Li-Na Yiu 8/18 near Recollé Public Library

Hello! Mr. Baren asked for some help researching various topics, so I am going to go to the library. I need help though, because I am not from Recolle. Things we need to look up: • information on Recolle's founders • how much of history has been rewritten • riddles? So if anyone wants to help out, meet me at the library. And for anyone who was assigned tasks, if you need some basic first aid, I will have a kit with me. I can also make deliveries if you need food or supplies.

[ooc: feel free to jump to action posting, I'm not going to post a separate log]

riddles...? why riddles?

[invocate]

Mr. Baren said that some people had run into puzzles and riddles.

[browbeater]

yeah, i heard that... but is there any suggestion they were significant, and not something to slow us down?

[storytelleroftime]

Oh! We ran into ghosts of the founders at our dungeon too, so I can pull out info from there that no one else has. I'll explain it more when we get there. Best not to give away too much.

[invocate]

That will be very helpful! Thank you!

[storytelleroftime]

No problem. I have as much to gain from all of this information trading that everyone else does. So essentially, this also benefits me too.

[abovethefold]

I'll be there. I can't help but feel like I should be doing something to help...

Please, if you need anything at all, let us know.

[invocate]

I feel the same way. I am of little use fighting monsters in the street, but this I can try to help with.

[abovethefold]

You aren't the only one. I prefer to do my fighting via words, not with weaponry.

You said to meet at the library? I'll be there as soon as I can.

[toobigtohandle]

Not sure how helpful I can be since I am not from Recolle either, but I can try.

[invocate]

The more eyes we have looking, the more information we will find. One way or another.

[toobigtohandle]

You're not likely to find any of that information at the Library, though.

[negativism]

I'm not a native either, but I can look things up in my downtime.
Though the more we find out about the situation, the more my offhand joke from before seems to actually kind of hold some truth to it apparently.

[invocate]

I will appreciate any help you can give.

What sort of joke was it?

[negativism]

About how this whole situation's starting to sound more and more like a questline from a video game. Puzzles, people getting powers, that whole thing.

[seeker]

i'll be there. i want to help out too.
what sort of riddles?

[invocate]

Thank you!

I do not know specifically. But someone from a team that got riddles is coming, so we can ask her. But I think it will be more of an 'as needed' task.

[seeker]

you're welcome.
well, if riddles don't work, i'm happy to help with the research. i'm a native,
and i'm no stranger to spending way too much time in libraries. do you need us to bring anything?

[admiringly]

li-na!! you're amazing!!
i wish i had more time to go the library but i'll try to fit a visit in this week!
lmk if you need anything too and i'll pick it up on my back home!

p.s. do you like cheesecake?

i think at this point li-na would know about chiyo's sun powers and such, yes?

[invocate]

Actually, I love cheesecake <3

And same! If your team needs anything, we are very close by.

yes! chiyo wouldn't hide them

[admiringly]

yay!!!
i knew you were the best host sister with the best taste!!
i'll be bringing some home once i'm done at the university
i kind of feel like i need it

action!

[Baren doesn't actually respond - once week 2's wrapped up and he sees the post, he makes a trip to the library in person. At least by now he's cleaned up and rested... temporarily, before he goes back to work again, but that's still gotta count for something. He grins when he sees Li-na, giving her a wave.]

That's Miss Li-na, yes?

[if she'll keep up the mr. baren nonsense....]

Re: action!

[invocate]

[Look, he's clearly older than her. She has to be polite. Hearing her name, Li-Na looks up and returns Baren's wave when she spots him.]

Mr. Baren, hello!

[rebellions]

do you deliver tentama udon

[#important

No, he's not serious. Unless she can actually provide that, because he wouldn't say no to his favorite food after all that bullshit.]

[invocate]

I do not know what that is, but if you know where I can get it, I would be happy to deliver it.
