Inspired by reading The Hound Of The Baskervilles and by the Phantom/Sherlock Holmes crossover video game I am working on... Eo brings you:

Mystery!
Scenarios to boggle the mind and heighten the senses.

In each scenario, you will be presented with simple clues. Sometimes there will be a crime to solve for; other times, you are merely going to find out about a mystery person through items they leave behind. There is, as far as I know, only one rule:

1. Unless otherwise stated, Tharkun may not participate. As my RL sister, she KNOWS TOO MUCH.

Now, for the first scenario!

You are a lowly assistant librarian in the children's section of the main library in the state. All is going well, or as well as it can; you spend more time, in general, giving advice to children on Runescape than on how to find books.

All goes well, that is, till your second month. One day in August, you find a most inappropriate graphic novel in the kids' comics section upon the table in the enclave! No, it's not dirty. Well, not really...
The graphic novel is entitled Jack The Ripper. And that's exactly what it's about! You put it away on a cart in the Teen Comics section where it belongs and get back to telling kids how to forge bronze bars, shrugging it off as an isolated incident.

The very next day, you find another comic from the teen section: Ultimate Spider-Man 8: Cats And Kings. This isn't inappropriate or anything, so you leave it for people to shelf at the end of the day, lazy assistant that you are!

In two weeks, however, you've compiled an odd assortment of a list...

Monday: Jack The Ripper
Tuesday: Ultimate Spider-Man 8: Cats And Kings
Thurdsay: Architecture: Inside great buildings through the ages
Friday: The Witch's Boy

Monday: Why I Hate Saturn
Tuesday: A bunch of Scooby-Doo comics (Including The Trick-Or-Treat Trickster, The Opera Ogre, The Scary Godmother, The Boo-ty Contest, The Phantom Ranger, and the Haunted Hospital) as well as The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Thurdsay: The Elephant Man
Friday: Grey's Anatomy

You can't find whoever puts the books there; as soon as you arrive for work at 5:00, there they are, waiting for you!
Now, try and figure out exactly what kind of person is leaving this strange selection of literature for you...


[[The library is open unrealistically late, I know! XD Just work on the mystery, k?]]

Did you mean to type Thurdsay?

Ummm...parents who are watching their kids ??

Umm... as opposed to what? Oh, I forget if I mentioned, the library is closed on Wednsday and the books never turn up on Saturday.

Okay, Dog God, let's test that theory!

You decide that the one leaving the strange graphic novels and books is a parent who reads while watching their kids. After finding another inappropriately bloody graphic novel entitled Tales Of The Slayers and receiving a complaint for inappropriate comics for kids in their section, you go to Maria, a fellow librarian and parent of three who brings her children to the library every Saturday. Keeping one hand on her three-year-old son Randy's shoulder, she explains:

"Well, if it is a parent, they're a little slow to catch on. No getting around that! You don't have kids, do you?" She smirks. "I didn't think so. When you've got little kids, and you read something, they're not going to just sit still and read their own book. They'll ask you what you're reading, what it's about, who that person in the picture is, and question Voldemort's motives into the ground. If it is a parent reading about Jack the Ripper, they're going to have to explain a lot of stuff that gives adults nightmares. Not to mention-- Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics?" She snorts derisively. "I don't know many parents who read those. They're not even the same canon as the show..."

The idea doesn't seem quite as likely after that. Even Maria's somewhat disciplined kids can't stay in the same area for thirty minutes, let alone the hours it would take to read The Elephant Man.

Tuesday, you find another book, about a man named Alexander Pope. Inside it is a note-- but on the note there is nothing but the numbers for the book on the Dewey Decimal system.

[[Here's a hint. Look up some of these books on Amazon.com: There's more of a link than you think! The comics are a little harder to link together, though.]]

As opposed to Thursday. =P

...Ohhh.
XD
No, I meant to spell it Thursday. Shush, you!

XDDD

-zips mouth up-

-waddles off to figure out what the puzzle is- =P

I fell asleep while reading to little kids and sleepwalked and put the books there.

XD

By the way, I only add one set of hints a day, though I will answer and investigate guesses as many times as serious guesses are made.
