[Video] How dare you, goblins

[He is so mad. So very, very mad right now. He doesn't remember how much he loved books beforehand, but he does know that he has all of two personal belonging here - his satchel and his feather hairpiece. That means anything not nailed down, he doesn't mind taking. He found those books, that made them his.

Until the goblins came.

He had the sense to go back to bed after they woke him up in the middle of the night, but he can most certainly scream while preparing breakfast.]

Of all the things to jump into my bed in the middle of the night and take from me... Books? Not even books that teach you fundamental skills! Puff the Magic Dragon, a children's book, clearly; The Giving Tree, which is also more art than words and not even diagrams; and some kind of book that actually had pieces that jumped up at me off the page.

The books were lying on the ground! Clearly whoever lost them didn't care that much about them! So I picked them up and brought them to my god's temple! What was wrong about that?!

If anyone has books that they don't want anymore, I will gladly take them off your hands instead of throwing them on the ground!

You also found books on the ground?

Great, so there were more? What's going on with people, I know there's all these problems with ayakashi to worry about but it doesn't take more than a second to put a book somewhere else!

Re: Video

[misterfrumpyface]

Three more, yes. If they were mistakenly dropped, it might be understandable... but not even the most careless person could drop that many books and fail to notice. Where did you find them?

[loveheart]

The books my god and I found were taken away too. Maybe they threw them away and suddenly realized they were important.

At least you got to keep them for a little while!

Re: [Video]

[handsome_genius]

It wasn't long enough! I wasn't finished reading them! And since they were taken, I can't even finish reading them! Ever!

[This probably shouldn't upset him as much as it does... but it does.]

[loveheart]

Have you tried visiting a library and looking them up?

[There, there. Love for books is still great.]

[So another person's gotten their books taken, too?

But damn can this guy scream.]

So, your books got taken, too?

Re: Video

[handsome_genius]

Why do I have to keep repeating myself? Yes, my books were taken.

Did you at least see where the jerks went?

Re: Video

[lostinshadows]

[...Feisty, too.]

No, I didn't. I just holed myself up in the library trying to find the books again.

[ Yoon looks mad, which is pretty scary and she almost doesn't answer, but she'd woken up to find the books she'd found had gone missing too, so maybe something had happened while she'd slept last night? ]

Are you okay? [ Have a worried six-year-old contacting you. ] What happened?

Re: [Video]

[handsome_genius]

Ah... Nanako... It was...

[He clears his throat.]

I was woken up in the middle of the night. A robbery. I'm working on tracking down the culprits now.

[By... yelling about all of this. Instead of asking for help. He's getting there.]

If you need to break something or have a good cry, Zeno will listen... maybe it was a trap?

Re: video;

[handsome_genius]

A good cry?! Breaking things?? Did I say anything like that?

[Not that he'd be caught crying if he could help it and doesn't think he's strong enough to break anything without a tool.]

Oh dear. Thank you for the warning. I just found some books lying around as well. if their owner is going to come back for them so abruptly, I'll be sure to leave them on the table. [He's certainly fallen asleep with books in his bed before. He could do without someone suddenly leaping onto him while he's asleep to grab some books.]

You mentioned that you had a god? I assume that you're a shinki then. One of the books I found includes instructions on a shinki truth spell. Would you like to have it instead?

[Since the book won't remain in his possession for long, he might as well pass it to someone that could find a use for it. After all, he doesn't have a shinki that could use it anymore.]

Re: Voice

[handsome_genius]

A spell? I'd... But I'm a stra- I MEAN YES I DO WANT IT!

[He has no idea if this is anything like borderlines but sure enough he'd rather read any book once than never.]

[Chikusa is clearly sulking about this too. Sure, his weren't of the most importance, and could probably be easily found on the Near shore, but.... still.]

[It's the principle of the thing.]

It's so bothersome.... but I suppose the owner is probably powerful enough if they had something so minion-like retrieving them.

...At least... that's how they were taken from me.

Re: video;

[handsome_genius]

A bunch of these guys are running around? Some sort of book-stealing syndicate?? What the hell!

[Some people might think that sounds like the most stupid idea ever but Yoon is just plain incensed by the idea.]

Sounds like minions alright.

[fadingsunshine]

[It's shaky at first since it's her first time doing a video reply.]

Um. If they were theirs, couldn't they just knock and ask instead of barging in? That way seems so scary.

...I saw some books on the way to the park but I didn't pick them up yet. I'm not that good at reading so I can give them to you if I can't understand them well?

Re: [video]

[handsome_genius]

I agree. It's just plain thuggery to come into someone else's... living quarters.

[Hardly his 'home'.]

Do you remember what kinds of covers they have? Sometimes the designs can tell you what the contents are.

Re: voice

[handsome_genius]

[Nice, he'd only just figured out the video feature.]

What kind of a mistake would involve children's books?

[smilingbullet]

Maybe the one that forgot them is simply really forgetful and realized it once you had already found them?

Re: from: carl adler

[handsome_genius]

Then they could have explained that to me instead of pouncing on me while I was sleeping!

[That's what's kept him grumpy throughout the day as well.]

[heptagram]

They left you them and them came right back around and took them? Those bastards!

derp I lost this notif sorry

[handsome_genius]

Exactly!! Did they take something from you too?
