(His gaze is hard, unyielding; his are the eyes of someone who has seen their end and been haunted by its repercussions. There are scars on his face - he has no way of hiding them - and the tip of one of his pointed ears is missing entirely. But his voice is deep and strong; it resonates in the manner of a King.)

I do not know what good I can offer or why so much power was expended to bring me to this place...

(He takes a breath, pausing for a beat, his stern features relaxing minutely.)

But I thank you. I would not have seen my family otherwise.

(Maedhros is clearly not comfortable being overly demonstrative, so he moves on swiftly, looking thoughtful.)

I have loved books since I was an Elfling; I did not realize they had such power to pull us into their tales. We have been given a curious flock.

Hello!

[A small boy wearing a pair of oversized glasses appears on the screen. He leans in close to the bookmark and taps at it curiously for a moment before settling back and smiling.]

I haven't really used this before, so I thought it might be interesting to give it a try. Are there many people here? I don't think I've met very many people yet.

[The boy pauses for a moment, thinking.]

I'm Conan Edogawa, by the way. And I was curious. Are there any detectives or police officers here?

E-excuse me.

[There’s a young woman with wide blue eyes on the screen. She presses her lips together briefly, trying to find the right words.]

Is . . . there a way to get a message home? Either with this or with my phone?

[She has the strong sense that there isn’t any more than there is to get home in the first place. But she has to at least ask and eliminate the option before she can go any further.]

I just don’t want them to worry about me.

[Though in all truth, she’s not sure she’s completely ready for the answer.]

And Dad and Conan-kun . . . they’ll have to figure out dinner. And Sonoko may have to take some notes for me . . . for a while.

[She trails off, pressing her lips together, looking away again. Only for a moment, though, before she pulls herself back, doing her best to summon a smile.]

Thank you in advance.

[The view from this video is a bit odd, as it's clearly at angle. Ammy has propped up her bookmark, after figuring out how to get it to show moving-pictures and sort of thinking at it that she'd like to do one herself.

Which means the first view people get is a large white paw, then a black nose and white muzzle sniffing at the screen. Then the figure backs up, and moves into view more properly. An easel with paper on it is nearby, as Amaterasu comes into view. She's a medium-sized white wolf, with red-markings and flourishes visible along her fur. Occasionally, a blue disc that shines with a sun's corona is seen above her shoulders, fading in and out of view.

There is a "woof!" in greeting, and her tail wags. Beside her, on the paper, Japanese characters appear. こんにちは。私は天照です。 "Ammy"は簡潔にするために大丈夫です。私は神話を担当する助手司書です。 As the words appear on the paper, a subtitle appears on the video-screen for everyone, in case they do not read Japanese.]

Hello. I am Amaterasu. "Ammy" is alright for brevity. I am the assistant Librarian in charge of Mythology.

[Ammy turns to look at the easel and paper, then back to the screen with a satisfied nod. More writing appears on the paper. 私があなたを助けることができるなら、私に来てください。私はもともと日本から来たものです - あなたの多くが慣れ親しんでいるよりはるかに古いものです。]

Please come to me if I can assist you. I am originally from Japan--a much, much older one than many of you would be familiar with.

[Ammy's head tilts, as she's thinking for a moment, before giving a canine-yawn. One more set of characters appears on the paper on the easel.私はこの形で人間ではないという点だけが限られています。私はそうでなければ能力があり、あなたに会うのを楽しみにしています。]

I am limited, only in that I am not human in this form. I am capable otherwise, and look forward to meeting you.

[That should be good, as far as she's concerned. Time for a nap. Padding forward, the closing view is of a white paw reaching out before the video-feed cuts.]

Seems like this is the trend today, so I wanted to make a post.

For those who haven't met me yet, I'm Sunset Shimmer and my thing is sort of a mix of Music, Friendship-themed stories, Magic stories and Unicorns.

I know, pretty girlish, but there's reasons behind everything. And yes, just to answer, people in my world are very colorful, so if you run into people with literal colors of the rainbow as their skin and hair, then you've probably run into one of my friends from home.

I can't thank Trunks more than what I've said to him, but thanks again for helping me out in the previous World we were in. That was not my cup of tea let me tell you.

[Sunset pauses to think of something and then adds,] If we ever get to my World or a place called Equestria, or if a book is located with those names regarding ponies with cutie marks on their flanks, please let me know immediately. I've yet to find anything, but I figure its buried in the Children's section somewhere.

Um... that's it! Thanks for listening.

[In the spirit of Owen's intro video cue a short haired young woman with archery gear perched atop a desk in the marksmanship and martial arts section.]

Queen, Thea Queen.

Sorry. [She softly giggled.] Always wanted to use that line. But for those I've not met yet I'm also an assistant librarian whose turf involves weapons and martial arts. Oddly fitting since my main weapon is a bow and arrow right?

[But her eyes speak volumes, she's not sure she deserves to be an assistant librarian.]

So yell if you need anything, a sparring partner or something just feels fishy?

Oh Barry and Felicity: you two can visit whenever. We have to stick together after all.

[Owen has clearly been dealing with some sort of mini emergency, if his ruffled state and the feathers clinging to his vest and pants is any indication. There's even a few in his hair that he's trying to get out as he sets his tablet-mark down, giving it a grin.]

Figured it was about time I introduce myself since so many people have been showing up lately.

[Now that he's done messing with his hair he gives a slight salute.]

Name's Owen Grady. Some of you may know me, some of you probably won't have any idea who I am. I'm an assistant librarian here. I cover pretty much any of the non-fiction sections that have to do with animals and the like so if you need something or notice something's up, get in touch with me.

[A chattering growl comes from somewhere out of view and Owen rolls his eyes fondly as he reaches out to tilt the tablet.

Beside him, coming up to about his knee, is a miniaturized version of a velociraptor with pale blue-gray stripes running down her sides laterally. She tilts her head, eyes narrowing at the screen as she snaps her jaws.]

This is Blue, one of the raptors I worked with back home. Don't let her size fool you--she's only that big here in the library. If we go anywhere else, she ends up her full size again.

[The tablet is righted again and Owen grins once more.]

Like I said, if you need anything, Blue and I are here to help.

[This would be transmitted to all Bookmarks. Coming up first on the screen is an image of large white wolf, with red-facial markings around her eyes and her forehead and shoulders. She paws at the screen briefly, gives a small woof, and then moves to bow her head in greeting. Shortly after, the following text would be transmitted.]

みんな、私はあなたの援助を要求したいと思います。様々な神話からの人間の一部が脱出しており、かくれんぼのゲームをプレイしています。私は一人でそれらを捜すために持っていない場合、それらを見つけることが速くなります。どのような援助は大歓迎です。お時間をいただき、ありがとうございます。

[Shortly after, for those who do not understand Japanese, the translation would appear below.]

Everyone, I would like to request your aid. Some of the beings from various mythologies have escaped, and are playing a game of Hide-and-Seek. Finding them will be faster if I do not have to hunt them alone. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

[Once again, Ammy appears on the screen after the text. Another 'woof' and a nod.]

私は図書館の神話と伝説のセクションに会うしてください。

[Again, the translation would follow a moment later.]

Please meet me in the Mythology and Legends section of the Library.

[A map to the designated section appears, and then the feed is cut.]

[OOC: Hi guys, I'm willing to NPC any of these characters in response to the threads below as needed.]

( Mr. Orge I'm over here! )

( Gotta catch me first! )
( Songs and Gold )

theraptorsquad

Right. Looks like I'm back.

[Hello again, residents of the library~ Someone's back and he's not sure if he's happy about it or frustrated that he's been pulled away from home. Again.]

Any chance I can get a roll call of who all's still here?

[Who knows how many have left or stayed from that original group. And there could be a lot of new people for all he knows.

It's just better to get an idea of all of that first and foremost.]

Name's Owen, for anyone that doesn't know. Owen Grady.

unfavorableinstigation

[Nita had first thought she hadn't been looking where she was going, but a quick retracing of her steps had dispelled that notion. Apparently the Powers had plans for her again.]

You'd think They'd have given me advance warning sooner this time...

[She doesn't quite take in the presence of her new bookmark-device recording her at the moment, but then she speaks up:]

I wonder if anyone here happens to have experience with worldgates? Or at least an explanation of where I am.

[At this point the feed ends, just as Nita pulls out her Manual from her pocket to check for the details of the situation herself. ~~Whether she'll find any is anyone's guess.~~]
