[A note appears on the board, in ludicrously ornate penmanship because this is important. There's an earlier draft on the other side of the piece of paper, written in High Gothic, which was done before Sanguinius remembered most Imperial citizens couldn't understand or read it. So here it is again, in good, copperplate Low Gothic.]

Some of us, in our time here, have picked up skills to acquire things from the books.

If you are in need of such things, please leave a note detailing the item you want and the best type of book to find it in, and a way to reach you.

If you have other skills that might be useful to some here, please add a note stating what you can offer.

While we are trapped here, we must help each other. It is our best chance to survive and prosper while we can.

The strong have a duty to shield the weak, and the gifted a responsibility to aid those in need.

((ooc: this is a sort of general catch all--if you have a skill others might want to use, use this as a barter board, and if someone posts something they need, don't think Sanguinius has to answer all of them--feel free to jump in! ))

Who: Hisako and YOU
What: Scrying, or trying to look at what's happening in canon. She can only get still, frozen images or nothing, but she can get them of your canon if you cooperate!
When: Vague time!
Where: Garden
Content warnings: minor self-harm to a purpose (to use blood magic)

[Putting on airs for the heck of it, Hisako leaves this on a paper, painted with a brush on the bulletin board. She'll return and take it down after making her scrying effort.]

Attend my words, for this humble scribe is a sometime seer. Among my talents is to peer into another realm, even should the twain be sundered, and therefore discover what transpires in my absence. Only come to the garden and you may see this, should you behave. Behave well enough, and only ask, and I will help you see just what you are missing as well.

Those who fear the sight of skin and blood, and those who love them without restraint, are invited not to attend. On very good authority I have it that my skin is well enough, and that my blood is lacking.

- Your most lovely flapper, Hisako.

Bulletin Post #1

holiestlove: (brown jacket)
Hello one and all,

My name is Jonathan Harker, some of you may know me, others may not. In my world, I worked as a solicitor's clerk for many years before becoming a proper solicitor. That said, I am rather good at gathering information and putting it into a proper order. The reason I write this is I have a project in mind to hopefully help us in the future.

To those who were part of the story that we experienced recently. I would like to meet with you to gather information on what you recalled or did not. I do understand it may be embarrassing for some, so I will accept anonymous information as well.

I can be found in the Maker space if you would rather speak in person. Thank you all for your time.

-Jonathan

[ The letter is tacked to the Bulletin, written in very fine script.]

Привет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)

Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.

I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!

С Новым Годом, and welcome home!

EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!

Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️

Hello everyone! It is time for our Activity Check!

Activity check runs from December 31 - January 7.
Activity check period is from December 1 - December 31.

Check-in AC is 5 comments. Please note that check-in AC is meant to be for those times where the month’s just gotten away from you. Due to the nature of this game being influenced by character actions and activity, if you are consistently only reaching check-in AC, the mods may reach out. For the month of December, check-in is a simple comment to this post!

Base AC is:
10 comments in 1 thread, or
15 comments spread across a maximum of 4 threads.

Base AC will earn your character 1 skill point. Bonus AC will earn an additional 1 skill point.

Bonus AC is in addition to Base AC, and threads used to claim Base AC cannot be used to claim Bonus AC.

Bonus AC is:
10 comments in 1 thread that has not been used to claim Base AC, or
15 comments spread across a maximum of 4 threads that have not been used to claim Base AC.

So for example, if you submit:
Base AC - 10 comments in 1 thread
+
Bonus AC - 15 comments across 3 other threads
Then you will earn 2 skill points for the AC period.

TDM threads are acceptable for one proof (either Base or Bonus AC).

Having trouble meeting AC? Please let us know! Since we are still refining things we want to make it reasonable, and we are happy to help if you’re having difficulty.

If you are using an icon mule account for any of the threads, PLEASE let us know and supply the username!

Don’t forget to claim your skills!
Skill points can be banked and do not need to be used in the same AC period where they are earned.

[At some handwave-y time shortly after the closing of the Story, a note in an workmanlike cursive hand goes up on the bulletin board:]

If you need a change of clothing, I can make simple tunics and trousers that won't disappear.

Find me:


[A simple doodle of Illarion's face follows: Pointy ears, long hair, blindfold (or veil), malar stripes. Enough to go on when most of the Library is human.

It is signed below the doodle with an eye-and-feather symbol. No name.
]

IC UPDATE:

[A few hours after the initial post goes up, an additional sheet of paper is appended to it:]

Payment is not necessary but if you're one of those who can make or find permanent items, you can bring one of the following:

- Fabric
- Thread or gut
- Head/round knife
- Awl
- Leathering needle
- Raising hammer
- Pliers
- Portable anvil
- Hides or leather

NO glitter. We have plenty.

QUICK UPDATE

Hello everyone! Just a quick update to let everyone know the schedule for the next little bit.

Judging from the poll, January 9th is what people prefer for the next Library log, so that is when it will be! As a result, the poll for the next Story will close January 2nd and apps will close January 23rd. AC will go up Wednesday, December 31st.

Hope everyone has had a good holiday/s and a happy new year!

The Laundry Mingle

Dec. 29th, 2025 09:38 am[personal profile] ugh_emotions posting in [community profile] unfinishedlibrary

Who: Anyone!
What: LAUNDRY.
When: Anytime after the return from Woodhurst. Can also be forward dated! Basically this can be anytime between the last and next Story
Where: The living facilities, or anywhere else characters might attempt laundry related stuffs
Content warnings: Include as needed in comment headers

At this point, a number of the Library's inhabitants had been here (for a nebulous definition of 'here') for over two months now. Others were newly arriving, still getting their bearings. But the thing was, at this point something was clearly becoming a bit of a problem.

Laundry.

No one had anything other than the clothes they brought on their backs. There was one singular clothes washing machine, and it was, quite frankly, complete shit. It made weird noises. It leaked frequently. It never seemed to actually finish washing the clothes.

So, cleaning clothes was...an issue. But humans - and sentient organic beings, and even - ugh - constructs needed to figure it out, because if they didn't they were all going to be fucking disgusting.

(Well, more disgusting than organic bits usually were, anyway.)


[[ooc: so yeah! How is your character dealing with The Laundry problem? Are they even doing laundry? Are they dressing themselves in bedsheets? Finding other creative ways to get more clothes to wear? Basically, this is just a general catch-all mingle for everyone to detail characters dealing with some basic hygiene.]]
