Not all doors should be opened.

The most recent door into the Nexus was, well, a literal door. A rather fancy door, actually: deep mahogany, a brass handle and hinges, and intricate detailing all over. It hovers there, a few feet off the floor, and for a few moments, nothing happens. Just as suddenly as it appeared though, it opened, a yelp heard as a blonde teenager falls through it. "Ow..." Lily Jordan sat up, rubbing her back and adjusting her glasses. "Didn't expect to find that in the manor." She looked up at the floating door before looking back to her surroundings, the brochures catching her eye.

Picking one up, Lily read it over, blue eyes taking in everything before widening some. "Oh dear..." She bit her lip, a fang showing briefly before she walked back to her door. Before she could get within arm's reach, it suddenly, inexplicably slammed shut. Her eyes widened yet again, this time in slight panic as she ran to it, running her hands along the bottom edge, but no dice. "No... No, no, no!" She jumped, but even with her vampiric abilities, she couldn't quite reach the doorknob. She huffed some after a third failed attempt, shaking her head and pulling hair behind her ears. She looked around, patted over her body, but didn't find what she was looking for. Keeping a hand on the bottom of the door, she looked up again. "Hey, um... Does anyone have a knife I can borrow?"

"Well, if you ever feel like reading anything in particular, let me know." She nodded, smiling. "I'll be happy to go on a fetch quest for you." Lily was no stranger to helping people out, after all.

"I'll read anything with a cowboy on the cover," he says with a laugh. "Ain't always the readin' type, but I'll take those. Hell, I'll take most anything you got lyin' around cuz I know some of my folks would love to see somethin' fresh in our little library downstairs. Guy was tellin' me just the other day that if he reads one more romance novel, he's gonna pull out his only eye." And it'd be easy too! Since, you know, zombies.

"Let's say you secure a few paperbacks and we'll call it even on the knife-loanin', how bout that?" Jesse give her a wink.

"I definitely have a few of those laying around." Pulling her hair back, Lily smiled, chuckling faintly at the wink. "You've got a deal."
