[Fujiko has been raiding the library for the past few days looking for something very specific. Upon finding it, out she rushes, delighted with her discovery, only to remember something very obvious.]

Ciel! I found those books you were looking for. [And how. There's at least 3 Sherlock Holmes books, and a good stack of 20 other books. Anyone want to help the busty chick move those books? The little kid probably won't help that much either.] There were even some others I'd never seen before, but they look like fiction. And I got you Hound of the Baskerville, because it's just a really good book.

Hey, just so I know, if there are any fans of French literature out there, is anyone else here familiar with Maurice Leblanc or Arsene Lupin?

Oh! And Valvalis, I can start whenever you have time. [Aha, that might explain all the wind magic books she's got. Still, even though normally she'd make Lupin do all this work, she doesn't look too unhappy.]

Comments

Stupid LJ gimme my notifs >:|

[doubleppk]

[Nope, she just backs right up into him. Hopefully he doesn't mind the giant boobs and flailing.]

Ah? Oops! SORRY!

Yup, LJ is a bitch

[originaljackass]

[D'oh! He nearly loses his own stack of uh, children's stories. But he quickly gets his balance back.]

Whoa! Easy there. [He tucks his books behind him with one hand, then tips his hat with the other.]

Word

[doubleppk]

Sorry there! [Grins up at the uh... cowboy.]

I guess I tried to get too many at once, haha.

[originaljackass]

[Not a cowboy. Well, not in this century anyway.]

I noticed. Need any help there? [Being up against a shelf, he smoothly slides his fairy tale collection on top of some other books. They can wait until later.]

[doubleppk]

Maybe just a little! If it's not too much trouble~? [Blinks up at him hopefully with big brown eyes.]

Bossy little kid was whining about having nothing to read. Normally I wouldn't care, but he's missing out on some of the best parts of history~!

[originaljackass]

[Oh Fujiko, you had him at hello. Or maybe at 'giant boobs'. Either way, the eyes are totally working.]

Who am I to deprive kids, bossy or not, about he finer points of history? Of course I'll help. [He'll start by lightening her load a bit, now that his hands are free.]

[doubleppk]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! [Small affectionate squeeze and now that she has him, she's loading him up like a mule.]

Were you looking for anything? I can help~? I'm much better at finding things than carrying them, haha.

[originaljackass]

[For as many books as he has, it's not the weight that bothers him. Just the awkwardness of balancing them. Still, he's doing a fine job. He gives her a wink in exchange for the squeeze and does his best to not act bothered.]

Oh, I already found what I was looking for. I can come back for it later. No need to rush, right?

[doubleppk]

Ah, sure!! Thank you so much Mr.--?

Oh! I'm Fujiko Mine! [Beams, and kind of bounces as she picks up and carries the rest of the books.] Thank you so much Mr. Savior!

[originaljackass]

Horner. Jack Horner. [Oh, Miss Mine, he already likes you.] Unless you just prefer Mr. Savior. I'm not picky.

[doubleppk]

Maybe a little bit of both~? Hm! [She's good at that.]

Think a tall strong guy like you can handle walking through the snow with me~?

[originaljackass]

I think I'll manage. The cold tends not to bother me much. But you'll have to excuse me for not getting the door for you. [Horrible manners, isn't it?] My hands are full.

[doubleppk]

[Laughs cheerfully.] Of course~! So long as your manly honor can take a woman getting the door for you for a change, mm~? [Playfully teasing tone.]

[originaljackass]

I'll just have to earn those manly points back later. [He chuckles at that as they once. Once at the library doors, he'll wait for her to do the honors. He gives her an expectant smirk.]

[doubleppk]

[Laughs again and bounds ahead of him, practically skipping and in an obviously good mood.]

I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunites. [Winks!]

[originaljackass]

[This? This is what he's been missing in Luceti. He's so very much in his element now. It's all too obvious by the permanent grin on his face.]

Oh, definitely. [He follows her on out into the cold outside air. Now he wishes he had worn sunglasses, because of the glare off the snow.] So what prompts you to be so generous to the ignorant?

[doubleppk]

The kid's clever and cocky enough to remind me of someone. I kind of want to put the two of them together sometime and make them duke it out~ Plus, well, I've met the thief in the stories. They're classics, so it'd be nice to have someone vaguely know some of what I'm talking about.

And if nothing else, this many books should take him awhile so he won't be so whiney! [Clearly all generous and altruistic motives.]

[originaljackass]

[He peers at one of the titles in his stack of books.]

Arsene Lupin? [He gives her something of a perplexed look. Not that he disbelieves her, but one of curiosity about the kind of world she's from. For how fantastic all these people are with their abilities, a lot of them come from rather... mundane worlds.] You've met him?

[doubleppk]

Sadly, yes. You've heard of him? [Sadly Fujiko has no innate abilities. Just crazy impossible experiences. HOW REVERSE.]

gonna be vague. Lupin could easily exist as a fable in Jack's universe

[originaljackass]

You could say that. [He won't say exactly how he does, though.] Anyone else that's famous like? [In the more novel sense.]

Makes sense XD

[doubleppk]

Well, I never met Sherlock Holmes of course, he died way before my time.

I'm rather aquainted with Lupin III though. That's how I met his grandfather.

[And no, she's not even going to mention Dracula or the time she pickpocketed Jimmy Carter and stole his wallet or helped steal J.F.K's Christmas present. Because... that kind of stuff is just hard to explain.]

Re: Makes sense XD

[originaljackass]

[And yet Jack wouldn't bat an eye at any of that stuff. After all, he's a living, breathing member of the kind of things she hunts for a living.]

Was the thievery hereditary?

[doubleppk]

[She'd definitely get a kick out of that.]

Pretty much, yes.

[originaljackass]

Now how does a nice girl like you get mixed up with someone like that?

[doubleppk]

Oh, you know~

Doing a little of this and that. He gets in my way often.
