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...]

Nice ta meet ya. Business, huh? 'S it as borin' as calculus?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Well, I was raised to be the successor to the head of my family, so I grew up learning how to do good business. So it's not so boring to me.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Sounds like we're in similar situations. But I dunno if mine'll ever put me in charge, but they sure like to gimme all the work.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Oh, is that so?

Why won't they put you in charge, even though they make you work?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Cuz my grandpa's still around. Let's just say, where I'm from, my type can be awfully long-lived. He's probably not goin' anywhere anytime soon.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Well, mine's still around, too. But his health has been failing lately, and I'm set to take over when I turn twenty.

Of course, I'm not sure if it'll happen that soon if I have to stay here...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

True, man. We got no idea how much time is passin' back home, right? If any. 'S okay, I'm not really in a rush to be in charge of anythin', personally.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Well, considering what goes on here, I think something like that may be the least of our worries...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I guess, but honestly I'll use whatever I can to not think about bein' here, ya know?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Yes, I see what you mean.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I've already been here for almost 4 months. I'm startin' to wonder if there ever will be a way outta here. I mean, the people I've met here are cool 'n' all, but I really just wanna get the hell outta here already. Not like I'm the only one, though.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Yes, this isn't the ideal place to be, even though they try to convince us that it is. I'd like to get out of here as well. If only we had some leads...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seems like no one has too many, huh? Man, I don't even know where to start. Too much about this place don't make sense.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

That's true enough. Though at least we have some information, and that's better than nothing.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I guess we got a little? I've only heard bits 'n' pieces of stuff.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's not much, but it's something.
