[She keeps it short, mostly because there's really only one important question she has for the moment.]

Where is the library?

And if there is not a library, who has books and would like to share and perhaps trade them?

[She'll ask more if and when anyone answers, and depending on how they answer. If there is anything she's learned in her life, it's that knowledge can be deemed dangerous by people, and there was no way of knowing which those people were.]

[bloominghistorian]

Nor am I. And research is important.

[She didn't shuffle through the papers, choosing instead to neaten them as best she could before tucking them under an arm.]

Send him... where? Where could they have sent him?

[stonefaith]

Not certain. People disappear from here every now and then. No one's been able to figure out where they go. [ shrug. ] I haven't had the time or resources to investigate more fully, though.

[bloominghistorian]

[Her head tilted curiously.]

What do you spend your time and resources on?

[stonefaith]

[ Self-loathing, he thought. And a lot of drinking. ]

Research. Whatever missions and mishaps that the Initiative throws our way. Trying to keep people safe.

To be fair, I haven't had much success in any of those things.

[bloominghistorian]

I'm freshly arrived. Could you tell me more about the missions? And--

[she reached into her bag then, pulling out a book with a bright color and a sailing ship. It had some information on the history of some place by the name of Fishman Island, specifically]

A book for you. To borrow, as agreed.

[stonefaith]

Thank you. [ Bariyan takes the book first, examining the cover, flipping through the first couple pages with interest before he tucks it away under an arm.

Then he sighs, as he recalls the missions. ]

Two so far. One going back in time to defend a village from an invading army.... that later caused problems in this present, leading to the second mission. They tried to send all of us back to another point in time to fix things, but their technology malfunctioned. Some of us wound up trapped in the wrong place and time instead.

[bloominghistorian]

[A head tilt of curiousity]

Where did you end up, if you don't mind me asking?

[stonefaith]

[ He shrugs, scuffs at the ground with a boot. ] Two places. First was Brazil, couple thousand years ago. Then the equipment malfunctioned again, and they sent us to Norway... during approximately the same time period.
