[Jude is looking pensive, trying to figure out if asking this question is even worth it. he hadn't found anything related to spyrites or Elympios since his trip to Odin's library but then again, he hasn't yet explored the entirety of it.

maybe he should, to at least get an answer & to put his never ending racing mind at ease if just for a moment.]

The library in Odin's district... it wouldn't happen to have books from other worlds, would it? I know it's a long shot, but I just figured I'd ask. I haven't gotten to see all of it yet.

[the boy would very much love to continue his research while helping out with matters here but if the reality of it is that he'll ultimately have to put a pause on that until he returns home? then he'll just have to deal with it.]

You can take the school out of the honor student, but you can't take the honor student out of school.

Or whatever that saying is.

[There's a long, obnoxious pause before he goes on.]

You'll find what you're looking for there, Jude.

[patients]

[har har Alvin you're hilarious.]

Can you blame me? You know just as well as I do what's at stake.

[after that pause, his eyes widen & he leans a bit into the feed.] Really? Are you sure? [he's really hoping Alvin's not just pulling his leg here. that'd be a pretty big let down he won't be too happy about.]

[trustexercises]

Of course I know. But you know who doesn't give a damn? These deities. They aren't worth their salt.

[Alvin feels like he has a right to be picky. Sure, they weren't bad to chat with, but the longer he thinks about it, the more they're utterly useless. One branch can be lost as long as everything else keeps going.

What a load of crap.]

Either way, I'm sure. They've got every book you can dream of in there, and then some.

[patients]

What are you talking about? They brought us here to help their world, haven't they?

[the harshness in Alvin's tone surprises him & though he's happy about having the tools he needs to continue his research, he's kind of wondering what Alvin's going on about. had the gods done something to cause such distrust?]

[trustexercises]

Help their world. You nailed it.

Some. You can find things on any of our worlds there and books from those worlds. [She's reading something right about then. The gibberish on the cover's indecipherable.] Good luck understanding some of the things from other worlds, but if it's from yours, it should be there.

Just have to hunt a little.

[patients]

That's a huge relief. [Jude lets out a huge sigh.] Thank you so much. I'll have to make sure to look carefully.

[it'll probably take him a while given how big that place is. might take a few days but he'll be sure to find them.]

[samantha_grey]

[The Great Library in Odin's District was no small thing. It was pretty easy to get lost in it.] No problem. I used to spend a lot more time over there before, but I've been here for a while, so I usually have what I need.

Usually.

If you ever get curious about this place, check the back stacks. They used to be locked, but someone busted them opened. Saved a lot of hassle. [Cause, you know, breaking into the back rooms of a library was a pain in the ass.]

[patients]

[that'll save him a lot of time. if he's going to help out here, he's going to have to learn more about this world, right?]

I'll keep that in mind. You've been a really big help, I can't thank you enough.

[now all he has to do is find a way to locate where exactly books from his world would be. maybe he should map it out... or... or something. it's not going to be as easy as he'd like it to be, but it's a hell of a lot better than fretting over what to do.]

[detects]

Yes, it does. There's also quite a detailed set of books about Asgard as well. I have yet to go through all of them. [but man has she read so much of it already]

[patients]

It sounds like it's a really extensive library. [it's going to take days to find what he's looking for.]

I've only been there once just to look around but I never imagined it would be so... vast.

[detects]

It is. I've only just recently started exploring it. It will take quite some time what with how large it is. [not that she plans to read everything but she wants to read as much as she can. and she's curious what books they have about her own world...]

Are you looking for something in particular?

[patients]

Man, at this rate I'm going to have to really plan out where I'm going. [is he going to a library or on an expedition? it's really sounding like the latter.]

Just books from my own world. Before I left, I was doing some research on something & I hate knowing that all of that has been put on pause.

[bossily]

I'm still so new here I haven't had time to see the library just yet. I've heard it's amazing, though. Do let me know what you find out about books from other worlds, would you?

[patients]

You got it. I was actually hoping to gather a few people to fully explore the place. It doesn't sound like anyone's ever seen it all before.

[bossily]

Definitely a good idea. Sign me up, if you manage to get a group together. I'd love to go.

[patients]

That would be a tremendous help, thank you!

[oh duh he should probably tell her his name.] My name is Jude. I'm still a little bit new myself, but I hope we can help each other.

[nukeoleptic]

I haven't really checked... but it does sort of seem to have a little of everything. Are you looking for something specific?

[patients]

I was researching something before I was taken here & I was hoping to find the same books I was reading here so that I could continue my work while still helping out here.

[nukeoleptic]

What sorts of things were you researching? I can look and see if I can find anything in the library!

[patients]

Well... I was trying to find more information about something called a spyrite. If used correctly, they could help a great number of people.

You have to do a bit of digging, but they're there. Probably nothing useful though. I haven't been able to find much to my liking.

[patients]

Were the books you found more about your world than books from your world?

[because that's seriously a key thing he's looking for.] I guess a little digging won't hurt. I wouldn't mind learning something new along the way.

[wasthemaster]

[...hold on.] You mean were they books from someone else's world about mine? I haven't exactly looked for those.

[patients]

I'm not quite sure. So far I've been told that there are indeed books from our world here but no one seems to know if it's based on this world's interpretation of ours or if the books themselves are copies of what we would have available at home.
