[Sylvanas is not nearly as friendly or amicable as her other Azerothian 'peers.' Considering Anduin has already asked many of the more important questions, there's no reason for her to repeat them. Especially not when he and Wrathion have both been so very willing to share.]

As it seems many of you have made yourselves comfortable here for extended stay, I assume you possess familiarity with the area.

I seek an archery range. Direct me to it.
I do not need a bow. I have my own.

I am also in search of confirmation of the library location and a detailed description of its contents.

[And while there's more she'd like to ask, she's simply not ready to. Yet.]

Oh I have something for this actually! Just one moment please

[ attached is a link to a months-old video post from a different Prismagram account, 1stQadrMargaFan. It features a very enthusiastic teen wizard who begins with the greeting "Hello, First Qadr! Once again, it is I, Titus Alexius," and goes on to describe the location, focus, and overall vibe of a handful of different library facilities: the sprawling central library at Lunar Scientia HQ, found on level 1 of Lunatia; its satellite facilities, found at the government centers on each of the three moons; Iris moon's Tower of Whispers (an active archaeological site where the vast majority of the ancient written records remain, sadly, indecipherable) and Lunatian Archives (more of a museum than a research center, but with a lot of interesting historical information nonetheless); and the reading archive housed on the third floor of Amegahara Emporium (with a nonfiction section mostly focused on Amegahara itself). He also notes his favorite place to get snacks near each library, namechecks a few helpful/interesting staff members, and explains that Amegahara unfortunately remains inaccessible from the city of Lunatia, but he hopes they'll all be able to visit again soon.

Underneath the video is one of the few things here that she technically asked for: precise location information for each library mentioned. ]

Ah I suppose that did not describe the libraries' actual contents in as much detail as I remembered. And of course the thing about not being able to visit Amegahara is out of date! But I hope you find this helpful 😊✨

[It's... remarkably informative.

Sylvanas isn't certain it'll answer any of the more profound questions she has (and such things may not be possible without speaking with one of the Prismals, but she's not inclined toward this), but it's certainly better than nothing.

Perhaps she can find something to share with the others. That's funny. As if she would actually share anything she discovered. She isn't soft.]

That is extensive information.

[She isn't going to do any thanking. Shows of gratitude simply aren't her way. But she is going to take some time to look at the emoticons. What in the name of the Forsaken are those.]

I'm certain it will all come to be useful. Eventually.

[wearingguess]

I am very pleased to hear it! By the way, I stand by the snack recommendations 100 percent, but there are new shops opening all the time, so I encourage you to experiment widely to discover your own favorites. Also, they are quite strict about bringing refreshments into the Lunar Scientia library, but in my experience they will overlook it at many of the others as long as you are discreet.

[ladymoon]

I had no intentions of bringing such things into the library. A library is for reading, not for feeding.

[But to be fair...

Sylvanas in death, does not need to eat. Or drink. Or breathe. She can, yet it is not required.]

[wearingguess]

You even had a rhyming couplet ready!! I am impressed. Are you a librarian?

[ladymoon]

No.

I am Forsaken.

[...How many times has she said that by this point? It certainly feels as if she's said it quite a lot.]

[wearingguess]

You are

forbidden from practicing library science?

[ it's a bit of a leap in logic, but... well, he can't parse what else she might have meant by that response. (she was betrayed and cast out by the library of her homeworld? ...or maybe she's changing the subject, and her name is "Forsaken"?? ]

[ladymoon]

You asked if I was a librarian. I have answered you.
I am not. I am Forsaken.

That is what I am.

[No one ever understands it the first time she says it. Or likely even the third. And Sylvanas has little interest in explaining.]

[wearingguess]

I suppose I cannot quite understand why being Forsaken precludes being a librarian.
But then, I also have no idea what you mean to convey by telling me you are Forsaken.

[ladymoon]

[This is going in circles and Sylvanas has no time for games.]

Disregard it. I am not a librarian. I have no interest in becoming such a thing. I am the Warchief of the Horde.

My interest in the library and its records is information only.

[wearingguess]

Now I am closer to understanding! It makes perfect sense that the Warchief of the Horde would not spend her time managing a library. The meaning of "Forsaken" still eludes me entirely, but I suppose it is the kind of thing that is intended to remain opaque to outsiders?

[ladymoon]

The Forsaken are my people. I am Forsaken. They are Forsake. We. Are Forsaken.

[Nothing opaque about that, right?]

[wearingguess]

Oh!

Now I see.
Yes, I do see.

So
Who forsook you?

[ladymoon]

It is only a name representative of life, which abandoned us. We reclaimed it in our way.

[wearingguess]

Life abandoned you? What do you mean?

[ladymoon]

We are both dead and alive. Somewhere in between two extremes.

[wearingguess]

How unusual!
What kind of vital functions do you have? Are you related to vampire?

I haven't found a range that wasn't for munitions-type weapons since I arrived. I would love to go to a proper archery range if you do find one, though.

[ladymoon]

Then it is possible that there is no archery range here.

[This is what Sylvanas is gleaning from Illyana's response, anyway.]

[arrowroot]

I haven't looked into whether the other two cities have them, but you're probably right.

That's disappointing.

[ladymoon]

Yes. Yes, it very much is. Ironic, considering they seem to have many other things available.

[arrowroot]

The more I think about it the more I want to start my own, but I have no idea how to turn a simple range into a lucrative business, outside of offering services in crafting weaponry as well.

[ladymoon]

It would seem practical to craft the weapons one would ordinarily use for an archery range.

It could also be used for archery competition. A public affair, if you were so inclined. There appears to interest for it.

[arrowroot]

My brother also arrived recently and he's skilled in weapon and armorsmithing, and another friend from my world who is skilled in tailor and artificer so I feel like we've got a pretty good range covered between the three of us.

Also that is a fantastic idea.

[ladymoon]

If you decide to open this, I will visit it.

[arrowroot]

I'm actually giving it some serious thought. I'll absolutely make an announcement if I go through with it.

[ladymoon]

I will pay attention for it.

[arrowroot]

Excellent! Thank you for putting up with my rambling thoughts.

Hey so yeah i don't think there's an ARCHERY RANGE here but if you wanna shoot the shit and shoot shit there's like

woods?

if you don't mind hunting things for food

[ladymoon]

[Sylvanas must think before she responds, which is par for the course where she is concerned.

Go a certain point beyond what is safe, and the outside lands are dangerous. She had thought the forests to be a part of these 'outside lands.' But 'dangerous' isn't the word Sylvanas wants to use to describe anything except herself.]

I am a capable hunter.

The woods you speak of, are those far or near?

un: loverboy

[swaylay]

[ This message seems specifically catered to his interests.

One: Archery is his thing.
Two: He is attempting the whole sexy librarian gig and needs to find it himself.

Fortunate. He's not even put off by the somewhat chilly demeanor. ]

How good are you at shooting?
I haven't seen one, but maybe if there's enough interest you could open one yourself.

That's the gist of this place I think. Bat enough eyelashes at the locals and fill out the paperwork and you can own your own business. Kinda cool.

[ladymoon]

[Sylvanas does not answer him. Why use words when her actions will speak loud enough for her?]

I do not intend to be here long enough to do any such thing.

[She also has no interest in running anything herself. That would be akin to an invitation to others. Sylvanas will observe the others all she wishes, but she's simply not charitable enough to put in the effort.

She doesn't need an archery range at the end of it all.]

I have been told there are woods available for such things, if no range.

[swaylay]

I'm pretty sure you're not the first person that combed over the library hoping to find a way back home. Not to be a downer, but that's just where we're at.

[ An idiot would openly say anything suggesting she's incapable, so Eros doesn't. He simply finds it odd that of all the brilliant minds that have surely come through, nobody has found a way home voluntarily.

The whole Dimension X shenanigans certainly left a poor taste in his mouth at any rate. ]

If you ever need help, with the whole archery thing or looking at fine print I'm more than willing. I was thinking of getting a job at the library anyway.

[ladymoon]

[Sylvanas does not correct him, but her interest in the library has nothing to do with going home. After all, if it were that easy, someone else would have already gotten to that.

Let him think as he will.]

It appears there is another here interested in the establishment of a range. I will direct them to you.

[She has a mind to address the practicality in holding a job in a library, but Sylvanas is a terse woman and not yet in the habit of making conversation with the locals, Moonblessed or Prismal alike. Perhaps at some point, she may be forced to reassess that.]

[dvine]

I'm opening a sports center sometime during this month and it will have archery range- one of my friends is really into archery so I thought why not

If that's what you're looking for?

Do you compete? Sounds like you're proficient in it if you're looking for practice range

[ #oblivious]

[ladymoon]

[...A sports centre. Sylvanas files that away for later, though she doesn't have much of an interest in more than the actual archery portion.]

I am capable.
I expect to hear when this is established. I will decide then if it suits my needs.

[After all, she can't say if it's what she wants until she experiences it for herself.]

[dvine]

I have been working with people on opening it in past few months so it should be open in a week or so

There's traditional Japanese archery, but there's also a range with moving or obscured targets

The first one is for beginners, that are starting off. The second one is for people that know what they are doing

[ladymoon]

I understand.

[Well, on time time frame, anyway. She says nothing about Japanese archery, because she doesn't even know what the word 'Japanese' means. Sylvanas is still too laser-focused on her own aims to really begin getting curious.]

I will monitor its progress and pay visit when it's complete. We will see how it pleases me.

[If. It does at all.]

un: no

[terribletwos]

i know where the library is. but i'm going to need more information on what sort of contents you're looking for. it's huge.

[ladymoon]

The information I am looking for is general. I can find my way around it. I will not get lost in an archive of books.

[She isn't looking for general information, but Sylvanas has never exactly been interested in being so upfront with others.]

[terribletwos]

i mean, it's got books on everything. but if you wanted information about this world, that's more patchy.

[ladymoon]

I have found if I want information on this world in particular, present information, that it is best to speak with the natural residents. When they choose to cooperate.

[terribletwos]

oh, what sort of things have they told you about/ i haven't tried asking them for information before.

[ladymoon]

The only thing they spoke to me of was of how things operated here. Little else. They were not much for conversation.

[But to be fair. Neither is Syl.]

[terribletwos]

but isn't that general information/

[ladymoon]

General to them, perhaps. Not to those of us not native here.
