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]

Comments

wow not [voice] actually now

[godbent]

Pissed off? [...No, that was just a good fallback] Sad? I don't know, you're supposed to be eating ice cream by pints like this, right?

[Stupid movie cliches. She snorts, mocking her own sappiness]

oops...

[menial]

I don't think it matters what you're supposed to do, Haruhi. Just feel like what you really want to feel like. It won't be bad.

[godbent]

I really want to- [...To something. The anger is a front and she's well aware of that by now] I want to be okay with her]

[menial]

...That's good, Haruhi. So what do you think that'll take?

[godbent]

I don't know. I thought it'd be better when I saw her at the cultural festival.

[It wasn't, ugh]

[menial]

So what happened there?

[godbent]

She just broke up with me? What do you mean what happened?

[menial]

Well, I wasn't planning on asking about that... I meant the festival. But I guess-- "Why did she decide to do that?" is a legitimate question too.

[godbent]

Oh- [She groans, and tugs a bit at her ribbons before she just shakes her head] At the Cultural Fair? We just... talked. I guess I freaked out and told her to go.

[menial]

...

You've got to start working on doing less freaking out, Haruhi. Not that she isn't completely insane for breaking up with you like that, but... Still.

[godbent]

-She's not insane!

[...But she knows. she bites her lip and sighs]

[menial]

...

Well, it wasn't the best decision she's made, let's put it that way.

[godbent]

I don't know, maybe it was? [Ugh]

[menial]

... Why do you say that?

[godbent]

For what she thinks, it's not unsound, it's just stupid.

[menial]

Well, whatever you want to call it, then.

What do you mean, what she thinks?

['Not that I haven't already heard it from her, but still.']

[godbent]

[...Hah]

Well, it doesn't really matter. What it boils down to is that she has a childhood friend which- [...No, don't go there] ...She's from a world which is like our turn of the 20th century. She feels old being nineteen.

[menial]

['No, can't let go of that one yet, Haruhi.']

A childhood friend? ...You mean Elric?

[godbent]

...Ugh, yes, okay.

[menial]

And she feels like she should settle down. And you think it's with him that she wants to do that.

[godbent]

Anyone with half a brain knows it's him.

[..Ugh.]

[menial]

Well, why do you say that?

[godbent]

It's just how they are together--- why are we discussing this? Drop it.

[menial]

Well, it seems kind of relevant.

[godbent]

Maybe, but it's not something that we need to dig into - the last thing I need is to totally ruin my rela... friend- Whatever with her over a stupid boy.
