Odd Research Topics (Tag Coraline)

Not only did the Center have the most wonderful Bookstore but they always had a very large and extensive library that was filled with books on every topic imaginable. When Twyla had first entered the library, she had used one of the computers to do a quick search of the library databases for books to read and to do some research on various topics. Some topics were related to her powers, for example Light, the Refraction of Light, and the Absence of Light and the creation of Shadows. Other topics were simply for her own enjoyment and to satisfy her own curiosity, for example the Theory of Chaos and the N-Body Problem. This had lead her to pulling out a wide variety of books as well as a few that she hadn't researched but had merely caught her eye. Once Twyla had a huge stack of books and was physically unable to carry anymore, only then did she finally sit down at a table and begin to read. She set up the many piles of books around her as if they were the building blocks of a great fortress of knowledge in which Twyla was the Scholar Queen of the written realm. With a quiet smile, Twyla selected a book on Light and Light Refraction, opened it up and began to read.

It took Twyla a moment to register that someone was talking to her. She tended to get lost in her reading. But the 'hey' was loud enough and obnoxious enough to startle Twyla out of her mental wandering. When she looked up at the girl who was speaking to her, she was rather surprised by how rude and forward the girl was. For a moment, Twyla considered being rude back to her and telling her to go bother the Head Librarian for help. But the quiet 'please' made her pause and reevaluate her initial observations.

"Rude, obnoxious, very forward as if attempting to be assertive, possibly a defense mechanism. Most likely highly independent and therefore has issues asking for help. Probably also has issues with authority." Twyla thought as she stared at the other blue haired girl. Sighing, Twyla tore a piece of paper out of the notebook she had brought with her and put it inside the book to mark her place. She then closed the book and once more stared at the other girl. "I am not sure how much assistance I will be able to give you as I only just arrived at the Center myself a few days ago. However, I do know my way around libraries so I will see that I can do." Twyla said as she stood up.

She then gestured for the other girl to follow her. She quickly led the way to one of the many computers and sat down in front of it. "Before we begin, have you used library databases or library search engines before? Because if so, you probably know how to do this already as most libraries use the same or similar systems." Twyla said as she clicked the search engine icon and up popped a page that lead to the library's main site.
