You get the sense that you pass through a door, but it shuts immediately behind you. However, when you look back, there is nothing but a dead end wall behind you. There is carpet is lush beneath your feet, and the corners are free of dust. Except for the lack of any actual entrance, it could easily be the entranceway of a lavish mansion.

Any magical or otherwise supernatural abilities you have are disabled.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

As soon as you take the book off the shelf, it falls open in your hands, and you experience a memory. It's vivid while it lasts, but the moment it's over it starts fading, until it's like you only read it in a book...

It appears to be an index.

[Vincent? Now isn't that tempting.

But no, going to check out the desk.]

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

The pens on the desk are high-quality fountain pens, in black, blue, and red ink.

The paper and the books all appear to be blank.

[Picking up a book and a black pen and writing in it.]

Would you like a story of something more factual?

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

You write that question without any unusual effects.

Re: THE LIBRARY

You do that successfully.

[Putting that on the Aather bookcase then looking along the walls for any doors or exits.]

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

There are some suspicious-looking seams in the wall, but no obvious mechanisms for opening an exit.

[Tries to move the pedestal if it isn't too heavy.]

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

The pedestal appears to be anchored to the floor.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[beforehecheats]

[Bookshelves are probably too heavy to move, right?]

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

Correct.

It doesn't look like this is a problem that will be solved by brute force.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[Going to the desk and picking up another book and a red pen.]

There is no exit to this room.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

You write There is no before your arm seizes up with pain and you can't continue.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[beforehecheats]

[That is not pleasant.]

But you won't give a hint. Wouldn't be fun, would it?

[Flexing his fingers and writing something again.]

The door in the room is hidden and closed. The pedestal is the key to opening that door.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

You get through The door in the room is hidden and closed. The pedestal is before your arm seizes up again, the pain worse this time, shooting down your shoulder and seizing up your chest.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[beforehecheats]

[This is not going to work in the long term. Forgetting the writing and picking up the last volume in the Aather section.]

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

You read A41.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[beforehecheats]

[Too much to hope for the last entry would be detailing this heart. Yep. Looking at the floor. Is there a rug or anything unusual about it.]

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

The floor is bare marble.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[beforehecheats]

[Well his arm could use a bit more punishment.]

The books are used to open the hidden door.

Re: THE LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

That works fine.
