Day 27: Library

Sep 29, 2007 09:18

Libraries, he'd found, were rarely as dull as people made them out to be. Though he felt no magic in these tomes, they were still full of useful information. Maybe some of them could tell him a little bit more about this world he'd landed himself in.

For that matter, why hadn't he run into any of the others yet? They'd all been fairly close ( Read more... )

622 had quietly eaten his midday meal, glad to have no one bothering him while he was eating. Getting the proper amount of food was more important than civilians seemed to think. Maybe they just didn't respect the fact that food might not be handed to them all the time.

The idea of some place where there might be information on this system was promising, but it seemed he had been too hopeful. After a little confusion, he realized all the available books (Paper books! Weren't those only kept in museums?) were stories that people had made up. Fiction. Unhelpful lies. Oh well. There might still be some information on the local culture in these things...

Faust had simply gone to the library. Books, even fictional books, were something of a comfort. He scanned the shelves, looking around for something that would catch his eye and then spotted his former roommate.

He walked over and frowned, worried and relieved. "Darman? What happened to you?"

loyal_soldier September 29 2007, 18:06:40 UTC

622 looked up as another prisoner approached. 'Darman'? He looked totally confused for a moment. He didn't have a name, why did this--?

Oh. "I'm not 'Darman'. There are other clones here?" That made him hopeful. If there was another clone, that meant there was another stormtrooper here. He didn't usually seem so despirate for the company of other clones, but another Imperial here would be a real relief.

empty_death September 29 2007, 18:13:48 UTC

Clones? Faust blinked and then shook his head. "I'm terribly sorry," he said. "There were two other young men that looked like you, but I have not seen either young man here for at least a day or so."

Time moved so strangly here that he found he couldn't recall the last time he'd seen his missing roommate.

loyal_soldier September 29 2007, 18:20:13 UTC

"Do you know their designations or rank?" 622 needed information. Even if these clones might be dead, it was important to him. "I am Stormtrooper Sergeant TK-622. I don't have a name."

empty_death September 29 2007, 18:39:18 UTC

Faust had to rack his memories. "The young man who I mistook you for was 'RC-1136', I believe." He hoped that was helpful as well as what he was asked for.

loyal_soldier September 29 2007, 18:50:15 UTC

622 looked shocked. "A Republic Commando?" The only ones still alive would be around 30 years old, way past combat age! And this man had mistaken him for one of them?

empty_death September 29 2007, 18:54:18 UTC

Faust blinked again. "If... if that's what the 'RC' stands for, then, I suppose so, yes."

loyal_soldier September 29 2007, 18:57:00 UTC

"And... he was about my age?" That made no sense. Unless you went by all the stuff that the Captain had been saying before lunch, but he still didn't quite believe that... "Somewhere between 9 and 15 years old?" He had momentarily forgotten how strange that would sound to a civilian.

empty_death September 29 2007, 19:05:59 UTC

Faust frowned. "He looked like he was in his early to mid-twenties. Like you." Definitly not nine and fifteen.

loyal_soldier September 29 2007, 19:13:24 UTC

Alright. This was just too strange. But that was no reason to be acting so undiciplined. He straightened slightly, forcing himself to hold back all the questions for a moment.

"Appologies. This is just very bizarre. That sounds about right for the 9-13 age bracket for a clone- we age fast. RC units by... my present day should be about 30 years old." Unless this was an actually insane clone they were talking about. Then he could have just thought he was from the Republic era...

"You said there was another clone as well?"

empty_death September 29 2007, 19:25:17 UTC

Faust thought back. "The other one I never did speak to, only saw in passing. It seems as though both he and Darman knew each other." He frowned, thinking. "One seemed to be in command of the other."

loyal_soldier September 29 2007, 19:32:02 UTC

One was an officer, then. That was good news. If they were still alive. "If you see them again, could you tell them that another clone is here?" He shouldn't be so hopeful, but if there was any chance of finding other clones...

empty_death September 29 2007, 19:37:35 UTC

Faust nodded. "I will be sure to, however, I haven't seen either in a while."

It was kind of .... worrying, knowing that people disappear all the time without a trace.

loyal_soldier September 29 2007, 19:47:43 UTC

"They're probably dead, but just in case..." 622 sighed slightly, eyes flicking down to the floor for a moment. "I've been hearing about 'monsters' in this place, but no specifics. What are they like?"

empty_death September 29 2007, 19:53:04 UTC

Faust thought for a moment. "The creatures that roam the halls are all different. Some resemble animals, others like creatures out of fantasy. Some are like the staff here, only twisted and far more aggressive."
