What is this? Why am I suddenly in the midst of a human village?!

( OOC: Cut for minor spoilers )

[Rider is at work in the library, with a stack of books on the desk she's sitting at. She closes one and puts it back on the pile.]

...Is there nothing here with any valuable information on Mayfield?

[[OoC edit: Many, many thanks to whomever purchased a paid account for Rider! I really appreciate it!]]
