Rhio set down the book she had been reading with a sigh.
She had picked it up after the RavenLord dissappeared in an
attempt to give her mind space to sort things out. Getting
sucked into the story, Rhio set her office to 'Other' so no
one could bother her, and read the book cover to cover. It
was one of her favorite Charles De Lindt compendiums, and
she become uttrly absorbed in the rich tapestry of his
imagination.

She read the last page and closed the book, feeling a
little calmer about everything. She still didn't know what
to do about the RavenLord, but she did know she was willing
to give the relationship a chance on it's own merits.

Rhio stretched her arms and legs, then set the door of her
office to BALLROOM. Walking out she noticed that the Goth
House had gone strangely silent. There was one man drinking
at the bar, but other than that no one seemed around.

"Hallooooo..." she called questioningly. Only echoes
answered her.

'Fine!' she thought, 'I'm gonna have me some fun and rock
this joint.

Rhio wandered over to the dj booth and pulled out a certain
mixed cd she kept for cleaning or doing work that needed to
get done fast, to keep her going. She would put in the cd
and not allow herself to turn it off until her work was
done. Cruel, but effective.

Popping it in, she set it on continuous play. The familiar
strains of the Beastie Boys 'You Gotta Fight..' washed
over the dance floor. SHe went down to dance but left as
soon as the song was over and wandered over to the bar. The
next song on the cd was 'Backstreet's Back' by the
Backstreet Boys, and from there it got worse. The cd
wandered through the current pop hit charts, including
gangsta rap and Britney Spears.

"That oughta wake this place up' Rhio thought,'If only so
they can come and complain about the music...'

She pured herself an Irish car Bomb and then wanderd over
to the man sitting at the bar.

"Hi,,My names Rhio. I'm the Librarian. And you are?"
