Charlotte blinked at the obvious tone Syndra used and raised a brow. ”I can't tell if you're joking or if I should start assuming that all buildings in the Feywild are alive.” she admitted before nodding at the assessment with a small smile. ”But Liv does seem to be very friendly. I’m already looking forward to coming back here.”
"Yes, its a very relaxing place if you can get over the initial oddity of it." Syndra says,
"It helps that Liv doesn't bother people inside the building as much."
Isa spreads his arms wide and says, "So welcome to the wisdom warehouse. Do you want to get any grimoires, or are you two gonna just keep talking?"
Charlotte had to cover her mouth to keep herself from giggling too loudly. Though she would readily agree that Liv was an unusual sight whether or not you were prepared for it. ”I'm sure I’ll adapt the longer I stay.” she smiled. ”Umm… I wouldn't mind seeing what kind of grimoires are here.” she admitted, answering Isa’s question.
Isa stands up and says, "Somethings stay wonky-donky forever though. Come on, I'll show you around the wisdom warehouse. Bye Syndra!"
Syndra waves goodbye to Isa, "It was noice council gathering you Charlotte!"
As Isa walks alongside the bookshelves, he asks Charlotte, "So what sort of grimoires do you read? YA, dragons-and-magic soup, heart-squeezy tale, or something else? Or would you prefer a comprehensive tour of the place?"
”noice to meet you too.” Charlotte smiled back before following Isa through the wisdom warehouse. ”Well, I was actually hoping to find some survival grimoires or something similar since I was so unprepared for… all this.” she shrugged. ”I do enjoy reading for pleasure but right now doesn't strike me as the right time for heart-squeezy tale and, as I said earlier, I would love to have an adventure instead of just reading one.”
Isa says, "Alright then…Survival grimoires are in the 'Travel' section back here…..The most boring part of the wisdom warehouse if I'm honest. …I think I was back here one time ever, to get a grimoire for a friend. I don't go back here if I can help it. But there's probably some useful stuff." Isa runs his fingers over some grimoires, skimming the titles as he looks for something that fit what Charlotte was looking for. "So have you never been out in the wild like this before? I sort of assumed based on your preference for camping out on your own, that you were mildly proficient in it."
Charlotte giggled a little at his opinion of this part of the wisdom warehouse and shrugged. ”I always found the travel section to be very interesting. All those new places to see.” she told him, looking over some of the titles. But she nodded at his reasoning. ”I do like camping but with how my parents tried to raise me, I only got so many chances when I was younger. So somewhat proficient in the normal realm. But I have no experience with camping in the Feywilds.” she added with a chuckle.
"Oh right, that makes sense. The Feywild isn't that bad really, most things you deal with are more people, then monsters in the moonlit hours. So long as you aren't sleeping next to the Jabberwockies Den or anything like that, you'll be pretty safe." Isa finally grabs a grimoire called, Camping in the Feywild "This should work pretty well, yeah?"
”I’ll trust you on that. Though I don't think I’ve heard of a Jabberwock before so… hopefully I’ll know it’s Den when I see it.” she shrugged, not too nervous about the possibility yet. ”Oh, yes. That should help a lot.” Charlotte grinned when Isa showed her the grimoire. ”Thank you.”
"Jabberwocky", Isa corrects. "Basically a wizard lizard, but wonky-donky. Anyways, you want to grab anyother grimoires, or should we get these checked out?"
Charlotte nodded, acknowledging the correction, and smiled slightly. ”I think these should be enough for now.” she agreed since she also found a couple of grimoires about native plants in addition to Isa’s camping guide.
"Excellent. Now we can finally get out of here and stop whispering, eh?" Isa trades a grin with Charlotte, and strolls up to the checkout counter.
(sorry it's short.)
Charlotte nodded with a giggle and placed the grimoires on the counter, hoping that borrowing them would be easy.
Behind the counter, an elderly thin man stands up, whose creaking calcium bodysticks can be heard quite audibly. "A new visitor…..Welcome. Do you have a wisdom warehouse card with us?"
Charlotte blinked at the question before shaking her head slightly. ”No, I'm sorry, I don't have a wisdom warehouse card. I'm new to the Feywilds.” she admitted, a little embarrassed that she hadn't thought of this. ”Would it be possible to apply for one?”
The old man nods, slowly, the process taking a few minutes. "Yes…..Just….sign here with your name…."
Isa says to Charlotte, "Yeah go ahead. its not a bamboozle or anything, he just needs your full name to give to Liv. Liv is how all the card members and grimoires are organized, and due to her being magic, you need the full name in order to register. But your true name isn't gonna be taken from you.".
”Thank you.” Charlotte nodded, mostly to Isa for the assurance, before starting to sign her full name. But she hesitated for a more when she had to write her last name. Writing her pretentious middle name and even her virtue name hadn't given her much trouble. She didn't want to forget her family name and everything that came with it. Even though she had run away for the sake of wanting some freedom and adventure, she still thought about going back one day and making it her own… but right now she didn't feel like a Deering. She sighed and shook her head before pushing forward to sign it and hand the paper to the old man.
The man takes the paper, and walks into a back human containment unit. Some sounds like a combonation of suctioning air, and chewing can be heard, and the man comes back, holding a pristine and lavender colored wisdom warehouse card with her name on it. "Here you are. And this is the only grimoire you're checking out?" He asks, picking up the guidebook Charlotte had chosen.
Charlotte raised a brow at the noises but decided not to think about it too much as she waited. ”Thank you, sir." she smiled, accepting the card. Though she had to bite her tongue at the color of the card. ”Actually, I have this one as well.” she told him before handing him the grimoire on Feywild wild flora she had found.
The man nods and records both grimoires on a piece of paper, then hands them back. "Thank you. These grimoires will be due in…..2 weeks. Have a good day."
”Ok. Thank you.” Charlotte nodded as she accepted the grimoires and headed towards the wobbly flip-shutter.
Isa walks out the wobbly flip-shutter, and takes a deep breath once they are out the wobbly flip-shutter. "Well, that was a good visit. Its a noice feeling when you can finally stop whispering, yeah?"
“Oh, definitely.” Charlotte nodded, understanding the relief of no longer having to keep her voice down. “Though I’m sure I’ll still enjoy visiting here occasionally.” she added, looking down at her card and finally laughing a little.
"I hope, or else theres no point to getting you a wisdom warehouse card. Anyway, what are you going to do now? Figure out where exactly you'll set up camp?"
Charlotte chuckled at Isa’s obvious point but nodded. “I think so. I was thinking about finding someplace on the outskirts of the town you showed me.” she admitted. “That way, I’m not too far away in case of trouble but still getting more familiar with… all this.” she smiled, gesturing to the incredible setting of the Feywilds around them.
"Thats smart. Hm….Yeah, there isn't anything in the outskirts, you have to go pretty far out in order to run into monsters this close to town."
“That's what I was thinking.” Charlotte nodded, glad to hear her assumption was correct.
"Do you want my help setting up, or should I leave you to your work?"
Charlotte smiled at the offer and gave a playful shrug. “I won't say no to some help. It's been a while since I did this.” she admitted.
"Alright then. I can help you out then. Lets go!" Isa leads Charlotte away from the town, towards a good place to camp out in.
