[Dr Crane has returned to the Plane. This time, with a library.]

[a four-floor private library]

[stolen, of course]

As promised. I'm afraid I didn't have an opportunity to get to it until recently, but here it is to stay.

[This is now Jonathan's favourite heist ever]

[ooc: The library will not be given back to its rightful owner ever, because Scarecrow refuses. The library, like the bar and the kitchen, will replace removed items if these items are not returned. As with the bar and the kitchen, the book you get as a replacement very likely won't be the book you took away]

Are there books about my legend?

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[this is unusual]

I should call Cobblepot and tell him his walking stick has walked away.

[Orel stares for a moment before grinning, as always, because he is constantly happy.]

Wow.

[This is currently all he has to say. He's never seen a library this big, okay.]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[rather pleased with himself]

You can borrow from it what you like, of course.

[stealing an entire library! Who does he think he is, Carmen Sandiego???]

You've stolen a library. My only surprise is that it's taken you this long.

Tell me though, how have you managed to do that while you were meant to be keeping tabs on the asylum in my absence?

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[happily]

Don't be afraid, Dr Arkham. It's part of the plan.

[Where there are books, Reinette is sure to follow. She is perusing the shelves, looking for what might spark her interest]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[Jonathan doesn't interrupt her, even if he's curious; one must never interrupt someone who is looking at books. It's simply not right]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Oooh. Not as big as the one in Sanctuary, but hey a library is a library.]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

What do you think?

[he is so obviously very happy about these books]

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[an inquisitive look, followed by a raised eyebrow]

Impressive.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

I like it. It is not the largest library in the world, but I think it's adequate for this.

[elegantthestars.livejournal.com]

[books. actual books. lots and lots of actual books. Inara stares at them, running her fingers over the tomes carefully, a soft smile on her lips]

This is quite the collection, Dr Crane.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[Jonathan Crane approves of people who appreciate books]

I think it will make a suitable addition to the Plane's collection of necessities.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Have a wide eyed Greek girl clutching a sword, WTF IS THAT] ...Wow.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Child?

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Interesting! A library can exist here as well? Then, point me to the history books and atlases. I could learn about what has happened in my absence without Waver.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[you know, dude, you're tall even by Crane's standards]

I believe the atlases are on the fourth floor. There should be a large globe in the middle of a few rows of books. The history books will be nearby. I can show you, if you would like.

[weerweer.livejournal.com]

[holy shit]

So. Books.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Some on birds and on madmen, if you are interested.

[Just. Stares. So much paper. So many books.]

[... He hasn't really ever gotten a chance to really read anything. So he picks out an easier-looking mythology book with... pictures... and starts flipping through it.]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[have they even invented literacy when you're from, Ryu?]

[On that note, Crane will pretend to be a friendly librarian, not a psycho one who would kill you for hurting books]

Are you searching for anything in particular?

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[Remus is looking around with an awed, downright gleeful smile]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[it's okay, Crane's a happy Scarecrow too]

Feel free to borrow what you like.

just felt the need to share
