Summary: Vincent is adapting to his new part-time job in the library. Come bother him, or be scared by his sudden appearance in the quiet. Also another session of Story-time, with Ophelia inviting some others now...
Warning: Potentially grumpy gunslingers?


Working in the Library

It wasn't hard work, so far. Organizing books and putting them away, and occasionally answering a question. Vincent found he kind of enjoyed the routine of it, as it required enough of his focus to not be mind-numbing, but not so much that it was taxing or a strain. It was almost zen, in terms of the calm he found. His height was an advantage in moving things around on the taller shelves, too.

He'd adapted well, aside from at least one complication so far. The flutter of wings coming around a corner as he was re-shelving, and a small voice "Excuse me kupo I was wondering if you could EEEEEEKUPO!!!" The younger moogle who'd come around the corner, obviously had gotten a look at him now. Dressed in black, even with his long-hair pulled back in a loose tail, Vincent's silhouette was still striking and creepy. His gauntlet at home( even if he felt the loss) so that his entire left arm was in black due to a glove over the ruined-arm, didn't help.

The poor little moogle, bearing a bag and a set of glasses and a bow around her pompom was shaking where she fluttered. Vincent sighed, and was careful to move slowly and as he looked at her. "What were you looking for?" Summoning up her courage, the moogle stuttered noiselessly before managing to get out her question. "His..hishistorical biographies of the first researchers kupo!" Wringing her hands, holding up her bag as if it were a shield almost.

"Down the hall past 3 stacks to non-fiction and biographies, it's next to the door."

The moogle bobbed a quick thanks and bow, and was off fast.

This type of encounter was becoming disturbingly commonplace.




Story time with guests

Ophelia was hoping Vincent wouldn't be too mad. She'd made sure to get his promise to resume his reading to her, and she'd grabbed her book about sea-legends and folk-stories. She'd also sent letters to Mogdelina and Annie, inviting them along. (Provided they didn't tease or make fun of Vincent, and respected his privacy by not sharing with their heroes.) Yuffie of course, was also informed.

The little moogle was humming happily to herself as she made tea, waiting for Vincent to get home from his part-time job, as she'd set things up so far. Making it easy for him, as she considered the debt paid and repaid. Not that she'd let him know it, just yet.

[D studied the man, noting the similarities and coming to understand why Cloud mistook him at first. He nodded when the man dressed in black answered his question.]

I have already visited Miss Zelda on several occasions. I am a Hero of Light.

[Again, D looked the man up and down. He was a tad taller but barely noticeable, especially if you were a shorter individual. D imagined that after a while, a person world just be considered tall to a shorter person regardless of the actually difference in height.

This man's hair was long and black like good own but his skin was not so pale and his eyes retained their crimson colour. Unlike D's that only flashed crimson when his emotion was more heated.]


I can see why Cloud mistook me for you during the party. I am called D.

[He did not extend his hand however and good voice retained its cold, almost apathetic tone masking any feelings he might have.]

Any means of knowledge is a help in a foreign world.

[As D followed the man who looked very much like him, the vampire took great care to memorize all the other sections of the library they passed. Just in case he might find use for them later. The man before him, Vincent, walked quietly and rigid but not as quiet as D, given his current profession. Still, the vampire could see some similarities that might confused others. Those, however, did not detract how different they truly were.]
