godbent | 31st: The Spells of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice / Action for the library]

[For the last 20some days, Haruhi Suzumiya has been obsessively studying. While she slowed down some after the Cultural Fair, it still was a very, very welcome distraction from thinking about how much she was hurt by that break up. Which is why she's been in and our of the library a lot. Finally though today she has decided to prop open the journal and ask for help.]

Hey, Luceti, does anyone recognize these?

[And she moves the journal to focus on:
* Helios's universe basic spellbook
* Basic Buffyverse spellbook (possibly this one or this one)
Lined up next to each other. these are the two she's had the most success with so far... she even more or less mastered one of the spells in the first one.]

Or these?

[And now it focuses on:
* Touhou Grimoire
* CLAMP universe magic tome (Western)
* CLAMP universe magic tome (Eastern)
Much less success here...]

Or this one? [She is much more unhappy sounding at this last book (a Greenhill Academy Rune textbook) because she's had basically no success even figuring out what it is talking about other than it apparently deals with mythology and magic... things.]

Or, I also found the "Writings of Aurelius" next to those first two ones, but I'm not sure if it's got spells in it or not... [it feels ominous, actually... so she figured it might, but- inside it just looks like a bunch of horoscope type things as well as just some weird old school notes]

I'm looking for people who know these books and are willing to tutor me in what's within them. I expect answers ASAP; that is all. [A pause] Also, Leon, since when do you write textbooks? [And then the camera focuses on a book written by Leon DS Geeste on Symbology]

[Anyone can, of course, question here about this post. Or the books. Or both]

...Aurelius?

[ d-does buffy sound scared? ]

Yeah, that's right? Assuming I'm pronouncing it right: A-rei-li-us?

[...She does and that's weird]

P-prophecies, right?

Mostly... some of these seem more like something more akin to a journal? Or I'm just reading it wrong, the language is difficult even for me.

[ Helios knows his own basic spellbook from a mile away. It's a basic human spellbook and he knows he's seen his around before. He's never had someone specifically ask about it though. It's a good thing he's in the library today when Haruhi makes this entry. He'll eventually come over after she's done making her inquiry over the journal system. ] Ah! Haruhi, good afternoon!

I see you found the learning spellbook from my own world. [ A smile. ] How is it coming along? [ Have you tried any of those spells? ]

....I think I recognize the topic one of those is on.

[Mildly... curious. That school was fairly famous in his world, and that combined with the word 'rune'......]

[BWUH. Okay you are not a ninja, but that still surprised her a little. She doesn't jump out of her skin, but she does recoil a bit and wave at the books she has stacked up on the table]

Which one is it?

Oh yeah, which one?

The one about runes.... I think. There is a famous school in the north that goes by that name, though I have never seen it.

[He doesn't know what they are specifically, but they do look like something from the Academy.]

--Grimoires? Are you trying to become a magician?

I a-apologize for startling you. [ Helios is totally sorry about that Haruhi! Helios will give a sheepish laugh as he rubs the back of his neck. He'll point to the book that says "Low Leveled Spells: A guide to learning elemental magic". ]

That one.

Uh... that one goes on about a sword and a shield?

Oh! [That's the one she's had the most success with, actually. She beams at that book before standing. She inhales... exhales... and then holds out her arm. Incanting the words with power and clarity the way the book specifies, she says:]

Glacies contego!

[And at this, from her palm comes a small shield of ice. It grows to about the size of a small shield you'd see in a knight story before holding there a moment... and when she lapses concentration is falls and seems to melt]

Or a wizard or witch or sorceress, whatever you want to call it.

..That is probably the story of creation.

Yeah, it sounded like a creation myth.

[A weird one]

The True Runes mentioned there are often claimed to be the source of all runes in my world, so the creation myth being mentioned there is not surprising.

[...] And what's a rune? [Seriously, this book doesn't really explain that because it takes for granted people in the world would know what they are]

All three would qualify! Lilith would probably know more about the books you've got there.

Oookay, then put her on the line!

[Well of course. Runes are... runes.]

Runes are my world's version of magic. I have been told they are akin to 'magical tattoos' by some here, though that is somewhat inaccurate.

[...Okay, she figured it might be like that based on her study of the Runic she's needed to do for the teleportation spell she's been working on but-]

And...?

She's not here right now.

[ :| ]

Then why bring her up?!

They are magical symbols we embed in our hands or forehead to allow the casting of magic. [He isn't a Rune Sage- he couldn't tell her much.]
