...fruit basket?

What the hell?

Hn.

[writing one from hereon]

Would someone be so friendly as to tell me where I could find the library?

I was beginning to wonder if you had disappeared, too.

Library's down the path from the tea shop; take the left fork toward the school house and you can't miss it.

Oh, and there's a new kid here; seems fresh. He called your name, though he might be after another Aya. Who knows -- we've already got multiple Alberts and Lloyds.

kudaran314 January 5 2008, 11:03:17 UTC

Unfortunately no, I'm still here. I've noticed you've been busy with festive things.

Thank you.

I noticed. I don't seem to recognize him, so he must look for someone else. Probably?

nowarstowin January 5 2008, 11:08:03 UTC

Ah, the usual. Yes, but now it's over but for a few stray strands of lights in the trees.

No problem. It's a weird place, and the information is dry and damn near useless unless you're interested in the inventories of miscellaneous shops over the last several decades or Filial lineages, but definitely worth a look.

Yeah, probably, but I get this feeling he's talking about you anyway. If you run into him, be gentle -- he seems pretty traumatized, even moreso than the new folk usually are.

kudaran314 January 5 2008, 11:15:09 UTC

All good things end eventually? Need a hand in cleaning up?

I didn't really think I'd find anything worth of my time there. But I'd like to have all my bases covered. And it would give me something to do.

Hm, okay. I'll keep that in mind.

nowarstowin January 5 2008, 17:37:48 UTC

Ah; this is quite true. I think we got most of it, but if you see anything that needs to come down, you're more than welcome.

True enough. It's a calming place, though I can't help but think there's something ... strange, there.

Thank you.

Thanks. [It's easy to hear the dry amusement in his tone of voice. His next question is completely serious, however.]

Strange? How do you mean?

Re: Voice post. nowarstowin January 6 2008, 01:43:19 UTC

[Caesar chuckles.] Well, you did ask.

What I mean is ... there's a feeling in there -- like ... like you're being distracted, somehow. It's impossible to give anything your complete concentration inside, though the feeling gets worse the closer you are to the back shelves. You'll see when you get there, I'm sure; I know I'm not the only one who felt it.

Re: Voice post. kudaran314 January 6 2008, 11:41:27 UTC

[Aya snort, but doesn't deny it.]

Hmm... Okay. Thanks for the warning. Maybe there's something we're not supposed to read?

Re: Voice post. nowarstowin January 6 2008, 11:44:42 UTC

I'm assuming as much, though why whey would choose to do that as opposed to simply taking the offensive material into custody is another matter altogether.

Unless it's a Filial protection, as opposed to a Malnosso interference. In that case, perhaps the survivors are protecting something important.

Re: Voice post. kudaran314 January 6 2008, 12:27:27 UTC

It sounds like something... something that is not my area of expertize. I have to wonder if someone here might have better speculations about it?

I suppose there could be any variety of motives behind it. I would treat it carefully, it also might be a trap. However, you mention a point that makes me think we should move this conversation to some other time and place.

Re: Voice post. nowarstowin January 6 2008, 12:31:38 UTC

Mine either, unfortunately. I'll see if I can't find someone more supernaturally-inclined.

Agreed, on all counts.

Re: Voice post. kudaran314 January 6 2008, 14:06:21 UTC

Mn. Let me know if you find anything?

[He's nodding. But that doesn't show, does it?]

Voice post. nowarstowin January 6 2008, 19:35:53 UTC

Absolutely; it's a promise.

Hey, while you're down there, keep an eye out for a map, would you? I know Albert intends on heading that way eventually, but if I can save him a trip, more's the better. (I don't know if he's fully healed yet, though he seems to be doing much better.)

Voice post. kudaran314 January 6 2008, 20:03:54 UTC

Heh.

That's one of my main interests in the library. I'll be sure to drop you a note if I can find a map. So you can tell your friend it's pointless for him to drag himself there, especially if he's hurt.

Voice post. nowarstowin January 6 2008, 20:54:06 UTC

Thank you, Aya. [He laughs.] He'll probably show up eventually, anyway, whether I say something or not; he would probably take some measure of offense at being told anything he does is pointless.

Voice post. kudaran314 January 6 2008, 21:43:12 UTC

Mn.. I wouldn't trust a stranger to do the job well enough either.

[Rustling of clothes as he shifts on his seat, sighing a little.]

Either way, I might be back before he has time to leave.

[There's a lengthy pause before he continues, as if it just came to his mind.]

Have you thought more about what we talked about the last time?
