Seth - March 5, 2007 09:18 PM (GMT)
Seth was for the first time in the Parmamar Library in Lomedor. He had never even seen the building before none the less been in it. His eyes opened huge while he walked through every single line of books and saw so many. He saw big one and small ones, thin ones and wide. He saw new ones and old ones, the blue ones and Gold ones. It was the book heaven and Seth wanted to look for the perfect book out of all the books that were there. The perfect one had to be somewhere in that place, why else would it have so many. Everyones favorite book was in there. Even if everyone had a different taste there was still one for ever living human being that could come by and look around. And for some reason the library was compleatly empty with only two or three people so Seth had a chance to look around every corner without waiting for someone to get out of the way or someone blocking his view of a book. "This place is huge, I can't wait till I find the right one for me!" He said while he spoke to himself about the library's size and finding the book he wanted to match to him. In otherwords his perfect book.

Seth walked along and looked at all the books and he went from one to the other reading the backs of the books to se what they were about and for those that didn't have anything he would look inside the books to see what they were about in the first page or the book intro. He read one after the other putting them all back because he couldn't find one that was right for him, and till he did he was going to keep looking because he was not goingto leave without the perfect book for him. No matter how long it took. "Oh, this one seems nice." He said as he found one he actually liked. Seht walked up to a table and opend the book to the page numbered one. "The Life Of The Angel With Two Personalities" He Read as the title of the first chapter. The books seemed kind of nice but after going through chapter one Seth saw thatthe book was only about a boy that was and angel and didn't know it. It seemed like the story everyone had already heard of. The Mystery of the one that doesn't know himself or so to speak.

Seth got up and took the book right back where he took if from to start with and kept going from there to find the book he wanted, he kept looking and only saw books related to the every person seen story or just something to obvious to even bother reading. He ws not getting tired of looking in such a huge library and not finding anything so he moved aay from the books that were at the walls and looked for a person that was in the library. As soon as he saw someone he walked up, "Excuse me, can you tell me of a good book you know of or the one you have in your hands if it's good? I just needsomething to read and don't seem to find anything that works for me so if you can just help. But it's okay if you can't, not really much of something important to take your time up in. He said to the man. He was looking for just help in knowing of a good book he could read because nothing in there was the book for him. It was all good books but not one that he couldn't figure out easily or any that wrre not already to worthless to read.

Roleun - March 7, 2007 10:54 PM (GMT)
Roleun was enjoying the solitude of the Parmamar Library thoroughly. It wasn't every day that he was allowed to just sit around a read, since he was usually guiding people around a different library all day long. A week off from working in a Library, and I go to a Library for vacation. He thought, rolling his eyes, though he knew he was enjoying himself. The Library of the Divine Trinity was a bit more busy in contrast to the utter silence of the Parmamar Library. He was sitting at a table, looking at various books in a stack. Some were historical accounts of Divine Activity, others were fictional books of heroes and villains. He was enjoying himself when he heard a voice from behind.

"Excuse me, can you tell me of a good book you know of or the one you have in your hands if it's good? I just needsomething to read and don't seem to find anything that works for me so if you can just help. But it's okay if you can't, not really much of something important to take your time up in." The voice said. Roleun turned, surprised, to look at the speaker. It was a young man, a bit shorter than Roleun, with longish black hair and brown eyes. He was probably the same age as Roleun, but about an inch shorter, and slightly more muscular.

"Well, it depends. What Genre are you looking for? There's Nonfiction, Historical Fiction, Fiction, Reference, and many subgenres. Once you choose a specific Genre, I can point you in the right direction. If you don't know what you're looking for, tell me what you like and I'll help you find a book." He answered automatically. He then looked at the young man again, chuckling to himself. "Sorry 'bout that, when you work in a Library, you tend to answer questions about books automatically, even if you're in a different Library. My name's Roleun. What's your name?" He looked at the man with a friendly smile.

Seth smiled at the man's words. He seem to be very good wen it came to explaining books. In two to three sentences explaining the whole line and choices that there were for books. It was nice to know some people still had their humanity and did read enough to know things like that. There were not many that Seth new and that was enough to make his day. The world wasn't dead, although having no life is also requierd for the most part but anjoying it is the greatest part of life. Seth liked knowing these things, he loved the idea that people took their time to read even the slightest bit. That means that people do in fact enjoy their life and are not like those others that only do work all the time taking away from their existance.

"I'm not too sure what i'm looking for exactly, I just want anything that falls under good. I've been looking around and all the books I have sen so far are no good. Or atleast for me they aren't." Seth pushed the hair that kep getting infront of his eyes away. He didn't think any books were good enough by what he already saw and maybe the man had some help he could give Seth. And now Seth had a little more hope since the man seem to know much more about books that most others. He just came to ask the perfect person by chance.

"Sorry 'bout that, when you work in a Library, you tend to answer questions about books automatically, even if you're in a different Library. My name's Roleun. What's your name?" Seth putting his hands behind his head as ususal, "I'm Seth, nice to meet you!" Seth said with a big smile on his face. So you work in a library, that's nice. Must mean you know alot about books. Hmm, but you don't work here?

Roleun - March 9, 2007 01:19 AM (GMT)
"I'm not too sure what I'm looking for exactly, I just want anything that falls under good. I've been looking around and all the books I have sen so far are no good. Or at least for me they aren't. I'm Seth, nice to meet you!" Roleun smiled back at Seth. Oooh, a tricky customer. Doesn't know what he wants... That's gonna make it a bit harder than I thought. Well, why don't we start with a quiz, then, He thought. "So you work in a library, that's nice. Must mean you know a lot about books. Hmm, but you don't work here?" Seth asked.

"Er, yeah, I know a bit about books, but mostly I'm a guide to the different classrooms, though I do get a few questions about where to find certain books. And no, I don't work here, I work in Ondoland, in the Library of the Divine Trinity. It's a bit busier than this Library, but I don't get many people asking for help, so I spend my spare time reading the books." Roleun replied. "Now, I'm going to ask you a few questions, so I can get an idea of what kind of book you'd like." He said, leading Seth toward some of the fiction shelves not too far away. Books gleamed from the shelves, and Roleun picked one off and looked at the cover before beginning his stream of questions.

"First, would you rather read something true, or something that isn't? Do you like hearing stories about places you've never been? How about people from far away? Do you like hearing myths and legends, or perhaps fairy tales? Perhaps you'd like a book that is informative about a certain subject? Maybe a book on the Divine? The possibilities are endless." He said to Seth, walking past books and gesturing at them emphatically. He turned to look Seth straight in the eyes. "These questions are important to finding out about what books you'd like, so answer as clearly as you possibly can."

Roleun started talking and explaininghow he did work in a Library but not this one. It was one from another place. Seem to be from another city or something of the sort. He told Seth how he worked their and it was much busier than this one and how people seem to find things on their own so he didn't get asked for help much and he would just read books in the spare time he had. Then he poped up with alot of questions. Seth had no clue what he was getting at but the man was getting at it. He asked True Or False, if he would rather ead a story from a place new to him, people from far away places. Seth really did not get the point of the questions but it was something book related and he was going to answer them.

"Umm, I would like to read something that really happened so i'll go with True. I love seeing new places and all so i'll say places i've never been to. And new places mean new people so that is good too. And anything that can inform me is already good. If anything about the mind and different things that can happen to it is around I would like to read something like that." Seth said answering the man's questions and seeing what else he could think of to tell the man. As far as it was at the moment that was nothing.

Seth thought a little more but that was about all he could think up and it was good enough information he thought. There was truly nothing else he could think of which ment that the man really know how to get the information out of the people that asked. Seth basically figured out himself what type of book hew wantd. He wanted an informative book on true knowledge of the mind. It was that simple but he couldn't think of it before. Now the only thing that was kleft was for the man to lead Seth to the book. " wow, your good" Seth said with a smile on his face to the man's interesting questions.

Roleun - March 17, 2007 09:12 PM (GMT)
((Sorry I'm so late, I just got back from Competition.))

"Umm, I would like to read something that really happened so i'll go with True. I love seeing new places and all so i'll say places i've never been to. And new places mean new people so that is good too. And anything that can inform me is already good. If anything about the mind and different things that can happen to it is around I would like to read something like that." Seth answered. Roleun nodded and started thinking of books he had read. "I see... You have some good taste in books. Well, let's go look in the Nonfiction section," He replied, leading Seth toward the shelves.

Roleun walked through, glancing at covers and remembering the contents of the book. "No, I don't think you'd like that one, it's a bit far fetched. 'There and Back Again' is a good one, you might like it... 'The Philosopher's Catalyst?' I remember that one, you'd like it. No, 'Tales of Ayrion' isn't very good, it lacks a lot of detail... Hmmm... 'The Romance of the Three Kingdoms'... I don't remember much about that one..." He said, plucking books off the shelves when he saw one to match Seth's answer. Then he turned toward Seth again, setting the books down on the table.

"Alright. We've got a few books now, about six. Now about the others. When you say, 'Anything about then mind and different things that can happen to it,' do you mean Psychology? Or perhaps Psionics? You'll have to specify a bit. Do you want something that deals with how the mind works, or the effects of magic on the mind?" He asked, looking at Seth quizzically.
