Who: Sable and anyone who happens to be in the Trailblazer dorms.

Where: Trailblazer dorms.

When: Late April

What: Sable is trying to get oriented and having no idea how to do that.

Warnings: Probably nothing?

In all honesty, Sable has no idea what se is doing. It's pretty much that simple. Se had been travelling, scraping by on what se could, and now that se had a place to stay and people who se really need to get to know, se was clueless.

So that's why se is wandering the Trailblazer dorms, uncertain and yet curious at the same time. Se is a little lost, a little confused and a lot worried se is going to mess something up here.

But well, what can se do but try? There's not really any going back at this point.

It takes a moment for that to sink in, partly because Peony isn't sure at first that she didn't mishear. Honestly, she's not even sure how a library turning into a human would work, but she sees no reason to assume that what Sable says isn't true - and every reason to assume it is, because she definitely wants to believe that a library could turn into a human, because it's like a fairy tale in the best possible way.

"REALLY?!" she squeals, then, picking up on Sable's softer volume, quiets down. "Oops, sorry! But- oh my gosh that's so amazing!"

"That really would be hard to get used to, though," she adds. "But I bet you can do it! I mean- I couldn't even tell you didn't used to be a human until you told me, so that's gotta be a good sign!" She smiles encouragingly; who even knows what sort of cues might have tipped her off, but whatever, they didn't.

Sable nods zir head. "Mmmhm. Yes! I....Things happened and then I was different. I had all these....>Limbs." Ze laughs a little nervously. "I know what I'm supposed to do but I really don't know what I'm doing."

Ze wonders if that even makes sense.

"Hmm. Well, what are you supposed to do? Unless you just meant eating and talking and doing human stuff like that," she adds with a giggle. "Either way, I'm sure you'll figure it out, just keep doing your best!"

She pumps a fist enthusiastically, completely unaware of or apathetic to how cheesy that sounded.

Sable bits zir tongue, unsure if ze should even say. On one level ze wants to. It would be nice to tell someone who would immediacy know and maybe be able to help, on the other hand, ze can't eb sure who to even trust anymore.

"I uhm..." Ze shuffles zir feet. "I need to find someone. The person who hurt my Curator." Ze looked up again and there's a sad, longing expression on zir face. "She died. I have to find who did it."

Okay that is... a lot heavier than she had really been prepared for. "O-oh," she says softly. She shuffles awkwardly a bit, like she's not sure how she's supposed to handle this. "I'm sorry, that's... yeah."

She so does not know what to do here, she can't even think of a way to change the subject without being completely insensitive and obnoxious (as opposed to somewhat insensitive and obnoxious).

Sable nods, looking a little like ze isn't sure what to do either. "Mmhm, I have to find them. That's...It's why I'm here, with fingers and toes. I need to make it better, or at least make it even."

"Ooh, yeah! Uh- good luck!" At least the knowledge that something's going to be done about it makes this a little better.

Really, one would think that superhero business (and hanging around other heroes-in-training) would have gotten Peony used to other people's upsetting backstories.
