Transmutation 6 [action]

[xerxesalchemist]

[Van Hoenheim received a phone call from the library, informing him that if he missed any more days of work, they were going to fire him. So now, he's at the library, rather confused, shelving books. Feel free to notice him]

Comments

[mysilenceknot]

[Lemony, who was also at work that day, happened to notice they had a new worker. Which is why he walked over.]

Hello, I take it you work here as well?

[xerxesalchemist]

[23 glances over at the man, and nods. The boy doesn't look much like a library worker, with bare feet, pale brown homespun clothes that were obviously a regain, and long golden hair tied back with a string into a messy ponytail.]

Yes sir. I got a phone call today about it. They said I hadn't been showin' up. 'm Van Hoenheim.

[mysilenceknot]

[He noddes back]

I recived a similar phone myself a week or two ago.

My name is Lemony Snicket.

[xerxesalchemist]

[a nod, he goes back to his work, placing the books into their proper locations, occasionally putting one in place only to take it back out and re-shelve it further along the line.]

[twilightcleric]

[La la la, Shino's wandering around the library and wondering at all the books on cooking and childrearing. Which is helpful, because she's not the best cook.]

[xerxesalchemist]

[23 is shelving books, occasionally putting one on the shelf, looking at it twice, running through the alphabet under his breath, and moving it to another spot. However, he's getting work done steadily.]

[twilightcleric]

[After a while, she's just going to stop and watch him, because the sight is much more fascinating that a lot of these books.]

[xerxesalchemist]

[And he is a bit of an odd sight. Torn (but clean) shirt and capri-like pants that obviously didn't come from the town, bare feet, long golden hair tied back by a string into a messy ponytail, and angular golden eyes.

He's continuing to shelve books, working his way along the row.]

[releasethekey]

[ Sakura's in the library, trying to find some books that will tell her more about Mayfield. Or at least, something. Books, after all help people learn! ]

Ah, hello!

[xerxesalchemist]

[a nod]

Hello.

[releasethekey]

Do you work here?

[xerxesalchemist]

Apparently. Just started today.

[braided_icarus]

[Ed's wandering in the library, skimming over the bookshelves absently as he searches. He stops when he notices the new librarian/assistant. There was no way. Now Hohenheim had managed to worm his way into Ed's second home? Does. Not. Want.]

[xerxesalchemist]

[and not only is he working at the library, his regain from the last event was his old clothes, cleaned but not patched, which he's wearing now. He looks more then a bit like a hobo.

He doesn't notice Ed, since he's more concerned at remembering the order of the alphabet (for putting the books in order, he may have messed up once or twice) than looking around.]

[braided_icarus]

What the hell are you doing here? And what are you wearing? You look even more like a hobo then that Idiot Prince. Tch.

[xerxesalchemist]

I work here.

And there's nothing wrong with my clothes. They're mine, not this town's.

[still not even bothering to look at Ed]

[holdtheturkey]

[have another co-worker, wandering around with a large cross staff, but otherwise looking pretty at home]

Are you doing alright?

[xerxesalchemist]

[a nod, still shelving books.]

I'm fine.
