The LIBRARY

This will all be appearing in the back of the next mini. Enjoy!

The Index City LIBRARY is known and feared throughout the world of literary catalogouing. Known for it’s stubborn staff, it’s rigid rules, and it’s support of corporal punishment, the LIBRARY is quite literally a prison for books. It is the responsibility of the Librarian Agents not only to ensure that books are returned on time, but in many cases never loaned out, lest the tomes wear out from exposure. Many of the books in the LIBRARY are extremely rare, ranging from the magical (such as the Telecomnicon) to the scientific (Supernatural Physics as described by Metaphyscial Math.) Most are either the last of their kind or the only copy ever printed.

There is absolutely no speaking in the library during library hours, on pain of expulsion, fine, or in extreme cases death. Sometimes all three.

All Librarian Agents are required to have their own coffee mug in the employee lunch room, be capable of 200 words per minute on a word processing program, have experience in information organization, and must have mastered a form of physical combat. Fugitive tracking skills and a can-do attitude are also a plus.


Librarian Profile-

HEATHER- Head Librarian Agent.

Number of Cats- 37.

Number of friends- 0.

Heather has worked for the Library since she was 16. The organization first noticed her usefulness when she sent a classmate to the hospital for keeping an overdue book for more than a week. She is widely known as one of the greatest of all catalouging minds in our time, and is also commented on for her strict discipline. She learned her style of fighting, which she has not named, from watching her cats fight over milk.

Heather sleeps upside down with her legs crooked around a long iron pole, with her arms folded over her chest. She says it helps her back.

Secretely an avid reader of the Edmund Eriathfaers line of romance novels.

HORWITZ- Librarian Desk Agent

In charge of vhs/dvd section and also handles the books on tape.

Cannot read.

Horwitz was an awkward kid who grew into an awkward adult and then grew into an awkward late-middle aged man. His self esteem survives through a constant delight in small evils, which include levying large, invented fines against late library books and randomly shutting down a borrowers card every day for kicks. Horwitz hates Heather, but is forced to do what she says because his mother always told him to be nice to girls.

He fights with a gigantic, old school circular stamp. Since stamps are not used as frequently today and are often shaped differently, people often ask him just what the hell that huge thing he’s swinging around is.

Horwitz responds to anything embarrassing by hiding in the bathroom and listening to the Edmund Eriathfaers romance novels on tape until he thinks everyone is gone. Would never admit to his addiction in public.



Librarian Profile-

HALSTEAD- Librarian Volunteer

Covertly authors several romance novels under the pen name Edmund Eriathfaers.

The last name is an anagram for faerie trash.

Halstead is only fifteen years old, but is widely considered a prodigy amongst Librarians. He mastered the Dewey Decimal System at age five, and had in fact suggested several ways to improve it by age 7. There are high expectations for him as an archivist.

However, his secret passion has left him crippled with self loathing. Mortally afraid that anyone will find out that he is the creator of the widely acclaimed but much maligned Edmund Eriathfaers line of bodice rippers, he lives his life in a state of constant social paranoia. His computer has enough encryptions on it to rival the LIBRARY itself, and he writes his manuscripts in code, claiming to be writing to his dear old grandmother.

He mastered the art of paper battle by playing with old, thrown away scribblings for his novels. Because of this, he never leaves anyone he fights alive, in case they read the notes he killed them with.
