Once (Action/Video)

*Albedo wasn't entirely sure he trusted the phone's claim that he could get things back from home, but he didn't see the harm in trying. So when Dark Hour came, he was pleased and intrigued to find a particularly large Shadow fade away into a pile of ancient books. Except that left him with a couple problems...hence the video post. Said large pile of books is clearly visible in the background.*

Well, I seem to have acquired a few extra books overnight. Yo, Nigredo. I'm certain you realize how much time it would take for a single person to get these properly dealt with.

*A pause, considering.*

And Issei, these include copies of those books I got from you when we met if you've found yourself missing them.

[... Welp.]

Do you need help carrying those?

It would certainly get it over with faster, if you're certain you can handle antiques without damaging them.

[This is a linefacing Ryu. He's not very good at linefacing.]

I can handle those kinds of things.

*Sorry, Ryu. You're just kind of silly looking right now.*

Then if you're volunteering, I need to get these up to my room. It's on the same floor as Nigredo's.

Okay. I'll be there soon.

[Oh he's covering up some laughter at this, poor Albedo having issues.]

Where are you planning on putting those anyways?

I suppose I'll have to store them in my room for the time being. It's hardly the most organized solution, but it's better than the current situation.

[Well, there goes any illusion that Gaignun is getting his own room back. Oh well, he's not really complaining.]

I suppose we'll have to get you some shelves or something along those lines. Alright...where are you. I'll give you a hand.

*There was never any chance of that. He sweeps the camera around, making sure to give Nigredo a clear view of the street signs.*

Ryu has offered his aid as well. Perhaps we'll actually manage to get these inside before the natives begin waking up in any real number.

Of course. I'll be there shortly. [Of course. It figured Albedo would be a hoarder like Jr was with books. He honestly should have expected that.]

[And of course being the 'smart' URTV, he's thought ahead and managed to find a fair sized rolling suitcase for ease of transport.]

*Hey now, if he'd known he'd have to cart them inside, he would have prepared for it. But he is already working on sorting them into more manageable piles when Nigredo gets there.*

My, that's quite a collection you have going there.

I had to do something to keep myself occupied while waiting for certain events to fall into place. I didn't always have the opportunity to wipe out a swarm of Gnosis and military dogs whenever I was bored, after all.

[He suddenly gets a vision of a tiny Albedo making a pile/fort out of the books and hissing at anyone that got close.]

I suppose not. Here. you can put some of them in here, it'll make it easier to transport the more fragile ones.

*Or brandishing a weapon. And in the books go, gently.*

And to transport them in any number without dropping them.

[Ryu heads towards them, with a wooden flute sticking out of his back pocket.]

I'm just glad it isn't raining...[He turns at the sound of running feet]

Ah, hello there Ryu, come to help?

Don't say things like that until we're done, Nigredo.

*He turns as well.*

Remember, some of these are quite fragile.

Yeah. And I know.

[He carefully makes sure the books are stacked neatly and then picks up one of the stacks. Weight what weight. 8Db]

Thank you Ryu. This would have taken me and Albedo a lot longer on our own.

I wonder why this place has chosen all of a sudden to give things back...

Your guess is as good as mine at the moment. Perhaps it's an attempt to appease those of us who are deciding we've had enough.

I don't know either. I got the Wind Flute, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be helpful here.

[Which is a shame. Talking to P'ung Ryong would be really helpful right now.]

The wind flute? [A fanciful name, but he's not going to question it.]

Alright. Are we going to manage to get all of the in one trip Albedo?

Unlikely, unless you've managed to find a suitcase capable of reduced scale storage in this place.

*There are, quite literally, enough books in here to qualify as a personal library.*

Should one of you maybe stay here with them?

[He's gotten stolen from before. 8| ]

Most likely. I'm fine with staying if you two want to haul them back to the hotel then. [Shrug]

Backing out of the real effort, Nigredo?

*He gives a light swat but closes the suitcase and grabs the handle.*

We shouldn't keep you waiting long, at least.

[Ryu heads up towards Albedo's room, balancing the books easily against himself as he takes the stairs.]

I suppose they'd be unnecessary, now.

I'll have difficulty enough storing all of them without extra copies.

*But he doesn't want to just get rid of those. He'd keep them, if he had room.*

I could hold onto them for you, I suppose.

That would certainly be helpful. I have quite a few other extras to deal with as well, if you don't mind holding onto them as well.

Gladly. I'll be sure to keep them in excellent condition.

I had thought that part went without saying.

I'm just making sure.

I'll be sure to keep them easily accessible while I'm putting these away, then.

*He nods toward the pile of antique books.*

I could come by now and pick them up.

If you don't mind working around Nigredo, Ryu and myself getting these inside.

I could manage.
