Adsum! 2/5

[ladiesss]

[Krista liked the Vanity Moon more than the other two, but the people still made her kind of uncomfortable... all of that fancy style, the parading around, the... looking down their nose at people, and judging, and... well, her compulsions have been making shopping kind of problematic.

but forget all of that. she's found a book store.]

Aaah, this is great!

[she can't talk above a whisper, but you can still find her giggling away at the shelves, pulling down book after book... she wants this one, and this one, and this one...!]

Fiction, fiction... Oh, "History of the Galactic Red Zone..." And this one...

[it's clearly taking all of her self-restraint not to just press her face into the pages. the pile of books in her arms is getting heavy, stacked almost up to her chin. someone... maybe help her, before she spots the encyclopedia section...]

[amarant]

[ She has a sizable pile as well... oh no, what if they reach for the same book at the same time... ]

[ladiesss]

[oh no they're reaching for the same book at the same time and--b-bump hands!]

Oh! Oh, sorry!

[amarant]

[ KYAAAA////////// ]

N-no, it's fine. You can have this one, I probably have enough...

[ All her drama probably does wonders for her ratings, but it's probably best if she doesn't spend all her credits on books. ]

[ladiesss]

[oh god what a small person... Krista just wobbles backwards with her pile of books.]

N-No, I don't even know what book it is. It might be really boring! Not that you read boring books, or anything. I, um.

[yeah. guess who has the social grace of a pile of socks.]

[detectivewonder]

[He can't stop her before then, because Tim is in the encyclopedia section, speed-skimming as many different books as he can keep track of and cross-reference at a rime (which is about half a dozen). But when an ambulatory stack of books walks by and almost jostles his elbow, he will make a startled noise and look up.]

[ladiesss]

[she also makes a startled noise and looks down, which causes the pile of books to sliiiide forward... Tim is very suddenly in danger of having a pile of books dropped on his head.]

[detectivewonder]

[Not happening! He'll move quickly to stand opposite her,so even if the books do fall, it's only into his arms. Ninja reflexes.]

[ladiesss]

O-Oh!

[she stands there, surprised as her books do not go clattering all over the place.]

Wow, you caught them...

[s-she'll try not to look too mortified as she gathers the salvageable half of her pile back up in her arms.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka has totally been shopping with her, because like hell he'd miss out on a shopping trip. He's currently being a gentleman and carrying all the stuff she abandoned in favour of the written word, but he's happily looking through them all, too. Good thing he's on an energy high.

BOOKS. GLORIOUS, WONDERFUL BOOKS.]

Oh man, we hit the jackpot!!!! Look at all the books, Krista!!! LOOK AT THEM!!!

[ladiesss]

[THANK YOU GENTLEMAN. but all the same, she doesn't want to get in trouble so she quickly scuttles back over with her tremendous pile of books and shushes him.]

Sokka! I know you're excited, but be excited quietly!

[like her! you know, the person who can't yell.]

[alwayscomeback]

But there are so many books!!!

[There is no shushing him. He is unshushable. ]

Maybe they have maps!!! I could finally get some headway into getting us outta here!

[ladiesss]

Make headway quietly! [good god there is no stopping him. she and her pile of books wobble unsteadily to the side while she compulsively brings a hand up to cover his mouth.]

[mortalcoil]

[these compulsions are a hell of a thing, aren't they?

Coil has barely enough time to glance toward the wandering tower of books and realize that he recognizes the face attached to it, before he also notices a particularly old and beautiful tome in the lower half of said stack.

under any normal circumstances, he would have just noticed the thing and moved on with his life. today, however... he can't help himself.

he just kind of watches in horror as his own hand darts out to yank on the book he wants.]

[ladiesss]

Wait--

[oh noooo but she can barely say anything before that book is yanked out of the bottom of the stack and all of the books on top of it go flapping cover-over-spine onto the floor. it makes a huge noise. they are probably being stared at.]

[mortalcoil]

[he sighs--almost hisses--through his teeth, as all of those books suffer a fate they really didn't deserve.

whatever, forget the store owner who is probably now very irate. forget the girl whose shopping he just interrupted. he looks so annoyed and immediately crouches down to start picking up the books, as if he wasn't the one who caused the trouble in the first place.]

[wilder]

[Kaneis recognizes her! He approaches, with some books under his own arms]

Whoa, careful- don't get yourself buried in all those.

[ladiesss]

[she wobbles in surprise--] But I could die surrounded by what I love! Knowledge...

[she clears her throat. a completely useless gesture. soft-spoken as always:] By which I think I meant "hi".

[wilder]

Sure, but you can't absorb the knowledge if you're a corpse, you know.

[He gives a snort of amusement] Hi Krista. Find some good reads?

[serpentis]

[Dorian is leafing through the books, taking ones that seem curious, that discuss something like magic, that he hasn't quite figured out yet. But he'll read them, all the same.

So with his strong nose firmly buried in a book, he takes a step back and bumps into someone. He makes a startled sound, and says something in a language that sounds like Latin before he gets his bearings.]

A-ah, forgive me, I was a bit distracted. I don't normally go trampling strangers.

[ladiesss]

[she also makes a little noise, swinging around with her pile of books--which she has to quickly bring another arm up to balance, otherwise the ones at the top would have gone sliding.]

Oh, that's okay. I'm kind of, um, trample-able.

[she... starts compulsively peering at whatever book he's got in his hand, making out the title... and might already have a couple of books on magic and magical creatures in her stack...]

Hey, what is that one?

[serpentis]

[Dorian looks at her stack, curiously, smiling a bit, intrigued.]

"Practical Applications of Illusionary Magic". Not the most exciting read, but better than nothing.

[He holds the book like it was something precious, something that was familiar. He spent all of his time in Skyhold reading books. Growing up, books were constant companions.]

Dorian Pavus. And you are...?

[faithfulwisdom]

[Finrod has quite a stack of books of his own- not as large as Krista's, but then no one has a stack of book as large as Krista's.]

Do you need some help with those? [Before you run into something...]

[ladiesss]

[o-oh goodness, she's been noticed.]

Huh? Oh, no. I'm fine...

[she says, as her pile of books wobbles unsteadily in her arms.]

[faithfulwisdom]

[And he'll just put up a hand to steady that stack of books.] Are you certain? It's no trouble.
