火 『 Six Flames 』 [ACTION // OPEN TO: LIBRARY GROUP]

[oodzuchi]

[ He whistled a faint tune as he led the motley crew on, walking alongside Clow, as he really had no idea where he was going. He had his share of the packed lunch slung over his shoulder, also containing a folded-up bag to carry back any books he checked out

[Hanatarou would head straight for the reference section-- it will not only be helpful to learn about living world medicine and health care, it's his responsibility-- but he doesn't really know where that section is, so he just wanders about for a little while examining any areas that look likely. ... He figures he'll ask for assistance if it gets to be more than about ten minutes with no luck.]

[oodzuchi]

[ Surely there'd be something about the City in the history section, right? History books were usually pretty handy-- that is... if he could find them. Everything seemed to be wherever it pleased, and that... proved troublesome.

But in his scanning, walking without quite paying attention, and at a brisk pace too, he almost ran into someone around the corner, stopping just in time. ]

Ah-- sorry! Sorry 'bout that, hahaha!

[small_comfort]

-- Ah!!

[ ... perhaps the crisis had already been averted on Rabi's end, but the sudden proximity was startling enough that Hanatarou started visibly and stumbled backward anyway. ]

... oh, Rabi-san...!

... That surprised me.

[oodzuchi]

[ He let out a surprised sound and reached a hand out to steady the boy, then laughed. ]

Sorry, sorry!! Didn't mean'ta almost run in'ta ya. You okay?

[small_comfort]

Yes, I'm fine. Thank you.

[ He would have asked 'what are you reading,' but it appears that Rabi, like himself, was still in the 'looking' stage. ]

... What kind of books are you looking for?

[oodzuchi]

[ His smile was wide, running a hand through his messy red hair. He was pretty sure he recognized this kid-- they'd talked about baking on the Network, he remembered-- Hanatarou. He hadn't given a last name, but he'd found it elsewhere on his browsing of the Network archives. Yamada, if he recalled correctly. (And he always did.) But it was only if the face matched up to the handle. ]

That's good 'ta hear-- wouldn't be th' first time I've bowled someone over, hahaha.

Ah, books I'm lookin' for? Well, I had quite a list in mind, but mostly cookbooks, reference books for th' City, an' also some books on computers an' computer coding, and some pleasure reading-- horror and science fiction, an' maybe some adventure... Oh! An' I was also lookin' for anythin' that might be about my world..

What about you, ...? Oh-- I'm Rabi. I think we've talked on th' Network before, if I'm guessin' right, haha.

[small_comfort]

Wow, that's a lot of books...! I hope you're able to find all of them.
I'm looking for medical references, myself. Different kinds of physiology, anatomy, medications, techniques... that kind of thing.

Yes! I'm Yamada Hanatarou.

[oodzuchi]

I hope I can too! This place is kinda crazy, messin' up the books an' stuff.

Would ya like me 'ta tell ya if I find any'a those?

I thought so! Well, it's nice'ta meetcha in person then, Hanatarou.

[small_comfort]

It messes them up? That explains why I couldn't find anything... I thought I just didn't understand the system.

Yes, please.

[oodzuchi]

Haha, I'm not too sure there's much of a system. I found a book earlier that claimed 'ta be a cartography book of th' City, but it was some children's book in Latin on the inside...

I'll be sure 'ta keep a lookout then~!
