016 // action - union library

[actsmagnificent]

[ The Divine Defense Force has its own archives of god-related rumors and history, but that's not what Haruka is currently interested in. No, Articuno had alluded to her that there's more to the new enemy forces than they'd seen in Glacier, so that has her interested in any old travel diaries or rumors of other areas of the world.

This kind of hearsay isn't easy to research in the library, but myths and urban legends sometimes are based in truth, aren't they? Haruka isn't a very in-depth researcher, but there's nothing saying she can't scan these books and wait to see whether her intuition tells her anything about their contents.

She looks just about ready to call it a day, though. Her legs are stretched out beneath the table and one foot is wiggling from side to side as she reads. Still, Haruka Tenoh does like books. Control your surprise.

Outside the library, a small blue dinosaur is waiting patiently for her new human. She's wearing a sandwich board advertising "Tickets Now On Sale!" with a dramatic painting of Takuto and Rise dressed up as Darkrai and Cresselia on it. (They're back to back and pouting.) The city is full of new smells and sights, and humans come in so many different colors! But she feels very important in her sandwich board, so those who pass her may be quietly, hopefully solicited. ] Ama?

[ The city is warm when one is used to Glacier, though. She's a little short of breath. ]

Comments

[If there is one person who can be found regularly at the library, it's Ami Mizuno. She had several books in her hand and paused at the sight of the amaura and smiled as she looked and saw Haruka tilted her head.]

Looking for something, Haruka-san?

[actsmagnificent]

[ Why is Haruka not surprised. Smiling, she leans back. ] Not productively.

What about you?

[allergictoloveletters]

Just needed some light reading after everything that occurred in Glacier before I started to research some things... actually, I wanted to discuss something with you. It's honestly something I want to discuss with all of us.

[actsmagnificent]

[ That sounds simultaneously ominous and promising. She glances around, dropping her voice below even a normal, responsible Library Volume. ] Do we need a room?

[allergictoloveletters]

It would not go amiss, however, the others should hear this too.

[actsmagnificent]

You talked to the gods. [ Taking a guess here.

But anyway, this sounds more promising than looking through these books for hearsay. She stands up. ] I'm free if you need me.

[allergictoloveletters]

Several of them, while they were quite wonderful to talk to, they did not exactly predict a pleasant future ahead of us.

[actsmagnificent]

You expected better? [ This laugh is not actually amused. But hey, a few gods do not want to kill them. Considering Haruka's own worst-case scenario fears, that's a step up. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

I hoped for better, there is a difference. Still, perhaps it will be useless to discuss this in private, considering it is something we will all have to eventually face. The more we can be prepared for it, the better.

[actsmagnificent]

[ They may not always have the same priorities, but Haruka can trust Ami to always make sense. She inclines her head. ] Arrange it and we'll come.

[allergictoloveletters]

Done. Until then, might I recommend broadening your search to not just Reshiram, but Reshiram's equal and partner, Zekrom? I'm already doing so.

[actsmagnificent]

[ ....yes, you're good at this. ] What typing?

[allergictoloveletters]

Oh Reshiram? He's a fire dragon type, incredibly weak to water more so than fairy typing. Zekrom would also be a dragon, but... I don't think he is a water type as that wouldn't make him equal to Reshiram, rather, it would make him more powerful. If anything, he'd be something that could protect Reshiram from water. So that narrows it to Grass or Electric. I doubt, however, he is grass as that would make him susceptible to Reshiram, so Electric is... far more likely, but this is only a theory.

[actsmagnificent]

Fire and storms. [ Haruka adjusts her pile of books. She can do that. ] We'll need a bigger umbrella.

[ Electric is reassuring, though. She can (probably) handle Electric. Though she wouldn't be surprised if Gods could ignore things like how she's normally shockproof. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

Preferably one quite deadly to dragons. But Haruka-san, we should also worry about the Enlightened that Reshiram is bonded to. He was a level 100, I didn't even think that possible until I actually saw him.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Now they're really getting into territory Haruka doesn't want to discuss places that are free and open to the public. She dips her chin low. ] One thing at a time.

[ She's not discussing her plans for said human - or her theories based on said human's appearance, and said human's chosen target - until she knows where all the others stand. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

Perhaps a meeting at the shrine, then?

[actsmagnificent]

It is almost Soulfasting. [ Ha ha.

She grins at Ami, but there's something more serious behind the grin. ] We'll be there.

[allergictoloveletters]

I'll let Rei know to prepare more tea than usual.

[actsmagnificent]

Such hospitality. [ They do like tea. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

I do endeavor to be a proper hostess to our friends and visitors. It's the least I can do.

[actsmagnificent]

We'll look forward to that. [ Good plan. They have a plan. Haruka likes having a plan. ]

Enjoy your books.

[allergictoloveletters]

And you yours, might I recommend, however... [She browsed the various titles and then pulled out two from the middle and near the bottom.] that you look into these two.

[actsmagnificent]

[ ....Analysts. Or maybe just "Ami". Haruka laughs and takes the books. ] Noted.

[allergictoloveletters]

Have a wonderful day, Haruka-san.
