1. Outside the Bay

[With each step she made her way out of the Bay, a little puzzled more than anything as to how she managed to get to another place and this time it was one she didn't know. It wasn't Storybrooke and it wasn't the Enchanted Forest. So then where was she? Upon stepping outside of the Bay she looked around, her eyes carefully studying her surroundings.

Once the fact she didn't know really settled in, she started to wonder where those she loved and cared for were. Were they here with her? Or were they somewhere else. She had to know, so she starts heading off, her eyes focused on looking around as she went.]

2. Library.

[One of the stops she found herself stopping for was the library. So many books as far as the eye could be as she walked between the shelves. It seemed like way more than the Library in Storybrooke and she just couldn't help but look as her fingers trailed the spines of the books, seeing what there is. A small smile passed by her lips she pulled one out and glanced at the cover.]

I don't think I've seen this book before.

[She looked over slightly before she looked back at the book and skimming the page briefly. She seemed to be engrossed in the book.]

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[Belle had yet to find anyone she knew so far and that nerved her a little bit, but she carried on, a slight determination in her steps as she soon stopped in front of a store, pausing slightly to take a look at what the name was. 'Scibes and Script' Interesting name for a store. It made her curious enough to enter and soon realized it was a book store. Glancing around at all of the books she couldn't help but be amazed. It wasn't as large as the library, but most books stores usually weren't.]

Hello... Anyone here?

[She made sure to close the door behind her before stepping in further, wondering just who was loking after this place.]

Library

[bloodcravings]

[It's just his luck (or her's) that Mika is working today. Probably bad luck. He's carrying around a large stack of books rather easily in one hand. Having his strength back is great but Mika does wish that he knew what had happened to Yuu and Zero and a few others if he's being honest with himself. As he wanders through the stacks, he catches sight of someone standing around, leafing through a book.

His first instinct is to just leave her there. But his job won't allow for it and so he shifts over to her.]

Can I help you?

Library

[namemeansbeauty]

[Belle was rather focused on what she was reading, still standing in front of the shelf she had been standing in front of before. When the voice spoke up she turned her head slightly. So she wasn't alone. It was enough to get a soft smile from her.]

Hi there. I don't need help, although... I guess I don't know a lot about some of these books so I would be most interested in knowing about all the kinds of books you have here.

[bloodcravings]

[She doesn't really look lost inside of the library but in the short amount of time he's been here, Mika hasn't seen her around. In all honestly, she looks the type to be here all of the time considering she was practically reading a book while standing up.]

I'm under the impression that this is a collection from a variety of different worlds, not just one or two of them. I only arrived in this world recently so I've yet to explore all the library has to offer.

[namemeansbeauty]

[She had closed the book, keeping it close to her for the time being. She was considering borrowing it, but she wondered if there was a method in this new place.]

Different worlds, different stories... [It was a very interesting through and it did ping her interests, but yet her mind wondered to those back home. How were they right now.]

Though you said you arrived recently yourself... So would you like to explore together and see what we can find?

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[skilledwithwords]

Yes

[A sweet voice calls from the back as footsteps echo closely. She's dealingwith a problem that, at the moment, has nothing to do with books. Levy almost runs out of the back room, a small brown bunny hopping after her.]

How can I help you?

[She smiles brightly while trying to dodge the cute little bunnies headbutts. She's decided not to take the cute ball of fluff to work anymore.]

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[namemeansbeauty]

[She was a little surprised at the small brown bunny and hadn't been expecting it at all. But once she gained her composer she spoke.]

Well... I was just looking around. This is a very interesting bookstore you have here. Do you own it?

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy had brought the little bunny for a friend and then shortly regretted it. The little thing had far to much energy and while she's at the shop she's usually busy doing so many other things that it's hard to care for the little bouncing ball of fur.]

Yes. I love books.

[She reaches down and picks up the bunny letting it nuzzle against her palm.]

I take it you like books also?

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[namemeansbeauty]

[She nodded slightly, giving a small hint of a smile. So there were others who love books as much as she did. She was glad she could find others like that. Although she knew she still needed to find a way out of here. There had to be a way after all.]

I do, I enjoy all types of books, but... I assume there aren't ones to help us in this situation, right?

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy's smile remained though her eyes saddened somewhat.]

I'm afraid not, I've looked through countless books.

[This place has no shortage of literature.]

There are many people searching for a way home. [Levy nods to a book in the center of the room, it's currently open to a blank page.] I've tried to write down what I know and leave it open for others to do the same.

Hasn't really taken off yet.

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[namemeansbeauty]

[She had a feeling that had to be the case, which meant she didn't know how long it would be until she could get back home.]

It's an interesting idea, though it's a shame it hasn't taken off.

[Since books are the best way to keep information.]

I'm sure that there are way's to gather more interest. I don't know people enough to know just yet to help though.

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy nods. She knows that it's going to be a slow process and she's willing to wait. Some of her friends are here and she's met people that she cares about very much. She wants to go home as well but she's the sort to live each day as it comes.

With a smile she placed the bunny on the counter, who has promptly fallen asleep and walked over to the stores center.]

You're welcome to look around. I think it's great that you want to help.

[She turns towards Belle with a wide smile.]

This place isn't home but it isn't so bad either and if you need anything I'd be happy to help.

[As much as she can.]

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[namemeansbeauty]

[She nodded slightly, even she had a thought that she might be here for a while, but that little worry still about home. But after a moment or two she just accepts it as she looks around.]

Nothing springs to mind right now for help... I'm just going to look around. Though you have so many interesting books, some I've never seen before.

3. Fayren, Scribes and Scripts

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy smiles at that looking at the shelves fondly.]

Yeah, there are books from all worlds here. If you don't see one that you want I don't mind trying to hunt it down for you.

[She taps a sign at the front desk that advertises the bookhunters skills.]

Library

[painful_finish]

[Here's one of the librarians. He's not a pleasant person right now. Sorry.]

Do you plan to borrow that one?

Library

[namemeansbeauty]

[She glanced over, giving a small nod.]

Yes, I am planning on borrowing hopefully. I assume you work here?

[polkadottie]

Hello! [ She's not the owner of the bookshop- but Chiyo's stopped into the bookstore today to check on how well Nozaki-kun's manga's been selling! She beams from the shelf where his manga is, offering a little wave.] Someone who works here should be back any moment.

[namemeansbeauty]

Hello. [She turned her head seeing the other and gave a small smile.] Than you for telling me, though I'm just looking around. [She pauses for a moment.] Do you like books yourself?

[livable]

[ Having only just started doing research a little bit ago after Pascal's request, Liv was kind of at a loss when the short engineer had disappeared. Her own expertise was medical- she'd wanted to be a heart surgeon, then it'd turned to assistant medical examiner, and now pathologist. And now she was researching this place on her own and that meant doing what she'd wanted to do to herself back before she had a lab of some kind: Staking out the Bay and waiting for someone to pop up through it. So when she saw Belle, she quickly went over and held a hand out in the 'calm, slow down' gesture. ]

I know you're probably confused, but if you could come with me and consent to a few tests, I'll explain while I do. It's really hard to get anyone to agree but if we wait until later, it might not be possible to find what I'm looking for.

[namemeansbeauty]

[Belle paused for a moment, she hadn't expected anyone to be around the Bay when she first walked out, so when another had come and asked about a few tests she couldn't help but be a tiny bit confused. What kind of tests was the first thought that passed through her mind. Best ask.]

What tests if that is okay to ask?

[livable]

A tox screen for any foreign substances and a comparison between your and the normal standard of your species. Which is OK if it's not human, no one seems to care about that here, I just need to know for comparison. I'm sure you've guessed it, but not too many people want to sign up when they first get here, even if it might be the only time we can get real answers.

[namemeansbeauty]

[While that didn't sound like much, she did wonder if maybe it might help and deep down, even though she had no idea where she was, she wanted to help in anyway possible.]

I guess I'll sign up if it gives you answer.

[livable]

Well. It may hopefully provide some information that might help find an answer. I don't want to lie, it's probably a long shot. But I am a doctor so anything I find is confidential unless it helps us get out of here and what am I saying you already agreed.

[ Liv motions toward her car on the street. ] Would you rather walk or drive? I'll understand if you don't want to get in a car with a stranger.

[namemeansbeauty]

[She had already agreed, if it meant helping out in some way or another. It was her choice and she felt comfortable with it even if she had only just arrived here.]

I would quite like a walk, if that is okay. It's not that I don't want to get n, I just quite like the fresh air.

[livable]

[ A firm nod was in response before Liv swung around to start leading the way to Genessia Hospital. ]

Not the worst idea after waking up in another world. It's a few blocks away, I can come get my car later.

[namemeansbeauty]

[Belle followed behind quietly for a moment.]

Is beig in a new world something you were use it, if it's okay to ask?
