[Anyone in the library has a good chance of finding a certain fairytale-loving nation hunched over a rather thick book of folklore and fairytales, an even bigger stack next to him. Is he going to read those, too? Nope. Already read them. Twice, in fact. The only sign of this is the notebook filled with quotations, his own personal comments, and

Comments

[bornwithskison]

You're too loud in this place, stupid. [All without looking up, though he does erase something.]

[bornwithskison]

I could hear you all the way from he--Watch your language, you. There might be children in here.

[sanctusdei]

[Theo's a librarian, and in his boredom/looking for stuff to do, he can't help but look over your shoulder and see you reading up on the Draugr. This is relevant to the interests of necromancers. Not that he knows a whole lot about them.]

Hmm. Draugr. Nasty things, so I hear.

[bornwithskison]

[He flinches. Totally not expecting to be creepered on!]

Fascinating, all the same.

[sanctusdei]

[He's really good at the creeper thing.]

If I recall correctly, they're the ones who can grow big and eat people? Sort of... like a ghost and a zombie at once? I'm surprised you managed to find anything on them here. This library is usually so... stale.

[bornwithskison]

Drive animals mad, too.

It's the little things that help. Dig hard enough and you can find anything, I suppose. ...Most of the other things I found are just children stories, but... This actually delves into folklore a little deeper. Most of the things in the notebooks are from memory 'n witnessing things.

[mctsunderviking]

[Oh hello there, here's a rather grumpy viking who was trying to find those books there. She had to make sure her already acquired knowledge of dragons wouldn't start fading on her.]

That's where the dragon books went...lovely.

[bornwithskison]

[Oh hey, he recognizes that voice.

Kind of. But have an ex-viking calmly pushing the stack closer.]

Help yourself.

[mctsunderviking]

...

Thanks.

[Just slowly taking the first book off the stack and vigorously flipping through the dragon section...but hur, one problem, she can't read English. So she's giving the page a 'wtf' look.]

[bornwithskison]

[When he hears nothing but the pages turning, he gives a curious glance over--and then he can't help the tiny amused smirk.] Need any help?

[kindlichekaiser]

[She was in the library herself, currently, wondering if the book she was from was somewhere on the selves... and what would happen if she opened it to read it. Would she have to give herself a name? Meet herself?

...Actually a chunk of the fairytale section seems to be missing. Confused, she wanders until she finds the nation--and the books scattered around him.

Well she didn't want to just take the books without asking or anything, so she approaches the other cautiously] ...Sir?

[bornwithskison]

[All without looking up from the book he was currently writing from;]

Hm?

[kindlichekaiser]

Are you finished with these books? [She gestures towards the piles, despite the fact he isn't looking at her]

[bornwithskison]

Go ahead. Everything in those books I already knew. Most of 'em, anyways. [A light tapping at the book open in front of him--] Only one I've found really worthwhile.

[semblance]

[Totally just lives in the library half the time or something

and she's discretely peering over his shoulder to look at what he's doing. Normally she wouldn't but Norway's already done that to her before so she figures it'll be okay.]

Draugr...?

[bornwithskison]

[He finds

nothing wrong with this.]

An undead or ghostly spirit that haunts the burial mound of a deceased viking. Supposedly one here in this town.

[semblance]

[just sitting down across from him now

because she's probably tired from working and dragging whatever fifty million books she's currently reading around.

and she's quite interested in this sort of thing, despite being Miss.Logic]

What on earth gives you that idea?

[bornwithskison]

He told me he was one.

[He's just

a little ashamed to say that he's been here since the library opened this morning.]
