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]

It's about Runes...

[[Because Viki is a genius...]]

I don't know what it says in the book though. It might say a lot about the history and creation of Runes.

[[Young Viki would totally ace this quiz right now.]]

[godbent]

Well yes, some of it did sound like the creation myths you might expect.

[blinkingusalong]

I don't think that book will teach you how to use or engrave them though... Which wouldn't do any good anyway unless we found more Runestones.

[godbent]

And what's a Runestone?

[blinkingusalong]

It's like a little glass ball with the power of a rune in it. You take that to an engraver, and they can transfer that power over to a person's hand so they can use magic!

[godbent]

And where do the balls come from?

[blinkingusalong]

Uhm... I... I don't know... Sometimes monsters are carrying them, or you can buy them in a store but... I don't know where they come from before that...

[godbent]

I see.

[So basically, you're worthless]

[blinkingusalong]

I'm sorry... But... I'm not sure anyone really would know where they come from either. There's that story about how the Runes were made, but... I don't know if it goes into how the Rune stones come to be.

[godbent]

Don't you people study this stuff?

[blinkingusalong]

There are a lot of people who do, just... nobody here. If only Miss Jeanne were here...


I think I used to but... I don't remember...

[godbent]

O...kay. [useless then]
