Yazeba looks at Amelie as the maid-bot presents Art: Official Life. She glances at the book’s cover, then back at Amelie, perplexed.

"Well, I’ll give you this, Amelie: you’ve got better taste than most of this lot," she says with a smirk. "Borrow it. Enjoy it. Learn that most things in life can’t be captured by a photograph—like the absolute chaos of this library today."

Merv thinks over Yazeba's words as he flips through the book he chose. What if unseen things become seen of their own volition regardless of what we want? he thinks to himself. But he swallows down the thought and instead says "Thank you for the sage advice, Madam." He forces a tight lipped smile onto his face and puts the book back on the shelf.

"I think I shall content myself with checking out the first book, then," he says, lightly patting the spine of the Cryptozoology book. Perhaps he can win Yazeba over and she will unlock the special book cabinet for him on a future visit. He sighs wistfully.
OOC:
Whoopsie: Bend backwards to make someone else happy.

Ratto squeaks happily when Yazeba gives her permission to borrow the book. She carefully drags it out of the library as she follows after her bone-headed master.

One by one, the rest of the visitors file out of the library as well. All-in-all, it was an eventful first day at the remodeled library!
OOC:
Yazeba gets a token for each person who borrowed a book (5). The B&B gets a Book, too (a Square Memento).

Later, Merv is in his room, sitting in an overstuffed chair by the window overlooking the garden. He has been intently reading through the Chupacabra section of the book he checked out from Yazeba's library while occasionally jotting down notes in a small leatherbound notebook. He takes a break to pinch the bridge of his nose, trying to relieve the strain in his eyes. He takes off his glasses and sets them down on the side table as he looks dejectedly out the window at a shrubbery.

Just then, a gentle wind shifts the clouds in the sky and the light of the moon spills in through the window. As it falls on Merv, he clutches his temples in his hands and doubles over, moaning in pain. His limbs extend and his joints creak and crack, hair growing all over his body. His mouth pulls forward in his face as it forms a canina snout and his chest feminizes, tearing the collar right off his shirt.

Merv's clothing hangs in ripped shreds on Mel's lupine form as she lets out a long, low howl into the night. Then a long tongue lolls out from her maw as she sniffs the leather covers of Merv's carefully researched notebook. Nom nom nom

Amelie takes these words to heart, yet also snaps a photo of Ratto scampering off with her book.

She does not have a library card. Is that not technically illegal?
