The Nexus' First Libraryâ„¢!
Espeon sits behind a desk in the Library, waiting for people in the mood for reading to enter. They flick their paw around, for some reason. Books seem to rearrange themselves on shelves and put themselves in a neat, A-Z order.
"This is the prime way living; A nice almost silent library full of interesting books for all species, ages, all of that..."
[A Jolteon wanders into the library, curiously taking a look around. He doesn't recall the last time he has been in a library before due to his amnesia, so this is a probably a first experience for him.]
A library huh...
A pink haired girl walks into the Library. She was going through each of the aisles trying to find her favorite manga series but can't find it. She walks up to Espeon with some sass to her walk and having her arms crossed.
Excuse me, do you have Parfait Girls?
A Sylveon enters the library with its typical smug expression. It seemed to be looking for something, but it wasn't clear what. It moves to the psychology section and pokes around, its ribbons swaying about as it browses.
They look up at Natsuki.
"Oh, yeah, it's uh... Over there."
Espeon points at a cluttered pile of not only mangas, but some other Japanese things like it, some a bit... Friskier than others.
(A 7'3 snake centipede hybrid comes from the ground, right in the middle of the library)
....haven't seen these innna while
She see's the Espeon points at the pile.
Okay, thank you. You're very helpful than most animals I've met. Anyway, have a good day. Kawaii~.
She goes to the pile and try to search for Parfait Girls.
Espeon squints at Rep.
"Look buddy, either give me the money to repair that, repair it yourself or get out of my library."
[While walking towards the shelves, Jolteon shoots a quick glare at Rep as he passes by him. Once he approaches the shelves, he surveys the books, trying to look for one about electricity.]
The Sylveon picks out a book titled "What Is Self?" before noticing the snake centipede hybrid drill up through the ground.
My my. Such little respect for one of the few peaceful establishments in this place.
Natsuki turns back and see's Rep who made a hole in the Library.
Oh it's Rep. He's more "unique" as always. Well, time to look for my Parfait Girls.
Natsuki searches through the pile, trying to find volumes 50-100.
(He'd look down at The hole, and sighs)
....I'll fix it later...
Espeon's squint turns into a glare.
"No, not later. You are going to fix it right now, hooligan."
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, just need some wood....
[Finding a nonfiction book titled "Electricity," Jolteon reaches towards the book with his fron right paw, grabs it, and puts it on his back. After doing so, he would make his way over to a random chair, and hop on it. He takes his book off of his back and begins to silently read it.]
Espeon flicks their paw in a "shoo, get out" sort of manner.
"Well, go get some or use whatever money you have to get a professional in here."
Wait, idea!
(He'd casually go back into the hole, and a few seconds later, he has a big flat piece of wood, and some nails)
...there we go..
(Then, puts the wood above the hole, grabs the nail, and holds them together, he then slams his head into the nails, driving them into the wood)
...And done
Espeon sighs.
"I guess that'll do."
They begin to flick their paw around, the books begin to arrange themselves again.
Thank ya...purple cat thing...
Espeon glares back at Rep.
"I double-dare you to say that again."
Um...light purple cat...thing?
The Sylveon giggles as it reads its book.
You're doomed, Mr. Snakipede~
Goddammit....
[A bit angered, Jolteon sets his book down on the table and looks over to Rep, speaking to him in his southern accent.]
Can ya stop bein' a dumbass for two seconds?
(edited by Lightning)
(He'd twist his head to jolteon, and yellls out)
......I DONT EVEN FUCKIN' KNOW YA, AND YA ALREADY CALLING ME A DUMBASS!
(edited by Reperzel)
Espeon's eyes glow blue, the gem in their forehead glows.
"You asked for it."
Espeon attempts to throw Rep out of the Library with their psychic abilities. If successful, the Espeon will follow up by sticking a paper onto the door of the Library with the word "BANNED" and a picture of Rep under it.
Dammit
Very impressive. I like your style, Espeon~
Sylveon winks at Espeon as it turns a page.
The Eevee pushes through the door with it's head and looks around, in awe at the sheer size of the place, pacing around with starry eyes before bumping into a shelf and knocking a book out, an atlas to be exact, looking at it quizzically before flipping it open with a paw and looking through the pages
W-woah... This is amazing! I need this with me right now!
Eevee then picks the book up and places it on his back, walking slowly with a limp to the desk, eventually reaching Espeon and placing the book on the table with a deep breath before yelling out
Espeon!!! Hi hi! Do you work here? I wanna borrow this if it isn't too much trouble!
Natsuki still continues to search for her mangas and she see's and hears the commotion from Rep and the rest of the Eeveelutions
What the hell is going on? The Nexus is so trippy....
Natsuki continues to find her volumes, still going through the friskier books of the pile.
He deserved it...
[Sighing, Jolteon would pick his book back up and continue to read it.]
Ah fuck ya to mates
(He mumbles to himself before drilling back underground)
Espeon notices Sylveon wink at them and slightly blushes.
"Thank you, I take pride in my psychic abilities."
Espeon then turns their attention to the Eevee.
"Oh yes of course you can have it for as long as you want, no fees. I can always get another one, so it's no problem!"
They warmly smile at the Eevee.
Ooh! Okay! Thanks a lot Espeon! You sound like you do this alot! You must be pretty powerful if it's no big deal!
Eevee then shines a smile before picking the book back up and placing it on his back again, shuffling with the heavy book into a beanbag and noticing Sylveon reading something, pulling the beanbag over slowly with it's mouth and looking at the book
Sylveon!! What are you reading? It looks pretty complicated!
(edited by Espeon)
A kushala suddenly appeared inside the library, there wasn't a window or door enough big for her, but there she was, looking at the inmense amount of books with curiosity.
Umm... those are human books? I shouldn't touch them, I could destroy them with my claws.
She walked around, a moment latet she saw Espeon, for an instant she was about to attack but she tough it could be just an innocent animal, she has seen a lot of strange creatures since she is able to speak human language, it could be another strange creature.
Greetings, what kind of animal are you? A pink cat?
(edited by Kushala_Daora)
Espeon wakes up but they act asleep, until they hear "ca-...WAIT, PINK?! Their head immediately comes up and glares at the Kushala.
"Excuse me, but I'll have you know that my fur is LAVENDER. Also I am an Espeon, a... Well, Pokémon."
They crack their neck due to it being stiff.
"Anyway, what do you need?"
(edited by Espeon)
A random college student hast appeared and blessed the library with her lovely presence.
This really does look like an excellent place for a super ancient book. Lucky me that my gps finally decided to function.
Esme gives her phone a final vengeful shake while trying to stifle a yawn. Blearily blinking her eyes afterwards she notices a random mythical creature attempting to talk to something purple. Huh the coffee must not have kicked in yet for proper existence.
How goes it random figments of my imagination.
Walks in calmly and approaches the espeon
Excuse me, miss, but do you happen to have "Being An Overlord For Dummies" in yet?
Pokémon?
The Kushala looked at Espeon for a few seconds... it was hard for her to understand what a Pokémon is, especially because is the first time she hears that name.
Well, I need...
She looked around, she only saw books, chairs and some tables to read, she looked one by one the books, reading their titles and trying to understand them, most of the titles was unknown for her, well, is the first time she goes to a library.
I would like to know what is this place and why are you here.
The Kushala lied down to not scare Espeon with her size, also, she did it because she wants to act in a friendly way.
A familiar Sylveon enters the library, the book from before sticking out of its bag. It walks up to the desk and lifts the book onto the table. The book seemed to be a complicated psychology book about how bartering works.
Oi, bookworm~ I'm here to return this and pick up... something else?
The Sylveon leaned in, as usual, invading personal space.
The place was quite crowded already, it seemed. Possible chance encounters in a library... What was this, a visual novel?
They sigh, they obviously haven't been here for too long, well to be fair nor have they but they have been able to accept it sooner.
"I'm not part of your imagination, although you're probably not going to believe me and you want me to prove it."
This isn't the first time that they have been called miss, it's hard to tell with the fur color, but they go with it.
"No, we don't, I can see why you'd need a "For dummies" book because you honestly don't look fit to be an overlord."
He sighs.
"I'm here because this is my job, I'm a librarian, this is a library which is a place where people come to get books."
They take the book, not caring about how the Sylveon is invading their personal space.
"What do you need, then?"
Esme slowly backs away from the sudden mass of not so human creatures. Even if they didn't appear too unfriendly she could never be sure with so many new faces. Half convinced that this was some sort of unusual dream she continues to rub her eyes for some sense of life.
Damn all those years of study must have finally made me snap. I can't wait till I end up being some sort of serial killer that ends up on the nightly news. Even with a potentially ugly mugshot.
She chuckles at the direction of her thought process and finally moves her hands from her now reddened eyes. Squinting at the purple blob in her vision she responds.
No don't worry I believe you. See some pretty weird things so i'm kind of immune to it now.
(edited by Esme)
Laharl shoots an angry glare at Espeon
I'll have you know I was the great overlord who led that war on Celestia! And, if you must know, I only wanted that book to show others how to be as awesome as me!
The presence of the others didn't bothered the Kushala, she remained calm, acting naturally.
She notice a few little rocks in her left wing and she began to clean it, eating the little rocks. Anyone who sees her would think is a dangerous dragon, but looking closely, you could see she was doing her best to not be a threat.
Does humans come here to just read those books? I don't see it at all, but there must be a reason for it.
Suddenly Espeon spoke.
Librarian? You use that word to speak about someone who takes care of this place? I find this place quite interesting, I'll look around if you don't mind, farewell Espeon.
The Kushala turned back and she saw Esme, she has reddened eyes, the Kushala tought she was not feeling well.
Excuse me little human, is something wrong? Your eyes are red.
Esme bashfully waves off the dragon creature thingies concern with a cheerful smile.
Oh don't worry about little old me I just rubbed my eyes a bit too much. They now burn a little so very my bad. I wonder. Why is such a exciting looking creature like you in a boring place like this?
Thought cool looking beings liked burning down buildings and stuff like that.
Alola denizens of this vast infantismal and beautiful world.
So a vaporeon walks into a library swishing its tail about without a care in the world.
It is I the spiritual vaporeon of greater destiny coming to bless you all.
The Kushala's look slowly turned from a worried one to a tired one, again a human thinking she loves destroy, burn, and devour humans for pleasure, she liked the fact about she is an exciting creature, most of humans would do anything to talk with a dragon.
I know there are dragons who love to eat everything they see like the Deviljho... but not all dragons are monsters obsessed with blood and destruction. But I understand why you think that, I can controll the wind and create hurricanes, I know humans are scared about hurricanes.
What I want to say is what you don't have to be scared, I have no reasons to attack you little human.
She was staring at Esme, but she was telling the truth, she was calm and she didn't looked like she was going to attack.
[The Jolteon from earlier calmly enters the library once again with a tired yawn. He seems to have noticeable bags under his black eyes and his movements seem to be slow. Upon approaching the shelves, he'd pick out the same book about electricity and make his way over to the same table he previously sat at, sitting in one of the chairs.]
...I gotta stop stayin' up all night, it's bad for my health...
Hibki walks into the library doing his best to cover up a yawn, after his yawn he looks around the library. He seems to stop in his tracks after seeing the Pokémon
Alright, obviously I’m so tired I fell asleep on the way here, right?
(edited by HibkiKuze)
I'm looking for a book on, well, body science. It's probably best you don't know what it's for~
Sylveon winks. Gods know what kind of mess this Sylveon was getting itself in.
The Sylveon blinks at the... rather peculiar speaking Vaporeon. Is this a religious solicitor? Those types tend to be fun to mess with.
Why hello there~ tell me, what is this enlightenment you speak of?
If only
A deep, almost bored voice can be heard from behind Kuze, shortly followed by the man himself. A tall young man wearing a dark cloak enters the building, glancing aside at the others before advancing towards Espeon with a determined focus
I do believe this is one of the city's storehouses of knowledge, correct? Ordinarily I wouldn't come to such places, but it seems the information I seek may be more easily found here.
Noticing the dragon's concern Esme gently pokes or at least tries to poke at its chest with a serious gaze. As if she had finally found the answer for a difficult question.
I have decided to call you Scaly my lady. You seem like a very chill dragon so maybe we can be friends. Though I do warn you that I things can get a bit crazy when i'm around. I don't cause it though.
She smirks like the devil at this.
Dangerous things just like me a bit too much.
Oh well.
Hibki doesn’t seem to know what he’s looking for so he walks over to a random shelf and starts reading titles
I’m the worst when it comes to libraries, it always takes me forever to find a book.
The ability to see the astral processes of the cosmos of course you fine looking species.
The greater vaporeon of destiny stands on his tiny hind legs, using his tail for added height. Wrapping an arm around the back of Sylveon's head he waves his other arm in front of the two of them. Sparkling eyes accompany this dramatic gesture.
There is a galaxy out there my dear and I preach the good word of the kitten holy.
(edited by Vaporeon)
Zeke And Pandoria Walk into the library after managing to get some Yen, and Pandoria checks out the books near the far end and Zeke just grabs the closest to him and skims a bit of the pages.
"Hmm.... Something Familiar at least.."
Zeke puts the book back and grabs the next one and reads that one.
The Kushala found strange Esme's words, but the name and the fact they could be friends, she liked it.
Of course, I don't mind if we are friends, I would like to continue talking with you, but I should leave, farewell little human.
The Kushala walked to exit the build, when she left it she raised her wings to fly away.
OOC: Going to sleep, good bye.
Ohhh, is that so?
Sylveon sits down, intrigued by the Vaporeon.
Tell me about your lodge. Are there special ceremonies~?
[Jolteon glances over to the Vaporeon with a quite annoyed look in his eyes. A memory of a rather irritating Vaporeon that always bragged to him about being better than him instantly broke free of his amnesia upon setting eyes on the Pokémon. He puts his front right paw on his head.]
Ugh, a memory about that bitch is comin' back to me... Just thinkin' about her makes my head hurt.
Bye friend.
Esme smiles as the dragon leaves and then promptly turns around with a determined gaze. Making friends is nice, but she came for a special book that could change everything. Mentally thinking of some cool spy music she makes her way over to the Espeon with charm on high.
So got any old looking books reeking of ancient magics and dark curses?
(edited by Esme)
Ha! Lodges are for the wholly lost that will never awaken. We of the kitten holy cycle worship outside after consuming from the local seed.
Pleased at a possible awakened one the divine Vaporeon stands with both of his hands over his heart. His eyes grow misty with fond memories of the hunt that led to his resurrection.
Seeing that you may be one of us I will share with you a scared tradition of ours.
He leans over to whisper at the curious dear.
Every full moon we go to the local highlands and swear an oath of blood to the great stone. With it's darling shine of blue it will help you see the great cat in the sky. The cat that protects us from the fobbideneded ones.
Hibki walks back over to the front desk with what looks like two generic teen romance novels. When he speaks his face is all red and he’s looking around to make sure no one he knows is around
I’d like to borrow these two for a while. These types of books are one of my guilty pleasures.
Eevee snaps out of its thousand year stare and notices that the library has life back in it again! Walking through the aisles to meet new faces! Soon the Eevee finds a man with an eye patch and watches him from afar, eventually speaking up
What are you looking for Mister! You look troubled! Maybe I can help?
*Brycen would enter the Library just looking for some books to read to pass the time, and hopeful might make a friend this time*
OOC: I believe our host has vanished, unfortunate
IC: With the desk of the apparent organizer empty, Luard is left with rather little recourse. Fortunately, there are plenty of individuals present, many of which have likely been here before. Thus, they would have more knowledge of the place. Without further thought, Luard would loudly announce his presence
Pardon the intrusion, but as the caretaker seems to be away, I was hoping one of you might answer my question. This is a storehouse of knowledge, correct? One available for any potential researchers?
Pandoria walks up the counter holding a dictionary and puts it down looking at luard for a brief moment,thinking he is not someone who is the average librarian of sorts....
P:I would like to rent this dictionary please.
Luard just stares at Pandoria, before glancing down to the book in her hand.... A reference of some kind? He's not very sure why they're asking him about it, Luard simply shrugs
If I remember correctly you may read as much as you like, it is simply forbidden to remove the instructory tool from the premises. However, I am not the keeper of this storehouse, and as such your customs may be somewhat different.
Luard sighs and shakes his head, that said, they are already here, so hopefully they can answer his own question
That is to say, this is a storehouse of knowledge, correct? That is the impression all the shelves gave me at least.
Laharl answers Luard's question with an annoyed tone
No, this is a library
[Taking his paw off of his head, a grin appears across Jolteon's face. In an instant, he zooms over to the Vaporeon, standing next to him. His speech has a less tired tone to it.]
Heya, what're ya talkin' about?
Ahh what manner of devilry is this!
The benevolent Vaporeon falls on his tush at the sudden arrival of Jolteon. Surprised he couldn't help wording out his thoughts yet now attempt to draw them back with a cough.
I am sharing the ways of kitten holy to a possible believer you curious creature. If you wish I can show you the stars too and begin you on the path to greater wisdoms. Join today and you may even get the legendary fosh of great sacrifice.
Espeon was listening intently at what everyone had been saying. They raise an eyebrow at Laharl.
"Uh-huh, a war, really?"
A book on body science floats over to Sylveon. Espeon can probably guess what they want it for. They simply mark some things on a paper after looking at the books the others want to rent.
"Alright, be sure to bring them back by around Tuesday of next week."
They look over to Esme and point to a book wrapped in plastic.
"It's over there, be careful with it, it's really old."
Before doing something about the peculiar Vaporeon, they reply to Luard.
"I guess it sorta is, it's called a library, though."
Then they turn their attention towards the Vaporeon, they could read their mind, but what's the fun in that?
"Sacrifice, eh? Are you part of some sort of cult?"
Hibki turns to the Vaporeon in curiousity, in his experiences gods and idols often turn out evil
Could I possibly learn these wisdoms?
He does his best to try and keep suspicion out of his tone but it still shows
[Jolteon's confusion escalated after listening to what the Vaporeon had to say to him. Was he trying to get him into a cult or something related to one? He'll never know.]
Well um, that sounds neat and all, but I'm not interested in joinin' your "kitten cult" or whatever it's called. Also, quick question, are you the leader of this group that you're talkin' about?
(edited by Lightning)
Luard nods to the Espeon, so his guess was correct. "Libraries" are the term for it here, much more succinct too. Probably better to get used to it. Regardless, Luard glances around for a moment, before looking back to the Espeon
Very well then, I believe that, as the keeper of this Library, you have knowledge as to where most books are, yes? I am looking for information about bonds between individuals. Primarily those known as "friendship" and "love". It sounded like it was supposed to be common knowledge, so I trust you have something along the lines of it, yes?
Luard's voice maintains an entirely even and serious tone, not entirely aware of what he's asking over. Hopefully this place can bring some light to a few questions brought up to him by that "Faye" earlier
Maybe I am maybe i'm not~
The great Vaporeon slyly winks to Jolteon as he walks around passing pieces of blue stone with black marking within it. He then nears the door gazing at all the possible followers within the building.
There will be a gathering soon. If you wish to become one with the kitten holy then your heart will guide you to the greater stars. I hope to see all you awesome believers there.
He leaves with a calm wave of his paw.
*Brycen had no clue what just happened with that Vaporeon but he did not really care as he looked for a book to read*
Sylveon nods as Vaporeon whispers sweet nothings into its ear about a "secret place". What kind of place was this, it wondered? Sylveon smirks in anticipation. It leans in close to the Vaporeons ear and whispers in turn.
I will be there sometime... By the way, your breath smells very nice~
The Sylveon backs away with a mischievous look. It finally accepts its book from Espeon and smiles, curtsying in a cute way.
Much obliged~ rest assure, I never miss a date.
It winks, starting to look for a place to study it... It notices that Eevee from before. That little one is too pure for this world... With all the oddballs here, Sylveon decided to keep an eye on it.
(edited by Sylveon)
Hibki takes his books and then looks at the stone
Thanks for the books, although I’m not sure about this cult yet, it looks harmless but it still won’t hurt to check it out.
Satisfied Hibki walks over to a table and pulls out a chair. He sits down and opens one of his books and starts reading. Every so often he can be seen with a goofy smile on his face as he reads.
A young carefree man barges into the library, listening to loud music. He seems to whisper alongside the lyrics, making it faintly obvious what song he's listening to.
"Books... HUH... What are they good for? Absolutely.. NOTHIN'"
He props himself on a table with his legs leaning back in a chair he sat in. He whips out a tablet and begins tapping it with intense vigor.
A book on friendship and love? Got it, he most likely means some sort of study material so he points over to a section with quite a few books on psychology.
"Look over there, there's most likely the thing you want over there."
[Jolteon's confused expression soon changed to an annoyed expression. He doesn't enjoy hearing others talk in riddles to him, mostly because he had experiences with people who have done that before. Sighing, Jolteon makes his way back to the table, taking a seat on the chair and opening his book, beginning to read it.]
*Brycen looks around after finding a book (harry potter and the sorcerer's stone) , soon finding an open seat and goes over to it to take a seat... while going to the seat Brycen thinks about maybe he should make some friends with some of the pokemon that are here*
Ooc: i'm having trouble following any of this.
IC:
Laharl lets out a wide and devious grin, as to brag. He raises his right hand up in a flashy manner as he hides his left hand behind his back. He starts talking as he curls his right hand in on itself and crooks his head forward slightly
What, you don't believe? Perhaps I should show you some of the power that comes with being a demon overlord!
As Laharl leans his left elbow on the counter, he ignites a moderate burst of fire in his right hand, controlled so that no one gets burnt
Impressive? I'd show you something cooler, but i'm not in the mood for hurtin' anyone.
Espeon sighs, this doesn't phase them one bit.
"A fireball? You could do better, well, even if you did I'd have to throw you out for causing damage to my library."
Luard nods to the Espeon before heading off towards the Psychology section
Thank you for your assistance, I greatly appreciate the aid. I do trust nothing shall go amiss as I begin.
With that, Luard would begin searching for a book on the subject, likely one about relationships in general and, with a critical eye, begin to read.
Laharl puts his fingers together to extinguish the fireball.
Eh? You know, perhaps proving my might to others may make me a bit more popular in this Nexus. I think there are actually place made specifically for that kinda stuff. GYM, was it? Waddya say, wanna see an overlord in action!?
Laharl puts his arms in criscross position and his eyes begin to literally light on fire in excitement
Espeon shrugs as a book from the Japanese stuff pile flies over to them.
"I'll think about it."
(edited by Espeon)
*Fayth appears behind Brycen and slaps him upside the head.*
I saw that. SORCERER'S stone, you say? It's Philosophers stone, you illiterate fuck.Philosopher's stone is the name of the official book and is a thing in magical lore. Sorcerer's stone is something some Hollywood marketing shithead came up because he thinks you Americans are stupid. Everytime you or some other moron say Sorcerer's stone, you prove them right. Get educated, you bitch.
*Fayth slaps Brycen in the face, shoots Laharl in the kneecap and walks out of the library door.*
"I just wanted to read a book..."
*Brycen said as his leg thankful turn became fire before the bullet could hit his leg and his leg turns back to normal (so nothing is burned or no smoke came out) but he just sighs, soon putting the book down and looks at the pokemon... who does he want to talk to first*
Laharl eyes gaze upon the shelves of literature that filled the halls with wonder and amusement. He hadn't read in a longtime, and wondered why people found it so fascinating. Out of curiosity, he wonders upon if any books would interest him. But, it had been so long that he did not know where to start. Unfamiliar with the concept of "genre" even. He blinks a bit and glances at the librarian
Sooooo, how do I use a library again?
[Jolteon continued silently reading his book about electricity, learning a few things about his element. He's so engrossed in the book that he seems to ignore everything that's happening around him. If you were to look at the page he's on, it would show a page all about the dangers of electricity and how it can affect the human body.]
Interestin'... I could use this to my benefit...
Espeon sighs.
"Grab a book, show me it, I'll mark it on my paper as it being gone and then you'll have to bring it back to me next week."
After they say that, their face slams into the desk and they pass out.
so, i'm not gonna post for a while, you guys can still chat and such but don't expect me to post anytime soon
