CUS Y7: Parts 4-6
Part 4
Okay employees, we have our first stop at a world where things seem to be stuck in the Victorian Era. They have our technology, but, aesthetically, they...chose to stay that way. Weird choice, but sure. As we arrive, we are greeted by a large man, with one of those curly mustaches. He introduces himself as Charles, the Mayor of this particular town, and asks us if we're from the Library. We note that we are, and he invites us into his rather obnoxious looking Manor. I don't really know how he plans to let this many people in, but sure.
Read a book with a "loud" or slightly "obnoxious" looking cover.
Part 5
As we make our way inside, one of you pipes up and mentions that we're not here to stay, but that we have a few questions about the patronage of the Library. Good for you, employee, for growing a spine.
"Ah, yes, I suppose we have been checking out fewer books. You see, we had this new Machine delivered to us not too long ago, and it has answered many of the questions the books were answering for us. Of course, this limited the amount of research material we would need from the Library, so we haven't really needed the services of the Library any longer."
Well, that makes sense.
"It's been particularly helpful, and we always love to support new and emerging machinery."
Right, don't we all? This doesn't sound suspicious at all. Less books always sounds like a good thing to me, personally.
Read a book you've been putting off because you didn't have time to read it.
Part 6
This machine sounds...helpful, perhaps. We ask to be taken to it, and the Mayor frowns. "Well, perhaps you should stop for some food first, and we'll see if the Machine wants to speak to you."
Hold on, is he referring to the machine like it's sentient? I'm not sure I like that. Of course, Strawberry Bot is a sentient robot, but he's imbued with magic and this feels...different.
We settle in for tea while the Mayor walks away to discuss our request with this...machine. We better enjoy our tea while we can.
