Resources? We got ur resources

[A note appears on the board, in ludicrously ornate penmanship because this is important. There's an earlier draft on the other side of the piece of paper, written in High Gothic, which was done before Sanguinius remembered most Imperial citizens couldn't understand or read it. So here it is again, in good, copperplate Low Gothic.]

Some of us, in our time here, have picked up skills to acquire things from the books.

If you are in need of such things, please leave a note detailing the item you want and the best type of book to find it in, and a way to reach you.

If you have other skills that might be useful to some here, please add a note stating what you can offer.

While we are trapped here, we must help each other. It is our best chance to survive and prosper while we can.

The strong have a duty to shield the weak, and the gifted a responsibility to aid those in need.

((ooc: this is a sort of general catch all--if you have a skill others might want to use, use this as a barter board, and if someone posts something they need, don't think Sanguinius has to answer all of them--feel free to jump in! ))

Do you mind being a ladder?

[he has to ask. he thought of it so he has to ask.]

I would like to approached respectfully, and my assistance requested.

Naturally.

Would you be open to discussing conditions under which you could be used as an emergency ladder.

[Guilliman has, at least, had plenty of practice throwing logic to the wind and just letting things happen.]

We will begin by agreeing on what we mean by "emergency".

I would ordinarily defer to the common legal definition -- to wit, an occurrence or threat thereof that would cause substantial injury or harm to persons or property -- but I am realizing as I pen this that any such occurrence inside the Library will be immediately and largely painlessly reverted.

We may need to revise our definitions. We may need to settle for smaller unpleasantnesses.

Yes. I have been informed that the library will interfere in physical altercations. To a point where my brother is concerned about engaging in a friendly spar.

Alternative proposal: A verbal alert, and pre-determined boundaries? A second or so of notice should suffice.
unsheathedfromreality: (though i feel)

I hadn't considered that restriction might apply. Sounds like a supposition worth testing.

This is agreeable to me as well.


[This does mean he'll need to test it. Eventually.]

Proposal: "Mount inbound."

I will additionally request that you do not damage my neck, my interface ports, or the filtration hardware that may accompany me.

I would not enjoy that.

[It's time for MATH. Okay if he's that tall, and presuming he's not built like a piece of cappellini, and adjusting for wind shear or whatever. The results are in: Holy space mangos. You are a Big Boy.]

They better start reinforcing the floors around here.

Just sayin'.

I have not noticed any signs of structural instability.

My theoretical is that the library's warpcraft will prevent anything of the sort. Supporting observation: Structural elements change size to accommodate different scales of patron.
