Player Notes
From MeLange: The first day at the library was a moment he got stuck in... At least until he met the librarian. She was oddly big and attractive for a female, MeLange had never met a librarian before. Her initial attitude was hesistant, rude even. Jokes about his size, the smell of fish, and ignorance of men. Still, MeLange was persistent, sticky, difficult to remove. Day after day he showed, any time he wasn't needed for tasks of strength, he'd be found in the library between books, the Librarian ever with her watchful eye. Little by little, without a speck of magin, the Librarian Mage's walls began to lower, and she begain to take an interest in the child. She saw his honesty, his naivete, his strength. She saw the many hard days that were inevitable to come, and realized what this moment truly was. She decided, then, to take him under her wing, to teach him what he would need to survive, how to use his strength and his smarts, his darn garn stick toit-tiveness.
