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!]

[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.]
smokesmushi: (Let's get started)

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.]
