Hops x Soulless rp [we are wizards now]

Post by Souless98 »

[Stealing the description from the library page like a boss]
Stack upon pile upon shelf upon trunk of books, scrolls, tablets, parchments, and the skeins of knitted stories from the remote regions of the Arkene are gathered together in the center of learning and knowledge that is the Keep's Library. It is a popular place to study or do research, lit beautifully during daylight from a massive skylight, with a merry fireplace to heat the room and even a glass ceiling over the newer set of rooms. The Library is open at all times of the day and night, as a past Head Librarian found it not worth the effort to attempt to keep out students who'd left their studies to the last moment.

Rows of tables that serve as desks are scattered among the maze of shelving, and the odd chair tucked away in quiet nooks provides a peaceful hideaway for those not feeling sociable. Candles, blank sheets of paper and parchment, bottles of ink and quills are placed conveniently close to hand for ease of use, or perhaps merely carried to some remote corner and left behind when the Magi who brought them became absorbed in a new line of inquiry. Here and there Atramentum cats can be seen lounging sleepily, some sprawled out over the tops of books or curled up in the baskets before the fire while others busy themselves with transcribing the notes of recent travelers.

At one of the tables, a magician has a stack of books, a mix of ancient tomes and newer books and maps, all spread across the workspace they've overtaken. They're tall, with a muscular build and clothes that look more like sleepwear than a proper outfit. A massive bird- a crimson Ilikatal well into adulthood by the looks of it- stands over the back of their chair, talons gripping into the wood and old, deep scratch marks implying this is a long standing tradition for the pair and this library.
Every once in a while the mage will surreptitiously slip a small dried fruit or piece of jerky to one of multiple ratumbidae- little rat/pidgeon chimeras- and sending them off for quills or bits of charcoal or just giving them a little pat.

A thud breaks the peaceful atmosphere as a pile of books are put down on the table next to the wizard. This one seems to be an automaton in once fine but now well-worn clothing. Their research of choice seems to pertain to the care and feeding of magical creatures. A fledgling Psittarx Dragon is gently sat down on the table, and it yawns.

The Ilikatal clicks its beak and leans down to observe the little dragon, and two of the little rat chimera poke their heads out of the many-pocketed coat the mage is wearing. The mage themself looks up, a little startled, and then glances around the room. There are a number of empty tables that could have been taken, but sure. Sit here. Sigh. Alright. "....awful lot of books you've got there." They eventually settle on, ignoring their own large pile of books scattered in a radial pattern around themself.

The automaton looks up for a millisecond and stares at the books fortress that the wizard has erected around their table. "... Are we not in a library?"

They take a book from the top of the pile, before setting the dragon on their lap. For warmth. This awakens the dragon further.
Baps you.

The bird, apparently dissuaded from further exploration by this, makes a low rumbling buhbuhbuh and settles its weight back towards the center of the high backed chair. The wizard does not do a good job of hiding the little smirk that appears on their lips at this. It goes away when the automaton comments, though, because they don't actually have a rebuttal to this. "....sure."

The wizard returns to their own work, which is currently meticulously copying a map down on an empty piece of parchment, held open by some particularly lovely geodes that have little eyes painted onto their tops. Each time they move one of the stones, they give it a little pat.

The automaton blinks for a moment, before they set down to read their books at a ravenous pace. The only thing that waylays them flipping through the pages is their fledgling demanding attention. These demands are met with awkward pats.
Baps you.

"I am reading them, yes." the automaton looks down at the dragon just in to to receive a bap in the face.
...
"I see." they say around the paw currently on their face

"At that age, Psittarx Dragons don't care to do much more than eat and sleep- so if it's giving you trouble... It's probably hungry." Or bored, they don't say, because it's one thing to let trained ratumbidae into the library to do as they're wont to, and a wholly different thing to release a young Psittarx on the wooden shelves and old books. "....do you- want, a bug for it?"
(It's totally not because they're holding a double standard. They're just being logical.)

The automaton awkwardly speaks around the claws gently bapping them in the face. "...I seem to have forgotten any bugs at home."

BAP

"...I would like a bug, please."
Baps you.
