Who: Open to everyone
What: #TeamTranquillity are in it to win it. Deciding to work together, the gang has taken over the library and converted it into a space for weary residents of Hadriel to catch their breath and just take it easy amid the intensifying competition in the city to invoke one emotion or another.
Where: The Library
When: March 15th to March 21st, duration of the event.
Warnings: Will Update if necessary!

[Hadriel's library has unfortunately seen little use; the books are either unreadable or cover material so random that only Hope someone who completely did not understand the concept of fun would have picked those books. Little wonder it's hardly frequented by Hadriel's residents.

But it's still a library: meaning, it's got plenty of space, and plenty of peace and quiet.

So with all the chaos erupting over the city? It could make the perfect sanctuary, a place to take a breather from the emotion wars. A place where a person could unwind over a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, knit a sweater in peace, or even plunge themselves into pillow/blanket fort and just take a nap. A place to relax.

A place for Tranquillity.

Which is why Team Tranquillity has taken over the library and converted it into a mini R&R. Tables and chairs have been pushed to the side to allow for floor space, and comfortable chairs, sofas and even beanie bags, all in softer pastel colours, dot the empty space. A couple of tables and chairs have been left as well, so that those in need of them can use them as they'd like. And of course, the giant pillow fort bundled in one corner for people to unceremoniously throw themselves into.

The members of Team Tranquillity are all around to ensure that your time in the Tranquillity Space is as relaxing as can be. Some members are even offering services, ranging from massages to meditation, gentle exercises to a steaming hot cup of joe. Knitting classes, advice on handling emotional stress when under torture and trauma, and even some fortune-telling for light laughs.

And it's perfectly alright to drag a beanie bag to your own personal corner and just crash there for the day. No judgement from Team Tranquillity.

A message is sent out via the network to inform Hadriel's citizens of the new place in town to get away from it all. Drop by whenever, do what you need to relax and recharge. It's a stressful world out there, and sometimes we all need to take some time to chill out, right?

Welcome, to the Tranquillity Space.

The—yeah, that's the one. I've seen one with my own two eyes, but I couldn't really tell you how it works.

[He shrugs; he's not an engineer. He's just seen an engine sitting in a crate and thought it was impressive...] It must be something else, if they're talking about replacing horses with 'em.

Horses--

[Well. This is awkward. Danse glances down at his drink, hands wrapped around the warm mug. How does he go about this...? He looks back up at Ned and tries, cautiously, to explain that technology has gone so much further ahead than coal and horses.]

We're talking about two completely different railways. I don't know how further back you are, but by the 20th century London has developed an underground railway rapid transit system that covers most of Greater London and stretches out to further districts surrounding the city.

[This is probably the most interesting thing Ned has ever heard in his entire life. His eyebrows go up, intrigued, the second he hears there are different railways involved, and he leans forward on his elbow to hear more.]

Underground? No kidding? That's genius, gotta say... What else do you know about it?

Not much else, I'm afraid. The Underground or the Tube, as colloquially known, was the preferred mode of public transportation around the city. It also ran on diesel fuel rather than coal, which is what I suspect was used in your time.

[And then there was a massive war that led to the disintegration of his world's version of the EU, and god only knows what's left of London at this point. Ned might notice all the past tense being used here.]

The Tube, [he is grinning. This is great. He's just learned about subways and now he wants five of them.] Brilliant.

[If he notices the past tense, he doesn't comment on it - so far almost everyone's been from the future comparatively, anyway, so it doesn't really register anymore. Underground trains, on the other hand...] That must've taken years to build. Maybe I'll get outta here and see it myself, if I live long enough.
