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!]

[That earns a smile - and a solution.] I can keep them dry long enough to bring them somewhere else where you can read them. After all, everyone should be able to enjoy them.

Hm... perhaps. Though where would you have me go? The majority of the structures in this village seem... hardly suitable.

[He's pretty big after all.]

[He is, but there have been other large beings before. Surely there must be somewhere. She tries to think.]

Where did you stay before now? [Not... very helpful, she realizes, as it was probably the library itself.]

In my world I dwell within my own library. So you could say I would feel most at home there.

So that's why you wanted to live here. I think it would be sort of exciting to be able to live in a library.

Indeed. It is quite enjoyable to be surrounded by such a wealth of knowledge.

For now, what about the battledome, or the community center? [They should be large enough to accommodate him... perhaps not very comfortably...] It's not what would be best, but for the time being could you stand it until this can be solved?

[Wan Shi Tong is not entirely comfortable with this idea... but well.]

I suppose it would be acceptable for the time being.

Just until we can settle things to find out why you couldn't go inside. [If she could, she'd walk him right in, really. But since she can't, this will have to do.]

Very well. I will wait.

And I can at least keep the books dry on the way there. Shall I go bring some?

[By 'some' she means 'a reasonable amount'; of course, by 'a reasonable amount' she means 'a reasonable amount for Mizuno Ami who is almost never seen without a book nearby'. So Wan Shi Tong will be served well.]

Yes, I would enjoy that.

[He will have no arguments over the amount of books she decides to bring.]

[With a polite goodbye, Ami heads inside the library, which seems to give her no trouble. When she comes out awhile later, she's carrying a pile of books just shy of too tall for her to see over. She has them carefully balanced so they don't seem to be giving her too much trouble.]

[And Wan Shi Tong waits. He's still there when she reappears. His Knowledge Seeker will also be following her out with another book in his mouth. He bobs and turns his head owlishly as he watches her carrying the stack.]

Do you need assistance?

No, it's alright. [She glances at the Knowledge Seeker and smiles.] I think your friend found one you might like, too.

[The thought is a reassuring one, since she reasons the Knowledge Seeker, connected to Wan Shi Tong, probably knows his tastes and needs better than someone he's barely met yet.]

I see. I look forward to reading these.

[You may have just brightened his day a little.]

Please tell me if you like them. When you finish, I can bring some more sometime. [Just until they can find a better, more permanent solution, of course.]

I'd like to hear a little about the library you lived at back in your home, too, sometime.
