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!]

[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.]

Hello, Wan Shi Tong.

[The sudden shift in the rain is most curious and he looks down at Saori when she addresses him.]

Greetings, you are Saori, correct?

[He hasn't fully read the journal yet but has seen mention of her. Otherwise... he doesn't remember her at all.]

[She quirks her head, confused.]

Yes, I am. Have I left such slight an impression that you'd forget me so quickly?

I assure you that I have an excellent memory. If we have met before, I would not have forgotten.

[Except he has.]

And I assure you that you have. We had tea at my house just last week.

... This is most disconcerting. I do not have any memory of even being here beyond yesterday.

Oh, you were here for certain. You're rather unique, and my memory is bad, but not that bad.

... I see.

[Yes the thought of losing memories, and thus knowledge, is very unsettling for him. And it shows.]

Is this the Malnosso's doing?

I don't know.

[She just shakes her head, not really sure what to tell him.]

It could be. You say you have no memory of Luceti at all?

Prior to yesterday, no, I do not.

[What could this mean?]

Then yes, your memory has been tampered with. I'm sorry.

[Not sure what else there is to say. But at least he's not getting wet.]

And you say you can't get into the library?

[Well... as much as he dislikes that fact, there is nothing he can do about it for now.]

Indeed.

[And he demonstrates by stretching out a wing and tapping the barrier. Loki's ward and Walter's force field both having their desired effect.]

[Saori sniffs once or twice, tasting the air.]

Magic and technology. I do not know who's done it, but someone doesn't want you in here.

[A lie, she can tell Asgardian magic from other magic, but...not telling the owl. Not after the mess from before.]

Can your servant get you books as you need?

[Fortunately, Saori is a good liar and he has no reason to suspect anything so he believes her]

My Knowledge Seeker does seem able to go through the barrier, yes.

Then at least he can get you books.

[She looks around for the fox, not really wanting it anywhere near her.]

And I can keep the rain off. At least then you can read in peace.

That would be convenient, though I do not have a place in which to... read in peace.

[He highly doubts that many of these buildings could house one as big as himself, and reading in the middle of the street isn't exactly peaceful.]

Well that's not true at all. [She points to the barracks and the battle dome off in the distance. They're easily as tall as her home, if not moreso.]

Those are big enough for you, easily. Just have your fox...[She stumbles over the word with a grimace.] bring you books.

[Wan Shi Tong turns his sights in the direction of the buildings. Sigh. That is not exactly idea but...]

I suppose that will do for now.

It's better than outside, and you can program a room in the battle dome to look like whatever you want it to be.

[Wan Shi Tong tilts his head at this.]

As convenient as that sounds, would no one object to my using a room solely for my own purposes?

[After all, he could be there awhile.]

No, there are plenty of rooms there.

[And that sounds...nothing like Wan Shi Tong...]]

[Meet Wan Shi Tong before he lost all his patience with humanity, Saori.]

I see. Then I suppose it is the most suitable option until whoever has barred me from the library sees it fit to allow me entrance.

Yes. I doubt that it will cause a fuss. If it does, contact me. I will see about resolving the problem.

Very well.

[And with that, he decides that there's no use standing here any longer so he starts walking that direction.]

[And off she goes as well!]
