31st: The Spells of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[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]

Yes? It's only natural that in a place where you have benefits, you can and should use them!

[Voice]

[godbent]

[She almost bites in what's boring about these books, but then she hears symbology specifically, frowns, and then pipes in] What's boring about it?!

[godbent]

And what's a Runestone?

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...Oh, new. She shifts and then sighs] Yeah, it does. some of everything, a lot of Earth.

[action]

[godbent]

[And in the library... well, obvious where she is. As she's waiting she whistles to herself. She usually prefers humming or something, but in this instance it'll attract Leon better.]

[voice]

[godbent]

Yeah! I wasn't expecting Leon to- well I mean I guess that's what a genius would do, but still.

[godbent]

...Right. So can you help me or not?! Make it clearer!

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...Oh come on]

[voice]

[godbent]

And where do the crystals come from?

[godbent]

I've been working with it, but she's uncooperative anyway so I wouldn't count on it to work with her. I guess if I was going to try to combine doctrines by best bet would be with fire.

[godbent]

Yeah, of course - I'm not lugging all these out.

[winged_moon]

I may be able to.

But I am not certain that I wish to.

What about all those warnings about the danger of magic?

[action]

[fellpool]

[Shhh. It's still a library, you dork. But Leon does eventually make his way over to where she's been waiting ... and his eyebrows promptly disappear into his hairline at the sight of the books she's got piled up.]

Some light reading, huh?

[folklorist]

Mm I do know a good few fire spells then. In my world there's offensive spells and defensive spells for each element. [ And then there's so illegal spells which are thankfully not mentioned in that book. ]

How are you with the other elemental spirits? Or have you not tried with them yet?

voice;

[godbent]

What warnings?

[godbent]

Then I am certain I'm keeping these books.

[winged_moon]

Give me the books and I'll consider explaining them to you.

[action]

[godbent]

Not all of them were applicable, but I needed to work on something.

[And as noted last post she's been doing this a lot since the 15th. Albeit less since the cultural fair]

[godbent]

You've got it backwards, I've got the power here!

[godbent]

What about practical application? [But she shakes her head. Nah, no successes yet]

[winged_moon]

That would seem to be the issue, however.

If you do not possess the ability to use what is contained in those books, all the instruction in the world will not make a difference.

[Voice]

[selfhelp]

Wonder why.

[...Then again, why does anything happen in trans-dimensions? Geez, he really must be becoming a super hero if this sort of thing is the norm now.]

Hey, do you think you could hold up that second book again? Or the third?

[action]

[fellpool]

Right, right... You're putting more work into this than I'd put into my finals. [With a sigh, he takes a seat and scrutinizes the books a little more closely.]

You probably wanted to know more about practical Symbology.

[folklorist]

Practical applications, hm. Like using it to cook or keeping you warm during the winter? Easy enough when you have a good grasp on how to the control the fire produced. [ Nevermind his cooking explosion awhile back. ]
