[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.]

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?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Well considering I lived in Paris.

[doubleppk]

Ah, really?!

[Babbles rapidly in French.] What year was it? Do you know if Lupin got any further with his goals. No wait, I mean, not that I care, just curious. Eifel Tower's still standing of course, right?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's certainly still there, of course. I lived their since I was born sometime before the turn of the 20th century until sometime during the German occupation during the second world war. I then spent several decades traveling before settling in Japan sometime before the turn of the 21st Century.

[doubleppk]

Hah, sounds almost like the reverse of me. I grew up in Japan, but I've been spending many years off and on in France ever since. Anything big in the papers last time you were back in the world?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Well, the region of Japan I live in has been cut off from the outside world. For about 15 years or so, I have heard mostly nothing of what goes on outside Gensokyo.

[doubleppk]

Oh, I see. Mind if I ask what happened?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's been that way for over a hundred years. It was established as a paradise for youkai, whom are not exactly welcome amongst humans.

[doubleppk]

Youkai? I see. Pity then. Is it better that you are out now?
