h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Avatar walks into the library and heads for the scholars' section, nodding to people as he passes.*

[Ecg]: "yes Ma'am..." Ecg says (not sullenly). *Pulls out one of the s and resumes reading it where he had left off.*

: Double post,-I know & I'll wait. Please
*Eal returns to the library*
[Ecg]: "Lady Shaylar,-you're right...I am an idiot. I don't seem to know the first thing when it comes to spellcasting. I was too embarassed to ask it earlier, but Uh... could you please show me how?"

When you have finished the books come to me and we'll see if you have learned anything

*Leaves*

[Ecg]: *Got it. This might be kinda tricky*
*Notices that Avatar and Eal are also there in the library*
~Eal, isn't he the one from earlier?~
[Eal]: ~I believe so...~
[Ecg]: "Hi, you're that mage from over at the arena who knows how to temporarily speed up time, right? Wish I could do that." *Indicates stack of books to be read.* "Huh. Anyways, if you ever need someone to like fix some of your armor or say if one of your weapons breaks,-my other skill is blacksmithing. Bye!" *Leaves library to go study the spell s in his room.*

*Avatar watches Ecg leave the library and then shrugs and goes back to studying.*

Avatar quickly tires of studying and decides to take a walk in the city.*

*walks in. Finds the healer section and takes down a book on herbal remadies and one on healer's magic. Goes to a table and sits down to read. Flicks through the remadies book and tries to concentrate.

Fails, and slams the book shut.*

Ugh, I hate studying!

*returns the book to it's shelf, and wanders over to the fiction section.

Leaves carrying two books.*

*Thurinstands and sidles over to the necromancy sectionand starts searching through the shelves muttering to himself*

[Thurin] Where are you, you've got to be here somewhere, they'd never have gotten rid of you

[Ecg]: *nose buried in the beginning Elementalism book about Fire... he barely notices that he has wandered too far into library and trips over a stack of large,-rugged looking tomes (leather-bound & clasped; "The whole shooting-match") *mutters* "Oops Aah." *trips w/ a bit of a * (Whispers): "...Oh, hello Lord Thurin... I'm trying to not yell in the library!" *A whole shelf-full of s rains down upon Ecg's head as trhough in reply* "igh." The one on top of the pile he is buried in (up to his eyeballs nearly) appears to be a very particular ...

"I'm guessing this probably means I'm going to be in a whole lot...of even more troble with Lady Shaylar then,-Yes?" Ecg says weakly from beneath the large stack/pile of fallen magic books.

Ecg: , Good Sir? there would appear to be some sort of a Necromicon on my head (Also, ,-a little help please?). *feels a bit woozy* <-It seems to be a rather heavy as well.

*Thurin looks at the cover of the top book*

[Thurin] Ah Ah, Thorstons basic necromancy? Really?

*Thurin pics up the book and shakes it violently*

[Thurin] A bit out of your league aren't you? Thorstons should be much closer to the door than this so who are you really?

*Thurin smack the book on the shelves and continues to shake it. Eventually the cover transforms into something resembling leather and the title swirls about for a while before becoming "The Book of The Lore"

[Thurin] Found you. You should have gone for a less obvious disguise.

*thurin starts to reshelve the other books*

[Thurin] Well let's just get these books re shelved and we won't tell anyone... are you a necromancy student? or one of Shaylar's elementalist students?

<, Last post before some sort of a response...I promise!>
Ecg: "Um,------Help?" *Can't manage to physically extract self out of the large pile/stack of fallen books.* "There are too many of them," "...And it would appear that I am stuck." *sulks beneath the pile of s*

"Yes, a might terrible apprentice you might say, one of Lady Shaylar's. I don't even know how to cast spells proper neither..." *dusts self off, then stares in awe at the transformable book*

*Helps to stick the shelf back into the enormously huge bookcase*
"Um, yeah. So that's pretty much it in a nutshell. I'm probably going to be in trouble sooner or later anyway. Went and fought practice mages higher than myself and (came out of it , but that's not the point)...instead of just sitting in a study and reading all the assigned books straight through." *places head down.*

*Thurin smiles and reshelves the last of the books, keeping the book of the lore to one side*

[Thurin] Hah, knowing your limitations is very important. I see you're interested in this book. Would you like to know what it is and why it's probably the most important book in the whole library?

"..., I mean-Er,-a Yessir! (I think)" *Notices his two approx. 18-inch longdaggers sitting in the revealed part of the pile.* "And you found my two extremely-short swords too. Why thank you."

*Thurin smirks*

[Thurin] yes it's best to be armed in a place like this, but unless those blades can hurt magical creatures, demons, dragons and the like, then they wouldn't be much defence against some of the more powerful books.

*Thurin looks around*

[Thurin] Right, come and sit over here and I'll show you just what we've got here

*Thurin makes his way to a table nearish the door and sits down*

[Ecg Unagi]: "I may be...-well, people tend to write me off as this dim-witted-samurai,-but you're one of those really high level necromancers,-Aren't you?" *clips the two longdaggers back to his belt and prepares to listen =Thoughtful/reflective...<, I mean> quietly.* <>
