Veronica Argyle's Links
La-la, could you please stop scaring the patrons? We're trying to be low-key!
(Oh God, Viola, I'm so sorry. I was too late.)
Hehe. You have no sense of humour, Ronnie! It was just some harmless fun :P
(I never have to leave now! It was worth being murdered. I love you, sis)
It's your own fault. Viola wouldn't be half as bad without your influence, Tomino. Maybe this curse will give you a new 'perspective', ohoho...
Come on, Ica, you're totally overreacting! It was just a little joke, you didn't need to put this shrinking curse on me :(
I think you might be a gorgon, Zania, but we'd need to look into it. However; no matter what you are, you are welcome in my library. This place was meant for people like us. You'll be safe here.
A gorgon? Ahaha, like Medusa, right? I'd make sense for me to be related to such a beautiful woman. ☆ I'm kidding, but that's so cool. Thank you.
There is something deeply unsettling about this one... should I have helped him, I wonder?
She's pretty, to say the least. I reaaally like her hair. Bet it smells like berries. <3
I wonder if she could help me out some more.
Yes, that's alright. There should be some pins by the cork board. (This girl looks familiar... Like that shapeshifter I met before.)
Is it alright if I put these flyers up? You see, my father's been missing for quite some time...
(You look like you know something... Do you?)
I have... mixed feelings. My prison. My sanctuary. My home. Within these walls, I lived long enough to see myself accepted by society. I suppose my life could be worse.
Owner/Head Librarian
Sam! It's been an absolute joy having them around part time. They're a big help. Oh, cookies? Thank you so much!
My boss! Seymour baked cookies for you for being so kind and considerate toward me. They're a new recipe he learnt from his girlfriend... I hope you like them.
[she looks away and covers a smile with the back of her hand, a softness in her eyes and a blush on her cheeks] I am undeniably fond of Roxanna... I hope we continue to go steady
[she seems to be awestruck for a moment at the thought of Veronica, her breath even absolutely taken away, before righting herself] ...We've been seeing eachother for a bit! I REALLY don't want to fu-- ah-- mess this up.
Ahaha, one question at a time, Aelita! Um- Thank you, and yes, it is magic. I don't know actually, it was an accident- Um, it's a long story- and oh... [Veronica blushes and looks away, a smile tugging at her lips] ... Anyway, you're very welcome, dear. You're an excellent student.
Gaaasp... [Aelita looks dazzled - starstruck, even; her words come out in an excited jumble] YourhairissoPRETTY! Is that magic? Can I get my hair like that too? And how'd you meet Aunt Roxy? She likes you a LOT like - She sighs a bunch all dreamily and stuff whenever you're not here and like - [a red-faced Roxanna is quietly motioning for Aelita to stop while she's ahead] Oh! Right! Thank you for letting me study magic stuff at your library.
Oh! Hello, you must be Lola. Roxy's told me about you. I hope we get along! [She's acting so strange... Why do I get this feeling she hates my guts?]
Oh... She's the reason Roxy's been too busy lately... That's nice! That's nice, I guess. [she's chewing at her nails nervously - a habit she hasn't engaged in for a while] Super nice...!
A very similar boat in deed... But one day, you might get to leave. I hope you get well soon.
Roxanna tells me a lot about her - whenever she visits. We're kind of similar in a way... I can't leave the hospital, Ronnie can't leave the library. I hope she's faring well... I'd rather be library-bound any day.
I'm sure Roxy probably did something to deserve that punch, but... Only the first hit's free, Ma'am.
Our newest receptionist. She's a joy to have around and very popular with the patrons. She makes good recommendations, especially when it comes to romance novels. Although I wish she'd limit her fantasizing to the written word. [Veronica feels a little bad, lying to Gennie and letting the sigilwork effect her, but its better for everyone if the staff and patrons of Myrefall just... don't notice their respective differences.]
The Lady of the Library! Lady Argyle is always gracious to anyone who crosses the library's threshold, and I'm just as inclined to follow her example.
I hope Sam's okay... I can't even leave to go check on her. Should I send Tomino? Or maybe Gennie?
[This is the first time that Sam has been out of work this long without notice. This isn't like her. However, from what Veronica can glean from her older brother's correspondence, he's navigating the bureaucratic nightmare that is trying to get Samantha some emergency intervention without institutionalizing her outright. Hopefully she feels better soon.]
