps a bit more specific information on the location of the garden would be helpful, if you would be so kind.

[A friendly elf, at least? Ish. He's not entirely sure how he feels about most men yet. This one at least seems capable.

And the description of the birdlike thing was different, for sure. Ecthelion will just have to drag a certain blond elf out and about - and soon.]


The dangerous aspect of our new home is rather the whole point of us being here. We are to to fix it, if we can. Did you go searching on your own?

[A garden? That sounds promising. But first thing's first--]

Wildlife..? Y-you don't think there'd be any bears or anything, do you?

[Have another elf, this one glows brightly as he leans in closer, looking thoughtful.]

I haven't really seen any aside from the books. What kind of creatures have you seen?

Oh, good... M-maybe they're more afraid of us than we are of them.

[Well, as far as she knows, she's the only afraid one here.]

Do you want any help with the animals? I don't know a lot about... um, well, any of them, but there were some birds where I lived.
silverwaters: (Curious)

Those who cannot fight should be defended, you have my agreement there. However, even scouts should not go alone when not even the known is not so known here.

[While he does not trust the Head Librarian, yet, he isn't foolish enough to discount warnings. Orders, he'd only obey from his king. And the Librarian was not he.]

Before my death, I was often sent off on scouting and guard duties, as was another from my home that has been brought here. While I do not have my armor and sword here, I am not defenceless. And my companion came just before a patrol.

[Yep. You're talking to an elf who died. Sorry?]

[Glorfindel wouldn't mind the questions, he's used to them after so long.]

Did any make aggressive moves? I haven't seen the bird but while I agree we should be wary, attacking things may not be the best move.

[A bird with metal feathers, that doesn't sound pleasant though. He looks thoughtful for a moment before speaking once more.] How big was it? And did it look ready to breathe fire?

[He's exploring as well, though he perhaps should not be, he can't help it. Still, he pauses as he hears something from his bookmark, which he takes out and puzzles at for a moment, before looking at it, upside down, with a raised brow]

How interesting... it works for other people as well. [This was said more to himself then anything, and he turned it right side up to talk to the man]

I've yet to run into birds, insects or gardens, though I would be interested to know if anything here was native or if it's all part of the mess they want us to clean up in the books.

Big ones that look like metal do. They are creatures of the Enemy who I will not name here.

[But Glorfindel relaxes slightly, smiling brightly then.]

Ah, I suppose I forgot to introduce myself! I am Glorfindel, I hope we are able to work together. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance, as I am always happy to help.

[Such things are why he hasn't gone that far, though it wasn't the full reason. Glorfindel can be quite distracting, especially when they'd been apart - longer for the other elf than for Ecthelion.]

That would be wise.

[He allows a hint of amusement at the confused question.]

Yes. I was brought here after some time spent in the Halls of Mandos. The halls of the dead, if you wish to think of it.

[The market certainly is something he'll be visiting.]

I will be sure to search, see what I may find.

[Safety first--she's more than happy to live with that. She nods.]

Shiny? Hmm... Maybe a hummingbird or a peacock? Peacocks are big and scary, though, I think.

The Creator of my universe has such a power, though I had not expected to be reborn for some time yet. [If ever, but he could hope. He'd lived a good life, hopefully it's good enough to get him reborn before Glorfindel Sailed West.

He speaks so matter-of-factly, as if this is a daily topic of conversation.]


The only other from my universe was very much alive before he was brought here. There may be others I have yet to meet.

[It wasn't his place to say that Glorfindel had died soon after he had, but had been reborn thousands of years later. Then continued on ever since.]

Nor have I. Is there anything you would wish for, should I find and recognize it?
kappagirl: (cautious)

[personal profile] kappagirl 2015-06-27 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Like a robot?

...I'm sorry, that's just weird, right?

[Oh. He answers. Quickly. In fact the unimpressed look on his face speaks volumes. Especially after he knew quite well that the Librarian told Steve not to wander off alone. If he could look anymore unimpressed, Tony wouldn't believe he could pull it off.]

If it has feathers it is a bird... or is it?

[Okay. What? What just came out of his mouth? Tony's brow furrowed at that.]

Steve... Where are you?
