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]

Wait, so you're saying you've already learned some? [ please tell her you use it responsibly. ]

Well obviously! [and she holds up her palm to the camera, mutters to herself, and a fireball forms in it. Some more muttering and the fireball dances around her hand before breaking into five parts and going on the tips of each of her fingers. She then closes her hand and dismisses the flames before holding her palm out, breathing in, and then speaking a word of power:] Glacies contego!

[And then a large shield made of ice forms around her palm. That remains there for a moment under her lowers her arm and the shield falls, melting as it goes down. And then she grins back at Ange] And that's not even getting into my teleportation spell or the various healing abilities I've picked up!

[ ... okay, that might be Ange looking impressed for a moment. That sad moment when you're a witch, yet others have far surpassed you already.. oh well, not like she particularly cares about witch status and all, but still. ]

You've seriously learned all of that in a place like this? I didn't even know that was possible.

Well some of the books I've tried didn't work at all, and the fire thing is admittedly using the filial spirit, Eferin... [And she now counts on her finger] Cure and Cura I needed Xion to tutor me in, the teleportation spell I needed Helios to tutor me in, but that ice shield you just saw I picked up out of a book, yeah.

[A beat] ...Maybe I should try to get down martial arts things soon. [Beyond what she already had]

... Martial arts isn't on that level at all. Physical fighting is way easier.

[ speaking from experience.. although Ange doesn't have any formal training, but she's still pretty okay with it without even trying. ]

Compared to that, learning magic is almost a pain.

Tell that to a martial arts master after they use qi to manipulate your insides into jelly!

I'm just saying it's easier to learn, not that it's necessarily stronger. It all depends on the situation.

And I like my insides the way they are right now just fine. [ no burgers. ]

You think mastering chi is easier?

I've never tried that.

Well that's principle to advanced martial arts!

So soon you'll be going around turning people's insides to jelly? I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Wha- no, of course not! At best I'd use it for chiropractic stuff! Besides, the only master I know here is Uriko and Kenpo seems too attack-oriented for me.

It's a good thing to know the village won't be gaining a new menace in that case.

Besides, who knows. Some other master might show up here eventually with the way this place works.

Don't make me out to me a thug.

You aren't doing it, so you're not becoming a thug, right?

Shut up, that doesn't even make sense.

Then I will do exactly that. Goodbye.

Fine, get lost.

[Ugh. And now her mood's bad again]
