A. Knowledge Is Magic [ You’ll find the Ancient among the books in the upper levels of the library - Currently he’s browsing a book on Legends and Myths he’s found, a small snake with a cheerful red bandana around its neck at his side looking around curiously. He’s so engrossed in reading that he might not notice you. Say hello! Or not. You’re an adult.]
B. Knowledge Is Magic Part 2 [ Hermes is still exploring the stacks with Caduceus at his side, the small snake being ever present in case its master needs messages sent - However, he seems a little different. By different we mean he is covered in owls, no doubt taking advantage of his kindness in distributing snacks to them and effectively making the tall man a scarecrow. They seem to be leading him towards the science area when they’re not perched on him and receiving treats. While Hermes isn’t exactly thrilled at being an impromptu perch, he at the very least seems resigned to it. ]
I don’t suppose one of you can point out which book I should be reading?
[ One of the owls tilts its head and softly hoots. Fine, keep your feathered secrets.]
C. Immersed in Books [ Hermes finds himself sitting as comfortably as he can against a bookshelf, yet another book in hand. ] The tale of Snow White… [ He takes a bite of a candied apple he’d brought as a treat for himself (not for owls) as he reads the book. He can’t help but find himself engrossed in the story, telling himself he was looking between the lines for clues, but somehow compelled to read more. He pauses at the part when Snow White encounters the wicked Queen to have a small coughing fit. ]
Hn, I must have swallowed wrongly… [ He keeps reading a bit more… He can suddenly feel a tickle at his throat… Surely he wasn’t catching a cold… He tries to continue reading but the words start going in and out of focus as he suddenly shoots upright, clutching at his neck. ]
Hngh…
[ He teeters for a moment, the bleed from the storybook convincing him he’s been poisoned by the candied apple he’d packed himself, before he collapses like a rock, half-eaten apple rolling stickily away. There’s a small frantic snake circling him as he lays there. Will someone save this poor princess man? ]
