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]

Oookay, then put her on the line!

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

She's not here right now.

[Voice]

[godbent]

[ :| ]

Then why bring her up?!

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

To make a reference to her character.

[Voice]

[godbent]

[UGH.]

Worthless.

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

I'm the future Magic King. I think I'm far from worthless.

1/3

[godbent]

2/3

[godbent]

[Okay, if he's a the future "Magic King" he could be pretty useful! But he said someone else would know more about the books, which means..]

[godbent]

You have some sort of massive natural talent or a special object which basically lets you cheat your way to the top, right?

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

I'm allowed to cut corners due to my talents, yeah. I've got a Grimoire of my own.

[Voice]

[godbent]

[Okay, looking over her books... nodding to herself] Is a Grimoire more than just a book as you understand it?

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

Hold on a minute... I'll let him explain it.

[There's going to be silence, then another voice will come on.] Hey, hey! Can you hear me, little lady?

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...Are you serious]

Yes, yes I can.

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

[Y E S.]

A Grimoire becomes your 'way of life', your 'heart' and your 'soul'! Whenever you're studying magic, you'll need a 'thema' and everything will start there! Like for example, what type of magic do you wanna study?

[Voice]

[godbent]

Whatever type I can make work.

[Flatly.]

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

That's awfully specific. She'll become a top-class magician in no time.

Hyahahah! I like your style, girlie! But don't take magic too lightly. If you use it thoughtlessly, you'll be consumed by a "demon" one day, okay?

[Voice]

[godbent]

I doubt it. Summoning doesn't work here, so unless demon's an analogy the only ones I'm at risk for are the ones that show up in the barrier, and most of them probably don't even relate to magic. Besides, unless any of these books are from your world the principle might be different.

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

Different princples, huh? Man... Either way, things that are furthest from one's common sense is "true" magic.

[Voice]

[godbent]

...What's that supposed to mean? Most of these have rigid structures anyway.

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

It's the motto back home. Oh yeah, I never did mention what kind of magic I use.

[Voice]

[godbent]

Uh huh, so what is it?

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

My first technique is denying it completely!

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...Oh come on]

[Voice]

[cuethemasong]

And my second is using magic alchemy, but I'm still getting used to that.

[Voice]

[godbent]

Like potions or is yours also physical transmutation?
