I'm aware that there are a handful of us who seems to enjoy books, so I'm offering up the idea of forming a book club of sorts.

At least that way, we can get together and discuss books - or even spells we've happened to come across. While learning Borderlines is important, I think these spells can be useful to know at least, even though actually applying them may take a little longer to figure out.

Another thing I'd like to ask is if who'd be willing to help out in organizing the library. It's a mess and I'm surprised that no one's made an effort - that I know of, anyway - to clean it up. It can take forever, but we might be able to find something that can come in handy in all of that mess.

If anybody needs to find me to discuss this in person, I'm currently at the library right now.

I'd be willing to participate in both the book club and the effort to organize the library, although I hold out little hope for the lasting success of the latter.

[lostinshadows]

I have doubts about the latter as well, but it's worth a try, right?

Do we have to be good at reading? I can barely read the BBS and signs and labels and that stuff. The day with the goblins I managed to read a children's book and loose words in a novel, though. It was fun!

[lostinshadows]

You don't have to be good at reading! You're always welcomed to come hear about the books and stories.

But if you have trouble reading, Kaya, I'm always happy to help you.

I doubt that library is going to stay organised even if someone does something about it, but we might as well try first. I've been trying to get useful information out of it on and off for the last few weeks, so if there's anything that stands a chance of actually turning up that information, I'm willing to join in with it.

[lostinshadows]

Your help will be very much appreciated. There was a book another person and I had come across the other day where we've found a book of spells, but it seems to have gotten lost again.

[And he's been trying his best to look for it again.]

Another best chance we have is to keep note of everything as we go along.

Lavi,

I wouldn't mind assisting you in cleaning up the library. I was looking into it for information with my God earlier and it was rather disorganized. It would be helpful we were able to organize to some extent.

I'd like to see if we can find spells or even read the books it has to offer. Somethings I have looked at are quite fascinating to say the least.

[lostinshadows]

Then welcome aboard. Perhaps we might be able to give it some semblance of organization, even if I doubt that it'll even be organized for long.

There's definitely a variety, at least, so there are always new things to learn. Perhaps this way, even if we fail in managing to keep the library clean, we might be able to make our own library.

Lavi,

A book club? I've never heard of such a thing! I think something like that would be interesting, and a good way for others to compare notes as you've said. I would be very interested.

I would also be interested in helping with organization. And it will only take forever if you think it will! You need to stay optimistic!

[--Lux.

Lavi has mixed feelings but he still carries on.]

Then welcome aboard. The more, the merrier, and being able to compare notes might help us get a better grasp on everything here.

I'll stay as optimistic as I can, but thanks for offering your help, as well.

[ Oh hey, Lavi again. Seeing this doesn't surprise him too much, given what he said in response to his study groups. But one thing does stick out to him - ]

There was a round of spring cleaning a little while back, but I'm not sure if it reached the library or not. I doubt so, and even if it did, it obviously didn't stick for very long. I don't think it's ever had any sort of organization that's *stuck*.

Making another attempt wouldn't hurt, and I would be up for a book club. Especially since a lot of those books in there have some practical uses, they're just hard for one person to find on their own.

[lostinshadows]

It makes me want to try to seek out any of the older gods to see if there's any way to prevent it from getting it so disorganized. It's a shame they've left it in this state for so long.

You're always welcomed to join the book club in that case. Maybe there'd be something any of us could have missed that might be useful to us in the long run.

[handle]

Lavi,

If you still need help with it, you can count me in in helping with organizing the library. The more books we have, the more we can learn about this world and everything in it.

[lostinshadows]

Welcome aboard!

I think we'll need all the help we can get just to get it into a cleaner state.

[pure_radiantics]

If it's spells, count me in for sure! I only know Bind so far.

[lostinshadows]

Glad to have you on board, Kairi. It seems that Binding spells are common.

[kokuyoyo]

Spells would be useful at least. I'm not sure what I would discuss when it comes to any books besides practical ones.






Probably nothing.

[lostinshadows]

It's fine if you want to discuss spells only. Discussing about books in general can be a bit of a broad subject.

Text; From: Yoon

[handsome_genius]

Is that what a book club is? "Get together and discuss books"?

[lostinshadows]

That's pretty much the gist, yeah. People have different views on certain books, so it's always nice to hear about their perspective and why they think that way.

I'm out of the country for the day, but I'd like to help try to organize. I've seen some interesting books back when they were misplaced. I'd be good if we could find them again.

[lostinshadows]

It's nice to see many people are interested in helping out with organizing it. Whenever you were in the library, have you come across any books with spells?

[deniles]

Keeping busy it sounds like.

[lostinshadows]

Certainly helps with boredom around here. Interested with the helping or just wanted to come and say 'hi'?

[action for action-oriented idiots]

[likethelight]

[ Does he or doesn't he... Does he or doesn't he...

...sod it.

There isn't even a response to Lavi's post. Allen had one (a poorly written one), but that seemed entirely wrong. Then he spent another five minutes spent debating what to say. And both only resulted in increasing frustration at the smartphone they'd given him because it's really stupid trying to have a real conversation over it on this BBS thing.

So he shows up in person a short while later instead, entirely unannounced. Well, though he does pause at the entrance to the library before just stepping inside, rapping against the heavy hewn-wood doors with his knuckles for a moment. ]

Lavi? It's Allen. [ Is he still here? It's really dusty and there are a lot of piles of books in no particular order. Almost like it's been abandoned... ]

I came to help clean this place up...?

[lostinshadows]

[The moment he hears Allen's voice, there's that initial desire to run. Away.

Lavi isn't even sure where this desire comes from; Allen seems nice despite the speeches he gave the last time they met while fighting that ayakashi.

But he knows he can't quite ignore him either.

He made a post on the network for the purpose of gathering help, and if he denied it -- well, it wouldn't be very good now, would it?

So, Lavi raises his arm out of a pile of books and waves at Allen.]

Over here.

I'll see what I can do about the library.

[lostinshadows]

Not interested in the book club?
