[moextispicy]

[...actually...]

[brb, attempting to do the traditional bedsheet climb out the window]

[zettai]

[It seems successful. You have no problem working with the bedsheet or setting up the makeshift rope.]

[moextispicy]

[It's way too preliminary to claim victory. attempts to climb out]

[zettai]

[The minute you reach the outside of the room, its presence disappears entirely and you're freefalling.]

[moextispicy]

[skdjfhskjdfhskdjfh flailing blindly, hoping to grab onto the wall or something]

[zettai]

[There's nothing there, just emptiness and a long, long fall.]

[moextispicy]

[...trying to decide which she hopes for less, a splat or an eternity of falling. ...Definitely the eternity.]

[zettai]

[Luckily enough, you get neither! After what probably feels like an entirely too long time falling, you may notice that your fall starts to turn slower and softer, more like you're floating downwards to something.]

[moextispicy]

[...wondering if this is like the floating between the cubes at the beginning, and seeing if she can control her movement by will]

[zettai]

[You can, but there doesn't seem to be much of anywhere to go as you're still completely surrounded by darkness on all sides. However, after a bit more time, your feet seem to brush a solid surface, and as you land, new scenery begins to slowly surround you like a picture being drawn over the darkness.]

[moextispicy]

[watches it]

[zettai]

[As the world begins to perfectly envelop you, you'll see it's a library--not just any library, but one particularly beautiful and so expansive that it's impossible to see or even imagine where it ends. It's so large, with so many books and such tall shelves that it wouldn't be hard to believe that this place could contain every story that's come into existence throughout all of history. Much like the Sea of Fragments, you are not bound by gravity and can float freely throughout the expanse.]

[moextispicy]

[sincerely impressed.

...And looking for the index.]

[zettai]

[Given the size of the place, it'll take quite a bit of searching to find anything. As you wander, you may notice a small spot on one of the shelves you pass is covered in splattered blood.]

[moextispicy]

What's blood doing here?

[checking it out]

[zettai]

[It doesn't seem particularly fresh, at least.]

[moextispicy]

[Anything distinguishing about the books around it?]

[zettai]

[Not from just the titles or covers, but on the off-chance you're familiar with the contents or decide to take a look inside them, they're all stories with happy endings.]

[moextispicy]

[is probably familiar with at least some of them, but doesn't find anything terribly notable about that. Continues on, then, looking for more blood as well as the index now.]

[zettai]

[There doesn't seem to be any more blood throughout the library, at least, but you still have yet to come by the index.]

[moextispicy]

[checking for anything else notable as she passes, but still looking]

[zettai]

[As you pass, you'll see a portion of a shelf where all the books are cleared and a lone figure is lying there. That's probably fairly notable.]

[moextispicy]

[...I would say so, yes. Checking that out.]

[zettai]

[It's Lambda, and she seems to be sleeping lightly.]

[moextispicy]

[...relieved, and claps her hands cheerily]

Wake up, wake up, nipa~
