[A- First Floor- At all three meals] Here sits Mary Batson, in her ridiculous overalls, brown hair pulled into a perfect braid. She spends a moment bent over the food, eyes closed in silent prayer, before she sits up and gives the food the most puzzled expression.

"Oh, not that I'm complaining, but I do wish there was something a little sweeter on the menu."

[B- Third Floor- Midday] As Mary Marvel this time, you can find Mary floating near the top of the bookshelves, sitting cross legged, and occasionally picking a book off the shelf to flip through. This wouldn't seem so strange, until you notice the fact that all the books she has tucked under one arm are brightly colored childrens books.

Whoops. She just dropped one. Help a girl in a cape out?

[C- Fourth Floor- After Dinnertime] Mary Batson is bored. She's finally resorted to laying down on one of the couches, staring up at the ceiling, or playing with her Tawky Tawny Tiger doll. Watch out, if she sees you, she's going to jump up and greet you right away.

Fletcher is shelving books. At first this had seemed like the ideal sort of job, but it's more tiring that it had seemed at first. The cart is hard to balance, there are way more books than he realized... and people keep messing the library up.

A book drops at his feet. He looks down at it, a little weary, then reaches down to pick it up.

[marvelously]

"Oops! Sorry about that!" Mary calls out, before coming to a landing beside Fletcher.

"Oh! Hello again!"

[greennotgold]

"--hi, Mary!" It's been a few days, so it's nice to see her again. He ducks his head shyly and holds the book out for her. "It's okay! Um... Here you go."

[marvelously]

Mary beams as she takes the book from him, clutching it against her chest with the others. "Thank you Fletcher! I was just admiring the books, and Holey Moley there sure are a lot of them here. It was easy to get carried away!"

[greennotgold]

"Yeah... I can't believe how many books there are," he replied, looking up at the shelves. "I've never seen a library this big. I don't think the State Alchemists' library in Central is even this big..." Of course, he's only seen it from the outside.

B!

Shoutarou happened to be walking by when that book fell, and with deft smooth operator skills, he catches it!

"Lose something, miss?"

[marvelously]

"Holey Moley!" Even in her shock, she manages a smile, then she goes ahead and makes a landing by him.

"I did! Thank you!"

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou nods, handing the book to her. He's not one to judge one by their reading material, given the eccentricities of his former partner and his attention span.

However, the flying is a bit odd. "If I'm not finding people who think they're countries, I keep finding people with superpowers, it seems."

[marvelously]

She arranges the books under one arm after she's received the book from him, and musters up a ridiculously bright and cheery smile.

"It is a little unusual, isn't it? Even I know that, and I'm pretty used to them!"

A, Lunchtime

[she pouts] I want something sweet too.

[marvelously]

[Double the pout]

Maybe...tomorrow? [They've had sandwiches since they got here. Probably not.]

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should take some!

[marvelously]

Take some?

Romeo isn't bored, it's difficult to be bored when you have so much to explore, and even though he has been here a few days now he still hasn't seen anything.

He's still frightened, he still doesn't know where he is, why he was saved or why none of his friends are here. But since he is here he might as well make the most of it.

He sees the woman lying on the couch and pauses, there is an awful lot of adults here but they are all as trapped as he is. "Hello miss," he smiled politely.

[marvelously]

As soon as she sees Romeo, she hurries to sit upright and plaster a goofy smile across her face. She can't go looking all bored and glum when there are other people around, especially not little boys.

"Oh! Hello, how are you today?"

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine miss, how are you?" He smiled politely. Piccolo wriggled out of his shirt and ran up to his shoulder to get a look at the new person.

[marvelously]

"Oh, I'm just fine and dandy, thank you very much for asking!" She says, before getting a surprised look on her face at the sudden appearance of Piccolo. "If that isn't just the cutest widdwe thing I've ever seen!"

[what up roommate just peeking at the doll] A cat?

[marvelously]

[Mary bolts up, beaming]

A tiger!

[froghunting.livejournal.com]

[she.. takes a step back] What are tigers?

[marvelously]

Oh, they're just very large cats!

"You sound like my sister." She laughs a bit, "She was put out about the oatmeal."

[marvelously]

"It's very nice of them to offer us food! But I think it would be better with a few spoonfulls sugar. ...And some sliced strawberries. And blueberries." Mary's getting carried away just thinking about it now.

[pineandmaple.livejournal.com]

"Or a little brown sugar and maple syrup. I would never waste my syrup on oatmeal though. Pancakes or nothing, surely." Canada nodded firmly.

[marvelously]

"That sounds really delicious too! I can't blame you for wanting to save some though." She pauses, thinking for a moment. "Oh! I know- maybe we'll have pancakes tomorrow!" It doesn't seem likely- but she looks awfully optimistic about it.
