No running in the Library.

Temporarily finding yourself as a waterfowl does not exempt you from that. If you must chase one another in here, walk.

[mutter] I highly doubt they will listen. I almost stepped on a few of these slow-witted beasts just entering.

[unkindnessof]

Then I'll consider this a fair and prior warning. The City is big enough that they don't have to run amok in here.

[seeking_heat]

You'd think so, except people tend to gather at familiar places when stressed.

This curse is an annoyance, just when I need to start my research too.

[ooc: Akiha has some demon blood running through her, so Raven may sense something off]

[unkindnessof]

Xanadu is an open area; they can run around there as much as they like.

You can still start if you want. It won't be that much different in here today, I don't think.

[ooc: She has no qualms about sending them off somewhere else... like the Gardens. ;; And okay; Raven won't be able to tell just what is off though, and plenty of people ping her as odd in the City so she won't be particularly thrown unless it manifests somehow. 8D]

[concept_killer]

Wow. Harsh.

[unkindnessof]

I don't think so. The Library is hardly the place for a literal rendition of duck-duck-goose.

[concept_killer]

But they're cursed. What do you want them to be? Not cursed?

[unkindnessof]

I want them to be cursed somewhere not here, in the Library. The City is big enough.

[reading_readman]

A-Ah, it's a little hard to concentrate with all the commotion, isn't it...?

[unkindnessof]

Are they bothering you where you are?

[reading_readman]

Oh, I'm a rather focused reader, so I wouldn't mind any noise, b-but some of them are a little... Ah... W-Well, some of them are a little... With the beaks and... Um...

A-Anyway, as long as I find somewhere high enough, I seem to be alright...

[unkindnessof]

Mmn, I'll come see what I can do. Shouldn't have to resort to sitting on top of tables and shelves to read.

[compactcrucifix]

Walking makes for boring chases.

[unkindnessof]

The point was that they shouldn't be chasing each other in here.

[compactcrucifix]

Oh.

Are they getting feathers everywhere?

[unkindnessof]

I'm not so concerned about feathers as much as them tripping the actual people and getting both parties hurt, or knocking over the carts. [and the fact that birds have no control over their bowels, that too, but she wasn't going to vocalize it.]

[smilenipaa]

Mii~? You work at the library, Raven?

[unkindnessof]

Yeah, for a while now.

[smilenipaa]

I haven't been there in awhile so-- mii~, um, that's where the school is held too, right?

[unkindnessof]

I'm not in the main lobby very often while I'm here anyway. The school is in the Academy, yeah, I think so. Do you go?
