She keeps a mental eye on the ones who continue leering but she's not going to start anything if they don't.

One of them might be moving to follow her but gets a hand put on his arm before he can escape the awning.

Permalink

Good call, hand-putter! People can get kind of bruised if they fall suddenly unconscious from a standing position.

The rain lets up a bit, after a few minutes.

The big splashy things with the lights on them keep going by, every once in a while; she can avoid getting more soaked if she takes care to avoid them.  But at one point one of them turns unexpectedly toward her path and comes way closer to her than is comfortable.  And then makes a loud and unpleasant noise at her!

Permalink

What the hell! She is so glad she has magic boots so she can scramble out of its path without falling on her ass in a puddle!

Permalink

Once it's past her it zooms away without bothering her any more.

It's pretty cold out.  The walking's keeping her somewhat warm but even if she weren't wet it would be nippy.  And there's a bit of wind.

Is she THERE YET.

Permalink

If the beastish person's mental map was accurate she's got to walk at least three or four times the distance she already has so far to get to the library.

Permalink

She does not like this but has no superior plan. Tromp tromp.

Permalink

On her way she passes:

  • several more convenience stores
  • a place with a glowing sign of a stylized person lying down and looking twee-ly cozy, zigzag shapes next to their head
  • a little hutch with clear and unlocked doors which are not sufficient to keep the clothes hanging in it entirely dry
  • more sets of the underground stairs
  • colorful cosplay characters, not all of whom look markedly unfriendly

She would be decreasing her confidence that this is a big theme park full of cosplayers except she does not know what to fill her emptied confidence with besides "I'm confused", and she was already one hundred percent sure she was confused.

Permalink

EVENTUALLY she can get to where the person thought the library was.

...There's no library here.  At least not in the exact spot they thought it'd be, though their thoughts had more the tenor of impreciseness than deception.

Permalink

Time to look carefully at everything for a ways around to make sure she doesn't miss a library merely because she is unable to read.

Permalink

There it is, a block further in one direction and a block closer in another.  It's not really missable once she's in sight of it; the architecture's different from everything around it.  It has columns and stone statues of lots of animals in dramatic poses.

Yay. Is it open.
