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

Comments

the work was a lie.

[i_themagician]

[Clow has to restrain himself from just dashing off and disappearing among random shelves, the sight and scent of so many books filling him with a child-like sense of wonder and glee~. He can't be running off now - he's supposed to be chaperoning this thing, so it certainly won't do to act like a child himself.]

Whatever we find will be perfect. [he voices this, speaking to the library itself, but mostly just to reassure himself. He doesn't want to find any books on lint and... well, not too much porn.]

Dirty old man >:

[oodzuchi]

[ Rabi wondered, briefly, if anyone in the group was prone to getting lost-- it'd certainly be best to keep an eye on them, but then again, there seemed to be plenty of staff around, in case anyone wandered off the wrong way. Rubbing his hands together excitedly, he turned to Clow. ]

Haha, we can only hope so. I'm off to find the cookbooks. See you in a bit, eh?

EVERYONE NEEDS PORN, OKAY?

[i_themagician]

[Clow grinned, and briefly considered following him - he had been wanting to try some new recipes for a while... but ultimately decided to head for the fiction section first.]

Sure. I'll probably head that way in a little while, too.

[besides which, the fiction section was probably where a lot of the younger kids would be going anyway. So, subtly adjusting the bag on his back (it was vaguely like a backpack and vaguely not) containing the half of the picnic lunch that he had brought, he began... well, meandering in the direction of the fiction section, because one can hardly walk through a place with so many books without getting distracted by something.]

THIS IS TRUFAX-- I mean, what? --Also, epic fail, photoshop sucked me in DX

[oodzuchi]

[ Rabi raised a hand to Clow and started off towards a random section, planning to wander around and familiarize himself with the layout. ]

Have fun~!

[inbetrayal]

[Lucy looks around the library, her own bag held close to her as she walks around, picking out books she'd like.]

[She opens one and flips through it.]

...A map of the City. That could be... useful.

[The last is muttered. She puts the book into her bag, and continues on.]

html phail =_=

[i_themagician]

They usually are. [when did he get there? god only knows, but he's looking at the shelves full of books as if he's not looking for anything in particular, a stack of assorted tomes already in his arms.]

[ooc: hope it's okay. >.> I saw a lonely comment and thought I'd reply.]

[inbetrayal]

[Lucy looks up with a start, staring at the man. She hadn't even noticed him until he had started to speak, she notices. She needs to pay more attention to those around her.]

Pardon, but I don't know your name.

And yes, I would have to agree with that statement.

[ooc: totally fine. :D <3]

[i_themagician]

[smiling sweetly as if oblivious to having startled her] Clow Reed. And yours, madam?

[lyra_of_dust]

[Lyra's already gathered a stack of books, and she's now leafing through them idly. Most of them are about various natural sciences, though there are a few atlases and adventure stories mixed in.]

[madly_blooming]

[Her finding the group at the library was sheer coincidence, but who is she to refuse companionship and what looks like free lunch? With a bundle of books clutched to her chest (history, romance, and of course, horror), she seats herself near a familiar face.]

Hello~! Lyra, is it?

[lyra_of_dust]

Yes, that's right. You're Ichiru's friend, Maria, en't you?

[madly_blooming]

I am. May I ask what you're reading?

[bright_shield]

*Looks up in surprise at the large group that has just entered the library, which is usually more empty than not. Of patrons, at least, if not exactly somewhat suspicious books. He looks down at the somewhat suspicious book he's just randomly pulled off the shelf. 'Crimson Spell', eh.... and wait, was that tentacles?!

Right. Not the spell he's looking for.

Carefully he puts it back and sloooowly edges away.*

[i_themagician]

[picks up that same book and quickly thumbs through it... no, it's not the spell he's looking for, either.]

... What an unfortunate mis-shelving. [flip, flip]

[i_themagician]

[what was he doing? Oh, right! Riou was just here. Setting the book down and backing away now. He was just curious, anyway - what did the plot of that book have to do with the color crimson?]

... Riou?

[bright_shield]

Yes. Unfortunate. Library's rather busy today, eh?

*With a fixed smile on his face, he continues stealthily edging away, right up to the moment that he stealthily bumps backward into a nearby shelf, causing one of the heavier books to fall to the floor with a muffled 'thwump'.

'Finding True Love in a Man-Eat-Man World: The Intelligent Guide to Gay Dating, Sex, Romance, and Eternal Love'. He instantly recognizes it, sighs, and speaks (not-so-stealthily) without thinking.*

That book again?

[small_comfort]

[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?
