Name: Stekkius Sterbo the Second. Most people call him Steve. Age: He says hes 32. Gender:male Previous Occupation:Archivist at the second Great Library built on a spacestation orbiting a planet orbiting a blue star named "Clambiought 6 DELTA" but most people called it Clam. Physical Appearance: He's a bald fellow with a wimpy little stubble beard. He stands at about 5 and 3/4 feet tall and people used to make fun of him for how short he was, but he really wasn't that short. He's a white person.
Clothing: none. wait no. He used to wear something spiffy for his job like a brown suit and tie with dark brown shoes and a dark brown briefcase. But now that he's in space he wears an orange space-suit with brown stripes going around diagonally.
Biography (not optional - at least three sentences): Stekkius Sterbo the Second (son of Stekkius Sterbo the first of the Sterbo alliance) was born on a spacestation orbiting a blue star named "Clambiogought 6 Delta". It was a great big space station with lots of people, and lots of towns and jobs. He grew up and became a glorified librarian or "Archivist" and worked at what the people living on the space station called "The Second Great Library". Many outsiders considered it pointless because who needs books when you have the internet, but the people thought it had a sort of charm to it. And it served coffee on Wednesdays.
Other: I'M PANICKING OH GOD
In the cold and far-reaches of space, it is only silence that may reach us. And within a library, that silence is amplified. The tranquil state of this library was disturbed by someone yelling very loudly. "What do you mean I can't get a refund?!" "You can't get a refund for anything you didn't buy, sir. You stole that book." "I needed firewood!" "Books aren't made of wood." "Yeah but they have paper!" "That's not technically wood. Books are still not made of wood." "But this building is!"
The man walks out, walks back in, and then walks out again. At some point during this, the library has caught alight. People (meaning the two people that are there besides you) immediately run out through the front entrance. You, being at the back of the library because your boss felt your shortness hurt public appearance and PR, are unable to run out in time as the roof collapses in front of the entrance. The other only alternate entrances are the third-story roof, and the vents. |

"Okay wow. This escalated quickly," Right. I know the layout of this place, right? For some reason, they never decided to put in a fire exit, probably because they thought it couldn't catch fire in space. But that only works if you're in space, not in a space station. The people who designed this place were whackjobs.
There was no way he was going in the vents. Instead, Steve sprinted to the nearest staircase and took it two steps at a time. |

You climb up the stairs quickly and arrive at the second floor of the library. It was a nice little place with beanbag chairs, comic books, and things that sort of resemble comic books but aren't comic books. Fire hasn't seemed to reached here yet, but it's quickly climbing the stairs like something that climbs up stairs. There's a ladder at the far-side of the room that leads up to the attic. There is a roof, but there's no way to really get on top of it. Besides the ladder, you take note of the most popular section of the library. The only reason people ever came here.
The section of the library has a bright, neon sign marking what it is. It's filled with a bunch of bookcases with a single series, and several figurines of characters from the series. Not only that, they have action figures, bobbleheads, blankets, pillows, stickers, lots of stuff. The neon sign reads "The Adventures of Haruhi Suzumiya and Adhamm!" You've never actually read anything or collected anything from this series, but you hear it's top-stuff. This will all be consumed in fire soon, however, and this may be your last chance to ever read the award-winning series. |

nope! I'm not paid enough for this.
Make a dash for the attic. |

| The fire consumes the greatest series of all time and you climb up the ladder into the cramped attic. The attic is filled with "The Adventures of Haruhi Suzumiya and Adhamm" merchandise, along with a little sign that says "APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL KIT." There's a window that you should be able to open up. Peering through it, you see that the entire station is on fire. There's a funny looking man on a rooftop with a picket-sign that reads "THE END IS NIGH, I TRIED TO WARN YOU BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN!" Just under that is something that looks like a job resume. You can hear the fire crackling underneath you, but it doesn't seem to be rising up to the attic. |

I grab the kit for (poop)s and giggles and a spot of merchandise and attempt to pry open the window, to see if there is a way down.
If it's just a straight drop from the window, check the kit for anyway to lower myself down.

| You grab a colourful backpack that has a picture of Haruhi Suzumiya on it, along with several of the books and a few figurines. Looking inside the kit, it just contains more merchandise and books. The fire doesn't seem to want to come up into the attic, and there's nothing to help you lower yourself down. You could take your chances and wait, maybe a friendly firetruck will show up, or hop down right now and risk breaking your legs. |
