It's fancy.

[WATCHING YOU!!!!!111 but also looking over at the open door]

Re: The Villa

IT IS A CLOSED- well recently open door since there's someone running through here right now. You both find yourselfes in one large, open room, lined from ceiling to floor with books of all different sizes. The book covers are a mix of faded gray and white, with white books dominating the room for the most part. In the center of the room is a simple desk with a laptop sitting on it. The screen is glowing faintly.

Oh hey, a computer.

[ I'M BLIND RLY

goes over to poke at the keyboard of the laptop.

Blindly. ]

Re: The Villa

... Be careful over there, remember how weird hearts are.

[I bet I can read book titles without touching anything!! Let's look at a couple]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

At the keyboard poking, and with the consequent letters filling the screen, the faded gray books immediately go black.

Any black books Hazel's now holding are completely black and unreadable.

—Hey! Lay off that thing!

Re: The Villa

Woah, what?

[ turns a bit???? ]

Re: The Villa

[gravitysrainbow]

... Did you just start touching things...

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[striding over to see if he can fix it]

Who are you?

Re: The Villa

[heliotropic]

It wasn't a tree, okay?

[ waves a hand ] Nameless.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[urgh, tries retyping the password thing]

Well think before you go screwing around with stuff.

Re: The Villa

[gravitysrainbow]

I told him all that too.

Re: The Villa

[heliotropic]

Gosh you guys. . .

Re: The Villa

[gravitysrainbow]

Hearts are delicate, so you should be more careful with this one.

Re: The Villa

[heliotropic]

That seems waaay too delicate.

Re: The Villa

[gravitysrainbow]

Well if people were poking around in your actual heart too much you'd die, right? It's like that but instead of dying you go crazy if people poke the wrong things.

Re: The Villa

[heliotropic]

. . .

So what's the point?

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

The screen currently reads:

Green Horse became "B U C K I N G H O R S E 3 W W Q G 6"

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[FIXES THAT

and if it works, looking at the book again]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

The books fade again to gray, and assuming there aren't any more poking fingers, you manage to pull the book off the shelf and get a good look at its cover.

'Secret Passageways in the Cavallone Villa'

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

... Well.

[let me try something real quick. takes the book outside the library, then screws up the password again—and goes to see if the book outside is still gray]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

The book stays gray, lucky you.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[okay good. grabs it, and starts flipping through it as he walks]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

There's a number of rooms upstairs, a good few of which have a hidden passageway that appears to lead... somewhere? There's another one in the room on the other side of the first floor, the one with music coming out of it.
