Excuse me, but, does anyone have any books? School books, specifically; just because I'm stuck here doesn't mean I'm going to stop learning. It's what my parents would've wanted It's better than sitting around bored...


Thank you,

S. Birkin

I was at a medical conference; they handed out some preview copies of some medical textbooks. Do you want those?

I don't care if they're too hard for you now, you might have use for them eventually.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Really? Thank you, sir!

Even if they're too hard, maybe I'll get ahead of my studies and understand them.

Managed to find a good number of academic journals! If you wanna learn more about science, I'm sure one of us'd be happy to help!

Name's MacGyver, by the way. Nice to meet'cha, little lady.

I'd like that a lot! I considered also learning more useful things... but... I'm really not old enough to do anything but worry people.

[thescienceguy.livejournal.com]

... Did somebody say... science?

[Voice]

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Um, sort of? What about science?

Re: [Voice]

[thescienceguy.livejournal.com]

If science's something you're interested in learning, then you won't find anybody more excited than me about teaching it!

[Voice]

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

You mean it? Oh! Thank you!

Hey, my pleasure!

Anything in particular you're interested in? Astronomy, Physics, Biology? I mean, they're all pretty great if you ask me, but it's good to have a starting place.

[Voice]

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Umm... we were learning about... Biology when zombies showed up in my town, so I guess that's a good place to continue!

I have some remains of a expansize personal collection on Pharaohs, Alexander, and the Classical era. The city should also have several libraries that are still somewhat held together, should you ever be interested.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

The libraries? I woke up next to one, but, my protectors don't like me going anywhere by myself. Is the New York Public library still okay?

[work-sin-theory.livejournal.com]

Likely, if the structure is still stable and not overrun with parasites. Although even still, it would be unwise for a person of any age to adventure alone.

Your protectors?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

I'll have to ask then.


Well, I'm 12. They don't like it if I go off by myself.

[work-sin-theory.livejournal.com]

Would your protectors object to you venturing to the library with the aid of a superhero...?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

...I think I've seen this after school special, and I'm supposed to say no.

[work-sin-theory.livejournal.com]

You're certainly a bright child, although I'm hardly a cartoon character. One of my personal responsibilities is the protection and aid of the youth.

...who do your protectors happen to be?

[gimpy-addict.livejournal.com]

Protection and aid, riiiiiight.

If you dress up like that all the time, I wouldn't let ANYONE near you, let alone children.

Unless you were in a mental hospital, I suppose.

[work-sin-theory.livejournal.com]

((O ITS ON BETCH))

I marvel to know how you can assume as to the contents of my wardrobe from there. Unfortunately for men such as yourself, most of the mental hospitals inhabitants seem to already been consumed by our monstress host.

And my 'protection and aid' was the foundation of a multi-national corporation that produced virtually any household luxury you can think of, and held influence over the face of pop culture. Try again.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

...You mean Umbrella Corporation?

[work-sin-theory.livejournal.com]

Veidt Enterprises, actually.

I see my King piece is not the only on the board.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Superheroes only exist in comic books and TV.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to say so; I don't want a certain person to throw my computer out a window.

[work-sin-theory.livejournal.com]

The definition of a superhero is limited somewhat by the parameters of one's own imagination. People in this city considered me one, at a time when there was a bit more of a population.

I presumed to ask regading protectors so that I could identify a person to lend some of my history books to.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

I'll have to ask them if it's okay. I'm really sorry, Sir, but, I'll let you know as soon as I do if it's okay.

[letmelive]

....Wait. Who's threatening to throw your computer out a window?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

...Billy.

[letmelive]

Oh he is in so much trouble.

[letmelive]

Sherry, if you want to go to the library, I can take you.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

You mean it? I didn't want to bother you, because you seemed kind of busy.

[letmelive]

I've always got time for you, sweetie.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

I want to go soon! Can we please go soon?

[letmelive]

Of course. How about tomorrow morning?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Would mythology count? I'm...sort of a fan.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

I don't see why it wouldn't, those were my favorite books.

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? In that case, I'd be happy to lend some to you.

I'm Kashima Naoki. Pleased to meet you.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Really? I'd like that a lot!

My name is Sherry Birkin, nice to meet you, too!

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

It's good to meet you, Sherry. Where can we meet?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

I'm not allowed to say where I live, so let me ask Claire first, okay?

[demonborntwice.livejournal.com]

Of course. Please, take your time.
