Episode 4 ‡ Slipping Away [Video/Action]

[chatwithdeath]

[If there's one good thing about working as a librarian, it's being able to read while you wait for people to checkout. At least, that's what it seems like in the video feed. Naomi is sitting at the checkout desk, reading a black book. From the title, it could possibly be a crime drama.]

... I advise against trying to sneak out with that book.

[Action] Thor Fried Chicken, lol

[Soifon just sort of stares flatly at the unconscious alien. She's at a somewhat nearby shelf, with a thick Common Plants in the Galaxy. She'd just found a copy that she could read.]

...Can it be configured to be more severe for repeat offenders?

[Action] Shhh... I'm hungry XD''

[chatwithdeath]

[Naomi stands up and looks over at Soifon]

Quite possibly. I believe this fellow was here a few days ago.

[She glances back at the alien. There are some smoldering feathers]

[Action] You would really eat that?

[its_a_promise]

[The one-armed woman set the book on a table to scan through it. Contrary to popular belief, she wasn't fluent in Chinese; there was little use for it in the Seireitei, aside from matters within her family.]

They would learn better that way.

[At least, she hoped. They probably would, if it got severe enough.]

[Action] Oh hell no

[chatwithdeath]

[She sits behind the counter and nods]

Indeed. I'll have to ask the head librarian later about those details.

[Action] Good. That's beyond even MY standards... XD

[its_a_promise]

[A small, satisfied nod. She could read it well enough.]

[Closing the massive volume, she promptly carries it over to the desk.]

As long as the end result deters theft. This ship is enough of a mass of chaos as it is.

[She doesn't sound pleased at the disorder, nosiree.]

[Action] That's beyond several standards man

[chatwithdeath]

Yes, it does. The laws against criminals aren't very efficient, but since the dead can return, arguing against them will yield no change.

[Action] But not beyond some... *stares at cat*

[its_a_promise]

That makes execution ineffective. There are many things worse than execution.

[Action] Don't eat your cat

[chatwithdeath]

Yes. Well, whatever happens to them is left to the police. So far, one person is on probation though another should be soon.

[Checking out your book, please hold.]

[Action] I wasn't talking about THAT; the cat eating the TFC!

[its_a_promise]

[Was she talking about the incident with that girl shortly after Soifon arrived?]

I see.

[Something needed to be done about this ineffective system. If only the Maggot's Nest still existed...]

[Action] Cat would totally do that... except Yoruichi

[chatwithdeath]

[Book's done]

Here. [She holds it out to Soifon]

[Action] Of course not... I hope...

[its_a_promise]

[Soifon takes the book with a nod and a 'hm'. She pauses in the middle of turning away.]

...Thank you.

[That was going to be a difficult habbit to get back into, now that her position of authority was irrelevent.]
