I'm growing legs--

[this has to be a severe breach of some kind of library etiquette. there's a figure that's climbed halfway up a bookshelf in an attempt to reach a novel somewhere near the ceiling. even weirder is that it's Evan pressed like a spider to the side of the shelves, that is, until his foot slips and he ends up clinging on for dear life]

Ah! No no no!

[A ladder slides along the side of the bookshelf before coming to a halt next to Evan. A voice comes from the ground]
You should really be a little bit more careful you know.

haha, sorry! got distracted

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

S-sorry! I couldn't find the ladder before, and I really wanted to get a book from up top, and... i-it seemed like the only way...

Understandable.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Namine smiles up at him]
Hmmm, Well maybe next time you should put a little more effort into looking for the ladder. I wouldn't have like to walk into the library to find a dead person on the ground.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

W-woah! Look out!

[frantically looks around for something, anything that could be of use, standing right beneath you. and by standing, I mean jumping from foot to foot, panicking.

wait, is that a ladder over there?]

Don't let go!

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Oh, well. I wouldn't be dead-dead. Just broken. But that's sort of like dead for me, so thankyou!

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

I-I wont't!

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[Roxas runs over and fetches the ladder, struggling with it since it's heavier than he expected.]

Here!

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

Use a ladder.

[older Roxas with a cane isn't going to bother finding you one.]

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Ah, th-thanks! I'm lucky you were around.

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

I couldn't find one!

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

Then don't climb the shelves.

[will just be watching here.]

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

I was trying to get a book...

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone risk their life trying to get a book? Not even Zexion would do that.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

You really were. I almost decided against going to the library today. I was planning to stay in my room and train.

[discreetly looks Evan over just to make sure he's not injured.]

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Looking for a book? I was trying to get one from up there, but...

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it would be so high up, it didn't look so bad from down there.

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

[just watches while looking slightly amused, not saying anything.]

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

my internet connection keeps acting up.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Yup, I'm looking for books about robots.

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

[doesn't really care and starts looking for something decent to read and picks a copy of Medea from one of the shelves.]

aw, that sucks

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Really? Maybe I can help! I sort of am one!

Combined with time zones it really does.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

You are?!

[excitement wohoo!]

My sort-of-brother too!

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Mmmm... these are all textbooks...

:<

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. I'm a robotic entertainment unit, so I keep my owner company and can play music for them.

"Sort-of-brother...?"

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

[Roxas is a grumpy 27-year-old with no people skills, don't expect too much if you don't try harder. he's looking through a shelf with Greek literature and plays, with titles such as Oedipus Rex and The Oresteia.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Owner...?

Yeah, we were both created by the same person but he's a robot and I'm a replica.

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Well, I was designed to be a product. My manufacturers were trying to make a companion unit, though I'm only the prototype. I found an owner here, but I haven't seen him in a long time...



What's a replica?

[radio-aids.livejournal.com]

Are there any good ones over here?

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

Oedipus Rex is pretty good.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[a product. this thought disturbs him slightly.]

A replica is a copy of a person. But I think it works differently in different worlds. And I suppose I was something of a prototype myself. I was meant to be a warrior Sora with no heart.

[Namine blinks, a little confused]
Oh...Kaaay...
[She pushes confusing thoughts from her mind]
So, what book were you looking for?
