 		[UPDATE] Quirky Acuity-6th December
Quote:
Book update
Category: me
Time: 02:20 PM

From what I hear, you're making good progress on writing this book. That's great news - we'll get our hands on this diary soon, or my name's not Violet Kiteway.

Actually, perhaps I'll have to change my name, because it turns out we can't really get our hands on the book. It's very fragile, and has to be kept in some special preservation chamber. Most of Granier's diary has been known about and studied for many decades, but this piece is new. It's the section of the diary that deals most explicitly with the conflict and was sealed up with the rest of those documents more than 200 years ago - the pages look like they were ripped right out of the diary and shoved into the sealed archive.

Apparently, when I finally get to look at it, I'll have to look at one leaf at a time, and be supervised by an expert in the care of ancient documents. Luckily, my boss Cymbalisty is such an expert, so it's good that I put in the request for the document through him. Unluckily, that means I'll have to be in the same room as him for hours at a time looking at this manuscript. The things I do for you guys.

Actually, I might be able to ask one of the new guys to help. Two new junior librarians arrived at the end of last week, to help out with the archiving around the museum exhibit: Jason Mariem and Miranda Katsoulis. They seem pretty nice, if a bit gung-ho about the whole archiving thing. The enthusiasm of two people who haven't spent 10 hours a day for the past two months on this particular task. In fact, when Kurt came by to pick me up this evening, I thought he seemed a little interested in Miranda. We shall see.... Anyway, I'll talk to them tomorrow. If either of them have a qualification in "ancient document management" I could bypass Cymbalisty entirely.

Methinks Jason and Miranda may be up to no good

Hiya Violet,

just a quick word of caution after your last blog entry...I would be wary of involving more people than necessary, particularly with respect to new and apparently keen members of staff. Cymbalisty may be a pain, but better the devil you know.

cheers

MikeyJ

PS

Book coming along well and it'll certainly be...unique, and definitely earthy.


Although...do we have any reason to trust (or not to trust) Cymbalisty yet? I seem to remember at some point an indication that there were moles in the library?

There are some questions about how trustworthy Violet is so I guess we need to take a few risks to get things moving...

Oh, and we're about halfway there with submissions for the book but we need to keep them coming in as the deadline is creaping ever closer!!

Violet doesn't like the guy, but I don't think we have any real reason to suspect he's up to something. He seems to be interested in Violet, which is why she doesn't want to be alone in a room with him:
