37th Wheel of Fate [Action]

[awakenedchaos]

[Today is a fairly busy day for the thirteenth Murakumo.

It's been more than a week since her own run-in with Kusanagi - enough time that she's almost completely recovered, thanks to acuitas's healing leaving her with only the blood loss and one minor complication to deal with. Most of that time, she'd spent resting or trying to occupy herself with other

[There may not be any late fees in Luceti's library, but if Nu is going to take those books she'll still need to check them out, for records sake. And who should be doing a shift at the library at the time but Bernkastel. But hey, it's been close to a year since that one time she threw a cat from the top of CH6, so bygones be bygones right?]

...

...

...Well. This is... not someone ν-13 expected to see here, of all places. Or at all, for that matter - they haven't exactly interacted since that experiment that had so many strange effects. But while she doesn't really have any positive data pertaining to Bernkastel, there isn't that much in the way of negative data, either. Just that one instance of throwing a feline out of a window on the top floor of one of the community buildings. That's not quite enough to lead to her being marked as a threat just yet.

As such, she's just going to quietly move to check out the small stack of books she picked up, remaining silent for now. It's not like this has ever caused any problem in the past, so... this time shouldn't differ much, even if someone else is handling the current shift.]

[Bern doesn't look up at Nu from her own book, which happens to be a mystery novel, until she hears the sound of someone drawing closer. Once she notices the girl she takes her bookmark and closes the book with it, pushing it to the side.]

It's been a while. How have things been?

[action]

[awakenedchaos]

...Irrelevant. [Blunt, but her intention is to simply check the books out and return to her apartment so she can go back to what she intended to do. She's already spent way too much time simply idling around here, so she doesn't see a need to spend even more time on another conversation.

...

If Bern happens to be paying attention to the books ν-13 is carrying, they all seem to be focused on the same subject: music, strangely enough. There even seem to be a few song books in that small stack of books.]

[action]

[kakeravoyager]

To the point as always.

[Really, she wasn't expecting much different. Nu was interesting, but in the same token very boring because of the lack of reaction. So she begins taking the books and writing the titles into the checkout book meticulously. It doesn't take long for her to notice the relation to music.]

You never struck me as the type to be interested in anything like this. [She was almost about the leave out the 'like this' and just settle for anything in general. But then again, she can't make quick judgments.]

[action]

[awakenedchaos]

... [Unsurprisingly, there's no vocal response from the Murakumo. It's not really that she's interested in music herself - it's just that something Ranka mentioned prior to the draft made her wonder about something. And that something requires a little bit more data than she has available at the time.

...But there's no need for anyone to know about that right now, as far as she's concerned. It's not exactly vital information for anyone but her.]

[action]

[kakeravoyager]

...Nothing to say? You aren't a wall you know.

[She asks, pausing in the checkout procedure for a brief moment.]

[action]

[awakenedchaos]

...Negative. [She doesn't really see a need to say respond, that's it, really. Not exactly the talkative type, this one.]

[action]

[kakeravoyager]

...Talking to that vegetable of a witch was easier than this.

[She says to herself, continuing to check out the books. Almost done now.]

[action]

[awakenedchaos]

...Witch...? [Okay, that term seems to alert the Murakumo's attention a bit more than anything else did so far. Witches are anything but common in her world, but they do exist - one of the Six Heroes was one, after all.

People like that exist in other worlds as well, then...?]

[action]

[kakeravoyager]

...Oh, so you talk? Yes, a witch. I'm one myself.

[action]

[awakenedchaos]

...Understood. Updating database. [Huh. Based on her appearance, she seemed closer to a beastkin of the humanoid species than a witch like Nine, if anything. Just goes to show that her scanners aren't all that great when it comes to identifying beings from a world different from her own.]

[action]

[kakeravoyager]

Database? ...Do you really just record information like that? [She's actually a bit surprised. It's obvious Nu is some kind of android (or at least that's what Bern can interpret) so it shouldn't be too strange. Though to keep such small information constantly in check like that...]

[action]

[awakenedchaos]

Affirmative. [It's not that strange, is it? Recording information makes it easier to keep track of than relying on mere memory. It's pretty handy for some things, like optimizing combat strategies against opponents based on their fighting style... or for more mundane things like the names and species of people here in Luceti.]

[action]

[kakeravoyager]

...I see. Interesting.

[With that, Bernkastel closes the check out book and pushes the stack back to Nu.]

You're all done. Have a nice day.

[action]

[awakenedchaos]

... [Well, if it's done, then ν-13's just going to pick up her stack of books and head off toward the exit. There isn't really any point in sticking around for longer than necessary, after all.]
