smk_network[he stands in front of a window, winter light streaming in around him and highlighting his white wings. Clever people may notice he's added another ring, silver and black on the fourth finger of his left hand as he folds them in front of him and beams. More than his usual polite interest, his eyes are shining and he looks positively radiant and may, in fact, be glowing just a hair.
When he speaks, his voice is like warm honey]
Hello, I'd like to take the time to welcome all the newcomers to our lovely little situation. It may seem odd and even frightening to be so far from home. You may feel overwhelmed by the task ahead of you and that you may not be able to accomplish healing the corruption that has blighted this land. But I can assure you, it's possible. Some of it has already been cleansed and purified.
How, you may ask?
Why, through our efforts. As a unit. As a group. A team even. Everyone has value and worth here. We are all able to contribute. And there are many here who would help you and guide you to settling in. Finding your way. I'd call upon Lydia if you needed a ready mind and an open ear. Or Eleanor or Richie if you wanted someone to drink and commiserate with. Michael is always splendid to talk to. If there are any children among you, Webby [goodness, what a name] and Leia are wonderful playmates. [so he assumes]
And there are plenty of others here to help.
As for me, I am your local librarian. [his grin widens as this is very new and not even Crowley knows it yet] The selection here is rather small and limited at the moment,but feel free to come in and browse and check out [his wings twitch a little at that] at your leisure. But do see the books are returned in a timely manner. After all, I know where you live. [a smile as if it's a joke]
To that end, I am offering a slight commission for any one who can bring me a book that they find in the wilds or wherever. If you're interested, please take stock of what the library already offers. I'm not interested in copies of mundane things here, but other sorts of books. They don't necessarily have to be non-fiction, but any sort of spell work, spell craft or magic theory that you can find I will pay top dollar for. And also limited or first editions.
[he is not sure where he'll get the top dollar, but nevermind]
Aside from that, welcome to all who have come.
If you have any questions or wish to seek the personal attentions of the head librarian, my consultation hours are posted on the office door.

[a faint smile. He did indeed have wings and they flexed absently as he shifted]
Well and likewise Ms. Peabody-Emerson. Have you learned your Class yet?

Date: 2020-01-14 06:50 am (UTC)Did you say, children? [Not meaning to sound as perturbed by that possibility as she was. It was not so much for her son's safety that she was currently mulling over the prospect but more what a challenge it would be were he here. How he would monopolize the mirror network alone was frightening. At least- for the time being he did not seem to have followed his mother here.]
How disorganized. [Said with a resigned sigh] It's no matter.
[Well now she had caused some confusion, albeit accidentally]
Mrs. Emerson if you please. [Then she decided it was best to explain the earlier inclusion] My husband is the only one that still calls me by my maiden name. I must admit that I mentioned it only in the vain hope against hopes that someone might have already spoken to him here. [You could here the thinly veiled sense of longing in her words] Yes, I was told that I'm a Mystic. What class are you in?

Date: 2020-01-15 06:47 am (UTC)[he does give her a sympathetic smile] I'm sorry, Mrs. Emerson. I have been here since the beginning-- and I sincerely doubt your husband is among us. Unless he is a Doctor or perhaps a juggler with a Spanish bent. [he knows how that feels though. The longing to be with someone you miss dearly]
But, who knows, he may yet come.
And mystic! What an interesting class that is. And fortunate, I believe, as they can use spells however they want and suffer no repercussions. I almost wish I were the same, but I am a Prince. Which is only a name, and not in any way indicative of delegating responsibilities. Except...of course I am a Principality. [he flexes his wings a bit] But that hardly applies here.
