The Next Note
The Quiet Man · Mantle
Nobody speaks on the Library Moon, where every word is a slip filed within the hour, and Abigail hunts The Quiet Man, a Mantle whose long gray fingers leave correct notes under cups three rows away, and she can't stop reading them before the night shelvers change shift.
On the boardHas never spoken. Leaves notes. Every note is correct. Abigail can't stop reading them.
WhereThe Library Moon (street name: the Reading Room), The Goom. A hush of shelves where a silent man leaves notes.
How it feelsDim lamps, soft paper, no echo.
House ruleNobody speaks; all speech is written on a slip, filed within the hour, and read by whoever finds it.

The people
Mantle
Gray coats of fine fur and faces that don't move. They read minds poorly and read bodies perfectly.
Honest, reserved, and frightening in a corridor.
