Train Library!

[runs_on_batteries]

Since Peter has failed at his duty of librarian, Ignis has very graciously taken on this duty. Ash and Feanor have built shelves at the front of the standard carriage where a portion of chairs went mysteriously missing (i.e. Tony destroyed them). Anyway, so Ignis is keeping track of what books are available to borrow, who they originally belong to, and who currently has them.



[Please reply below with the name and description of any book your character is willing to loan to the library. Anyone who wants to use a book from this list may do so and it's simply handwaved that they're borrowing it.

If for any reason, your character is being a dick and purposefully not returning a book, give me or Ignis' mun a heads up. (But limit this please).]

Character's Name: Lightning

Book Title: Diary of a Voidtrecker
Book Description: A travel journal. It is typed but uses a font designed to make it look old fashioned, as if it were a diary from years long past.

It is written by a wealthy young woman who has set out on a journey to travel through the worlds. She has a great interest in botany. It is clear pretty quickly that though this woman is indeed trecking through the void she is not doing so on the Voidtrecker Express. Instead she seems to be on some kind of tourist cruise train. Expansive ballrooms, fine dining, her own personal carriage.

There are many notes on various worlds, all different and strange. If Lightning reads through it she will find a whole five chapters on Ciyesia and the healing flowers. The Weary Wanderer is mentioned but there is no mention of Albany or the children, indeed the proprietor of the inn is called Mehdi and is a grizzled farmer who grumbles good naturedly but is happy to share his knowledge of the mountain with the author.

There are other worlds and places mentioned, most of her stories are about flowers and plants and biology. It is a fascinating read if that is what you are interested in.

Book Title: When the Voidtrecker Came to Town (graphic novel)
Book Description: It tells the story of Kierce, a teenager who lives with his little sister (Ama) and his dad in a city. The city is pretty vaguely described, but has a reasonable technology level and the characters depicted in the pages span a large range of races and species.

The novel starts one early morning, Keirce and Ama bickering over breakfast, their dad telling them to knock it off and then them all leaving to work and school. Kierce walks Ama to school before getting on a flying transporter shuttle to his own school.

He is in maths class when the lesson is interrupted. A woman in a purple hoodie bursts into the room and announces that they have to evacuate. The teacher is not too cooperative but she insists, claiming that if they do not leave they will die. Kierce and his friend Siana get up and announce that they are going to do what she says. The class follows.

They rush out of the building not a moment too late as just as they clear the grounds a huge craft crashes into the school, exploding.

An alien, aggressive force has invaded. The novel follows Kierce and Siana as they try and make their way to the school their younger siblings are at. At the through the story you see voidtreckers. A team of orange hoodie wearing people trying to clear a bridge of a crashed transporter, desperately trying to save the people inside. Red wearing people fighting huge robotic creatures.

They arrive at the school to find it already destroyed. Most of the children are outside already but Ama is no where to be found. Just as it seems all is lost a blue hoodie-wearing man stumbles out of the wreckage, Ama in his arms. The siblings are reunited, the aliens defeated and they follow the void treckers out of the city where an emergency camp is being constructed. It ends with them reuniting with their father and learning that though unfortunately not everyone made it out alive it was doubtful anyone would have survived if it wasn't for the voidtreckers, the attack wasn't by a known enemy, it had come out of the blue.

It has a post script.

When the Voidtrecker comes to town is not a true story, but is based on the events of many true moments. The Voidtreckers are there to help you, if you see one know your world is in danger. Just like Kierce and Ama and their friends you must listen and do what they say. They are there to help. Hopefully the Voidtreckers will never need to come to your town, but if they do. Be ready, be smart and know they will do their best to save you all.
