Rating: PG-13



[Sam shouldn't be doing this. He feels bad that Spike had to do this all by himself, but his curiosity is getting the better of him.

He makes his way into the fiction section, his fingers trailing along until he found a book that looked interesting. His fingers stopped on Moby Dick -- he had to read it for tenth grade English and hadn't touched it since -- and he considered it for all of a minute, before pulling it off the shelf.

He balanced the weight of the book his hands, then flipped about halfway through. As he did, he got a spray of saltwater to the face, like a wave coming up the side of a boat.

He laughed as he slammed the boat closed, feeling the water run down his temples. He shook his head a bit, the water flicking off out of his hair. Then he goes to find another book.


.... He's really sorry, Spike.]

[Rick enters the library and wanders around mostly aimlessly until he hears something strange a few rows over.

Investigate? You better bet he does.

So here you go Sam, have a deputy who is fairly amused and pretty confused about what you're doing.]

[imnot_likeyou]

[he pushes his hair back from his forehead, before he notices Rick and flashes him a smile. Then he tosses him the book.]

Moby Dick.

[theleader]

[This guy's gonna open it. And get a face full of water. He promptly closes it and chuckles.]

Well, I'll be damned.

[imnot_likeyou]

[Sam smirks before trailing his fingers along the side of the spines again, looking for his next book]

[theleader]

[Rick sets that book down and moves along behind Sam, waiting to see what the next book offers.]

[imnot_likeyou]

[The makes his way down the shelf, pointedly skips Paradise Lost -- he already lived it -- and settles on a collection of Poe.]

Should I risk it?

[bonniewitch]

[Bonnie was searching through the shelves her Litwick walking along beside her. She still hadn't decided on a name for her pokemon and she was hoping that looking through books would be a good source of inspiration.

A laugh caught her attention and she stopped, calling out.]

Uh, hello?

[imnot_likeyou]

[he recognizes the voice, which is the only reason why he stops. His wet head gets poked around the corner and he grins]

Hey, Bonnie.

[bonniewitch]

[Thankfully it was someone she knew..although it doesn't explain why his head was all wet. Bonnie gives him a smile and her Litwick looks at him curiously.]

Hey, Sam. What happened to you?

[imnot_likeyou]

[holds up the copy of the book in his hand]

Moby Dick.

[bonniewitch]

Huh. I've never read that one. [Litwick takes a few steps forward to inspect the newcomer.]

I heard that the books were doing crazy stuff.

[imnot_likeyou]

[nods]

Yep. Each one is something different.

[then he glances over at Litwick.]

That's a Pokemon, right?

[bonniewitch]

Yeah, she is. [Bonnie smiles down at the creature.]

Her name is Litwick and she's a ghost slash fire Pokemon. I want to give her another name, but I'm not sure what.

[imnot_likeyou]

[nods]

It's cool looking. Mine was ... kind of lame.

[bonniewitch]

Lame? Just how lame are we talking here?

[imnot_likeyou]

A giant yellow duck.

[bonniewitch]

What could this duck do? Like, powers and stuff.

[imnot_likeyou]

I think it was supposed to be psychic? But I could never get it to actually do anything.

[bonniewitch]

Oh, well that kind of sucks that you didn't get to see it. I still think that Litwick here has more abilities; she just hasn't shown them yet.

[imnot_likeyou]

Maybe you'll get to see them later on.

[bonniewitch]

I guess so. [she glances to the Litwick.] But I think I should speak to someone who might know more about them.

[imnot_likeyou]

There used to be a day care center -- I don't know if it's still around.

[bonniewitch]

Okay. Well I'll ask around or put it across the journal, see if someone knows. Thanks, Sam.

[imnot_likeyou]

No problem. And if you don't find anything that way, there's probably something in the library.

[bonniewitch]

Yeah, someone is bound to have written something down or at least had a book about them.

[imnot_likeyou]

Plus, there have been people from that universe here. The library tends to pick up things from the people who live here.

[bonniewitch]

I did not know that. Maybe its got something about my world here, hidden among all these books.

[imnot_likeyou]

It's possible. It's one of the most comprehensive collections I've ever seen.

[bonniewitch]

Then I'll definitely take a look someday. Thanks again for the tip, Sam.

[imnot_likeyou]

No problem. Just be careful with them right now. They have a mind of their own.

[bonniewitch]

Don't worry, I'll be very careful, Sam. I won't open them. It should be safe enough if I just look at the cover, right?

[imnot_likeyou]

That's the current theory.

[bonniewitch]

Okay. If I need help, I'll probably yell for you. [She laughs a little.]

[imnot_likeyou]

[laughs]

Sounds good. I'll be around.

[bonniewitch]

See you later, Sam.

[Bonnie offers him a smile before leaning down to pick up her pokemon, heading back to look at the shelves.]
