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

[likeagerbil]

[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.

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?

[Religion is something that Steve has years of experience with. He went to church on Sundays and had lived with very devout neighbors but no one talked about the afterlife in such common terms.]

I'm glad you have people here from your universe. It's hard to get used to something like this without having your friends around.

[Pausing, he considers what they might need. Not for himself but for any emergencies that might happen.]

If you can find anything that would be useful if someone gets hurt, I'd appreciate it. It'd be good to have supplies ready in case there's an emergency.

[He's never had reason not to believe the Lore of his people, nor to disbelieve the Valar or Maiar, for all their power and what he recalled seeing as a child. The Halls are just...special.]

Yes, I am grateful to have one dear to me here. I hope the adjustment for you will grow easier, if you do not have such a companion from your universe.

[He listens to what is requested, then tips his head a little.] I will keep a sharp eye out.

I have a friend that arrived with me. [Which might not be the help Steve wishes it to be considering how Tony had wanted a normal life.] It'll help that he's here. Last time I went through something like this, almost no one I knew was alive.

[Steve can't help wondering if it's just as much a shock for Ecthelion to be here as it'd been for Steve waking up from the ice.] Has it been difficult for you to get used to being here?

Thank you. If you see anything else that would be helpful it might be a good idea to pick it up while we have access to the market. I think each of us will be planning for different kinds of trouble.

[Which could be an advantage considering the Librarians had been vague about what could happen here.]
