Library Mingle Log

[foundafamily]

Who: Everyone!
Where: The Library
When: Throughout their time in Struxta
Rating: PG, will edit if this changes
What: The Circle gets together for some research on what this place is all about. Please treat this like a mingle log--feel free to put up a starter and tag around!

The Library (hopefully) promises to have the answers that the Welcome Committee and the general robot on the street don't. Characters can access the information by computer, and the Library has just about everything that's happened in Struxta.

That's thousands of years of information to wade through, so get to work!

[ooc: As it says above, please feel free to put up your own starter and tag around! Characters can have heard others chatting about the library or been told about it by the Welcome Committee or have just wandered in. If you come across anything of interest that you'd like me to edit into or link in the main post, please just let me know.]

I'm used of being surround by nature. The only time I was somewhere where there was next to no nature, was when I was at the Wall. But you could see the forest from the top of it.

[Even this place was more to his liking that the world they had landed on. It wasn't the first spot in Westeros he would choose to live but would prefer it over the Nations of Struxta at any time.]

You know the absence of any weather is eerie. No sun, no wind. Well I doubt that rain is a thing here because of all the technology. [At least there was a visible change of day and night. A small consolation but still one.]

[foundafamily]

I'm with you there. I wouldn't have thought something like that could be possible.

[He suppresses an internal shudder and thinks back to what Tyrion had said before.]

What's the Wall?

[smallprince]

The Wall is what protected the Seven Kingdoms from the North of Westeros. It is around three hundred miles long and around seven hundred feet tall. It's entirely made of ice and stands since thousands of years. It's really impressive. And when you stay on top of it, you get the impression that you are standing on the top of the world.

[Whenever Tyrion thought about the wall, he also thought of Jon Snow and their journey together to the wall.]

Brave men serve there to protect the Seven Kingdom from what lives in the North.

[Tyrion thought that it was better to refer to everyone in Castle Black as 'brave men' instead of saying what they really were. But he had seen them and when he thought about what they were going to fight against, it was just right to say that they were 'brave men'. Perhaps the bravest ones in Westeros.]

[Firo tried to imagine it, but his mind was coming up short.]

Ice? How come it didn't melt?

[smallprince]

I believe that when it was build there was some kind of magic involved. Back in that time magic was more common in my world. But it does from time to time melt but not much. The men of the watch call it "the wall is weeping".

I bet it is hard to image such a wall. I was in awe when I have seen it for the first time.

[Tyrion thought back of the moment when he was close to say to his father that is going to the wall. He would have probably died a short time after he would have arrived. The wall was not a place for a dwarf or anyone who was sane and treasured his life.]

[foundafamily]

They couldn't have found a less creepy way to say that, huh?

[A massive, icy, crying wall... You're damn right that's hard to imagine.]

So there's magic back where you're from too..? Hey, why'd they need a wall made of ice anyway? What about stones?

[And why a wall at all? Who's in the North that they're so worried about?]
