Rainbows loom

[Nephrite]

"Hello." Moore says. "My name is Moore, Duke of Songs of Celestia, in service to Lord Erathaol of the Hebdomad. I am in search of knowledge and lore and I read about Greenwood."

[Anastasia]

At this there is no reply, but no force stopping you, either.

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." Moore says as he again proceeds!

[Anastasia]

You step in...and appear in a room of mirrors. Mirrors all around you, showing the party many times over. Some show you as normal, some show you too tall or too wide. Others show you in different colors while one shows you nude. Another shows you as the opposite gender, while yet another portrays you as figments of light. So many mirrors here, the only gap a simple door ahead.

[Nephrite]

Peculiar...

Moore proceeds ahead to the door to attempt to open it!

Hopefully there are no riddles or puzzles this time...

[Anastasia]

Jetina blushes lightly but ignores a certain mirror, as Kaja comes along.

"Strange," he remarks as the door opens. A chime sounds followed by, "Hello there!" A voice calls from down a hall, no one seen. "I'm being told you're Duke Moore. Come on down, this is a bit of pageantry."

[Nephrite]

"Hello!" Moore returns the greeting. "I apologize for showing up uninvited, it's a bit difficult to find a name associated with this particular place -- probably intentionally, so I wasn't able to announce my intent before this."

He proceeds down the hall!

[Anastasia]

As you walk down, another door ahead? "Well, why don't you tell me why you're here in the first place?"

[Nephrite]

"I'm trying to finish a rather detailed arcane project." Moore explains as he heads for the door. "I did research into various libraries and places that might contain information that could help me with it, and found some writings on this one, so I decided to pursue it. A few adventures here and there later and here I am."

[Anastasia]

"Oh, so you want to learn more," Is the answer, "Well, we can work something out if you made the effort to find this place."

[Nephrite]

"That's the long and short of it." Moore says as he goes to open the door. "I'd be happy to hear about the history of this particular place, if you're up for sharing it, as well as who you are."

[Anastasia]

It opens into a loose forest - more open space with lots of tall oak trees. Each oak tree has a face - alive, a treant of some kind you believe. It stretches on farther than you can see.

"It's said Queen Morwel has a library like this," The voice says. A little pixie, no bigger than you. It's a female pixie, who switches voices entirely. She has blonde hair and a ready smile, "Hi!" she says, "I'm Mini and I work here. I didn't know a pixie could be a Duke, but then I saw you outside and I just had to let you in and boss agreed, so here we are," she darts forward, wearing a riot of purple, blue, orange and pink clothes. You get a pixie hug, "Everyone must be so proud of you!"

[Nephrite]

Moore gives Mini a pat on her back to return the hug. "I'm not sure about everyone, but I certainly have my work cut out for me." He says. "It's a bit of a story as to how I ended up where I did, I'm sure it's the same for you -- working in a place like this must carry with it an awful lot of stories just by its very nature. Are you at liberty to explain things to me, or would your boss prefer to do that?"

[Anastasia]

Jetina smiles at that hug, watching, while Kaja looks about.

"Oh, I can tell you about everything except what I'm not supposed to, which is the secret level and how to break out of the boundaries," Mini says, "I'm especially supposed to tell you that services, favors and arcana are expected of course, but I'm sure you knew that coming in and cooperating or not these things have value, and things that have value require payment or favors, like when I get someone a drink that's a tiny little favor, but when I save a life that's a really big favor."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "All right, that all makes sense. Well, I'm not really... sure how to figure out the price since I'm not sure how much what I'm looking for here is worth, but we can figure that out as we go. I'm sure we can conduct business beyond what I'm seeing as well."
