Blue slipped into the library, paying attention to every detail of it. She hadn't seen many books up close herself from where she was from. The Old Man often read a book or two when Russ was still alive; sometimes he'd read a book to both Russ and her and she'd try to listen intently to words that she couldn't always understand. But she always made a good pillow for Russ, and if there were scary parts she would know because his hands would be curling into her dark fur.

After he was killed the only book he really heard of was the Book of the Moon in passing. She doubted something like that would be here.

"I wonder if we'll be able to find anything..." she said aloud after she had settled in and, like Bakura, had slipped off between shelves. She scanned book titles, finding nothing that gave hint of those creatures that were here... but really, what was she searching for in a title?

It was only fitting they'd purchased weapons right when they had stopped being useful. Ah, well, better to have them and not use them, right? It at least would give him time to practice a little, try to get the hang of using his. Hopefully he wouldn't need the practice, but one never knew, did they?

The library, now that was impressive. Simply enormous, and rather tastefully decorated inside and out, if he did say so himself, even if he did prefer darker colors. He followed Bakura up, nodding appreciatively at the door being held, and headed for the information desk first and foremost. Why browse aimlessly when you wanted specific information.

Gaston, for his part had mostly ignored the books for a long while, choosing instead to lean back in one of the library's chairs and polish his new weaponry. That only used up so much time, though, and eventually he had to find something new to do, so he wandered through the aisles as well, not really expecting to find anything of interest to him. He never really spent any time at a library, so he felt a little awkward walking through rooms with so many books. He tried to fit in a little more by actually pulling books off the shelf and paging through them for a moment

Bakura was having a bit more luck than Jack had. Although he had not found anything on Paixao yet. Bakura pulled one book off the shelves, standing on tiptoe to reach it. The title had caught his eye. He opened the book, brown eyes, scanning the first few pages. “Ah…shortened version of the Egyptian belief?” A further flip through the book made him change his mind…why on earth would someone want to know want to know what happened if a piece of being died?

He sighed, putting it back. This place had some really weird belief systems.

He began to walk back towards a section on children’s literature. He spotted one title, a book he had borrowed once when he was starting to learn English, figuring that he could start learning the pronunciation better with a sample, even though the book had been ultimately too advanced, he had eventually learned how to read it. It surprised him that it was here, considering everything Tori had quoted at him and insisted on basic purity. It was a children’s book with insights on how unfair life is.

(( ... eeek... ))

Blue just wasn't sure. She'd found a book on sea creatures, sea fairytales, seafood, and then decided that her row was not one that would help her (even though she was still hoping for a book on "Paixao Seas" but oh well).

She wandered off, glancing around and trying to find the others. In the process she had found two boys gathered around a cart of books. She glanced over them curiously, sorting through them as she slipped her hand in between them. The boys jumped apart looking defensive, fists out childlishly with double-yells of "These are our treasures!"

Blue noted their curled blonde hair and blue eyes made it clear to her that these were indeed kids from Paixao, either that or some kids that had some really bad luck showing up here. Blue managed to get her hold around one book that looked tattered and just thrown together like scraps of paper with a barely stable cover. The boys hopped back after her as she moved away, reading the title in her mind. The Complete Guide to Paixao. And as she started to flip
