† 1st Mystery; Arrival
Characters: Willard H. Wright, Whoever else makes the mistake of speaking to him
Setting: Room 1-18, Cafeteria, Library
Format: Brackets as starter, but I can switch to whatever.
Summary: The usual new arrival crap, you know how it goes.
Warnings: Old cranky angels are rude as hell
----------
[Room 1-18]
[The first thing done upon regaining movement is a slow, glance-over of the letters, except they're tossed aside in record speed in favor of freezing in place for a minute or two, eyes closed.
No contact. Great.
Then it's like a switch is hit and all the slow movements are switched to a snapping efficiency, slamming open the trunk and digging through the clothes to land on - something.
A frightening stack of six-hundred plus papers that gets pulled out and flipped through quickly while crouched, then - just as quickly as the energy appears - it goes out. Back to apathy with a sigh and a shut of the trunk.]
[Floor 1]
[Alright whatever, so apparently one of the things you have to do is eat the stupid oatmeal. Whatever. There's worse things in the world to deal with.
So after getting dressed and maybe punching a wall or two, there's a deadpan mountain of a person slowly reading through a pile of papers and tapping against the bowl in a manner that can only be defined as distracted.]
[Floor 3]
[Obligations completed, the next thing on the list would be exploring the tower and taking mental notes.
Except the third floor was a library.
Okay, mental map of the tower can happen later. Now is the time to hide out in the mystery section for hours and hours and hours on end. At least he keeps to himself.]

The first of a long line of works would make it like an appetizer, huh.
no subject
It does..but it's a really delicious appetizer! Don't mark it down just because it's something to start off with! After all, it does make you hunger for more.
no subject
[Short books of high quality can be worth just as much, if not more, than longer ones. Also you can never go wrong with the Mystery genre.]

[Useless jerks wouldn't know a good book if it rebounded off their skull.]

no subject
[If they're not idiots, then they'll know where the good books are. If they say they're not good books, then they were idiots in disguise. Logic.]
no subject
Well, that's true! And I've been doing that with anyone I see that doesn't quite know where to start reading.
no subject
Good. [A light smile here.] Hopefully they keep up the habit.
no subject
Oh, I think they will! After all, once you start reading wonderful books, it's hard to stop pulling them off the shelves! It's like finding a million different kinds of candy, and you don't have to pay a single cent!
no subject
Yeah. A shame some people don't have the same appreciation. [There's an unspoken feeling in the air that can only be described as 'haha, their loss'.]
no subject
Well, that's why we have to spread the love of books around and hope that they'll appreciate them the same way we do eventually.
no subject
I'm too old to be spreading love around. I'll leave the dirty work to you.
no subject
You're never too old to spread the love of literature! And it's not dirty work! After all, I'm a pure, innocent book girl, and I do that all the time!
no subject
[Translation: calling himself a lazy old man who doesn't want to talk to people.]
no subject
no subject
[It's the kind of 'Sorry' that comes off totally flippantly, but as if from someone that never apologizes ever so somehow ends up feeling more valuable than a sincere one. Weird.
T'was a self-depreciating joke, and nothing more.]
no subject
That's alright! As long as you remember it for later, it's okay. However..you do know that age isn't a limit to spreading the love of literature, right?

[And right after the translation clicks, everything in Tohko's mind might start screeching WRITER.]
no subject
I'm guessing, by that comment, that you're a writer or an editor? Which books have you worked on?
[Tohko would like to see them.]
no subject
[Though there's no guarantee his stuff is here, but you never know with those weird trans-dimensional fragments.
Unfortunately, the second question means she gets a smirk, somewhere between amused and vicious.]
Mystery Genre.
[No wonder he's so cagey about it. It's the genre where you have to figure things out for yourself.]
no subject
Alright then! What's your name then? And, if you won't give me that, then I'll need the name of the author that inspired you the most!
no subject
Heh. Easy.]
Doyle. His books are terrible.
