> Head through the double doors under the balcony.
>You proceed across the room and under the balcony. Through the doors, you see row after row of shelves filled with books. Shelves of books line the walls, reaching up to the ceiling, some distance above, lining numerous landings that run along the edges of the chamber. As you look around, you see one of the books fly through the air from one shelf and settle into a different one. The shelves on the floor tower over you, forming a natural line of corridors. Many of the rows between the shelves, you not, are roped off with a lengths of velvet. You can't shake the feeling that this room is seems rather large, compared to the rest of the mansion. The air here is very dry, you get the feeling you could spit and it wouldn't have time to hit the floor.
>A green-haired woman in a curious maid's costume approaches you. It seems reasonably normal in design, but with looser sleeves than you'd expect, and a flying raiment drifting with it that seems more evocative of celestial clothing than anything else. Regarding her for a moment, you aren't sure what she is, she's definitely neither human or youkai... She bows toward you, then says, "Welcome to our library. Please feel free to browse as you like, but do not take any of the books from the premises, and please do not venture into the areas that we've cordoned away, they are dangerous."
