( closed ) i'm at the librarian meeting. i'm at the bowling alley party.

WHO: Miss Boss Lady & her employees (Angela, and Roland, Gebura, Netzach, Yesod)
WHAT: A fun and friendly work party........
WHERE: A bowling alley, just some regular one in District 2
WHEN: Early September (wiggles hands)
WARNINGS: Library of Ruina spoilers, probably.

( Angela technically put the onus on Roland to invite everyone bowling, mostly because she didn't think any of them would want to go with her—so he's probably responsible for gathering them all... but she's responsible for getting there early, despite also telling him "tell me when you go bowling". Her managerial talents just can't leave well enough alone—

Anyway, there's bowling (obviously), so go bowl. She's also been helpful and put out all available food on the counters and tables here, so go crazy. And... for drinks, there's the regular water and soda and such, but there's also several bottles of champagne and matching flutes for it.

She's also taken some CDs and a stereo from one of the shops around the city, so instead of just eerie silence or whatever, there's music. She just grabbed whatever she could find. Don't judge her.

... ... ... ... ...

Anyway, have fun. )

[ Sliding back in here... It's one thing to learn of a future in which the Library, banished after a direct encounter with the Head, releases its collected books for reasons yet to be determined, resulting in all of those people unexpectedly being restored. Angela's explanation now, however, implies that she knowingly withheld the truth when they confronted her early on. Netzach, Malkuth, Hod... They voiced their objections openly then.

It's difficult not to feel upset; Yesod presses his lips together in kind. Still, he stays silent for the time being to examine his thoughts on the matter.

Presumably Angela considered it an irrelevant detail, an unnecessary distinction to make when every reception would feel real, and every death no less so. And yet, consciously storing people in stasis even indefinitely adds another dimension to her chosen approach to pursuing her goals. ]


...Their circumstances are unique, given the involvement of these elements.
