So Ahsoka had missed her last few half-dozen odd shifts, but she was

Because books couldn't judge. That would be silly

Was it a danger sense? Because the only dangers Rhys brought with him were his poor life choices.

Which, admittedly, could be pretty dangerous. Don't let him near any space stations, Ahsoka. Just don't do it.

"Hey, Ahsoka." Yes, he was eyeing the stacks for any stray animals. What of it?

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

There were no cows around. Today. That Ahsoka knew of.

"Hey, Rhys." Ahsoka gave him a half wave. "Looking for anything in particular?"

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

That didn't preclude them lurking around a corner, waiting to attack some unsuspecting person.

Rhys paused because it was like he just realized that people came to the library for the books. That was a thing that people did. Even with access to the internet. "Sure?"

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[snipsnspecks]

Even space wizards went to libraries for books...they just weren't made of paper.

"That didn't sound very convincing." Don't be mean, Ahsoka.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

That sounded fake. Pretty sure those space wizards were too busy repressing their emotions to do anything like that.

"Well. It's true. I want a book. Why else would I be here?"

The answer to that was ~friendship~.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[snipsnspecks]

He said that like a library wasn't the perfect place for repression.

"What kind of book?"

Maybe the real library was the friends they made along the way.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

Those poor librarians...

"A book on..." Shit, he hadn't thought that far ahead. "...vaults?"

He was from Borderlands. That was possibly a real moral for the end of a story there. Morals as told by Brick.

"Planning on breaking into one?" Ahsoka joked as she started looking through the catalogue.

Ahsoka, when this all ended horribly, it would be your fault.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[got_hijacked]

"Wait, you actually have something here?" Rhys asked, attempted to crane his head to see what she was flipping through.

Let's be honest here, it would really only be a small amount of her fault. Because Rhys brought so much on himself.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[snipsnspecks]

But she was meant to be the sensible, responsible one. Never mind her examples named Skywalker and Kenobi.

"There's a whole section on locks, safes, vaults, that kind of thing."

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[got_hijacked]

Between those two influences, how was she not infinitely more dramatic?

"Anything for the, uh, the Vault of the Traveler?"

Rhys, that still sounded pretty ominous despite your attempts at being casual.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[snipsnspecks]

Currently, untreated PTSD and lack of opportunity.

"I can't see anything specific, but it's not I can check in the books from here."

Ahsoka, no, stop.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[got_hijacked]

That seemed about right.

"That'd be... cool."

Ahsoka, yessss.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[snipsnspecks]

She'd eventually be back to a Skywalker level of drama. Eventually.

"It's be a lot more helpful than everything being in print," Ahsoka groused. "You know what system it's supposed to be in, I could try cross-referencing."

Ahsoka this was how people lost limbs, and Rhys was already down one.

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[got_hijacked]

He just needed to pass the QTE to keep alive and... most of his limbs intact.

"The systems here are weird," Rhys replied. Because that was too much world building for this game, okay? "Maybe check Eridians?"

Re: Talk to Ahsoka

[snipsnspecks]

"What do you expect, they haven't even managed to get off the one planet?" That wasn't nice, Ahsoka.

"Eridians, Eridians...there's something about a guidebook?"
