[anyone who's stopped by at the library right now will be greeted with the sight of a small-statured teenage boy sitting in front of the computer, with his arms folded over his chest, a grouchy expression on his face, and several cables extending from the back of his neck and reaching into the computer's USB ports. he speaks aloud, voice monotone

[ Cloud misses the speech by a few minutes, and wanders into the library, only to spot the back of a familiar head. He's currently making his way through a book on GFs, and walks over, his full attention on neither the text or his surroundings ]

Hey, Rin. [ he looks at the wires, distracted by them for a second or two ] Something wrong... ?

[dragalongtwin]

[he turns his head sharply as the sound of his sister's name, although he doesn't understand the rest of the sentence] -- Rin? Where's Rin?

[nordr]

[ Cloud almost starts, because, okay, that definitely isn't Rin. It's somebody shouting about Rin, from what Cloud can tell, and the kid does look an awful lot like her-Cloud closes his book, places it on the table, and then holds his hands up in front of him ] ...

[ and nothing he can think to say is going to make any sense to the kid, he reasons, so he just doesn't say anything at all. Glancing around, he spots a translator, and gets him over with a call of Hey, uh.... He speaks to the translator, and then the translator, in turn, speaks to Len ] Are you looking for Rin?

[dragalongtwin]

Uh? [blinks, looking from the translator to the older man] Yeah, I am.

[ Luka, too, is hooked up to the computer in her room, text flowing as words would ]

I'm afraid that Meiko isn't currently here at the mome

[soundcirculates]

Len? Oh, goodness. Rin's going to be so happy to see you!

[dragalongtwin]

She's not? Then where is she?

-- And where's Rin?

[soundcirculates]

I'd assume that she's back at home, where you just came from. And Rin, I believe, is in her room. Either that, or she's off causing trouble somewhere.

[Possibly lucky for him he never did hear Len's voice in the last place he'd ended up at]

Is it really that bad? I mean, we could be prisoners or moving targets or something.

[dragalongtwin]

-- Well, yeah, but just because it could be worse doesn't mean that this isn't bad. There'll always be something worse.

[limitboost]

Maybe, but why not make the best of things?

[dragalongtwin]

How?

sorry for the doublepost that font color was TOO LIGHT lets try this again

[dangerousplay]

What a whiner! No one is making sad boy to go school

[dragalongtwin]

I'm not whining, I'm making a perfectly valid complaint!

[dangerousplay]

School was a option~so if you're too dumb or lazy you can sit on your butt ALL day long and nobody cares

[dragalongtwin]

I'm not dumb or lazy!

[action... sort of]

[Having snuck into the library shortly after the post went up on the boards, Kaito's hooked up to his own computer as per usual... but has gotten up from the chair and stretched wiring across the room to surreptitiously watch Len's screen as he replies on the bbs:]

"len look out you've got a stalker"

[dragalongtwin]

... Huh?

[vocaloidiot]

There's some guys around that think the best way to fix the compression is to get rid of all the visitors! They're in the library now!

[dragalongtwin]

[bolting up from his chair and turning around at the same time]

[possibly elbowing Kaito in the face in the process]
