an unsolicited starter for @noircbbon !
ââ- As with any city she has lived in or visited for prolonged periods of time, Spirale seems to open up surprises at every step, pieces of history & lore and little shops & hidden places previously invisible to her seeking eyes. Owlâs Books is a welcome find, a gently enclosed space like a new dimension upon entrance -- it is not empty, as her entrance has been preceded by staff and other customers settled in with a book, but the ambient noise does not overwhelm, light as the turn of a page.
-- For once ( multiple times in a day, actually, but especially now ) sheâs glad she doesnât have Widget to blurt out that one of the staff has cat ears. She still hasnât figured out how to turn off that function.Â
âAh -- hello!â Youâre staring. Stop that, Athena, itâs rude. âI didnât know this existed! Anyway, hi, Iâm looking for -- â And yet her eyes continue to wander upwards with very little subtlety. â--anything on law? Iâm interested in Spiraleâs legal system.â
She grimaces a little. âIf it even has one. I heard itâs kind of a mess.â
