HIGH SPEED LIBRARY POST

[worldlyafflictions]

Who: Anyone
Where: IT MATTERS NOT TO THIS PEP but you guys get to be at the hotel or the library.
When: Day 41, midday-ish

[HEY IMEEJI, THIS ISN'T A LIVE!! (eta: jk it's a live now)

Instead there is a pink super-speed blur racing around the lobby briefly, definitely going more than fast enough to slam people with a strong breeze in passing, before it materializes into a pep!pep! when he slows down to drop a bunch of miscellaneous looking stuff next to him.]

'Morning-morning~! I found out not too long ago that we got that library people were wanting~! Soooo~ Let's say 50 points for an unbelievably quick and convenient ride over and back, but free ta anybody who can make a useful contribution ta this endeavor! You'll be heading over... in this! [Reaching down to pick up... AN EGG CARTON. Wiggles the egg carton. Yeah.]

My team is already riding for free, of course, as is AlcheME! for making this project possible.

Who's interested~? Outbound rides will be ending in two hours!


[You're free to ignore him and head to the library three hours away on foot yourself though, of course. Or possibly you were unlucky and already left and missed this ONCE(?) IN A LIFETIME CHANCE.]

Free trip~ free trip~

[worldlyafflictions]

Might be like super bumpy for a minute or two though... This carton might need some cushions.

[neigh_sayer]

Cut down on pollution, riding with Pep!pep! is the solution!

[worldlyafflictions]

Nice! We oughta put it on a sign.

[honoraria]

A. hotel

[dressed like a sensitIV today though in deference to AlcheME! he has a crystal on a ribbon wound around one wrist.

anyway he is peering at the egg carton, dubiously. very dubiously.]

This seems...uncomfortable.

B. library

[presumably he'll get there eventually. perusing the fiction offerings soon leads him to browsing the poetry section]

Is this all...

[he says, with a stack of five books already in hand]

a

[worldlyafflictions]

On the plus side it'll literally only be for like a minute or two. Uncomfortable for a minute, or walking three hours there? [Weighs his hands]

sorry did you say no live??? this is now a LIVE

[sleeplessknight]

Time for another Pep Quiz!!

You know one of our unit's lives is education, right? Sooo~ what sort of stuff are people here interested in learning about? It can be any topic, we'll take all suggestions into consideration!

[liarliarliar]

I want to learn about the cute new team Pep Pep of course ♥

[neigh_sayer]

Is this like an in flight educational movie?? Talk to me about loooove.

[deicider]

[Cardigan is practically radiant and already has an armful of books about like, bowmaking and team sports and poetry.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You're a bookworm?

[nohalation]

[And putputtering by pep!pep suddenly is Angel who has her hands TIGHT ON THE WHEEL OF THE MAGICAL GOLFCART.

There are probably some FiN's attached to the roof, or the back or smth too. Don't ask. Also try not to get run over.]

W-w-w-wow, I'm still not very used to it.

[scarvedforlife]

[ CLINGING TO THE ROOF Sho has never feared more for his life. ]

YOU'RE DOING GREAT, SWEETIE.

[comphosite]

[Phos can be found in the library carefully pulling a book off the shelf. They let the volume rest splayed open over their palm, fingers spreading thin to support it as one gold finger oozes nimbly between the pages to turn them. Their other hand rests against their chin.

After a bit, they close the book with a snap, hand abruptly back to normal proportions.]

As I thought, this isn't fun at all.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ staring at their finger like

wtf, it's oozing, that's. wow. ]

... Not a fan of reading I take it?

[mycaringheart]

[something about the library calls out to him... but he's peering at the egg carton curiously]

...Perhaps, as long as it isn't dropped...

[worldlyafflictions]

Haha, of course, who couldn't trust a pep!pep! with their life?

[afailedmurder]

I should probably stay close to home today, but would you mind picking me some books? I'm happy to assist with shrinking people for the outbound journey, of course.

[honoraria]

[A is a cute boyfriend]

Of course. What are you looking for?

[we_meet_again]

Honestly, I'm interested in the library but even MORE interested in being shrunk and having a cardboard thrillride.

[liarliarliar]

I can make you so small and cute.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Holy crap, would you look at this place?

[Staring up at the crazy sci-fi aesthetic, because wow.]

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, looks more like somebody's lair than just a book collection.

[a_fine_human]

[just stares at him]

An egg carton.

[worldlyafflictions]

And napkin cushions.

[shutthefoxup]

Aa, smart idea.

[liarliarliar]

Silver....!

[smol running over]

I was gone but I'm back now!

[holdhandsandsing]

[N probably makes it to the library at some point in some way. He's not really interested in books other than, like, fish encyclopedias with photos and stuff... but there's also a picture book with "にんぎょひめ" written on the cover mixed in with his pile.]

Hmm~...

[do u dare approach and get an eyeful of creepy deep sea life? because that is definitely what he has open right now.]

[rollyourluck]

[ looks at the carton ]

Can we fit?

[worldlyafflictions]

That's what AlcheME! is for, my friend! They can shrink people down.

[lovescomplicated]

Moving that fast...has it made you hungrier at all yet?

[worldlyafflictions]

Not more than I think I'd get from running around a lot....? Uh, I can't remember if I got hungry from running before, so...

[theyregooddogs]

[going to walk to the library on his own two feet but certainly enjoying the pink blur zipping past him on trips . . . whenever john gets to the library, he will pick out an eclectic selection of chemistry, medical, and psychological texts to huddle into a corner with]

[worldlyafflictions]

[Stopping while on the way back]

Ya suuure ya don't need a ride~?

[heroicsacrifeyes]

[A red blur also races into the lobby!]

Look what I just got approved! Just in time to help.

[worldlyafflictions]

Aha, nice, Rise-chan! I'll definitely need a break, so you can take over! Or we can bring all these bookworms food 'n drinks on demand later on, maybe.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

What a useful ability, I’d love a ride to the library!

[He wanted a gym but learning als also exciting, transferring the 50 points.]

[worldlyafflictions]

Oh hey, thanks for the business! Several of the other customers are making upgrades to the shuttle but I'll let ya know when we're ready ta shrink 'n head out!

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ A. Getting a Lift? ] Ah--is there room for one more, maybe? [ B. At the library ] [ Hiryuu can be found perusing different sections of the library, grabbing a handful of books on sociology, government, therapy, modern science and technology, a dictionary--and several How To Read books for children. One of these things is definitely not like the others. ]

A.

[worldlyafflictions]

Technically I've got room for twelve people, so plenty of space left.
