Heart Games: Sol [#0: TUTORIAL]

[idolpro]

Welcome to the Great Library!



Let's say you stepped through a door to get here-- you’ll find that the door disappeared behind you, and there are no other doors in sight.

You are now in a big, round room, with numerous staircases and walkways along the walls which are lined with massive bookshelves.

There is a table in the center of the room, surrounded by eight chairs, and seven white books in front of them. There are also eight empty mugs, one in front of each chair. In the middle of the table there are plates stacked with... sandwiches, mostly? Different types of sandwiches that should taste good without heating.

. . . Which is for the best, really, because this place is Cold, even for Big Library standards.

Powers are off!

Ah, a religious text. How drôle.

[ Seems par for course.

The rest also have no particular meaning to him, though he will flip open the imeeji guidelines— the others are utterly irrelevant. ]

[Most of these are things you already know, painstakingly explained! Everything from how to gain points, to the particulars of many abilities, to a list of every item available in the points shop is mentioned here. The calligraphy is notably worse in this category, except for the section on Unit disparity. That one gets a little more breathing space between words, and doesn’t read like hurried notes. It’s almost like the person who wrote this assumed that only actual prohibitions would merit the reader’s attention.

Also of note: “Members of a unit are urged not smoke in any common areas, aside from those listed below,” followed by a list of locations that are open spaces exclusively, as well as “Members of a unit should refrain from engaging in physical activities that may inconvenience other members of their unit in any of the unit’s shared common areas, unless this has been previously discussed by all members of the unit and no one expresses their disagreement.”]

[ Ah. Well, these are definitely sensible enough.

Sets the book aside, to go to a shelf— are these, likewise, tomes of rules and guidelines? ]

[Nope! Most books are on history and religion. There are a couple of books you might recognize, like Dante’s Inferno and a copy of The Bible, but most of these don’t refer to historical events or religions anyone in this room is familiar with. They feature something called the Axiom Church and gods like Stacia and Vecta.

There are also some books that you may recognize as fairy tale knock-offs from your world, a guide to the Yamanote line, sword-fighting manuals, cooking books...]
