[When Quorra's image appears on the Forge, she looks a little...strung out, for lack of a better term. Paler than usual. Her eyes are wider than they've ever been, unblinking, and she's fidgeting in place, twisting her fingers together, jiggling her leg, twitching a shoulder.]

...They kicked me out. Of the library. I was just trying to read... [ ( Read more... )

There is something weird in the air tonight.

[Video] isoalgorithm August 27 2011, 08:36:57 UTC

Y-you mean it's not just me? [Quorra wishes she could find that reassuring. She doesn't.]

[Video] wotchesyou August 27 2011, 11:49:08 UTC

No, it's not just you.

[ She is speaking from personal experience. ]

[Video] isoalgorithm August 28 2011, 08:51:12 UTC

You, too?

Why would they kick you out?

[ That just doesn't sound right. ]

[Video] isoalgorithm August 27 2011, 08:37:48 UTC

They - they said I had too many books. Can you believe that? [She twitches a little.] As if there's such a thing as too many books!

[Video] pandamaiden August 27 2011, 20:24:03 UTC

[ Mei kind of thinks you've lost it here. ]

You don't need too many books, though, do you? You can always go back later.

[Video] isoalgorithm August 28 2011, 08:52:15 UTC

[That would be because Quorra kind of has.] I need them all. [Her eyes are back to dinner-plate size, frighteningly intense.]

That is unfortunate and very strange. Perhaps taking some home would have benefited you more.

[ READ ALL THE THINGS is something scholars do, so he sort of know what you're going through Quorra. Only he's gone out and started talking to people.

... They are not very good story tellers. ]

[Audio] isoalgorithm August 27 2011, 08:38:55 UTC

I tried, but I just couldn't choose. I wanted to take them all. How are you supposed to choose in a situation like that?

[Audio] swordofmiltia August 27 2011, 20:18:31 UTC

That is a problem.

[ He is genuinely thinking about this. ]

You could ask an army of Scorched to rent out books for you.

[ He's kidding, of course. Though that isn't a bad idea... ]

[Audio] isoalgorithm August 28 2011, 08:53:32 UTC

Could I? [A long pause.]

Could you? Get some books for me? ...Please?

Maybe you need a distraction.

[Video] isoalgorithm August 27 2011, 08:39:20 UTC

L-like what?

[Video] samianscar August 27 2011, 15:09:43 UTC

A drink's usually the order o' biz. Or a ride.

[Video] isoalgorithm August 28 2011, 08:55:45 UTC

I d-don't know if I could ride my lightcycle like this. I might crash. [It seems some amount of common sense remains with Quorra - just not when it comes to what she wants.]

Maybe you should go to the clinic and have your cortical...things looked at?

[Audio] isoalgorithm August 28 2011, 08:56:43 UTC

Merlin? Is that you?

I - no, I won't do that. I can't. [She won't trust anyone with her disc. Except Flynn.]

[Audio] pratservant August 30 2011, 00:05:46 UTC

Yeah, it's me. And I really wish you'd let someone look at you. A lot of people seem to be coming down with something.

[And he remembers something - about the library and the bookstore.]

I'll show you a very special book if you do.

[Audio] isoalgorithm September 1 2011, 01:15:28 UTC

What's it called? Is it by Jules Verne?
