[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.]

Right. Aresene Lupin the Third.

He's pretty famous during my time. Unfortunately.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

That sounds... startlingly familiar for some reason.

[doubleppk]

Oh?

You've heard of him then?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's possible. I read a lot.

[doubleppk]

He's so flashy. Always trying to get into the newspapers.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

In this case, I believe it was a... comic book.

[doubleppk]

By Monkey Punch?

[ooc: In the manga, Lupin yells at Monkey Punch for being mean to him, Fujiko yells at Monkey Punch for always trying to her naked and not giving her enough screentime. 4th wall break yay.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Something like that. Did they even have permission to do all that?

... Do they even need it, for that matter?

[doubleppk]

Whatever, he's such a pervert stalker. So obsessed with naked boobs and things. At least he's easily distracted.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it.

[doubleppk]

Well, anyways, that's the grandson of the Arsene Lupin in the Maurice Leblanc books.

Whether he's more of a jerk or gentleman is debatable.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I see... It must be rather fascinating knowing such figures of literary history.

[doubleppk]

Mah... it's a tough call.

Sometimes they're a lot more impressive in the stories. You know how everyone says celebrities are just regular people with over inflated egos? Lupin's like that.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I can believe that.

[doubleppk]

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, he's got his moments, but if he were here, he'd probably just flirt and try to get in your pants. He's like that.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... I see.

[doubleppk]

Mm-hm. He's a public menace.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind should he show his face.

[doubleppk]

Make sure to kick him and say it's from Fujiko too. That should show him.

[Best relationship ever.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind as well.

[doubleppk]

Thanks so much dear!

I'm Fujiko Mine, by the way.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Patchouli Knowledge. I believe we've spoken before.

[doubleppk]

Oh, that's right! Prison economy! [What a thing to be remembered by...]

Hey, how've you been?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

-She had to give a chuckle at that.-

I've been well enough.

[doubleppk]

Glad to hear it. So you really read a lot of French books as a kid?
