0142: Library [Accidental Video]

Aug 08, 2010 20:44

Rain can be seen sitting in a shadowed corner deep in the Library. She's rocking and singing quietly to herself as she pages through a book of fairytales. And if you listen very carefully, you might just hear what sounds like the Library singing as well.

Rain? That's a nice song.

She looked up, startled.

Who's there?

She peered at the device and frowned as if trying to remember.

You were... nice man? Helped me.

makes_you_tick August 9 2010, 16:40:26 UTC

[He smiles, rather unused to being called 'nice man'.] I tried. And I didn't mean to startle you.

Are you feeling better now?

livingmyths August 9 2010, 17:08:04 UTC

[She smiled shyly at him.]

It's okay. I'm good. Safe here. See? The Library sings to me.

makes_you_tick August 9 2010, 17:45:50 UTC

Is that what it's doing? I've never heard that before. Does it sing to you often?

You look like you're all set. Libraries are good places.

livingmyths August 9 2010, 18:01:40 UTC

Mmmhmmm. It does. 'Cause it likes me. I bet it would like you too, 'cause you're nice.

I love it here.

makes_you_tick August 9 2010, 18:36:36 UTC

You might be right. I should try spending more time there. I had a hard time finding specific books there earlier, but I sort of get the feeling this library's not meant for that.

Maybe it's more of a sanctuary.

livingmyths August 9 2010, 18:49:41 UTC

You get what you need sometimes.

But if you tell me, I can get whatever you want. It likes me.

makes_you_tick August 9 2010, 19:41:36 UTC

Thank you. I'll ask if I ever have anything really pressing. But I think I can stand to only get what I need for awhile.

livingmyths August 9 2010, 19:42:48 UTC

Okay.

Do you have a name? I think I forgot.

makes_you_tick August 9 2010, 19:48:45 UTC

I don't know if I ever did give it to you.

It's Gabriel. And it's good to meet you in such better circumstances, Rain.

livingmyths August 9 2010, 19:52:03 UTC

Gabriel. I like that.

Yes. No more digging.

makes_you_tick August 9 2010, 20:01:45 UTC

Thank you. I've found I like it more as time goes on. I like your name, too.

Exactly.

livingmyths August 10 2010, 02:43:25 UTC

It's 'cause that's what the ancestors named me. Rain.

I was scared, Gabriel.

makes_you_tick August 10 2010, 17:23:13 UTC

It feels right.

And you don't have to be scared anymore. You're safe now.

livingmyths August 10 2010, 18:49:00 UTC

Yep. Ancestors said so, so it's right.

I know. The Library will keep me safe. And Barnabas too.

You can come here if you're scared if you want.
