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]

What about all those warnings about the danger of magic?

What warnings?

You know. Lovecraft. Cosmic horror.

Are you stupid? Since when did that apply here?

How do you know it doesn't?

Because I've already worked some out to no ill effects, everyone else here uses it, and you can't summon things here, I've tried.

... What have you tried to summon?

['I swear, if it's Yog-Sothoth or whatever...']

Some elements. A few lesser demons, nothing much.

Oh, yeah, just lesser demons. Nothing much at all.

Exactly!

Isn't it usually better to keep all demons out of your life, though?

Not if I can control them anyway?

Who knows if you can control them forever?

I mean, talk about not fixing what isn't broken.

Come on, if I couldn't control them I'd just dismiss them! Worst comes to worst I'd have someone else exorcise them.

Right, and as the quote goes, the best-laid plans of mice and men never go awry.

Good thing I'm not a mouse or a man!

I think pretty much everything in between and outside is included obliquely, too.

That's beside the point. The point is that I'm on top of this and you're planting excessive concerns that art pointless anyway.

[...that and she is using this to distract herself]

Yeah, but I'm sure most of the Lovecraft type people who mess with magic and stuff think they're on top of it too.

Will you quit it with the Lovecraft? Jeez. None of these are about the crawling chaos.

['Yeah, just the constantly erupting chaos.']

Well, that hardly means it isn't dangerous.

No more dangerous than anything else here.

Well, it doesn't mean you have to go inviting it, nevertheless.

But I want to. Jeez, get that through you skull.

Why, exactly, do you want to? If it isn't broken, leave well enough alone. Or there'll be too many cooks in the kitchen.
