Fifth Miracle

[beamiracle]

[It's the weekend, and there's no school. And since Lion's a teacher and he's already finished marking assignments, there really isn't anything to do. More specifically, there isn't anything around the house to read. So what does that mean? A trip to the library!

A. If anyone's in the library today, chances are they'll see Lion perusing the shelves. And it looks like Lion's already caught on to the fact that since Mayfield classifies him as a man, the only books available to Lion will be books about car repair. Lion's starting to look a little frustrated by this.]

Is there really nothing else here at all...?

[B. Eventually Lion gives in and figures that books on car repair are better than nothing, so he's taken some out...perhaps a bit more than Lion can carry. You may see Lion on the way home, carrying a somewhat precariously stacked amount of books. Lion's trying to be careful by walking very slowly, but still...]

Greetings, Lion-san--- ah, would you perhaps require help?

Ah, hello, Japan-san...no, I think I'll be [eek a book is falling so Lion will quickly catch it] fine...

[Yes, Lion would like some help, being he's just being overly polite.]

[ as a fellow Overly Polite Japanese Person, Japan can see the subtext as plainly as.... um, something very plain. In other words, he can tell that you would indeed. BUT HOW TO APPROACH IT... ]

Lion-san appears to be having some difficulty. Are you quite certain? [ walks over a bit closer. you know, just in case... ]

_{( preoccupied about something, Jason probably won't notice Lion until they're about to crash. can Lion dodge him? )}

[Lion can try, but there won't be much success. Lion will probably bump into him as they pass each other, causing him to spill some books.] Aah...!

[Hey there fellow teacher! Skinny McTallguy here will snatch some of the books off the top of the pile before you run into that telephone pole.]

Head's up, man!

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Aah...thank you very much...

A!

[How is little Maria contently reading at a table? She brought her own Grimoire, because the adventures of Dick and Jane are boring and don't have any riddles. But she walks up to Lion because he looks frustrated, though... she doesn't recognise him as him. Silly person who looks vaguely like Jessica, what are you doing in a library looking so upset?]

Uu-? Only have books about Dick and Jane too?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Hm? [Looks down to see Maria.] Oh, Maria-chan. No, it seems that all of these books are about car repair...

[ Catching Lion carrying a huge stack of books on car repair was something that Will considered to be Very Bizarre. Even if it's all the library offered, it's not as though Lion had to read them. Kid was probably just desperate to read... which was annoyingly very much like Lion indeed.

Of course, Lion could be an idiot sometimes, too. That was way too many books for a slender kid like Lion to handle, so Will grabs about half the stack before Lion crashes straight into some old lady. ]

You trying to knock over half the town, Lion?

[asdkfl nooo the books are falling

Oh wait, it's Will. Whew.]

Oh, Will...thank you. I didn't take out that many, did I? It's just that I wanted something to read, so...

B!

[[Aaron comes over to help, waving.]]

Hello, want some help carrying those?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh no, I'm perfectly fi--aaah!

[Barely manages to rescue a falling book. Don't listen to Lion, Aaron, he's just an overly polite Japanese person.]

-Patchy's on her porch, reading and drinking tea, when she sees Lion walking by. And she just can't help but stare...

Something about that boy... or girl, she wasn't certain, seemed exceptionally familiar.-

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[Lion can sense someone staring, and turns to see Patchouli. But he assumes that she's staring because of the huge amount of books that's threatening to topple over any minute. So Lion gives her a polite nod, though with a slightly embarrassed smile.]

Ah, good afternoon...

B

[naicha]

Ah, it's a book monster. Hello!

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope not. Hello, Taiwan-san.

[A yelp as Lion quickly rescues a falling book.]

[Pokes his head out from around a corner.]

Lion!

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[That voice sounds familiar.] Sakutaro, is that you?

B

[peonymarket.livejournal.com]

...Needing help?

[FROM RIGHT BEHIND HER

he walks very, very slow all the time, okay]

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Oh, China-san...

[asdfkl trying to rescue all the books] I think some help would be appreciated, yes...

[pokes his head over a mechanic's handbook] S-Sorry, but yeah. The library here isn't exactly well-stocked...

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[Huffs.] I thought not. So much for finding something to read...

[goldensymphony.livejournal.com]

Lion, looks like you need help there. Do you mind if I give you a hand?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Oh, Battler...no, I'm sure I'll be--aaah! [And Lion almost drops some books. Don't listen to Lion, Battler, he's just being overly polite as usual.]
