Who: Barry Allen and YOU
What: Barry got into a little bit of trouble and might need some help
When: Valentine Event: Scenario 3
Where: Jail oops
Warnings: None at this time
Notes: None at this time

Barry leaned against the cell bars and groaned. Of course he was in jail because of love. That's just how his life went these days. All he'd been trying to do was complete the mission and get back to the Library. Then he'd run into Alice and he's told him about her lover and well he hated the idea that people were being kept apart just because one guy said so. Barry, being Barry decided to help and the city leader took issue with that.

He could have tried to phase out, but he didn't want to scare people. and start a war by accident. So here he was stuck and trying to find a way out of this mess without using his powers. "Come on Allen, what would Oliver do?"

Who: Closed; Barry, Felicity, and Thea
What: Minotaur hunting
When: "Now" - but they are mazing it
Where: God only knows
Warnings: It's a Minotaur, what can possibly happen?
Notes: none

Felicity was glad that she had found Barry and Thea so soon after arriving. It felt nice to find familiar faces, but at the same time, there was something different about this library than all of the others she had been to. Granted, it had been years since she been in an actual library, there amazing things that could be done with a couple of keystrokes.

Something felt off to Felicity and she had learned to trust her senses in recent years. She was so focused on her own feelings that she had failed to notice Barry pick up a book.

"Barry, wait.... don't"

Too late.

They landed with a thump on something hard. Felicity was lying on her back.

"Open that...."

Celebrating the Holidays

More of the holiday spirit has crept into the Library. Evergreens and fairy lights decorate the main rooms. The sound of carols can occasionally be heard if a patron is quiet and waits long enough. The atmosphere of the Library is filled with goodwill and hope but that doesn't mean that things will be quiet in the Library. Again, potential patrons will be allowed to visit the Library to see if they wish to stay and help the Librarians with their duties. Current patrons will be enjoying the holidays and the unique situations presented by a festive Library.

Let the Festivities Begin

(Note: The second part of the December Event will be a test drive to help bring in potential cast members. As with all events, no one is required to participate but points will be awarded to patrons who welcome new arrivals. New arrivals participating in the event will have a simplified application process.)

The Main Reception area was filled with the sound of barking and meowing. Occasionally there was a crash followed by a long suffering sigh from the Non-Fiction Librarian. The Cat stalked along the edge of the desk, trilling occasionally to keep the animals from being too energetic with the precious books and to keep them from wandering too far from where the patrons might find them. Each one would eventually choose the patron best suited to his or her personality. They would find homes where they would be welcomed and cared for. Until then, the Cat would wait at his post, keeping an eye on their guests until everyone who wanted a companion had found the one meant for them.

Instead of getting better, the world of the Central Library beyond the main entry hall has been getting darker. Things are starting to get colder and darker. The lights barely seem to break through the darkness even when they shine at their brightest.

Phase two has started, make your choice…

1. The nightmares are getting worse. They have gone from just leaving marks from injuries and dirt from wherever you went, but now… now people are being pulled into your dreams with you. They will have to live out the nightmare with you and the stakes are higher. You can die.

2. Ghosts are wandering the halls of the Library. They seem to be talking to someone, maybe from their life. Maybe you know them. Whatever the case is, the ghostly echoes of their voices send a chill down your spine. Listen carefully… it may be a warning. Maybe a message for a past long gone. Just be careful to know the friendly ghosts from the ones that want you to die…

3. Most of the ghosts that wander the shelves are only talking, but those that want to wreak their pain on others exist. Doors are appearing in strange places. They are dilapidated and ornate in ways you can’t even imagine. They have a Japanese feel to them and you might be curious to enter the rooms beyond… the floors are broken where once beautiful wood floors and tatami mats once were. It’s dark and desperately cold… and there will always be a ghost waiting to make you suffer their pain within. You can’t kill them… but if you have the right tool…

4. People that have lost people and feel guilty for surviving (they must feel guilty!) are noticing that tattoos are spreading on their skin. There has been a tattoo maiden that has managed to touch you at some point in your dreams and now you are seeing her in random places in dreams and when awake. In fact… she’s following you… and it might be wise to not let her touch you again.

5. Crimson butterflies are starting to flutter about the library, leaving trails of sparkling embers. You don’t know why they are there, but they seem to be following some people about, specifically ghosts or twins. They leave behind an ominous feeling and should one touch you, you are hit with vivid scenes of twins being forced to strangle the eldest of the set… and in one, darkness swallows the world because the sacrifice failed…

6. One door seems to remain, dark and ominous branching off from the shadowy aisle of folklore. Should you walk through, you may see one of a few scenes… Little girls are running in a game of demon tag… but the moment the last is caught the scene melts away. A dark room is replaced with a girl screaming in fear. She’s tied to a chair before a noh mask with spikes in the eye is shoved onto her face. The screaming is unreal… And even with the girl dies and blood drips to the floor, people fade away with cries of ‘my eyes!’ echoing in the darkness. Be still. Be silent. Maybe she won’t find you.

7. Wild Card: remember it is Fatal Frame styled, but you are free to bring in your own demons... anything bad can happen. The shadows are taking definitive shape.

(PLEASE ASK IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS! Also, you need the Camera Obscura to kill ghosts, there are FIVE hidden all over the Library. If you want to be a candidate for the carrier of the camera... speak up in Plurk when this link is posted!)

The cold presence is seeping in through the dark shadows. The darkness is reaching further, brushing the minds of the patrons and opening doors to dimensions that should not be open. Something wants in. But in the Central Library, there are ways to get through without crossing entirely… through your dreams. Among other things.

Pick one of the options below and make a post for other patrons to join you in the events. You may make up your own, but keep it matching the event at hand as the different phases of the event will progressively get worse.

1. Your dreams are getting dangerous, violent even. When you wake up, there are bruises and injuries that shouldn’t be there. What is going on? Why are your dreams becoming a reality little by little? And why is it getting so hard to wake up?

2. Things are shifting in the Library. The shadows are moving and the temperatures are starting to drop. There are cold spots that sometimes get colder and sometimes it feels like if you turn around, you’ll find someone right behind you.

3. The monsters are looking a bit more frantic and daring to come closer to the center of the Library where they normally will not tread. It seems you aren’t the only ones scared of the dark recesses any longer.

4. The Market is now a lovely little faire of the early Renaissance with all sorts of fresh grain, fruits and vegetables! It is a brilliant sight, but it seems the ominous plague masks they don still gives a foreboding feeling of the miasma that killed over two-thirds of the world’s population… Perhaps you shouldn’t wander very far.

5. New areas are now opened up. A blacksmith and workshop for the tinkers has been created. You might want to look or contribute... You might also want to stop in the new bath area. The large pool has a Grecian feel and all of the walls are made of crystalline glass where the stars are always shining with a different universe in constant succession.

6. Wild Card: Make up your own scenario. Just remember that all of the things above are happening. Things are getting foreboding and growing stronger by the day. Sleep will be a luxury you might not have… You may not see what’s coming, not yet. But you know it’s coming.

Welcome to the Wild West! The year is 1881 in a hot, desolate corner of the Arizona Territory. Soon it will become the site of one of the most infamous gunfights in history. But today, it’s not the Cowboys or the Earps that have the town buzzing with gossip. It’s the strange events that happened this morning.

Thanks to the Head Librarian’s efforts, the unicorns that invaded Tombstone seem like nothing more than herd of wild horses that have stampeded through town and decided to graze nearby. For some, this is merely a curiosity that adds to the local chatter but other see it as a moneymaking opportunity. Those pretty, white horses don’t seem to belong to any of the locals and even if they did, there’s a few horse thieves in town that will be tempted by the herd outside of town.

Your team will enter through the blue white portal and step out into the desert mining town of Tombstone. It is rough, wild place with few rules. There’s a feud brewing between the law and the Cowboys but these events cannot be changed without altering the history of many worlds. Although patrons can interact with the citizens of Tombstone, they must be careful. Strangers and drifters are expected in town but behavior that is beyond what is expected of normal might find themselves facing an angry mob or locked up in the local jail.

Although some might be tempted to meet Wyatt Earp and friends, and may see the famous lawmen, the Librarians discourage the kind of interactions that could lead to prison time.

Find the unicorns and bring them back while ensuring that the locals don’t notice anything unusual in town. Remember that the creatures are intelligent and wary of those who are not pure. Not all of our patrons may be seen as friendly by the ‘horses’. Do not hurt them or be offended it they seem to object to your life choices. Make sure that none of Tombstone’s citizens keeps any of the wild horses and make sure that no one learns of what will happen at the OK Corral.

[OOC: This is for Team: Unicorn Stampede only. You will play out rounding up the unicorns, and returning them home. This is ONLY for team work and getting things done. If you have questions, you can call for Bob the Skull or The Cat to help you. Bob will be running communications. Once you finish the event (or at the same time if you will), patrons may use this time to use portals to enter Tombstone, go shopping, or interact with the locals as long as they do not upset the events that are destined to occur. But not in the team log.]

Update! To help the event conclude, options are being provided to help organize the groups. These can be tagged meme style to help give more structure to the tasks. Current threads can be completed and new ones started.

Options

1. Distracting the locals - This could be keeping any curious residents from noticing anything strange about the 'wild horses' or it could be keeping any potential horse thieves from stealing a pretty pony or two.

2. Bait! or Unicorn Roundup - Remember that unicorns are picky about who they want to befriend. They may not like some people in the group. This could be hinder the roundup or be used to help get the unicorns back home.

3. Safety First! - The unicorns might not be as tranquil as expected. That means that there is a possibility of injury to a patron or one of the residents of Tombstone. Please make sure that no one important gets injured and history is rewritten!

The main hall had been, for lack of a better word, taken over. It shined more than usual and everything was cleared from the floors to make room for the elegant décor of a royal ball. How, no one knows, the invitations were posted throughout the library, inviting all to attend the Ball in honor of the ‘prince’ seeking his future bride.

How or why this came to pass without even a slight questioning, no one even knows. But the feeling, the presence of the restless characters infecting those inhabiting the library is getting stronger. Just like Cinderella can’t stay past midnight, your time is winding down. If you do not return your stowaway personality by midnight…. You may be stuck with the dual personality forever.

The ball is starting soon… how will you arrive? Everyone is invited.

[OOC: This is phase two of the event, a ball thrown by Magnus. You can either have your thread start before the ball starts or during. But it's time to start getting your tag-alongs home. This ends on July 31st. Please enjoy!]

Once upon a time an enchantment crept through the Library, winding through the stacks and slipping amongst the shelves. Those that were touched by this classical magic might find themselves seeing things that they had thought were impossible or finding themselves bursting into song. Some may find themselves wishing for love or adventure, perhaps even both. While others find themselves acting as vagabond or prince.

With the enchantment came a menagerie of flora and fauna, but not to worry. Gardens bloom with fanciful flowers and the darker aisles begin to resemble a forest instead of the more mundane shelves. Strange birds break up the Library's hush and mice scurry from shelf to table, whispering of lost Princesses. These woodland creatures are not to be feared... unless someone has stumbled into the more Grimm areas of the Fiction section. Although the spell is only beginning, the patrons touched by its magic may act strangely or find themselves slightly - or more than slightly - changed by the enchantment.

Remember that this is only be beginning of our Tale. Other wonders and mysteries will soon appear...

((ooc: This post is for to help get the event underway. Players can tag in to start their own mini plots and interact with others. Please treat it like a meme (action or prose depending on the players preferences) tag new people and have fun!))
