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!]

[Strange indeed. The barrier doesn't seem to affect Ginko, which is an odd juxtaposition as his hand goes through the entrance just as easily as if there were no issue and the spirit's wing clearly strikes something solid. Ginko spends a few moments inspecting the door frame and the ground. He can't see anything very clearly, even after several solid minutes of close inspection.]

Sorry. I can't see what's causing this, just yet. Why did you want to use the library?
smokesmushi: (Tell me what happened)

[It does explain some things.]

Do you spread it, feed from it, or hoard it?

[He's expecting "feed from it" given the strength of this barrier.]

Alright. It looks like this library, unfortunately, is someone else's territory. We'll probably have to find a place for you to start from scratch.

[Always rough, but it always has to be an option. He can only imagine what his Mushi-collector friend would wail about if he lost his collection and had to start all over.]

Is there a particular type of knowledge you collect? Or is it simply all writings?

[Sounds like Ginko's kind of place. Except that there's no place Ginko would stay in for long if he could so help it.]

Well, there's no shortage of strange knowledge to collect here, with people being from different worlds. I've been here a day and I'm already dizzy with the diversity.

[He'll shake out his umbrella a bit before opening it and stepping back out into the rain under it.]

I don't know if any of these buildings are open and available to begin a collection, or will be large enough to take care of one properly.
smokesmushi: (Hmm...)

That is a difficulty. I've not had to provide housing to a spirit, before.

[Hmm. He pauses, and just steps aside so that people could go in and out of the library at their leisure.]

Are you the only spirit here?
smokesmushi: (Dang it)

[personal profile] smokesmushi 2014-05-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. This village's relationship with spirits is still something I need to learn.
smokesmushi: (You can count on me)

[personal profile] smokesmushi 2014-05-14 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? I'll have to learn more about them, then. Nothing quite like Mushi...

[Which reminds him!]

Have you heard of mushi?
smokesmushi: (I think that turned out pretty well for)

[personal profile] smokesmushi 2014-05-14 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
They're a form of life common in the world I was pulled from. I studied and worked with them and people with them.

Once you have a library set up, I can contribute at least a few stories for you.
smokesmushi: (Turned out well)

My name is Ginko. Might I know yours, as well?
smokesmushi: (Bundled up)

[That name puts him at ease - foreign, but only a bit compared to a lot of the very western presence this village is dominated by. Mainland Asian is a much more familiar tone.]

I hope I'll be able to read or hear some of your stories as well, Wan Shi Tong. For now, I'll go grab a map of this place. We can find somewhere dryer to read it out of the rain, then.
smokesmushi: (Map)

I'll be back in just a moment.

[It shouldn't take too long, right? The maps section probably isn't too hidden, and there's bound to be a copy of the Luceti map. He'll come back, the map carefully rolled up and in a cloth bag. He'll take up his umbrella again.]

Alright. Let's find a building better suited to your size for now, at least.

[Some of these buildings are pretty large! Surely there's some space they can hunker down into.]
