[If you are in the Grand Library, you might find your eye caught by the patron who just walked in. She's somewhat tall, with ankle-length, lavender hair. She's wearing glasses, a black shirt, and denim capris. Not the kind of woman you're used to seeing.

She walks in, passes the front counter, sits down at a computer for five minutes, then walks off into the many, many shelves found in the building. She emerges with a book, then heads to the lounge to settle in and read. Eventually, enough time will pass that she'll decide she can't finish the book in the library, so she returns to the shelves, takes another book, and checks both books out.

If you would like to talk to her, you may do so at any point in the library or on the road between the Grand Library and the Palace District villa.]

I, too, have multiple names. You can call me Rider.

[oforder]

Yes, I am aware. My observation of those who were brought here extends beyond these primitive commutation devices.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

[At that, Rider bristles. She wants absolutely no one to learn of her true identity.]

What kind of observation...and how much do you know?

[oforder]

I am able to predict all possible futures, including one where your identity will be revealed. Thankfully, however, I do not care about it, nor did it hold my interest long enough for me to find out. It is not the movements of your consciousness that I am trying to track.

[ At that, Wilhelm takes a sip of his wine. ]

I am more interested in the gods themselves.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

[This was unnerving. This was totally different from someone knowing her past. Rider was still tense.]

What about the "gods" here interests you?

[There's a hint of derision in her voice. It seems she doesn't think too highly of them.]

[oforder]

I wish to compare them to the God of my own universe.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

Is there a reason why you wish to do that?

[oforder]

Call it... curiosity.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

...It sounds to me like you possess one of humanity's most compelling qualities, then.

[oforder]

I suppose I should be flattered, then. However, very few, even from my own universe, would consider me human.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

I got that impression from the way you spoke earlier.

[oforder]

Regardless, it is my purpose for existing to ensure humanity does not cause its own destruction.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

A tall order if ever I heard one.

[oforder]

And that is why I was created.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

...You seem quite willing to divulge much about your origin.

[oforder]

There is no reason to hide it in a place like this.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

Perhaps that is true, in your case.

[oforder]

Are you truly so afraid of someone discovering your personal history?

[gorgeous_gorgon]

All I will say is that I have justifiable reason to withhold it.

[oforder]

Do you feel threatened?

[gorgeous_gorgon]

No. That is not my reason.

[oforder]

I see.

[ Wilhelm is interested, but not enough to find out on his own. ]
