Fifth Miracle

[beamiracle]

[It's the weekend, and there's no school. And since Lion's a teacher and he's already finished marking assignments, there really isn't anything to do. More specifically, there isn't anything around the house to read. So what does that mean? A trip to the library!

A. If anyone's in the library today, chances are they'll see Lion perusing the

B!

[[Aaron comes over to help, waving.]]

Hello, want some help carrying those?

[beamiracle]

Huh? Oh no, I'm perfectly fi--aaah!

[Barely manages to rescue a falling book. Don't listen to Lion, Aaron, he's just an overly polite Japanese person.]

[pants_yourmove]

[[Will step forward and helpfully lift the top several off the stack.]]

That was close. Don't worry about it, I'm heading the same way.

[[No he isn't, but Aaron can lie to be polite.]]

Oh, car repairs. You interested in working on cars?

[beamiracle]

Thank you very much...

[A rueful laugh.] Not really, to be honest. It's just that I was looking for something to read at the library, and it seemed these were the only kinds of books I could find.

[pants_yourmove]

Oh... oops.

[[Aaron was hoping to talk cars but...]]

Yeah, they don't have a lot to read here I guess.

[beamiracle]

It really is amazing how the whole library seemed to have books on just one subject...

[pants_yourmove]

Everything here is kind of amazing and terrifying.

[beamiracle]

Ha, that's definitely true.

[pants_yourmove]

So, what's your home like? Everyone is from strange places.

[beamiracle]

Oh, well, there's nothing that strange about my world. [The other worlds that apparently exist alongside it, however...] I'm from Japan, and I'm next in line to be the head of my family.

[pants_yourmove]

Oh, cool. There are a lot of people here from Japan. And then a lot from weird worlds. Though I guess we are the weird ones to them right?

[beamiracle]

Yes, I suppose we are.

May I ask where you're from?

[pants_yourmove]

New Jersey, in the United states. So not so strange.

[beamiracle]

I see. I've never been to America myself, but my grandfather always wanted to go. He has a bit of a fixation on Western things.

Oh, I should introduce myself. Lion Ushiromiya.

[pants_yourmove]

If you visit, don't visit Jersey.

Oh, yeah. I'm Aaron Taylor.

[beamiracle]

Pleased to meet you.

Oh? Why is that?
