Just within the front door of the library is a small alcove off to the side, which has been left respectfully undisturbed by those who have looted the library materials for supplies. It is just the right size to contain a single, sturdy podium, and on the podium is a large, thick book. It bears the school emblem on the front, with '2015-2016' in gold below it.

It's been a tradition here, begun just after the University was founded, to provide a place to allow all faculty, students, and visitors to record anything they'd like to. At the beginning of each school year, a new book is provided, and the previous year's book is placed in the library archives. The book has many empty pages left, as the 2015 school year didn't technically last very long - when Day Zero occurred, it had only been a month or so since the students' return in the fall.

But those who survived are still a part of the University, just as much as anyone else who walked the campus before them. Both this book and this University would always be theirs, because they were the ones who fought for it.

Quote:

This works like the Announcement Board ORP! It is a bit different, however: you can think of the announcement board as a way to spread information, and this as a way to record it. It could also be considered as something similar to signature pages in a yearbook, but less personal.

Any character in the University can write anything in it. They can write a memory, a confession, a recounting of something that happened, a silly joke, a rumor, the word 'butts'. Anything! (Just keep it Gaia appropriate.) Drawings are also allowed, of course!

There is a traditional rule that no one is allowed to remove or mark over anything that someone else has written, but it's up to your character if they want to uphold that.

This is IC, but they don't have to sign it or leave any identifying information if they don't want to, and you don't have to write anything other than your character's message. Just put it in a quote box, like the Announcement Board format!

Entries in the book don't have to be current. They can be from any time after Day Zero to now (so about the span of 5 weeks). If it's written at an earlier date, just make a note to say so!

Especially Lady Charlotte and Caroline. Thank you. Charlotte, I thought of you during dark times and Caroline... thanks for dragging me away from that thing.

A Message written in Blue
Anyone heading out might want to bring an AOE weapon to deal with the invisible horse thing that's been showing up. I wonder if the egg it drops taste nicer fried or half-boiled.

Thank you to all of you for becoming my family, when I was afraid that I didn't have one anymore.

Thank you to many of you for looking out for the only friend I had left after day zero.

[In four columns made of nine was a written list of each of their names, and nothing else. The print was neat, clean, and meticulous, which was loving in its own way. Here they were all kept by the nines, so here they would always be safe.]

In the back pages of the book was scribbled a short note:

In block letters, with no name attached to it

Quote:
Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.


Beneath that, in much more recognizable handwriting.

Quote:
You took me in, no questions asked, and made me a part of your family. I wouldn't have survived with out you. Thank you, all of you, for everything.
