cempöhualliomöme. Coyolxauhqui's Rules for the Book Depository

[leadsthestars]

We will have rules for the library; we will have order. These rules and penalties will be enforced. All who enter the library will be aware of these conditions

[removeyourfear]

I wish you luck in enforcing any of this nonsense.

[leadsthestars]

You are very cynical. It is not nonsense. The books are sacred.

[removeyourfear]

They are paper and ink, nothing more.

[leadsthestars]

They are stories. They are ideas. They are knowledge.

If you do not respect knowledge, then you are not just cynical, but stupid.

[gloriesinchaos]

This all sounds very wise. Especially the heart sacrifices.

[leadsthestars]

It is good that you agree. It is for everyone's benefit.

[gloriesinchaos]

Mm.

Coyolxauhqui, isn't it? My sister's spoken glowingly of you.

[leadsthestars]

Yes, I am Coyolxauhqui.

You are Persephone's sister?

[leadsthestars]

Who is Dr Armbruister? And I have my ways.

[leadsthestars]

If he was successful, then he would not need heart sacrifice. I hope not to punish too many people.

[whattheytellyou]

Heart sacrifice, huh?

[leadsthestars]

Yes. To those who commit serious crimes in the library.

[whattheytellyou]

You don't feel that might be a little extreme?

[leadsthestars]

...no. Should I?

[19centconstable]

Why would anyone bring a fire into a library? Or how, even?

[leadsthestars]

I have seen the things that set fire to cigarettes. I do not want them in the library.

[19centconstable]

Matches, you mean? I do agree about the smoking, by the way, it's a terrible idea to do that sort of thing around dry, old papers. Is this something people here really have to be told?

[leadsthestars]

Matches! Yes!

And yes, I must tell them. Some people are not so clever.
