A - [12:37PM]

[Laurent is holed up in the archives today, as usual, looking through old books in the University library and going through them page by page. He's a real egghead, so he actually enjoys doing this, believe it or not. What he doesn't like so much is the dust, which is making him sneeze more often than usual. So he's taken his findings (about six large texts) out to a quiet park near the University and sat down at one of the tables usually used for chess. Instead, he has the books strewn around, and he's writing in a blank page journal that seems to be mostly filled already with a fountain pen. His Solosis is bouncing around nearby and generally being more interesting than Laurent himself, getting grass stuck to himself every time the gelatinous ball rolls on the ground.]

B - [5:26PM]

[After school, Laurent can usually be found in the Business or Residential Areas either heading home or simply people and Pokemon watching as he shops. His mother gives him a small monthly allowance so he's decided to stop by Pokeco to see if he should get anything for his Pokemon friend. He's tried his hardest, but Solosis has gotten a bit spoiled... The young man is looking around the different products with his bag still full of books to continue reading at home and his Solosis on his shoulder wobbling excitedly.]

[Usually Professor Heinrich has all the books he needs for his classes already in his office, but today he encountered a question from one of his students regarding some legendary pokemon that he didn't know the answer to. Of course, this means he needs to peruse the library. Gertrude, his Mareep, waits patiently outside the stacks for her trainer to return, wishing he would hurry up already so they could go to lunch before his next class (and her next nap).

Finally, Albert emerges empty handed but with directions from a librarian that a student checked out the book he was looking for. He sets out to the park with Gerty to find him, not intending to ask or the book, just see it long enough to write down the information for later.]

Excuse me?

[Lux is also out shopping, having just returned to the city earlier in the day, after a rather long exertion. She hasn't quite noticed Laurent yet, however, since his back is turned to her. He is, however, standing in the way of something that she's looking for.]

Excuse me, do you mind if I squeeze in here?

[This is so not a good idea; he's going to be seen and someone's going to tell his grandfather and he's going to be grounded for 500 years. But there've been some...developments with regards to his Pokemon friends (one large development, actually, named Gertrude) so research is necessary. There's limited information on the topic Armin is interested in, but he's managed to find at least a few books (read: about 35) that are applicable.

So he'll be wobbling across the lawn, books stacked in his arms, with his Ralts buddy trotting along beside him, carrying a small book on non-meat-based recipes. Because of course these nerds are vegetarian. Meredith will notice gooey blobby Solosis, though, and deviate from it's route, scurrying over to say hello.]

[Bertholdt also finds himself looking about at the Pokemon treats and gourmet food available to buy for his Magby. Being a sifter.. he could feed himself off the same foods but out of all the Pokemon-preferred tastes he had food was one that preferred human meals.

He also enjoyed the cute stories about rescue Pokemon the shop had to offer and from time to time (more so than often) he'd fish around for anything new. Hand going to the book on the top before it intercepted Laurent's.] Oh.

[Nervous as he looks up to face the other.] S-sorry..

Woah, save some for the library, huh?

[ Seriously, how does one take out so many books. Jean just happened to be walking by (to pick up a book himself, maybe, don't judge.) ]
