Forgive me, everyone, it is time to call upon you for aid.

[The Librarian looks tired, his eyes darker and not truly focusing on anything in particular. His brow furrows as he bows his head in silent apology to add to his greeting.]

The commotion from our storybook friends has caused doors to be opened and not be closed as tightly as they should. After tasting a bit of freedom to roam, the curiosity is not sated. Now… it seems a few of these characters have escaped from their books and slipped through the cracks into other worlds they do not belong in.

[Turning his head, he taps the side of the screen and visual images of the creatures from Wonderland pop up on the screen next to the image of Wiltshire, England.] It seems that the citizens of Wonderland have made their way into the country of England and where many stories of these creatures have certainly been around for many centuries, the reality of their existence is not so easy to explain.

[The picture changes and images of beautiful silver white horses with horns slide across the screen before another image of the town of Tombstone comes into focus beside it.] Unicorns are a mythical creature that only exist in some worlds, in stories for others… and not at all for some. They are magical creatures, very intelligent… but they should not be in this historical town. I fear that the people are not ready for such a thing and both the people and the animals are in danger of each other.

[The pictures disappear and another comes up of various animals that look like drawn pictures flick across the screen. Soon the images of Yellowstone National park flick up and tile beside it.] There is a children’s story, some may be familiar with… of animals going through life and the trials of growing up. However the trials of the story are not the same as those in reality. They are not for this place and need to go back to their home. After all, a deer, rabbit and skunk are not commonly seen together, nor are they seen talking.

[All the pictures clear as he returns to the video feed.] This is no easy task I ask of you, but these fictional creatures need to be brought back. And more important, they cannot be seen by the inhabitants of the worlds they are entering. I have been masking their presence… the Wonderland creatures are no more than teenagers having a party in an ill chosen spot… The unicorns appear as no more than horses to the people of Tombstone… and the animals from the children’s story look to be real and not as you see them in the picture.

Doing this… takes a great deal of energy and I will not be able to help you further. However, I have sent information to each of you as you will be split into teams and sent through the doors. The Non-Fiction Librarian will guide you. He will lead you through the worlds in his care as best he can. Use your bookmarks to look up information. I have sent the list of teams to each of you…. Please proceed to the doors, prepare yourself…

[The Librarian frowns, his expression almost sad.] Please be safe. There are things that can and will hurt you if you are not careful. I will do all I can from here to keep you safe.

[Texts pop up on the different bookmark feeds with a list of teams as well as the locations that they will find the doors.]
