Grand Library.

*reading a large tome*

3xcal1bur

youve ruined the order of the threads

why

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Oh ! You're Patchouli right? From the scarlet shrimp's manor or something ?

Patchouli_Knowledge

Yes, I am. You are Fujiwara No Mokuo, yes? I believe we met once or twice.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Probably. I've been around for a while so a lot of people know me. I'm the guide to Eientei after all. So, what brings you here ?

Patchouli_Knowledge

My library was moved here after a...recent fire hazard...pulled it here somehow.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Fire ? I swear it wasn't me !

Patchouli_Knowledge

I know. It was more nuclear in nature. Would you happen to know the cause?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Nuclear ? I mean.. There's only one girl in Gensokyo with powers like that. But Reiuji rarely leaves her cave..

Patchouli_Knowledge

Hmm...is it possible she was pulled here as well?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

I don't know. I hope not. She's really dumb. She'd just screw everything up *looks slightly annoyed

Patchouli_Knowledge

Yes, she is known for being a bird brain. Tell me, how were you pulled here?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

I don't even know. I was taking a nap for the first time in a month or so, and when I woke up, I was surrounded by these so called "Shaddows". I proceeded to destroy them all after which I met some of the locals and followed them to a cafe, where I got smashed and died. I also decided to open up my old yakitori stand again.

The_Hunter

*enters in while holding his blunderbuss and claymore*

This is a big place. Bigger than the Mensis library.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Ah. Well, it would seem this place shall be quite nice to continue studying. I should talk to the locals at some point as well...are there any other interesting things I should know about this place?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

It's because of Sakuya's time and space manipulation. She makes the place much bigger then it actually is.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Hmm people were talking about "stealing hearts"

Patchouli_Knowledge

Stealing hearts? I wonder if they mean it figuratively or literally?

Tatsuya

*walks in and looks around at the shelves* Huh this is a thing. *Spots Fujiwara* Oh hey Fujiwara, still getting killed drinking booze?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Not today. I have enough brain damage. It'll still take a day or so to fully heal

The_Hunter

Hey Tatsuya, and Mokou died from what?

Shou_Tucker

*walks in*
Hm, seems like a good place to study.

*he read few of the books*

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

( oh god, of all the fma characters you went for shou? xD)

I died from some shitty alcohol.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Oh, more people?

Shou_Tucker

(Sorry, I have to.)

The_Hunter

Alright. And I drink Gut Punchers like they are water. Probably you lacking a tolerance.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

uh... I don't think so. It was some century old demon booze. It melted my stomach and intestines.

The_Hunter

Really? Let me try that.

Patchouli_Knowledge

*goes back to reading her tome*

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Hey Patchy, what'cha readin'?

HibkiKuze

*Walks in* About time I found a library. Do you have any books on COMPs and demon summoning apps?

Patchouli_Knowledge

@Fujiwara_No_Mokou it is a book on nuclear magic.

@Hibkikuze third row on the right, second down from the red ones.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

That fire got you interested ?

Patchouli_Knowledge

Yes. I am curious as to what caused it, so I decided to study it more.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

hmmm..well, we all know the smart stuff isn't where I shine. Call me if you need some fire power !

Tatsuya

OOC: Sorry RL came up.

A book on nuclear magic eh? Sounds interesting to me I'm pretty good at that actually.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Very well. I shall be here studying. *Goes back to reading her tome*

Patchouli_Knowledge

Oh? And you are?

Tatsuya

Tatsuya Suou nice to meet you. So this place has books on magic right?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

*pulls up a chair and sits back. She slowly dozes off.

Patchouli_Knowledge

I am Patchouli Knowledge, and that is correct. Would I be correct in assuming that you are a local of this world?

Tatsuya

Eh localish? We're not quite sure who's world the Nexus is based in frankly but it's either mine or close enough.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Hmm... would you care to explain?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

The nexus seems to be an amalgamation of everything

Tatsuya

What she said yeah. This place is full of people and even locations from all sorts of universes.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

hmm. Speaking of which, Patchy, did the rest of the manor come along too ?

Patchouli_Knowledge

I see...is there anything else I should know about this world?

Patchouli_Knowledge

We are in my library, so it would be natural if the mansion was pulled in with it.

Tatsuya

Pretty much everything seems to happen in a coffee shop called Leblanc. No clue how that started but now it's just a fact.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

Well, let's just hope remilia doesn't try anything funny like last time the whole mansion moved.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Very well then. I shall make sure to visit on occasion. And what of the inhabitants of the Nexus?

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

they're cool. Oh by the way ! If you ever feel like leaving your library, feel free to stop by my yakitori stand.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Knowing her, she probably will...

Patchouli_Knowledge

I shall visit your stand as well...

Tatsuya

Well most of them are cool. But we get the odd murderous god and such. You know how that goes.

HibkiKuze

Oh thanks sorry blanked out. I'm trying to figure out why there aren't any demons appearing in the auction.

Patchouli_Knowledge

More than you know. They may not be murderous, but they are annoying all the same. However, I was talking more along the lines of what they can do.

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

demons? In an auction? what ?

Tatsuya

Oh oh! That's going to vary widely they're all from different universes after all. *He grins* I could tell you about Persona users... Unless you'd rather see first hand?

Tatsuya

And a demon auction? Sounds weird don't you just talk to them for recruitment?

Patchouli_Knowledge

Persona users? I believe there are a few books that talk about the concept. It would be easier to show me.

Tatsuya

*he smirks* Alright then come Hyperion! *A giant humanoid made from light stands behind him* that tell you anything?

Patchouli_Knowledge

*goes back to reading her tome*

Patchouli_Knowledge

Ah, so it is similar to a stand in physical regard...I shall have to reread those books again it seems.

Tatsuya

Huh quiet one I guess. Oh well. *He picks up a book on Yokai and begins reading*

Tatsuya

*he looks up* Oh yeah they're a bit like Stands. Their power doesn't tend to be so strange in application though.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Oh? How so?

Patchouli_Knowledge

*levitates three tome to her table and starts reading one of them*

Fujiwara_No_Mokou

*looks lost

I don't follow. I guess I don't really care either though.

HibkiKuze

The demon auction was how I recruited Demons during the Polaris incident.

Tatsuya

OOC sorry was walking my dog*

Stands get all kinds of insane stuff like turning things to bombs and shifting the form of matter.

Personas tend to be more focused on outright attacks healing or effecting how strong someone is. That's not always the case with Persona but it's a good general rule.

Addalme

"Comes from a portal"

Hi.

Tatsuya

Oh hey Goro what's up?

Addalme

Hi tatsuya, I'm still investigating that.

Tatsuya

Hmm yeah Haven seen em around much... Honestly I've been a little distracted by Maya lately on top of that.

Addalme

Did you saw him? If you saw hin tell ne when.

Akamoto_Shinji

*warps in*
Oh wow..... So the Library finally comes to the Nexus...

*sees Mokou and Patchouli*
You guys from the Gensokyo I visit, or are you like Sakuya and come from another timeline?

Patchouli_Knowledge

So they are physically a Stand, but their abilities are more versatile in exchange for being weaker...that is correct, yes?

Patchouli_Knowledge

I would not say timeline, but yes, I do not know you.

Addalme

Hi shinji, did you saw a man called Robin? He has white hair.

Tatsuya

Hmm I'd say that's about it. Of course people like me can use more than one Persona that helps.

Akamoto_Shinji

Gotcha, well, Here, I borrowed this from a different Patchy.

*hand Patchouli a book on Matter Distortion*

Good read, thanks.

Akamoto_Shinji

Hm? Robin? With white hair? I met one in Ylisse once.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Is that so? Interesting...it appears that this may prove to be a new topic in which to study.

Addalme

Has he a scar somewhere?

Akamoto_Shinji

Oh, if that's the case then no, I ain't seen your bird boy.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Ah, this. I did have this book, but it burned due to a... miscommunication...thank you.

Addalme

Ok, thanks.

See ya.

"He leaves"

Tatsuya

Hmm if you have any questions I'm happy to try and answer. Oh and Shinji I think we should talk about magic if you don't mind. I've gotten pretty decent with the basics by now... I think anyways.

Akamoto_Shinji

Sure, What do ya wanna talk about?

Patchouli_Knowledge

No, I believe that will be all for now. *Goes back to reading her tome*

Tatsuya

Well first off any ideas how to combine it with Persona? Also illusion how does those work? I've gotten the normal elements I can control Mana but that's given me trouble.

Akamoto_Shinji

Illusion Mana is difficult, simply because it isn't a Natural Mana, Its a mix between Reality and Light Mana, The best way to learn to sense it is to be subjected to illusions.

As for combining it with persona, Easy, a persona is in part an extension of your soul, which means it should be able to manipulate Mana even easier than you can.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Oh, are you using the Elemental Mana concept?

Akamoto_Shinji

Symphonian Mana, It's similar to the concept of Elemental Mana though.

Tatsuya

Mhh hmm his world does. Realty and light though eh? Sounds like a pain but I'll work on it. And yeah I haven't tried having a Persona use it that sounds like a plan.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Ah, right. It seems you know quite a bit.

Tatsuya

He's pretty sharp yeah.

Akamoto_Shinji

OOC: did you happen to read the TXT dump on Symphonian magic I gave Tats?

Tatsuya

I did yeah. I mostly recall it too.

Tatsuya

OOC: That was also OOC.

Patchouli_Knowledge

Ooc: a bit.

Akamoto_Shinji

OOC Ok, cool
