For a moment, the building is transparent. Then, it phases in completely. The building is vast, holding ten stories, each rather large. The building itself has many pillers all around it, almost like a forest of stone trees with a path leading to the doors. The ten foot double doors, made from solid gold, are inlaid with a moving image of two dragons fighting. Past the doors is a grand library filled to the brim with books, the floors with balconies overlooking the floors below. Straight ahead is a large stand, both desk and shop. Within the shop are items glowing with magic to those who know how to look. Behind the desk/shop is a large sign with three names, though it seems to have places for many more:
Head Librarian/Lord Seeker: Jingzu Lunaria
Seekers: Satorius, Serenia
Seekers/Librarians-in-training: Eskel, Taerlin
Librarians: Satorius, Tharn
Magic Item Shopkeepers: All of the above. If any are in, then you can buy an item.
The amount of books is staggering, yet that sign proclaims that if the book or knowledge isn't here, one could hire a Seeker to seek that knowledge out. They also seem to take jobs on finding magic items...
Rules:
*Obey the Terms of Agreement on this board.
*Only Seekers and Librarians may cast in this library. Everyone else has a ban on their magic/Psionics, unless lifted by a Seeker or Librarian. Threats and/or bribes can not make APCs lift the ban under any circumstances.
*Don't bother trying to burn anything here. It won't work.
*Hurting the books in any way, shape, or form is also impossible.
*Unless a book is checked out, it can not leave the premises due to powerful magics.
*Same goes for Magic Items.
*You can hire a Seeker to find things for you... for a price.

(He entered the library. He approached the nearest librarian and asked her if any of the shopkeepers were available.
She went off to see who was in.)

(Serenia came into the entrance lobby and over to him.)
"Good afternoon Mellinore. How can we help?"
(He nodded to her.) "Serenia, I would like to purchase a spell scroll, if you have one. And inks and other materials for scribing the spell into books.
I am after the Mind Blank spell."
(Serenia's eyes go distant.) "Mind blank... Yes we have that. It is expensive though. I am sorry, but - three thousand gold pieces, or the equivalent. And that is if we have one. And ahh - 800 for the materials.
Let me just check whether we have one."
(She turns and disappears into the Library. When she returns she carries a scroll in her hands.)
"We do indeed have one. Here we are. Last of the crop. Do you need the materials?"
(He shook his head.) "Actually I purcheased some a little while ago and never used them. They should be in my house somewhere."
(He dug through his pouches and came up with a number of standard-weight platinum coins which were acceptable as payment, and handed them over, accepting the scroll in retun.)
(Serenia smiled.) "A pleasure to do business with you my lord Mellinore. When you need anything else, that is a service we provide."
(He nods and bows.) "A great pleasure doing business with you Serenia. I will see you again soon, I hope."
(He turned and left the building, walking slowly back to his house.)

*Two letters arrive in the library, one addressed to Jingzu, the other to Serenia. They are both invited to the wedding next Tuesday*

*Serenia came into Jingzu's catacomb private chambers, smiling. Jingzu just ignored her until he finished writing in his current project. When done with that, he looked up.*
Yes?
"We just got invitations, Jing."
To?
"Cat's wedding!"
Ah. The two of them seem to be moving fast. Clear up my schedule for that day, Serenia.
*Serenia smiles and nods*
"Will do, Jing."
*She turns and walks out. Jingzu goes back to what he was doing earlier.*

*He walks into the library, perfectly at ease. Tharn walks up to him, but is beaten to it by Serenia. Tharn leaves again, muttering under his breath. Rumerin smiles pleasantly*
Hello serene one. When are you going to take me up on that offer, hm?

My place is at Jing's side. So, what brings you here? I'm sure it's not just me." |

No. Never hurts to try.
*Smiles*
You'd be invaluable to me. If you ever feel like getting filthy rich, you know where to go. But I know you never will. I'm not as hopelessly blind as he is.
Ah, I wish it was. But you're right, I need to see him. Is he in his office?

Ah, I wish it was. But you're right, I need to see him. Is he in his office? *She sighs.* "I'm never sure if it's because he doesn't notice or doesn't care. Either way, I'm going to stay until one of those changes. And I don't care so much about money.  " *She nods.* "Yep. He hasn't changed the entry spell, so you still have access." |

*Sighs*
If he doesn't notice, he's blind as a tapeworm. And if he doesn't care- well I'm not going to get into that. Shouldn't be using language like that in the presence of ladies. Cheer up, lass. He'll get off it eventually. When he hears my price, that is. Cheer up. And now I do have some business. So I'll see you later.
Don't care about money, hm? Now that is the silliest thing I've ever heard any of your lot say. I thought you all did.
*Winks and walks towards the Teleportation circle, says the word and appears in the catacombs. He walks into Jingzu's office without bothering to knock first*
There you are. What in the Nine, the Abyss and Gehena happened to the Setta Seru? Where is it?

Try knocking this time. Then we will talk. |

*For a moment, Rumerin's eyes flare up red*
U'l ryd yri yw ayoh cesgiam, Lunaria.
*He turns around, and steps outside, bangs on the door, and walks back in*
Dnihi, nebba? Ryz dicc li.

*He blinks*
The Qel'Thalas too? How come you are still alive?
*Frowns*
By whom?

*He blinks* The Qel'Thalas too? How come you are still alive? *Frowns* By whom? A friend healed me and a Cleric remade my arm. Graz'zt thought it was a nice idea to rip off the arm still holding it so that he wouldn't have to touch it. Took my ring, too. |
