[Neptune is obviously in the library, nestled in a corner with a few piles of books.]

I sure just realized I haven't talked to anyone in... Awhile. I've just been going to the library to work, and then spending all my free time reading. I decided to adopt the strategy of reading everything here which might have been a mistake. I couldn't figure out where to start looking for information, so I've been doing this.

...But I think it's time for a break, because my brain feels like it's going to explode. Well, after I put all these books away so I don't get yelled at.

Anyone got anything fun going on?

[You are this close to getting your name changed from Neptune to Nerdtune.]

Careful you don't get crushed by all of that boring that you have sitting beside you.

[broceanking]

[WOW RUDE.]

I think I'm okay, considering I don't see anything boring here.

[monkeystowaway]

[Hey, this is the risk he runs for being so into books.]

All of that text must have made you blind then, because there are piles of it next to you. And around you on the shelves.

Basically you are like, in the eye of a huge storm of boring.

[She sees his post on her feed and leans back in her chair with a side, glancing over at him since they work in the same place.]

If you're tired or bored, I can cover your shift without worry.

I don't think you'll get yelled at for needing a breather.

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

I'm not even working today. I'm just here to read. I just don't want to get yelled at for making everyone else have to clean up after me.

[And distract himself. But he won't talk about that.]

Action;

[deadly_belladonna]

[As a fellow book nerd, she reads the signs. Hah get it, reads.]

Sounds like you're trying to become immersed in something.

I can't help but do the same sometimes.

[broceanking]

[Hey, don't make fun of him just because you can't sit still long enough to enjoy a good book.]

I'm pretty sure the books have accepted me as one of their own at this point. You, on the other hand... They might try to crush you to death if you came here.

Action;

[broceanking]

[BOOOOOOO]

Naaaaaah. Why would I do that? I'm just trying to find a way out of here.

Action;

[deadly_belladonna]

Because it's rather boring here? Missions for cash seem hardly worth it now a days... There seems to be no purpose.

[Holds up her book.] Thankfully there's these around.

Action;

[broceanking]

It is pretty boring here. Especially since life had gotten way more action-packed when we met you guys.

But I agree. Books are a great escape.

Action;

[deadly_belladonna]

Well- we did try to say that you didn't need to come with. But at least that noodle shop was nearby and safe from danger huh?

[Sets her book down while looking around the library.] And so many doors to escape through here, it seems.

[monkeystowaway]

[Yeah, he's too busy moving about and having his own exciting adventures.]

Keep this up, and they might elect you their king. And psh, I'm not afraid of some dusty old books. My reflexes are great, I'd dodge them.

[broceanking]

I'm okay with that. There are worse things to be king of. You should be. They'll kill you with a million papercuts.

Action;

[broceanking]

I'm never going to live that down... I regret listening to Sun.

There are indeed. [He stands up and stretches.] I really do need to find something else to do for a bit, though. I see pages upon pages of text, even when I close my eyes.

Action;

[deadly_belladonna]

Never. I'm still rather surprised you were able to stay up on that ledge.

Well, there's always the sights of the other worlds to check out. Tokyo might be your sort of spot.

Lots of lights, machines, food.

[monkeystowaway]

They can try, but it would take more than a million papercuts to defeat me. I'll have them running when I start doodling in their margins and bending their pages.

[broceanking]

You monster. How can you even talk about doing that to a book?

[monkeystowaway]

Because I'm Sun Wukong, defiler of books! Nothing can stop me.

Action;

[broceanking]

Believe me, standing on that ledge was the easy part.

That sounds like a good idea. I should find someone to go with me...

Action;

[deadly_belladonna]

Looking at how busy we are-- [She shuts her book and stands up, tucking her chair back in to place.] I guess I'll have to accompany you.

Unless you object?

[broceanking]

[He just laughs and shakes his head.]

What're you up to, bro?

Action;

[broceanking]

That's perfectly okay with me. Especially since you actually know where it is.

Action;

[deadly_belladonna]

Well, Sun knows it better than me. I've only been there once.

But, if we get lost I'm sure we'll find a way back. [Motions for him to follow her since the library is always open but only seems to house the two of them.]

Action;

[broceanking]

That's one more time than I've been there.

I'm sure we will. Or we can just call someone to come find us. [He tags along behind her.]

[monkeystowaway]

About to grab something to eat. I was thinking about picking something up for you and Blake too if neither of you have eaten.
