Scroll 03

[fateful_chains]

It would appear that I am now employed here - as a librarian. While I don't mind being around books for much of the day, I find it odd that all of the drones are treating me as if I have been working there for years. I take it this is, ah, "normal" for Mayfield

Comments

[hateslonglines]

If I recall correctly from when I worked there, there are also geographical books that are all written from America's point of view.

[fateful_chains]

Oh? I shall have to see if I can find these.

Thank you.

[pooka_prince]

I'm afraid 'tis so. They wouldn't even let me in the door, I'm afraid... No "dogs" allowed.

[fateful_chains]

Prince Cornelius...

[pooka_prince]

'tis alright. Being mistaken for a dog is hardly the worst one can suffer in this place. I should count myself fortunate!

[fateful_chains]

No. 'Tis unacceptable for you to be treated in such a way!

[sacred_thunder]

It is. When I received my job as a teacher, they had been acting like I had been teaching since the beginning of the school year.

And the library definitely contains more than that. I've spent a sizable amount of time browsing the history books, myself.

[fateful_chains]

I suppose I should be shocked, but... 'tis not surprising, in this place.

History? What land's history, I wonder...?

[sacred_thunder]

The United States of America. There are some books about foreign history, but they're all written from an American perspective.

[fateful_chains]

Is this the same America as the man that is also trapped here?

[is_an_island]

They also have some books about embroidering.

[fateful_chains]

Ah, yes. I suppose things such as that would fit into the expectations of women here in this place.

[is_an_island]

No, I... read them.

[fateful_chains]

O-oh! Were they useful to you?

[sanctusdei]

It doesn't get any better if you work there. You can still only find books based on whatever the town thinks you should be studying. It's infuriating.

[fateful_chains]

...'Tis what I had feared.

[sanctusdei]

At least it's quiet there. That's something. Mayfield returned my books to me so I just bring those to read when I want.

[fateful_chains]

Yes. There are much worse things than being surrounded by books.
