[Video/action] Wherein she visits the library

[feralfanatic]

[She had heard rumors of this place, she was pretty sure that someone had even told her about it earlier, back when she was less acclimated to this undersea world. She had been walking, still growing used to being around a large group of people, when her nose had caught scent, of all things, paper; large quantities too. Having spoken to the librarian and finding out exactly the place was, she decides to call Signless in a bout of giddiness. Still not that adept with the comm, she manages to send it broadcast instead.]

[Disciples excited face appears in the video, clearly something very good has happened by the smile on her face. Finally finding words, she speaks.]

SIGNLESS! THIS PLACE HAS BOOKS! FOR FREE!

[She is immediately hushed by someone off-screen. Looking in direction of the voice she apologizes, but continues at a slightly quieter tone.]

They said I could borrow some to read, and then can return for more later! Isn't that amazing!?

The stewards of that place become strongly displeased if you do not return the property on such a time that you have agreed to.

[ He cants his head to the side slightly. ]

Even then, it is a pleasant place.

[feralfanatic]

Oh! Hello Psii! It is amazing and I haven't even seen most of the books they have here. I have a lot of reading to do it seems. They even have human books here.

[She flashes him a big goofy grin over the video, shes in great spirits. The grin changes into a sudden look of puzzlement as she realizes something. Psii was talking to her, she thought the message was for Signless.]

Psii, Did something happen to... [Disciple suddenly realizes what it is she forgot to do.]... oh my, that went over the whole network didn't it?

[As if in response to her question, her SFC beeps, indicating a waiting message. Then it beeps again. She may have made a mistake. Oh well, she could deal with it later, Psii comes first.]

I may have just made a fool of myself... again. [She grins woolbeastishly.] Still though, This place is amazing. I will strive to make sure the books I borrow get back in time.

[p2iioniicii2t]

It is a mistake made by many.

[ That's reassuring, right? He's aiming for reassuring even when it ends up coming out dry and stilted. He makes a sort of lopsided expression after a moment.

It is probably meant to be a smile. ]

I am... fond of seeing you express this form of happiness. I wish you did so with increased frequency.

[video]

[unconchonable]

Yeah that's the fuckin' function of a library.

[Have a stern, narrow-eyed, stare Disciple.]

And ewery single one a those books better be in TOP fuckin' condition when your return them.

[Guess who started working at the library not too long ago!]

[video]

[feralfanatic]

[She had just realized the mistake she made, sending the message over the whole network. Alright now to see who messaged her. Oh. Purpleblood. Wonderful. It was not dualscar, though; Must be his descendant. He was just as charming it seemed. Still, she was in a great mood, she could play nice... maybe.]

I will assure you, Little seadweller, The utmost care will be taken with the books. I know how to respect the knowledge written down in these texts.

[Action]

[devwocean]

[Dualscar is just sitting in a chair reading - the library is one of his favourite places, also, when he hears the excited squeal from not far away. Though he hears that it's also hushed, he rises and puts his head around the corner, scowling thunderously at her as she completes the video post]

If you could contain your excitement, girl. This is intended to be a quiet place for readin'.

[Action]

[feralfanatic]

[There were few things that could crash her elevated mood. And unfortunately for all involved one just popped its head around the corner. It just had to be Dualscar of course. Just being around him managed to invite anger into her heart. Looking up at him as he speaks, she puts on a dangerous smile.]

Oh. Dualscar. Hello. I am oh so sorry If I bothered you. I will be sure keep my excitement to a level more appropriate of one of my station.

[You idiot, Disciple, stop antagonizing him, especially here of all places. You just discovered this place, try not to get kicked out already. Even still, it took that snarky comment to stop her from saying what was really on her mind about him. She really did not like this seadweller.]

video; sorry

[topsseifer]

[Whoa. Hello Big!Catgirl.

At least she looks like the big version of the cat girl in a box.]

I personally recommend the adventure section. So long as you don't mind stories about the ocean or exploring fish. Do you happen to know a smaller one who looks kind of like you, but with a tail attached to her jacket?

video; Its cool, haha.

[feralfanatic]

[ Oh! A Human! She was very intrigued. Her interactions with them had been limited.

Oh, I love stories of all types. I will have to seek out this adventure section. I appreciate the opinion.

Tail attached to the jacket, huh? [She laughs.] That could only be my little Nepeta. I do know her, yes. She is something like... oh what was the human concept... [Her eyes drift from the video has her thoughts turn inwards, searching for a word she had heard that one time.] ...something like an adopted...daughter? I believe that is what I was looking for. It is far more complicated then that, but that is the simple explanation.

[doormat_hikari]

The Library here is pretty nice, isn't it?

video

[feralfanatic]

[Wow, her message really set off a landslide of new messages.]

Oh, it is amazing. I am really sad I did not discover it until today. It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. [Not an ounce of sarcasm in her statement, either.]

action;

[aim_exorable]

[The bookshop he works at occasionally does work with the local library and while Darkleer would lately prefer to simply stay in his respite block for the duration of the day and straight into the night, well, he knew what he was signing up for when he applied.]

[Today is just one of those days when he's come to discuss some things with the library, when he hears the familiar excitable voice. For a moment, he nearly forgets himself and almost believes it to be Nepeta, but when he looks around the corner- ah.]

[Should he... say something?]

It... It is good that you are enjoying the library.

[...Maybe he should have said nothing at all.]

action;

[feralfanatic]

[And everything grinds to a halt. She turns to see who she thought it was, and was not disappointed. Darkleer was standing a short distance away looking as awkward as she was feeling. She really hated how she never knew what to say around him. Conflicting thoughts all fought to a stalemate in her mind... as usual when she was around him.]

[Say something, Idiot!]

It is... nice here. I like the books.

[She screamed inwardly. "I like the books" ...Really!? She continued to stand there staring in his general direction. So many things vying to get out bottle-necked in her mind, leaving her saying nothing as usual. She screams inwardly again, to no avail.]

[withoutasign]

I KNOW!

[Hey, libraries are exciting, okay? Signless wishes he could have visited the Alternian libraries, but he had to make do with the books Dolorosa and the others would get for him. He completely understands her excitement.]

They have all sorts of human books too! There's so much to learn!

video

[feralfanatic]

[Oh thank the Light. Her message actually managed to find its way to Signless with all the other messages she was currently receiving from her little gaff.]

I need to read... EVERYTHING! I did not know such a place existed here, This is simply amazing!

I mean the human books, the Alternian section, stuff on demons and monsters. That entire section on fish... I do not know where to start.

Action;

[bestestfurrend]

Disciple, Disciple! You came to the library!

[More hushing follows in Nepeta's wake and she only half-pays attention to it, quickly padding over the ground separating her from Disciple so that she could jump into her ancestor's arms.]

Look at all the books!

Action;

[feralfanatic]

[Her descendant senses tingling, she turns to see the ruckus caused by Nepeta. Setting the SFC on the nearby table she catches the feline-troll shaped missile. Snagging her close into a strong embrace she twirls in place, holding her little hunter. She stops spinning, but continues to hold onto her bundle. Both are oblivious to the hushes coming from nearby, there were hugs to be had.]

Oh yes! This place is wonderful! I am sad I did not realize it was here until now. But yeah, So many books here! I need to read them all! ...eventually!

[action]

[swordandaxe]

[Ffff, and here Richter was hoping he could have some quiet time alone to read. He leans around the shelf he's behind to give the Disciple an unamused look.]

If you can't be quiet in here, it would be best for you to pick out some books and go find somewhere to read where it doesn't matter if you're loud.

[action]

[feralfanatic]

[Oops, she angered a human. She needs to remember her manners... Not matter how excited this places existence made her happy.]

Sorry! [She flashes a sheepish smile.] First time here, I will try to be more quiet. I just have never seen so many books together in once place like this before. It is a bit overwhelming.

Video;

[typeadvantage]

[wow talking in the library is rude and also he doesn't understand at all how people don't understand what a library is. Surely libraries are something that were common across worlds.]

Haven't you ever been in a library before? You know, you're also supposed to be quiet in the library.

Video;

[feralfanatic]

[Wow more interaction with humans today then ever before. It certainly had become an interesting day.]

Sorry![She flashes a sheepish smile.] I actually have never been in a library before. I had heard stories of them, but my... circumstances prevented me from ever getting to see one. I will try to be more quiet...

[Oh, she had so many bad first impressions today. She would feel bad except she was still riding the high of finding an entire building full of books that were able to be read.]

video;

[420]

[He laughs. Whatever, that had been a pretty cute reaction. Like this she totally looks exactly like Nepeta when she is all sorts of excited about icecream. Or bacon.]

Haha, any good shit to read?

[Like Gamzee has cracked open a book in the last week month year.]

video;

[feralfanatic]

[Still a little weary of the purpleblood, but she still smiles when she sees the familiar face appear in the communicator. She did like the young troll, he was just... eccentric.]

A lot from what I can see. I even saw a section on cooking. Books full of recipes, even. There may have even been some on creating "Desserts and Baked Goods". A large section on fish though, like most things seem to be about in this place.

[shotarcana]

[Totally misinterpreting:]

There's a free bookstore called "Signless?"

[Well, everything else is free, after all. But it's an interesting name.]

video;

[feralfanatic]

[The question catches her off-guard and she blinks into the camera. Disciple thinks that the human must be confused.]

What? No. Uhhh, No bookstore. This is the library. It has books you can read for free. Signless is the name of the person I was intending to contact. He is my Matesprit. I am not...too good at the communication device.

[Wait, did humans have matesprits? she couldn't remember. Humans were so complicated.]
