[ Since about, oh, Valentine’s day, Lirael has been even more withdrawn than usual. She hasn’t been seen outside her room much and hasn’t really been interacting with even her housemates due to near fatal embarrassment.

This little message is brought to you by her need to bury her existential angst in work.

She would have preferred to just send out a text message but figures she might be more likely to get a response from someone if they can see who they’re dealing with, but she’s obviously not very comfortable with it.

As she speaks she glances downward every now and again, reading from a little note with a pre-written speech on. ]

People have jobs here, right?

I would very much like one.

I’m a Second Assistant Librarian in the Great Library of the Clayr where I come from, and I am also a quite capable mage. I’ll even do housework for people if anyone needs that.

I’m good with animals, and decent with a bow and arrows. I know how to use a sword.

I don’t know if any of this is considered useful here but if so feel free to contact me, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

I've been trying to organize the library. [ The... whole library, Twi? There are a lot of books taken off their shelves in the background. ] I haven't found the librarians here, yet. Would you like to help?

[keyandstar]

[ Organize all the things? ]

I can definitely do that.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ ALL OF THE THINGS. ] Great! I'm in the main reading room today.

[keyandstar]

My sister will be taking me to the stables, but I would be happy to come over when I'm done there depending on how long you were intending to stay.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Probably most of the day. Take your time!

[keyandstar]

I'm Lirael.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Twilight Sparkle. It's a pleasure!

[keyandstar]

Likewise. I hope I won't get in your way.

[ Someone has some minor insecurities going on. Ahem. ]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Not at all! I'd really appreciate any help I could get. Particularly if you're more familiar with any of these worlds than I am!

[keyandstar]

I'm only really familiar with my own, but I'll do my best to help you bring some order to the chaos. The library I used to work in has some pretty odd things in it too.

feel free to move to action if you like at any time

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Things that weren't books?

Yay :D [Sneaks over to action]

[keyandstar]

Rather a lot of things that weren't books, actually. I can tell you more later, I should probably get going now. I'll be seeing you!

[ And true to her word she does show up at the library, looking for the purple pony.

Now there's something she'd never thought she'd be doing, in spite of all the odd things she's seen. ]

[ Twilight's sitting in one of the front rooms with a book and a mug of cider. She's staring at the window thinking of home when Lirael enters the room, and Twilight shakes herself out of her reverie to wave at her. ]

Over here, Lirael!

[keyandstar]

[ Have a shy wave back, and a pleased little smile that Twilight remembers her name. ]

Hello.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight gets up and trots over to meet her. ] So, where do you want to start? Everywhere needs some sort of reworking, at this point!
