Today’s Shy Look
Lv Ⅰ   CoinNegativeIcon.png0
Abnopage LookoftheDay.png
Look of the Day
[Single Ally]
The librarian’s face constantly shifts.
Dice gain different amounts of Power depending on the current face. (Min. -2, Max. +2)
Anger is fierce.

One sunny day, just like that day they sincerely dried the laundry, they dried their own skin.

  • I’m just shy, that’s all. Just shy…
  • A sad look doesn’t fit the City.
  • It’s very important to express oneself… I guess it is.
  • Do you know what kind of face you should be making?
  • Put a big smile on your face, like mine. It’s not so hard, is it?
Lv Ⅰ   CoinPositiveIcon.png2
Abnopage SocialDistancing.png
Social Distancing
[Single Ally]
Block dice gain 1-2 Power.
Deal +2-7 Stagger damage on a deflect.

If one tries to look at the face behind the skin, the result will not be pretty. The space behind their skin is the only personal space they have left. Leaving it uninvaded is the last bit of generosity the City can offer.

  • Please don’t look at what’s behind this. It’s the least you can do…
  • We need to keep an appropriate distance. Far enough for everyone to be comfortable.
  • There’s a line between us, around here. Please stay on the other side of this line, at the very least.
  • Don’t come any closer. Don’t cross my line…
Lv Ⅱ   CoinPositiveIcon.png1
Abnopage Shyness.png
Shyness
[Single Ally]
When using a page, all Block dice on that page gain Power equal to the number of Defensive dice on said page.

The inability to show one’s face is perhaps a form of shyness. When throbbing emotions surge up from time to time, it’s best to simply cover the face.

  • I’m just shy, that’s all. Just shy…
  • Sorry. You’ll get used to it in time…
  • Maybe it’s to protect myself.
  • Sometimes, I’m choked with feelings I can’t describe.
The Red Shoes
Lv Ⅰ   CoinNegativeIcon.png-2
Abnopage Glitter.png
Glitter
[Single Ally]
At the start of the Scene, each enemy is Allured at a 50% chance.
Allured enemies prioritize this librarian as a target, and deal +2-4 damage with attacks.
Gain 1-2 Power in clashes against Allured enemies.

The shoes were colorless.
They will soon turn red.

  • The red is so vivid, isn’t it simply dazzling?
  • Once you get rid of that person… The shoes are all yours.
  • It’s fine. It won’t be hard to take the shoes off their feet if you chop at their ankles.
  • Don’t you want to be the one shining the brightest here?
  • This glamour should be yours alone.
Lv Ⅱ   CoinNegativeIcon.png-2
Abnopage Obsession.png
Obsession
[All Characters]
All characters apply twice as many stacks of Bleed.

I’ll break your legs, then you won’t be able to dance ever again.

  • I should be the one in the spotlight!
  • Only I should perform an elegant dance…
  • I’ll make you unable to dance forever.
  • If I rendered those legs unusable, could I take the position of the protagonist?
  • Show me your one last dance.
Lv Ⅰ   CoinNegativeIcon.png-1
Abnopage Axe.png
Axe
[Single Ally]
Slash dice gain 1-3 Power.
Take 2-5 Stagger damage when a Slash attack does not connect. (Excludes Mass Attacks)

At some point, <Redacted> was wearing the shoes, grinning from ear to ear. It was uh, well it was quite strange. That wasn’t a smile. It was…

  • Hone the axe over and over… So that it can chop them off in one swing.
  • The desires you’ve amassed… Unravel the emotions you’ve concealed and repressed…
  • The sanguine red axe… Nothing could be more beautiful.
Spider Bud
Lv Ⅰ   CoinPositiveIcon.png1
Abnopage Cocoon.png
Cocoon
[Single Ally]
On hit, if the dice rolled maximum value: inflict 1-2 Paralysis, Bind, and Fragile next Scene.(Excludes Mass Attacks)

Unsurprisingly, not a single employee volunteered to retrieve the corpse of their cocooned colleague.

  • What careless fool stepped on my baby?
  • Few realized that the food inside my cocoons were not dead.
  • Spider’s poison is unique, it prevents its victim from dying too quickly.
  • Watch your step. If you didn’t, then watch your head.
  • No one dared to save my hunt.
Lv Ⅱ   CoinPositiveIcon.png0
Abnopage Meal.png
Meal
[Single Ally]
On hit against a Staggered enemy, all allies recover 2-4 HP.(Excludes Mass Attacks)

Peter was dragged to the ceiling in only a moment. The cocooned employee hanging off the ceiling of the Containment Unit will be a healthy meal for the spider’s offspring.

  • Rejoice. You will bring joy to my offspring.
  • Growing children are always hungry.
  • It’s all for our survival, it couldn’t be helped.
  • It’s relieving to have plenty of food.
  • Well now, we have a tasty meal ready for consumption… Come, children.
Lv Ⅱ   CoinPositiveIcon.png2
Abnopage Alertness.png
Alertness
[Single Ally]
Enemies lose 1 Power in clashes against the selected librarian.
Upon winning a clash, inflict 1 Bind and Fragile next Scene at a 50% chance.

The eyes shone in the dark, searching for prey to feed to its spiderlings.

  • To clearly see in the darkness…
  • It would be troubling to miss my prey.
  • I can never take my eyes off them. You never know what’ll happen to my offspring…
  • I shall be precise this time…
Laetitia

When the ‘Giftee’ dies, a new ‘Gift’ can be given.

And when the kid meets someone she likes, she will give them a gift made all by herself. The gift’s content is a secret though!

  • When you open the gift, you’ll be surprised, like WHOA!
  • What’s inside the gift? That’s a secret! It’s boring to spoil it.
  • It’s a heartfelt gift I made myself. I want you to take it!
  • Whoops… There goes the secret of the gift.
Lv Ⅱ   CoinNegativeIcon.png-1
Abnopage FunnyPrank.png

The first die of any Combat Page the librarian plays will always roll either the maximum or minimum value.
Take 2-7 damage if it rolled the minimum value.

So this little lady has made a decision! To stay here and never leave until laughter is restored to this place!

  • Play with me! Join my friends and laugh with us.
  • How was my prank? It was fun, wasn’t it? Your face says so!
  • I don’t hear any laughter… They all look sad.
  • I want you to be pleased with my pranks!

The page with the ‘friend’ gains 2-4 Power.
However, if the page is not used within 2 Scenes, it exhausts, dealing 2-7 damage to the librarian.

She was so sad that she had to leave her dear friends behind, so she came up with a brilliant idea!

  • I couldn’t leave my dear friends behind… So I came up with a brilliant idea!
  • Don’t you worry~ Only meanies hurt friends.
  • This place will get livelier the more friends I have!
  • I hope to find lots of friends here too~
Dream of a Black Swan

Abnopage GooeyWaste.png
Gooey Waste
[Single Ally]
Upon winning a clash, inflict 1 Bind, Fragile, Bleed and Paralysis to all enemies next Scene. (Twice per Scene)

Elijah fell to her knees and finally started to puke up the thing everyone else was vomiting.

  • The lake ripples gently. As if a number of swans just took flight.
  • I was faced with reality. The things swelling up inside spilt right out.
  • I began to puke up the thing everyone else was vomiting.
  • As if my lungs were stabbed, it bursts forth as I breathe.
  • I threw up a mixture of blood and green waste.
Lv Ⅲ   CoinNegativeIcon.png-2
Abnopage Well-wornParasol.png
Well-worn Parasol
[Single Ally]
Gain 2-3 Speed.
When hit, nullify the damage at a 30% chance, and return double the amount back to the attacker as Stagger damage.

Believing that it would turn white, the black swan wanted to lift the curse by weaving together nettles. All that was left is a worn parasol it once treasured.

  • What happens when the black swan wakes up from dreaming of a white swan?
  • All that I had left was the parasol and this brooch.
  • The sun was too bright, I had to shade it off.
  • I yearned to have a dream I would never wake up from, but reality was cruel as ever.

She began to look for her brothers. Her family who needed to wear the nettle clothing to be free from the curse. Ones whom she shared happy dreams with.

  • Although they didn’t have anything to pass onto her, they had honesty and diligence as their most valuable treasure.
  • I believed… that there had to be a way for everyone to be happy.
  • I thought if I just worked a little harder, things would work themselves out.
  • My family, who should have been freed by wearing the nettle clothing…
  • We shared happy dreams with each other.
