[You are greeted by a man who looks nothing like his usual self, a bit lazy and unkempt and half asleep. He had a long couple of nights exploring, alright? But he runs a hand over his chin and looks thoughtful.]

You know. I was going to ask something else, but... I'd give twenty bucks I don't have for a good shave and a trim on my hair.

Yeah, you've heard it before. Doesn't change that there's necessity. Somebody ought to make a list of this stuff. Barbers, tailors, cooks, things like that.

[The feed flickers on to a young dwarf sitting at the base of a tree, the beginnings of an arrow in one hand as he went about sanding it down. The green of the oxygen gardens is something of a comfort to Kili nowadays, when he’s not at the forge, so it’s really no surprise to find him here.]

I was wondering if anybody would be welcome to bartering something for feathers I could use as fletching. I’ve a few left from before I arrived, but I would like to get a few more if I could. [A pause, head tilting.] I've not much on me, but the offer my brother and I made in our last message still stands, and we’ve managed to get our forge running. I know there were a few who had asked of it.

--That’s all for now, I suppose.

[Kili smiles brightly to the camera, and takes a moment to attempt to filter the feed away from the populace, managing it after a try or two.]

Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus

To the inhabitants of the Tranquility I, Tiberius Claudius This, That, and The Other send greeting.

We the Tranquilitii have many rooms called libraries, but few books as I have known them. Now, I am certainly less knowledgeable than most of my fellow passengers of what has passed in literature since my own day, which was a good deal earlier than that belonging to many of you, so my puzzlement over the contents of the books I have found therein is likely not shared by all. But I have read and heard enough laments at a lack of paper books that I have busied myself in seeking to gather together those we do have.

I arrived, myself, with a complete set of Livy's Books from the Foundation of the City, and Pollio's history of Rome, to which I have added several works previously collected by Petyr Baelish before his departure. All of these I would be glad to share with any who wish to borrow, and I have thought that perhaps a room might be designated a paper library.

This much I have done, but I must now ask assistance in the setting up of such a room. I thought one of the media libraries might serve, but some shelving must be cleared and the books carried in, with any other furnishings you would want in a library such as books and chairs or couches. If I am to act as librarian, it would be easiest if the books could be held within an easy distance of the tenth floor or at least the lifts, as I cannot walk very far without assistance. I am also willing to tutor anyone who is interested to read the languages I know.

Finally, if any among you possess books you would be willing to share with your fellow travellers, I do not demand them in recompense for the borrowing of books, since even if this were feasible it would be ungracious, and certainly there may be papers too delicate or precious to their owner to be lent out among strangers. But whatever you may share would be much appreciated.
