The Librarian

Infinite information, Infinite misinformation, and a whole lotta junk.

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

Greetings.

You can refer to me as "The Librarian" as that is what the few who have been here have called me.

My pronouns are as numerous at the books in the library. it does not matter if they are comprehensible or pronounceable, though if you are speaking I would recommend using the pronounceable ones. aka true all/any.

I have read EVERY waffle recipe.

I can somehow (probably for plot reasons) tell how accurate a book’s information is, if it even contains any.

If I ever say anything after saying “//” that wasn’t me, that was the person on the other side of this wall. *taps the fourth wall twice*

Until fate draws us to meet again!

// Pfp made with this Picrew.

[a mothcritter is visiting. they seem to be looking around the library. this one appears to have given itself fin-like structures and is missing its legs (though does have 6 more wings (a 2x increase compared to most mothcritters))]

Ah welcom back Dixie. How are you doing? *The librarian walks over to the purple critter and crouches a little, offering jajr hand to the critter for pets if the critter so wishes*

[zerenta-mrraow]

[Dixie, of course, accepts the pets with a happy chirp]

(via hologram (as is 99% of critter communication unless otherwise specified): "was just looking for you!"

[The rune, rather than activating properly, flickers and disappears with a descending sound]

"...was valid??"

"manual retrieval may be necessary. book location unfortunate due to timing of appearance."

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

-ing of appearance.

*The Librarian mutters as fvg usually do*

Where is the location of the book that you thought it better to use runes to try to bring it, rather than just bring it along with you?

*Ese ask softly, understanding that these things happen... a lot*

[zerenta-mrraow]

"lower abyss. airtight area, risk was unfortunate water damage if brought outside area."

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

-de area.

Ah, understandable.

I guess it is quite fortunate that I have been meaning to take a venture out of the library for a bit now.

*The Librarian stands back up and does a little stretch*

Sounds like the perfect excuse.

[zerenta-mrraow]

"portal to relevant location is nearby. follow :3"

[Dixie chirps and starts moving. presumably towards a portal]

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

-low.

Lead the way.

*The Librarian starts following Dixie, notably slightly touching every book that kkr can reach, presumably in case zsb any of the books have pertinent information in them.*

[zerenta-mrraow]

[there isnt really anything in the books except for one of them which is orange and keeps changing between random true and false mathematical statements describing matrix multiplication. it briefly freezes on mostly non-information except for the phrase "cant wait to see you!" before continuing]

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

Well, this isn't foreboding at all.

*The Librarian mentally notes the books existenc before going back to following Dixie*

[zerenta-mrraow]

"approaching portal location. tip: do not observe the portal. symptoms are severe."

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

Thanks for warning me.

*The Librarian gets ready to closes qymr eyes*

[one of the upcoming hallways seems to be darker, though the [dark] seems to behave as if it were light, leaking out into the current hallway.]

[dixie does not find this unusual and keeps going]

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

*The Librarian keeps following Dixie*

I am assuming the oddities with the light are, at least, partly due to the portal?

*vyx ask still prepared to close all of gcio eyes*

what has been the best cooking book you’ve found and can I borrow it?

My apologies, but it has been so long since I looked at the cookbooks that I have forgotten which one is the best.

I also tend to find it easier to find a book that contains specific text than to find a book containing non-specific text.

do you have any monkeys working under your institution?

No.

There is no need for monkeys to be working here, as all the books in the Library of Babel have already been written.

*A portal seems to open up in front of you. The portal is too small for anything other than like a book to fit through. That is exactly what flies through, a book. it is seemingly undamaged despite the speed at which it went through the portal. The portal seems to have closed behind the book.*

*The book has a title but it is seemingly gibberish. Most of the text in the book is similarly nothing but random characters. MOST. Three-fourths of the way down page 1 is an extremely accurate depiction of the scenario you are in right now wrighten like the script of a play*

*The inside of the front cover says, "If you found this book after it had been lost, return it to the Library of Babel. It suddenly being flung through a portal counts as it being lost. - The Librarian"*

Hey @babel-librarian-interpreter I found a book!

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

Thank you for informing me.

I will have to arrange a time to leave the library to pick it up. unless, of course, you have the ability to shift along the fourth dimension, though I doubt that you would have that ability.

Not many do after all.

[hungry-faith-interpreter]

*A portal opens up in above the waffle house Hungry is chilling on. The portal is too small for anything other than like a book to fit through. That is exactly what flies through, a book. it is seemingly undamaged despite the speed at which it went through the portal. The portal seems to have closed behind the book.*

*The book has a title but it is seemingly gibberish. Most of the text in the book is similarly nothing but random characters. MOST. in the middle of page 4 is an exact word-for-word copy of what Hungry last posted, just without the emoji*

*The inside of the front cover says, "If you found this book after it had been lost, return it to the Library of Babel - The Librarian"*

*hungry faith is a little surprised by the book* the odds of me getting my own words…. *they carefully close as to not damage it* I’ll figure out how to return that soon…..

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

Why do some of the shelves look sparse right now?

*look at a calendar* oh I forgot about that.

*sigh* Why did a book that says a bunch of the other books here will randomly teleported around space and time today have to be accurate?

well, time to wait for some people to start coming by to return them.

I sure am glad i stated put those notes on the back of the covers.

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

I am really glad that my muttering habit doesn't come through in text.

I tend to say what the person I am speaking with says at the same time as them... I can't help the fact that I read the script already.

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

[A book has fallen off one of the shelves. It is open to pages 3 and 4]

Ah. so that book is happening now. noted.

These "photonicusbablius" they remind me of the gallery. Perhaps I should go there again soon. It has been a while. I am getting off topic.

I guess THIS book wasn't lying. I mean, I knew it wasn't but... yeah.

[zerenta-mrraow]

"nice gender where'd you get it"

"library of babel"

"what?"

"library of babel."

"w-which page?"

"I don't know"

"how do you not know"

"didn't you get yours from a school of fish"

"yeah but that's besides the point"

"do YOU know what fish you got it from?"

"..."

[chirp]

"I literally just want to understand what you have you going on here"

"and so do I, figure it out, dipshit :3"

[babel-librarian-interpreter]

One of the SEVERAL places in the library this post can be found is Here.

I do remember helping [Purple] find a gender in the library. I have forgot which book it was in though.
