† 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.]

[She wasn't, but if she had gotten one, she had a story to help explain herself and protect the truth.]

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.

Oh, good. I'm glad to hear that. Some people tend to mock appetizers, but those people always forget that great appetizers can be harder to cook than a main course.
tohko_amano: (Apologetic)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-07-03 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true..but it's even worse when they're not idiots, but just really unfamiliar with good books!
tohko_amano: (Happy)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-07-03 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Or they had different taste buds. That happened with both books and food, and since books were Tohko's food, the comparison was even more accurate.]

Well, that's true! And I've been doing that with anyone I see that doesn't quite know where to start reading.
tohko_amano: (Delicious!)

[Not that Tohko had met anyone like that or was like that herself. The Great Gatsby was one of her favorites, and she loved munching on classics.]

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!
tohko_amano: (Happy)

[It was interesting, but quite delicious. Like a cup of hot coffee without sugar followed by a frozen cream puff, and, finally, a piece of chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It really was good.]

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.
tohko_amano: (Lecturing)

[Of course! After all, bland books weren't that fun to read or eat. However, when the man called that sort of work dirty, Tohko fumed a little at him.]

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!
tohko_amano: (Looking over her shoulder)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-07-04 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I know that, but if you put it like that, you make it sound like spreading the love of stories is something disgusting, dirty, and something that's really terrible and tiresome, when, in reality, giving someone a love of stories and introducing them to the right person can help them, or even save their life.

[At that apology, Tohko smiled and nodded. It did sound a bit flippant, but..it was probably sincere, since different people had different ways of expressing things sometimes.]

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?

Oh, really? What's your method, if you don't mind telling me?
tohko_amano: (Apologetic)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-07-04 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Tohko usually compared books to food and chefs to writers, so she looked a bit puzzled at that comment..but she still kept on smiling.]

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.]
tohko_amano: (Serious)

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-07-04 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
[And that comment just sparks Tohko's interest..but the fact that he is a mystery writer probably means that he'll run with the genre and make it a puzzle for her. Fair enough. Thinking, Tohko smiled as she spoke to the guy.]

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!
