[autumnswarm]

You can find Sullivan in OOPARTS, eyeing a gigantic pile of books, some of which seem to be labeled with no human languages. Their staff leans against their desk and their expression is... well, about the same as usual: impossible to read.

OR:

You can find them on a pier, staring off towards the ocean. A person with any sense of direction may be able to note that they're staring towards the Barian island. Here they seem almost melancholy.

*a familiar face leans against the desk.*

Got a collection going there?

Re: [Option A]

[autumnswarm]

"Ah, yes.

It's... everything I wrote down before I got that virus knocked out of me. All of that collected knowledge from devoured civilizations. The problem is that now that it's gone I can't read about three-fourths of this."

Re: [Option A]

[blackmage_linka]

Is it some weird viruswarm-language, or just a mishmash? If you can even read a fourth of it...

Re: [Option A]

[autumnswarm]

"It's a mishmash, unfortunately. I know people who could help, though them helping is... unlikely."

Re: [Option A]

[blackmage_linka]

Not good friends with them, huh?

*she plucks one of the top books out of the pile, opening it to get an idea of what the language range is.*

*Some odd woman has noticed you at the pier, Sullivan.

She at least knows what direction you're looking in, and that's strange enough.

But she's hiding behind one of the docked boats to stare.*

Re: [Option B]

[autumnswarm]

Sullivan sits up and looks around.

"...Layla? Are you spying on your sibling again?"

Re: [Option B]

[lanceandram]

*... she peeks out further.

This girl has way too light a hair color to be Layla. Among a lot of other things.*

Re: [Option B]

[autumnswarm]

"Oh, hello. My sister sometimes... attempts to leap out from behind something and strangle me. My apologies.

Sullivan Adams, scholar. You would be?"

Re: [Option B]

[lanceandram]

Oh, don't worry. I have no intention on strangling or otherwise, unless you suddenly come at me. *least she's fully honest about that. She steps out, finally.* My name is Lancea. I got... a little separated from someone-- a tanned man with dark hair. Have you seen him at all? *that sure describes a number of people.*

What's the problem this time?

::Leaning on your Desk, hand on it.::

Re: [Option A]

[autumnswarm]

"Oh, I can't read most of these books.

That I wrote while possessed.

It's frustrating."

Re: [Option A]

[isdragonlady]

Doesn't match Sumerian, Tongues or any of the obscure writing languages of the Duel Monster Dimensions?

Re: [Option A]

[autumnswarm]

"Closer to the obscure writings, but... In the way Latin is close to English."

Re: [Option A]

[isdragonlady]

I can think of three places that might have people credible in reading this stuff. On a guess. Maybe four.

Options three and four you won't like.

::A small child approaches you but, you know their aura from anywhere. It's the most eerie of Noriko's daughters.:: You look like you've seen Atlantis but know you'll never step on its shores.

Re: [Option B]

[autumnswarm]

"You're not wrong.

Apparently I can't go without 'an escort' because I'll 'do something weird.' It's all true, but I'm upset they called me out so quickly."

Re: [Option B]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

I realize this is hypocrisy coming from me, but you should work on your socialization skills. Especially regarding diplomacy.

Re: [Option B]

[autumnswarm]

"Mmm, I've tried.

Progress has been made. I at least have friends now. Perhaps saying 'I would like to know how you work' at Kaz's bookclub was a mistake..."

::Walking by with Dowsing rods. You can hear her loudly muttering to herself.::

Re: [Option B]

[autumnswarm]

They stare.

"... the water's over here."

Re: [Option B]

[weekendwitch]

Not what I'm looking for.

::Keeps looking around, spinning, the dowsing rods rotating gleefully.::

Re: [Option B]

[autumnswarm]

"What ARE you looking for then?"

Re: [Option B]

[weekendwitch]

A person. More accurately. Their soul.
