Chapter Two - And the Owl Came Back~ [Video/Action]

 [The video feed will come on with a figure that most everyone in Luceti is probably familiar with by now. The large owl towering over the journal and an overcast sky above him as it rains lightly.]

Greetings citizens of Luceti, I am Wan Shi Tong, he who knows ten thousand things.

[Sound familiar?]

In my world I am the spirit of knowledge and I have my own library for the betterment of mankind. As such, I believe my services here would be most valuable to you. 

However, it would seem that for some reason I am unable to enter your library. I would appreciate an explanation or perhaps some assistance in this matter. 

[The feed will then cut off. And in the mean time, the owl will be sitting outside the library. In the rain. He's getting wet out here.]

[OOC: Feel free to either respond or run into Wan Shi Tong getting wet outside the library!]

[Xellos appears beside Wan Shi Tong with a rather large colourful Umbrella which he spins around playfully]

It is a good barrier, isn't it?

[He holds the umbrella over Wan Shi Tong's head and then just allows it to float there keeping him out of the rain]

I would think that should be blatantly obvious, Mr. Wan Shi Tong.

[Well, day two, and Ginko has managed to get an umbrella and some standard cigarettes... but neither hide nor hair of his box full of mushi and scientific equipment. He was about to make his usual rounds to the store, but something of course is immediately distracting.

That certainly looks more familiar (and worrysome) than anything else in this town. He's across the street, watching as some people walk right by and others avoid the issue altogether... that's... odd. He's not sure whether to approach, or to give this god or spirit its berth.]


You look out of place.

[He doesn't directly address Wan Shi Tong with that, but it's audible enough.]

[Seeing the broadcast raises some questions. She's not sure what happened the week prior...but given their conversation over tea? She has an idea, but nothing solid. And frankly, he probably brought it on herself.

Either way, she has errands to run that happen to to bring her near the library. And when she spots Wan Shi Tong just...standing there...she'll take pity on him. The rain around him just sort of begins to slide off as she nears, leaving him at least somewhat dry.]

[There was a girl wandering the streets of Luceti. She was always much more active and willing to come into the village during a good rain. Today she had come in to find more clothes at the clothing store. Apparently the humans here like it better when she wore clothes that were not dirty and tattered.

Which may explain why she's wearing a large, green halter top and a pair of orange men's shorts. Styling has never been high on her list of things to do. She just liked the halter as it didn't get in the way of her large pair of white wings. Wan Shi Tong may be interested to note that while her clothing soaks in the rain her skin does not. Almost as if it's absorbed right into her skin.

She has larger facial features, legs, arms, fingers, and toes than a normal human has. The blue scales that dot her body in clusters should also be another dead giveaway that the woman who slows to look the spirit up and down is not at all human.]


I have not seen a creature such as yourself in my world. [She tilts her head. Unsure of the proper greeting. The sensation she gets from the owl is not that of a demon or a God, but he is so large she is not sure. Good thing being blunt is her specialty.] Are you a God?

Helios will frown and he steps outside with a book nestled in his arms. No rain touches him or the book as it hits against a barrier around his person. ] I see you're back. There's a barrier around this library to-to prevent you from coming inside, as I'm sure you've figured out.

[The rain had been somewhat off-putting, but the thought that there was knowledge about Lorule open to anyone who wished to see it was even moreso. And therefore keeping it in pristine and away from others was her... duty. It was necessary to ensure the land's safety, should one ever find themselves there and seek to take the damaged kingdom.

Which is why Hilda is carrying books pertaining to her home, as few as they are, in one arm when she meets the owl outside. Her other hand carries her golden staff. Habits can't be changed. Even for rain.

... Her heart kind of goes out to him. How unfortunate it was to have a duty, and yet not be able to do it. The thought itself scares her.]


Pardon me, but do you plan to stay out here until you're let in? It's a shame to see someone such as yourself, someone whose duty pertains to this place and its safekeeping, sitting out in the rain.

[Hilda herself didn't see what the whole deal was. It wasn't so farfetched to think that a spirit of knowledge would want to inhabit a library, though all the spirits in her world were of a bad nature. A duty was a duty - especially if born into it.]

Excuse me. If you'd like, I could bring out some books if you were looking for something specific. I'm at the library pretty often, so, I know the shelving system pretty well; it's not a trouble.

[Aang saw the journal entry shortly after he parted ways with Wan.

He felt a lump of guilt inside of him, but he wasn't sure why. Had the negotiations not gone so smoothly - had Wan Shi Tong been brainwashed in some way? Or had he gone home and come again within a week from a much earlier point in time, in an example of how fickle this world could be?

Aang didn't consider the other alternative. He did not want to consider that Wan Shi Tong was gone for exactly a week and the implications of that specific period of absence.

He had a sad smile on his face as he approached the Knowledge Spirit. Just as he was doing to himself; he did to Wan Shi Tong. He quietly bent the water around them so it was like they both had invisible umbrellas.]

[Jade remembers the owl alright from the shift. And since then, he's only been silently following the proceedings over the journals; Nephry had spoken with him will enough. But now, this new turn seems curious. Could he not remember this place in some way?

He was actually in the library at the time, so he stepped outside and opened an umbrella for himself as he looked up towards the gigantic owl, in a casual manner.]

[There’s a distinct lack of bitterness in the way the spirit addresses the network particularly in his acknowledgement of the library as belonging to those other than himself. Isaac suspects first that it may be an act, but from what he knows of Wan Shi Tong it seems just as possible if not more so that he would favour a direct approach to problem-solving over bothering with subtler means and manipulative games. Either way, Isaac isn’t about to let a surprisingly optimistic perspective on the potential of mankind, sincere or insincere, go without voicing his own opinion.]

Betterment…? [He lets out a soft, scoffing chuckle, though his amusement doesn't reach his eyes.] Please; if you hope to persuade these creatures that you have their best interests at heart, you are failing miserably.

... but, um. That's kind of a HUGE owl, and he looks more than a little nervous about approaching it, meaning that he's going to hang back and just stare for a few moments while he tries to work up the nerve to get closer.]
