Rune grins at Phi as the shelves slowly stop moving.

"Thank you!!!!!!! I don't get the concept of "norms" by any means, I mean except for the definition but it is something I could never get!"

A bright glowing circle appears on the wall of the library. The portal sits for a second before a a short bird folk comes flying through with an excited laugh! They land on the tiled floor, dusting the chalk off their scarf with a white feathered wing.

Phi peers at their surroundings with a sly smile! Seemed inhabited! Probably a pocket universe…

{ 🪶 @mythicfieldwork }

Once again they're busy sorting books for the.......they should really count how many times they've done this. It's still as engrossing to them as ever as they don't notice the bright circle, and is gleefully sucked into their work until they hear the laugh.

Head quickly turning, they wonder, another guest? How do so many people get in here without me noticing??? Though I don't mind the company...

"Hello there?! Who....or what, are you!?"

[runes-hideaway]

"Not as far as I'm aware! I'm not even sure what a me is at this point!"

The shelves start to move, seemingly by themselves, into different positions and orders around them.

[runes-hideaway]

Rune starts counting on their fingers, "One....two....three....four...."

"I'm not sure how many centuries! I've stopped counting after awhile, though maybe that could of been useful for research..."

Once again, Rune doesn't realize the implications of what they say.

[runes-hideaway]

"It is!!! But it's supposed to contain all the knowledge I've gained over the centuries which is..."

Rune takes a look into the infinite shelves then back at Phi.

"A lot!"

[runes-hideaway]

Raising their head from the pile, they shake their head. "No need! I've been working on cleaning everything for hundreds of years, but I can assure you-!"

Lavender energy flows around their hands and places most of the books within Phi's sight back on their shelves. "That I'll get this WHOLE place clean soon!!!"

If Phi looks into the rows of shelves, wait where do they end and begin?

[runes-hideaway]

"YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rune is vibrating from joy before their face drops.

They forgot one thing.

One very important thing.

"I NEED TO CLEAN THIS PLACE-"

Off into a pile of books they go to arrange it, as if everything would be clean by the next time Phi is here.

[runes-hideaway]

Rune turns to Phi with a wide, fanged smile, looking more excited than they'd ever been in their life!

They jump away from the books and leap right infront of Phi.

"YOU WILL?????"

[runes-hideaway]

Rune tilts their head at the motion they'd lock people up, that was never something they'd thought of???

"How would I??? The only soul in here is me, well now you too. But still!..........Which is also why I don't have any research assistants sadly enough.."

Rune's face drops as they try to avoid looking at Phi, hoping she doesn't notice how sad they look.

"You've already met them silly!"

Rune goes back to organizing their books, not aware of the importance of what they just said at all.

Rune thinks for a moment, they thought their mental health was good?

"Mental health is satisfactory! Don't worry!"

[runes-hideaway]

Putting a finger to their chin, they think for a moment.....proper conduct.............what was that again?

OH RIGHT!

"Trust me, I've made sure my subject is unharmed and in peak physical health as far as I'm aware of~!"

"Let's see...."

Another dive into the pile of books and retrieving another one to scan. "So far.....it's been daily examinations of the subject. So far I've determined that a person using magical items becomes more reflexive in their usage with higher output the more magical they are, so with the subject, I've had them use a variety of magical devices and measure it's performance. With frequent changing of the items so they can't get accustomed to any of them."

Rune throws the book back onto the pile, "And by all means their performance has increased in both time and output!! Which should suggest that they're becoming more magical themselves..."

[runes-hideaway]

"YES-"

Then Rune pauses for a moment, thinking they got excited before they cough. "I mean- Yes! Right now, I am looking into the effects of prolonged exposure of magic on a biological creature. So far......"

Rune dives into a pile of books, literally, until they come back to the surface with a book and scan it quickly. "Found it! Transformation of organic material into magical energy!"

[runes-hideaway]

Rune shakes Phi's wing with a paw very vigorously.

"Thank you!!! And I admit I don't specialize in creatures myself, one of my research topics is how magic affects organic biological creatures!"

Rune's resisting stimming as they speak, excited at the notion that they could get some help in their very personal research they've been pursuing for a long while.

[runes-hideaway]

So polite! Rune thinks they will like this guest!

"Ah yes! This is my pocket universe! Since I made it! Though I'm unfamiliar with a beastiary guild...."

They had studied different creatures before, but a whole guild for them?? How exciting!!

"Nice to meet you Phi! I'm Rune!!"

[runes-hideaway]

Finally, they had some company in the archives that wasn't of their own creation!

They could get used to this, they think as they get ready to conjure the best party possible for them and their new friend.

[A loud giggling comes from inbetween the bookshelves, like a mischievous child under a blanket. The sound travels around Rune, shifting and spinning.]

As they write in their newest notebook, their ears flick as they register a sound.

A visitor? How? Wait where is the visitor? Their head turns from one side to the other over and over as they try to pin the noise down, and currently failing. They jump from their seat to an empty space on the floor, trying to spot the visitor.

"Hiii? I can't find you, but I hope you're nice! I'm Rune!"
