Research

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[It's not strange for Aqua to be in the library. She spends most of her time here, or training. But, it is a little strange to see her researching darkness...

There's a little frown on her face as she reads, and anyone who knows her will recognize that look in her eyes as worry. Goodness knows she worries enough.

There are several books on the table she's sitting at, including more about darkness, history of the worlds, and, if one bothered to look hard enough through the large book pile, a book about dark magic. Not the black magic she's been learning from books with magic from other worlds, AKA Final Fantasy land. No, this book contains a different kind of magic. She didn't read much of that. Really she was only looking for one thing. And, she's not completely happy that she found it.

Anyone's welcome to bother her. And she might especially want to have a word with a certain helldebt ]

[You're a double of her mother, she knows that look, she's gotten it enough. She's also had a runin with that guy. Avani peers over at the book Aqua's reading and hmms.]

Interesting book yu got there.

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Blinks and looks up at her.]

Hm...I suppose.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[Avani's kinda quiet, she isn't sure if she should really interrupt, but decides what the hell and sits across from Aqua.]

What's got you interested in that kind of stuff?

[She reaches into the fanny pack she's taken to wearing the last couple days and pulls out a charm that looks remarkably like Aqua's but pur black. Excuse her for being nosy, she wasn't sure what else to ask! XD]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

Just, doing a bit of research. In a place like this, I'd like to know as much as I can about these things.

[That charm catches her attention though.]

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I get bored in libraries, that's why i'm hardly ever in here.

[she turns the charm over in her hand a few times and sighs a little before putting it back.]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Tiny amused look.]

I see.

...Where did you get that charm? If you dont mind me asking.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[She bites her lip and rests her chin in her hand.]

There...there was this guy...he...well...I'd been having these bad dreams lately, and i figured it was because of my Darkness levels going a little bit crazy...I told him I wanted to help keep it under control and...he gave me that with the conditions that...[Trying to remember exactly what he said hold on...] I had to check in with him once in a while and not to let anything happen to it because I'd get the Darkness back again if it broke.

Now I'm not so sure that was a good idea but I can't back out of it can I?

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Frowns a bit.]

...May I see it, please?

[Don't worry, she's not going to do anything to it. She just wants to look.]

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[She reaches back into her pack and pulls it out.]

He said all my Darkness was in here now.

[As she hands it over.]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[She just frowns more at that, turning it over in her hands. Inspecting it.]

...If you're not sure it was a good idea, then you should try to back out of it. It would probably be a better idea to deal with your Darkness yourself, rather than a quick and easy solution. Those usually have consequences.

[Hands it back with a small smile.]

Whatever you decide, good luck with it.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[She takes it back and nods a little as she puts it away.]

Thanks.

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[Tilts her head a little.]

I dont think I've met you before...What's your name?

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

{She gives a tiny smile.]

Avani.

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Smiles back.]

It's nice to meet you Avani. I'm Aqua.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[She almost says "I know" but refrains because she doesn't want to break her brain. So she just nods.]

Nice to meet you too.

[Then she starts to reach for one of the books in the pile cause she's curious.]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Yeeaaah...No brain break please.

Doesn't make a move to stop her. She doesn't mind people reading the books. She's busy with hers at the moment.]

[ultimacannon.livejournal.com]

[ Speak of the devil! It's Terra!

...and he looks incredibly tired, as if he didn't get much rest. Nevertheless, he approaches Aqua slowly and with a yawn. ]

I thought you'd be in here.

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

Am I that predictable now?

[Gives a small smile, but it fades a little when she sees that.]

Not getting enough sleep?

[ultimacannon.livejournal.com]

Well, you're slipping, at least.

[ He shrugs. ]

It's fine. I've just been having strange dreams lately.

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of a worried look at that.]

...Want to talk about it?

[ultimacannon.livejournal.com]

Might as well. I just don't know what there is to talk about. They're just dreams.

[ ...Yawn. But man, he is tired. ]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

But if they're keeping you from getting a good nights sleep you should still try to figure out how to stop it.

[Worried. :<]

[ultimacannon.livejournal.com]

Dreams aren't something that you can control. I'm not sure how I would stop it to begin with.

[ He gives an agitated sigh. ]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Hmmm...Maybe...]

One moment.

[She'll stand up to quickly search for a book she read earlier. Feel free to have a look through any of the books on the table!]

[ultimacannon.livejournal.com]

[ Well, he'll look over them briefly while he waits, as he's never been one for heavy reading. ]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Fair enough. Still, it's strange that Aqua of all people would be studying darkness...]

[ultimacannon.livejournal.com]

[ And Terra's noticed... ]

Why are you studying darkness?

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Was just returning, with another book yay, but pauses a moment when he asks that.]

...With so many people here using it, I figured I need to learn more about it. That way, at least I'll be ready for anything.

[Also she'll be able to tell if Terra's getting too attached to it..]

[justasmallworld.livejournal.com]

[A familiar face - if somewhat scaled down - is going to be peeping over the table now, all shyly.]

[babywaterfalls.livejournal.com]

[And another somewhat familiar face is peeking up overthe table right beside him.]

See Terra I told you there were grownup me's around here.

[justasmallworld.livejournal.com]

[He looks at the Aquas in turn...]

Yeah. It's ... kind of weird.

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Well that's, kinda strange for her to see. But she cant help but smile at them either.]

[justasmallworld.livejournal.com]

[Eheh. He smiles back, gives a little wave.]

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

[Waves back. ^^]

[justasmallworld.livejournal.com]

Hi! Um. Big Aqua.

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

Hi.

[It's so strange seeing a tiny Terra. And yet so cute. ^^]

[justasmallworld.livejournal.com]

[Smile.]

What're you- um - doing?

[pluvia-decido.livejournal.com]

Just a little research.

[Moves those darkness books out of Terras reach. The normal magic books are still there though.]

[justasmallworld.livejournal.com]

[Aow, but they looked interesting...]

It looks comp- com- hard.
