The Library Fiasco

[Anya]

Anya stared in amazement at the many bookshelves that lined the walls of the Library. Never before had she seen a collection of books this vast. Of course, it didn’t matter how many books there were, as long as they had that certain one. Not long before, the weapon lost her copy of I, Strahd. Without it, it felt like part of her was missing. Some other students had told her that Shibusen’s library held an incredible amount of books, so if she was to look for another copy of it anywhere, that was the place to go.

Anya felt overwhelmed. It could take hours to find what she was looking for. [red]“Maybe if I could get some help…”[/red] she murmured to herself, scanning the room. Unfortunately, she was the only one around. Sighing, she thought, I’m not going to get anywhere just sitting around! Let’s start searching!

After half an hour of looking, with no luck whatsoever, the blonde was about to give up. She began walking towards the door when a flash of red caught her eye. [red]“Could it be…?”[/red] She ran over to the self where a book with a red cover sat tightly between two other books. [red]“It is!”[/red] she shouted happily. She tried to pull it out but for some reason couldn’t.

[red]“Of course. The moment I find it, I find out it’s stuck. I’m not going to let this all go in vain!”[/red] she declared, attempting once more to get it out with the same result as before. [red]“Come on stupid book! Work with me!”[/red] She yanked at it multiple times before it finally came out. [red]“Yes!”[/red] It was only then that an avalanche of book fell on top of her. To make matters worse, the book fell out of her hand and slid across the floor away from her. Threw the hill of books, her call for help could barely be heard. [red]“Someone?! Anyone?! Help me out here! Urg… Today is not my day…”[/red]

[Abby]

Abby quietly opened the door to the library. {It'll be nice to get some peace and quiet. I have a new book that I just can't wait to read!} She settled down at a table in the corner, behind some shelves. It was secluded, perfect for getting in some quality reading time. {Thank goodness, I can read in here with no distractions whatsoever.}

She had just settled down to read when she heard a huge CRASH! She jumped and lost her place. {Darn it! I'd better go see what that was.} She put a bookmark near where her place was and walked over to the source of the sound.

Looking down, she saw a book with a red cover on the floor, which she picked up. {Careless, leaving books around. I'll put it back.} She turned a corner and saw the enormous pile of books. {Oh great. Some idiot was probably horsing around and knocked all these books off the shelf. And then ran away and left it for someone else to clean up! Jeez, people are such jerks sometimes.} She sighed and started putting the books back on the shelves. A couple of books down, she started hearing muffled cries for help. "Oh no! Are you buried in there? Don't worry, I'll get you out!" She frantically started shoving books off the pile. As soon as she unearthed a hand, she grabbed it. "I'm gonna pull you out, okay?" She braced her feet and started pulling with all her might. The books gave way, and she fell flat on her back. "Ah!" She spotted the student she had pulled out. "Oh, are you okay?"

[Anya]

[red]“Help! Please? Anyone?”[/red] Anya yelled, hoping someone would actually hear her. A voice in the back of her mind said, Give up. No one’s going to hear you and no one’s going to help you. She really hoped the voice wasn’t right. If so, she could be stuck in this really uncomfortable position all day!

Then, she heard a voice and not long after, some books were lifted away from around her arm. Suddenly, a sharp pain sped through her arm as someone tried to yank her out. Trying to keep from yelping in pain, she felt the books around her fall away as she was lifted from the pile.

[red]“Thank you so much!”[/red] she said, grabbing the copy of I, Strahd. [red]“You don’t know how much this means to me!”[/red] She looked up to see who had saved her- a blonde haired girl. Anya held out her hand. [red]“My name’s Anya. Anya Valkyrie. And yours?”[/red]

[Abby]

Abby brushed her clothes off. "I'm Abby Callahan, a weapon." She shook Anya's hand. "It's great to meet you. My meister and I are new to Death City, so I don't know many people." She started putting the books in the pile back on the shelf.

"You must really love that book. What book is it? And how exactly did you wind up under that huge pile?"
(OOC: Sorry for the tiny post but I couldn't think of anything else to put! TT-TT)

[Anya]

"Nice to meet you, too!" Anya smiled, but she couldn't help but feel embaraced. Last time I'm ever coming here, she thought. "You're new here? Well, that makes three of us! I still don't know my way around here still..."Anya began stacking the hard covered books back on the shelf, silently cursing at them. "This book is called I, Strahd," she explained. "It's the most amazing vampire book of all time! Unlike those sorry exuses for books like the other vampire stories out there. I lost my copy this morning and I had no idea what I would do without it. I never go anywhere without a copy!"

The weapon felt her face turn red. There she went, running her mouth again. Embaraced once more, she would've banged her head against the shelf if it weren't for the fact that she would run the risk of causing the books to collapse once more.

Soon, the books were put back in their proper places. "Thanks again," she said, racing away to a nearby table. In an instant she was wrapped up in her book, and the sounds of everything else in the room were cut off from her mind.
