[action - genessia library]

[For the past week, Shi has been visiting the library daily. And he's not your typical library customer. He certainly comes in and browses books, like a normal person... But instead of reading them at a table, he has been checking them out. Almost normal. Until you count that he then goes and sits in the snow, a few yards away, until he's read what he wants. Then he returns the book and repeats the process.

To say the least, he probably looks cold and a bit stupid every day. Someone is too shy to use the library tables uninvited.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I'm sorry to bother you. I'd like to make the most of my life here, so I have a few questions.

First, uh. Does anyone here know anything about 'spirits?' Or, um... [He can be seen looking down at a piece of paper he's been taking notes on,] Chi? Aura... Souls? Maybe even 'magic?' I'm sorry. I don't even know what it's called back home, so I just picked similar words from the dictionary... I want to learn how to control it, maybe?

Oh. And second! Does anyone know where I can buy charms for good luck, or for warding off bad spirits? Things like keeping misfortune at bay... They sold them as keychains at a Shrine back home. Or something I could put on a door to keep me from--- I mean! Evil spirits! F-from entering. I want to buy some, just in case.

I'd appreciate the help. Thank you!

[On this day there's an unusual sight going into the library. Namely a five foot tall gecko-like monster, walking on two pairs of legs but there are also two extra pairs of arms sticking out of his long purple body. He looks a bit shifty as he glances around furtively then continues toward the book shelves.]

Hello again. I can use magic.

[Granted if he means the big, boom-boom elemental sort of magic and not general party tricks.]

I can probably help you.

[Suguha felt bad for this kid. It seemed like he was having trouble with everything, and dialing into her Leafa account, she went to text him.]

So far, you could probably look into that healers store, uh, I think it's in Feyren now? Mahora Fortune. Check there, I haven't been there but with a name like that, it might have something.

[For Shi, sights like this are a twisted kind of 'normal' back home. The most common form a spirit would take was your typical "monster under the bed," so Shi would often see spirits condemned to scary appearances.

So his assumption is that he's seen a spirit from home. Shi puts his own book choice back on the shelf and walks quietly after Randall.]

Excuse me... Are you a spirit?

Could you really? That would be a big help..!

Though, I still don't know if my 'power' is magic. It's hard to learn about back home...

Ms Leafa!

Oh, is there? I wonder if they would really have those kinds of charms... Fortune stores probably care about luck...

Are you settling okay? Did you find a computer?

I heard it's been here long before I have been.

So you might be able to find it. The owner is a guardian I think it's called? So she's probably up for it.

I'm settling in fine, but I need a job. I also need to make sure I can afford a computer later on.

That's good. Guardians should be strong enough that I can't accidentally hurt them.

Which place did you decide to live in? I can help you look for a job? I'm trying to find out too.

If I get some charms, it'll be better.

Accidentally hurt them? Are you accident prone?

I'm looking into something entry level. I don't have much experience in working outside of the house.

Good then, it should help.

[Charms for what though? Bad luck?]

Yeah, that's a way to put it.

But I'll beta Guardian is accident-proof. It should be fine.

I don't have much experience either. I hope I can find something that lets me pay rent here.

Well, having a good luck charm should help with that.

[Suguha highly doubted it, from what she read they were mortal people for the most part but she didn't type that out.]

I'm just working towards getting my schooling done. I might enroll here if it comes down to it, but I may decide to work at a restaurant.

There's a school here?

Do you know which city it is in?

[He's never been to school..!]

Attleton I think. Yes, Attleton Academy, and there's a university somewhere too.

I'll have to look into it some more.

Is Attleton where you want to live, Leafa?

I heard it's like a normal town over there, right?

I don't know if I want to live there to be honest. It's similar to my hometown, though the technology level in Nova City is more preferable but Nova is far more expensive to live in.

Attleton might wind up being my home for now.

Nova is really cool. I don't think I could afford it either, though... Maybe if a lot of us pitched in, but...

[He wants to make sure Ray is comfortable wherever they go.]

I saw a shrine in Genessia. I might see if I can help with that.

Yeah, and I've looked into Archways. That's a high price to pay for some home comforts. And it's not like I could get back anything important to me besides the house.

That would probably be a good idea. Check the employment boards.

I know about Aura.

Fayren might have some charms, but I would wait for things to thaw over. How have you been holding up?

I can certainly try to help at least.

I have a book of magic that dabbles in illusions. I can loan it to you, if you wish.

Really? I would appreciate learning more about it. I'm not sure if it's the same, but it would be a start.

[Fayren. He's been needing to head there for a while now.]

I'm okay. I found out human bodies can freeze solid, so I probably shouldn't be camping... I hope things in Fayren are okay. Those poor people...

Illusions...? That sounds like some really serious magic..!!!

I, uh. I don't even know the first thing about magic. I'm not even sure if being a 'Kami' means I can use it.

Yeah... It's sad to see so many of them exist.

It's a sign of how much people want a piece of home...

I don't have anything back home to look forward to. My only homes have burned down, or I got... 'kicked out.'

[Other words include: Abandoned, chased out, murdered.]

I mean I don't know a lot about it, and I'm not sure either. But maybe you'll find some stuff useful. [He doesn't look so confident in himself.]

You...didn't find out because you got frozen or anything, did you? [Jaune just kind of rolls his eyes like he's exhausted.] I'm sure they'll be fine.

Anything is better than what I know now... Which is nothing. I want to know if my power is anything like 'aura.' I want to control it.

[And like an idiot, he nods.] Yeah, I let my hands freeze. They wouldn't even move...! But don't worry! I'm, uh... not exactly human.

[If he's going to be asking for help with aura, Shi figures he needs to be honest.]

What kind of powers do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

[Now he just looks alarmed, voice cracking.] Why aren't you in a hosptial right now?!
