[center][h3][color=green]Melody[/color] and [color=fff79a]Shino Koizumi[/color][/h3]
~And your Friendly Neighborhood Reaper~[/center] 


Melody had enjoyed herself in Shino's presence, with cuddles and patting going both ways she had felt tremendously relaxed. It had only came to a short end towards the evening when all familiars were called in for work duty, and she had left Shino with the promise of that she would return later if she was still there. After that she had gone all nyan cat over it and now after all was said and done, she went to look for Shini again. Comming out into the garden once more, she knew she had a duty to fullfill namely of being a party arranger, yet she didn't know too much about how to do so. 

However she weren't discouraged by this, and instead called out for Shino to see if she could find her again, perhaps that way Shino could help her... or at least keep her company while she studied up on Party arrangements. She assumed the previous shape of a Anubis anthro again as she didn't want to frighten Shino off with another form, after all the girl might have seemed slightly timid to her and she knew cats usually attached to unique scents and stuff. [color=green]"Shino?... you still out here?"[/color] she called out in the campus area as she headed towards the place she had seen her last. 

Shino left Melody short after and went back to her ussual, she wandered around campus seeing if she could hunt some food so she could less her hunger. After several hours of trying she still hadn't been able to catch even a single bird. Shino had grown tired and ate some insects instead so she would atleast have eaten something.

Her stomach growled violently when she was on her way back to her room. She really had to eat something or else she wouldn't keep her body running. Shino came across one of those food machines and did like she ussually did. She graciously kicked and stomped the machine with all her might. After several minutes of furious combat she panted a little and felt relieved to hear the sound of winning. A package of candy fell down into the dispenser. Shino quickly grabbed it and started eating like she hadn't eaten in a few days. Her jaw went up and down trying to work down the food as fast as she could.

After a while she was near the bottom of the small bag so she ate a little slower to savour the taste. Her ears curiously twitched about as someone called out to her. Her head turned towards the sound while she placed another piece of candy in her mouth. Shino headed towards the sound. It was not that far so she was at the spot in the comming 3 minutes. She walked at her own quick pace and would jump over any obstacle along the way, once she was near she climbed one of the fences around the garden and sneakily looked at the girl. 

Shino tilted her head while the girl came closer to her. It was Melody from before, Shino pondered what the girl would want for Shino. Shino squated down a little while she was on the fence. She ate another piece of candy out of the bag and talked once she had gulped the food down.

"Melody-han! You required Shino's assistance? Shino will help Melody-han if Melody-han needs Shino."

Melody looked around until she heard Shino's voice, before that she simply searched around. Seeing Shino squatting down on a fence she tlted her head slightly but approached none the less. It was then she spotted her muching on what looked like candy, at first that might not be so odd... but then as she saw how feriously she chugged it down she wondered if Shino was really hungry or something. It occured to her then that perhaps the cat girl had a hard time getting food... that would be really bad. 

[color=green]"Perhaps... but you seem to requrie some assistance as well... "[/color] she said as she could almost hear Shino's belly lurch from the candy rather than food. She sighed as she thought about what to do... then it simply hit her. [color=green]"You seem a bit hungry... I can help you solve that before we solve my problem~"[/color] she said cheerfully. She looked around finding the ocean to be closet, [color=green]"Let me get some fish for you~"[/color] she said as she waved for Shino to come as she happily walked off towards the ocean. 

Once there she looked around over yonder and shut her eyes for a moment. [color=green]"Okay... I'm going to do some of my magical fish gathering~ How about you just sit here and wait for me?~"[/color]  she said before she sipped out towards the ocean, once she reached it she dived into the water and started swimming out to the dephts... once there she dove under aand vanished transforming into a water spirit herself... It didn't take her too long to find fish actually... and then she just saught out the biggest she could find.

Sweeping into the fish's mouth she impaled it from inside then swept out again bringing the fish to the surface as she altered her form to an Anubis again. Then she simply strode ashore holding the fish high and waving to Shino. [color=green]"Hope you like Bass~"[/color] she said cheerfully as she gave the fish to Shino. [color=green]"Do you want me to cook it for you?"[/color] she asked as she settled down near Shino. 

Melody looked weird at Shino. Shino wondered what was up with Melody, did she have something stuck on her face. She briskly brushed her hand past her face a few time with her eyes slightly squinted. Shino shook her head a little and look back at Melody when she started talking. Melody thought Shino needed help, well she was in a little distress but she would find something to eat sooner or later anyway. Shino shook her head in denial.

"Shino doesn't need Melody-han's help, Shino is fine on her own nya!"

You could say she was a little stuborn for a cat. Melody still continued trying to help Shino by helping her get some food. Shino didn't refuse the offer however and simple followed along with her. As they headed off to whatever place her pace fastened to keep up with Melody. Shino was a tad shorter than her so she needed to put a little more effort in her walking to keep up. She was right behind Melody and noticed she was too close when Melody halted before the ocean. Shino bumped into Melody and bounched back. She shook her head and looked up as Melody turned around. Melody was gonna get fish for her! Shino's face brightened as she barely heard the word. She couldn't get it as fresh as this out of the ocean. She didn't like water so it was hard for her to hunt the fish on her own. Shino cheerfully spoke back to Melody, her voice was a little weird because of her nose having closed up after the collision with Melody. It wasn't much diffrence, like she had a small cold.

"Ohhh! Fish! Melody-han will get fish for Shino! Shino will be forever gratefull to Melody-han!" 

Shino jumped up and down and circled once while jumping. Melody dove into the water and Shino quickly ran to the spot she jumped in, she curiously looked into the water to see herself but nothing more than the darkness of the sea. Shino kept looking into the sea untill she saw something bubbling up. Shino ran back to a safe spot for the water and saw melody walk out of the water again. Shino's gaze averted towards the big fish in Melody her hand. She cheered up and had gotten close to the jackal. Her tail right up as she looked around the fish, her gaze was filled with wonder as she already started drowling. Melody asked if Shino liked it in which she immediatly nodded her head twice. The fish was given to Shino, she carefully got it from Melody and held it far away from her body so she wouldn't get wet herself.

Melody was cheerful in her effort to help Shino, even if the girl had turned her down she was determined to get her at least one fish or a couple as a token of friendship to say the least. And everything became worth it as Shino seemed beyond happy when she returned to shore. Seeing that look in the Cat girls eyes she felt happy, it was like for a moment she felt that she really belonged by someone's side. It didn't take long for the water stuck to Melody to evaporate in the warm sun and by then she simply absorbed the excess salt on her body without really showing much. 

[color=green]"you like it?"[/color] she asked smiling, it kinda was obvious That Shino did love it, but she felt the need to ask anyway. It seemed in all the excitement that Shino had forgotten about her nose pain which haden't seemed to slow her down from the bump before, and she also seemed to forget that Melody asked her something which she didn't quite mind. [color=green]"I can cook the fish for you if you don't want to eat it raw... but perhaps you like it better that way?"[/color] she asked as she weren't really sure how the cat girl liked her fish best. 

Shino nodded twice again and was already starting to lick her lips wanting to eat it. Melody asked Shino if she wanted the fish cooked or not. In the first place Shino her mind was so far taken away that she didn't even hear that Melody asked her. At the second time she would just barely hear it and felt quite startled when she looked back up at Melody. Shino shook her head a little to get herself together again and don't fall victim too such easy distractions.

"Can Melody-han cook? Shino likes cooked fish better but Shino feels like Melody-han has done enough already for Shino nya. Maybe Melody-han can tell Shino her problem so Shino can help Melody-nyan!"

Shino twisted the fish and held it up with both hands closer to her body once it was bit dryer so it wouldn't clumsly fall out of her hands. She would truly hate herself if that were to happen to Melody's gigantic present.

Melody watched Shino for a whille as she seemed eager to dig into the fish, she nodded to Shino as she told her to cook it for her [color=green]"Okay Shino~"[/color] she said happily as she went to fetch a good grill stick from the woods before returning, she put the fish on the grill stick and then smiled to Shino as she focused a while. [color=green]"Okay Shino, don't be afraid now... I'm going to grill this fish using fire... so stay back okay?... If you want you can go sit on that bench"[/color] she said pointing to a bench in the distance. 

[color=green]"Melody will become like fire... its nothing dangerous for Melody, but Shino should stay at a safe distance"[/color] she said as she transformed into a Fire spirit. She then gently circled around the fish on the stick altering her bodily temperature to become just about perfect for grilling the sea bass. After a few min it would be completely cooked and ready to eat, at this point Melody transformed back to normal and looked to see if Shino was still close by. [color=green]"Okay your fish is grilled~"[/color]she sang before turning to watch her work with a smile. 

Melody went into the bushes to get fetch a good branch to pierce through the fish. She was back rather quickly and immediatly pierced the fish with the spear so that she could cook it on a self made barbeque. Melody requested Shino to step back a bit so she wouldn't burn herself when Melody would become the fire herself. Shino hastfully nodded with her hands stuck before her chest and hopped a few feet away from Melody.

When Shino was a fair distance away from Melody she turned herself into fire just like she said. Shino gazed at the fire with an awe expression on her face. How could a being just as simple as that turn into a fire. She might have used it before too to turn herself into water. Maybe she had controll of all the 4 elements or another magic Shino didn't know about yet. The warmt of the fire felt nice and the fish grilling on top of it looked even nicer.

When Melody was finished she would walk over at Shino, she still felt a little bit hot but nothing too dangerous to be around. Shino hopped over towards her and happily retrieved the grilled fish from Melody. She quickly took a bite out of the side off the fish. Her canine digged into the fish it's skin. She had to pull quite hard with her teeth to pull off a bit of fish. But when she finally had a bit she cheerfully chewed. She had to blow a little while eating to let it cool down and she surely had burned her toungh a little but she didn't mind. She was happy enough to have some food at least. Shino placed one of her hands on her cheek out of delight and held the fish with the other hand. Her burnt toungh and the moutfull made it hard to understand what she was saying but she sure seemed to enjoy it.

"Melody-han kan cook veny hood!"

There it was again, Surely Melody could see it in Shino's eyes how impressed she was and delighted to gain food, it was a tremendously good feeling to give her food when she seemed so thankful for it, it was like if she for a moment wondered if the feeling itself weren't love... She bent down with a smile as she watched Shino eat in a rather funny way, it made her want to watch Shino eat each and every day. And if Shino had troubles getting food, Melody wanted to be the one there for her just cause how happy it made her feel. 

[color=green]"Thank you~"[/color] she replied to Shino quite much understanding what Shino was trying to say, but that might been because she slightly read Shino's mind to hear the whole sentance. She sat down in the sand and just waited for Shino to eat in peace until she felt ready to ask Shino her question. [color=green]"Shino... do you know anything about parties?... Melody is supposed to make a party for everyone, but have no idea really how to do that... Melody figures she could read books, but if Shino have experience with parties it would be a big help"[/color] she asked, wondering if the cat girl possibly knew anything about the parties she needed to make. 

The bass wasn't going down her throat very fast, she had a rather hard time eating the whole thing, it was quite much for such a little girl. Shino lightly panted in between her eating and began to look a little tired. Shino huffed and puffed as she worked down the last pieces of bass but once she was finished she felt with her hands back in the sand to support herself. She looked up at the sky and closed her eyes for a moment giving a sigh of relieve. She lightly patted her tummy and spoke up.

"Shino feels delighted nyaa~"

Shino looked back up at Melody again when Melody began to speak. She sat with her hands between her legs a little bent over towards her. Melody needed Shino's help to getting to know on how parties work. Shino angled her head a little in confusion.

"Parties?"

Shino didn't really know on how they would give parties in this time and age. She barely even understanded the word. She had a vague idea on how it was done so she would give Melody the advice she knew about.

"Shino doesn't really know well about parties but Shino will do her best! Shino thinks Melody-han should dance to the sun and praise the gods after that Melody-han should sacrifice living creature for prayers to the gods."

It might have sounded a little weird but Shino was dead serious about the question. Her answere might not have been the best however.

Melody was glad to hear that Shino felt delighted and thus smiled to her, she silently shook her head however when she realized that Shino had managed to eat the whole thing however, and it made her laugh to think of little Shino as a Glutton. 

When the issue about the party came up however Melody realized that what Shino was proposing for her to do sounded more like a festival of sacrifice rather than a party, and that gave some concerns. It were a bir curious too, to dance and sacrifice stuff was probably part of some religious thing somewhere, something that Melody herself din't know too much about. 

Yet it probably meant it was time to get back to the books. "Okay..  I guess that means we have to hit the books... I don't think a ritual of sacrifice and dancing is going to be much of a party... but thank you Shino." she said and laughed slightly. She stretched out and turned to walk towards the Library, "Do you wish to tag along?... It would be more fun to have you around really.... but I won't force you to come to the library if you don't want" she said simply and smiled to Shino. 

"Yea that is fine nya, Shino will help Melody-han so Shino could give Melody-han something in return for the fish nya."

[hr]

When Melody reached the Library she decided to head right inside as she didn't really have the time to wait for anything else to happen, she quite much ignored her surroundings except for stuff she could bump into on the way and made it there quite fast. Once she stepped up to the door went in and then started looking around again. She knew there was some kind of Librarian here, and if she remembered correctly its name was Gall and was a Reaper. Thus Melody decided to do the only thing reasonable and pick up a Vaccum cleaner and transform to look like she wore a ghost busters outfit. "Gaaall?... you here?.... come out, come out wherever you are~" she sang happily as she looked around for him. 

Shino quietly persevered as Melody had transformed into some kind of plumber outfit with a big vacuum cleaner to suck up all the ghosts. Shino realised she was looking for someone that was probably a very dirty person that Melody wanted to clean. She titled her head a little and looked around a little to see if she saw any persons that would resemble someone dirty. Shino did notice a list on one of the boards that displayed some of the catergories of the books that were there and had fitting row numbers and such. Shino quietly made her way over and looked through the list if something intresting would befall her mind while Melody was busy doing her own things.

And suddenly, just behind Melody, the reaper’s voice could be heard.

[color=black]“Ghostbusters. How original. No one at all has ever thought of that before.”[/color] The Librarian’s otherworldly voice echoed as he spoke, a slight edge to his words. Gall had put up with such jokes for quite a while now, and he was utterly bored to death of them, one might say.

[color=black]“Perhaps you could at least try something a little more original…”[/color] He continued, walking over to one of the bookshelves. At least it wasn’t a bone pun, or a pun about him being dead or something.

Ugh. Some people.

[color=black]“What do you need aside from wasting my time?”[/color]

Melody glanced to the reaper when he spoke and then laughed slightly as she gently put the vacuum cleaner down. Okay she had to admit that he probably had seen that before, and if he wanted something more original she was prepared to make it her personal challange!... it weren't like she didn't have the time to try stuff out after all. [color=green]"Well there you are~  I would love to shake your hand and all, but I've heard that a reaper's touch is quite bad for your health~" [/color] she said and laughed slightly about it. 

However, she switched back to her usual Anubian self for once. And gave Gall a firm bow. The time had now come, the once uppertune moment to ask Gall for his aid. Thus after her bow Melody Sank down upon one knee, firemly showing fierce devotion to the taks and in this respectful gesture bowed her head. [color=green]"Divine Unholy Lord... God of the Underworld, And mighty deity of the End. I Melody, beseech the for thy knowledge, as the hour glass empties and the circle continues around... "[/color] she said before raising her head to look at the reaper. 

[color=green]"I've Come here, upon this Day and summoned thy, For I wish to gain knowledge of how to launch a Party beyond those of this world. A Feast in honor of the past, and the future... One of the Night sky, Sun, moon and stars... One that can weave fate together, rekindle the flames of hope, and grant passion to those who attend."[/color] Melody said before pausing. 

She got up and glanced to Shino before smiling [color=green]"I seek not creation nor destruction, only the wisdom of Ages. Words or Tomes that can grant such knowledge. To kindle the idea inside of me how to make such an event possible... to be enjoyed by each and all... to let us dance, feast... and sing together. To make friendships, bonds and perhaps even love... until the end of our days. That is why I've come here Oh thy Mighty Gall"[/color] she said her tone for like once sounding rather serioius about something. 

Gall would have rolled his eyes, were he capable. This girls’ theatrics were not something he was finding himself liking. At least, however, she was being respectful. The reaper sighed quietly, turning his head towards the ground.

[color=black]“I appreciate the words,”[/color] He replied fixing her with his eyeless stare. [color=black]“But I am merely one who guides lost souls on their journey into the afterlife.”[/color] Really, he didn’t even do that much as of late. He was Livia’s familiar after all, which meant she was his first priority in a number of ways. That aside though…party? He had no idea how to throw a party. Had Livia tasked this girl with throwing one? She was probably going to help with the party in a few days’ time, then. Hrm…

[color=black]“I suppose…though if you need help throwing something together for the party in a few days I can be of some help…”[/color] The reaper raised a skeletal hand to his chin, as though he was thinking of something.

[color=black]“If there is a party, there must be drinks.”[/color] He replied simply. [color=black]“At a gathering like this, Wine will probably be preferable. Actually…hold a moment.”[/color] The reaper vanished into the shadows in an instant. It was only for a few seconds, before he returned again with a book, checking it briefly before returning his gaze to Melody.

[color=black]“Perhaps…you may get better ideas from records of the past yearly parties.”[/color] Gall replied. [color=black]“There is a record of all the ones had here since its founding. If you wish, I will show you where the records are kept.”[/color]

Shino looked over at Melody once she had started talking to someone, her gaze averted towards the man in black. She curiously tilted her head and walked up to him. She glanced over him. Looks like Melody had found the dirty man she was looking for. The man was nothing more then a dog toy and Shino hated dogs and their toys.

"Hey hey Menony-han you can clean this gross pile of bones."

Shino didn't realise she was standing next to a man that she had just pretty much disrespected. Shino absentmindly looked over at Melody while pointing her finger at him. How was this thing even moving, it didn't look like it had any strings attached and the voice was another magic trick apart from the rest. She confusingly looked over the man once more raising her finger to her chin to ponder on the man's excistance.

Melody tilted her head slightly, she weren’t really sure why Gall disliked the things she made, sure he had seen nothing yet but that small prank, it weren’t like she meant any harm with it she just wanted to find out how he reacted. She gave a sigh but smiled as Gall at least seemed to agree to helping her anyway, it was good to know that he would help her, at least he appreciated the words she had spoken which made her happy. She hoped she was on the plus side after that, she didn’t want to make unfriends after all as that would be bad. 

It seemed to Melody that Gall simply humbled himself by saying that he were just a guide, it was a nice thing to say probably or just a state of mind he were in. It didn’t really change the facts and the legends about reapers and that Gall were one of them, to have power to slay any fiend with but one swing of a Scythe of death, and shine their lantern to guide souls. She let Gall think and speak uninterupted, yet as he vanished into the shadows she pondered if he just decided to leave. Then he came back before she could ponder any further. 

[color=green]”I would appreciate any help you can give me.”[/color] she replied and smiled to him. At first he suggested Wine to be served… surely that was an interesting idea… but not everyone liked wine and divine wine that anyone could drink and like were hard to get. Not to mention it had to be something not everyone got drunk out of and started to fight. This caused her to poner rather hard as well. 
 
 When he showed her the book on the subject and offered to show her a record of the past parties she smiled, it sounded just great. Yet she was momentairily distracted by Shino and her asking her to clean the pile of bones up which made her laugh. [color=green]”Shino I’m not here to clean you know~… and I¨’m pretty sure Gall wouldn’t like getting cleaned up~”[/color]she sang before walking over to Shino and give her a pat on the head. [color=green]”Don’t worry kay?.. I be back soon just as before~”[/color] she said before turning her attention back to Gall.
 
 Melody nodded to Gall and were very curious of what the past parties had been and how exactly they had been exectued. [color=green]”That would be wonderful… please take me there… oh wait just a minute”[/color]she said before focusing, her body transformed until she became uncorpreal and then she glanced up at Gall. [color=green]”Okay… I am ready… please Guide me to the knowledge”[/color]she would say in a haunted voice as she hoovered up in the air nearby Gall.   

Gall seemed to completely ignore Shino. He probably didn’t take too kindly to being called a ‘gross pile of bones’.

He didn’t comment on Melody’s new form either, seeming completely unimpressed with it.

[color=black]“Very well, follow me then.”[/color] Gall replied, the book he was carrying vanishing in an instant, going back to whatever shelf he had pulled it from. He led Melody to a section towards the front of the massive library, passing a few other students as he did so. It was simply labeled ‘School Records’, and was quite the large area. Montagne may only be a few decades old, but a magic academy like it always produced quite a large amount of paper work and it was his job to keep it all organized with the help of a few familiar aides.

The book he had previous been carrying, was laying on a table not far from them.

[color=black]“The records of all the previous balls are here.”[/color] He said, pointing to one of the shelves. [color=black]“Expenses, photographs, things like that.”[/color] He sighed, turning to Melody. [color=black]“At the very least, it will help you understand what you do not want.”[/color]

Melody frowned deeper as Gall didn't seem impressed with this either, even though she decided to follow him anyway as he led her towards the right place after putting his book back. On the way there Melody decided to pass through several students and book shelves just to give them quite a chill, at least Gall did his job quite well of guiding Melody who now was a lost spirit for him to show to the after life... or at least where she actually wanted to go which was wherever the school records were. 

When she reached it she decided to Transform back into 'normal' and glance towards Shino. [color=green]"Shino~Over here... we can find out about the school here..."[/color]she called as she looked around the records. She then looked to Gall with a smile [color=green]"Thank you~ Oh if you ever need a new Lantern or Death Scythe call me okay?... "[/color] she said as she suddenly transformed into [url=http://orig05.deviantart.net/565d/f/2013/268/6/c/soul_eater___death_the_kid_by_epicchaos450-d6nt2hl.png]Death the Kid[/url] from Soul Eater. [color=green]"Just call me over Dad~ I've watched all episodes of Soul Eater you know~ I think I could match the size you need~"[/color] Melody said and chuckled as she twirled around and looked around at the records.  

Gall actually seemed rather annoyed now. He didn’t know what she meant by ‘dad’, since she was most definitely not a child of his, so he ignore it.

[color=black]“The scythe I wield, is no mere trinket you can duplicate.”[/color] He said sternly. [color=black]“It is an artifact older than most of the gods themselves.”[/color] He thought about showing the girl the weapon itself, but ultimately decided against it. Using it for such a petty purpose would simply tarnish its blade.

[color=black]“If that is all you need...then I have other business to attend.”[/color]

Melody groaned as she pointed towards Gall, she were annoyed that he were annoyed with her. It was the logic of being annoyed!... it spread and duplicated causing war, dread and terror over the land after all. [color=green]"There's a Reaper... in Soul eater... you know what? just watch the show Gall. you'll understand"[/color] she said as she turned her attention to the books. [color=green]"Besides... you scythe was constructed... meaning it could be reconstructed... "[/Color] She said and started reading on her own. 

She glanced to Gall, [color=green]"And No, thank you. I have gained all the help I need"[/color] she said and kept on studying the records, wondering how she could surpass all of them...

With a rather curt bow, Gall disappeared further into the Library.

Melody eventually grew bored and decided to morph once more... this time into a Pink cloud of sugary sweet goodness... because what else can you turn into with near infinite possibilities?... well it was a answer for another day. 

[hr]

[center][h3]~Conner & Gall~[/h3][/center]

Gall left the girl, for quite a few reasons. For one, he didn’t entirely enjoy her behavior. Ones like hers were the ones he found the most annoying. In her attempts to be humorous, she only succeeded in making an utter fool of herself. If there was one thing the reaper hated, it was fools like her.

Another reason, was because he was needed elsewhere in his library. He could hear the footsteps of someone running. Wasn’t hard to find the location of whoever it was since the rest of the library was more or less silent aside from a few whispers between students who were reading or studying.

He turned the corner around one of the bookshelves, immediately turning to face the boy who was running for whatever reason.

[color=black]“The last person who ran in my library, was banned for life.”[/color] He addressed the boy as his eyeless sockets fell on him.

Conner immediatly came to a halt when he encountered the robed man and upon further inspection, noticed it was actually a skeleton. He clenched onto his duffle bag for dear life, scared that one false move could be the end for him.

[color=yellow]" I-I'm so s-s-sorry, I'll b-be sure too never do that again!"[/color]

At this point, Conner was starting to shake again. Those eyeless sockets staring at him were way worse than any other he has come across in his life which is understandable since these were literally death itself. But something it mentioned earleir caught his attention.

[color=yellow]" Wait... a-are you by any chance in charge of this l-library? Iv'e been meaning to find you because I wasn't a-able to attend the opening c-ceremony and I'm struggling in finding my dorm..."[/color]

Gall sighed.

[color=black]“I am indeed the Librarian.”[/color] He replied. [color=black]“I apologize if I have startled you, but if you missed the opening Ceremony I suppose it cannot be helped. I am Gall. Familiar to Headmistress Fiore and caretaker of this library.”[/color] He bowed as he spoke, hoping that would at least help to calm the boy a bit.

[color=black]“Missed the opening ceremony, you say?”[/color] The reaper straightened his posture. [color=black]“Were you not on campus, then? Hrm…not that it matters I suppose. If you don’t know your dorm I can indeed help you if you will refrain from running in my Library.”[/color]

He was surprised when he heard the reaper apologize to him. He didn't feel like there was a need for it to apologize seeing how Conner was the one who made a mistake. His tension lessened as well as his grip on the bag when he watched the being bow to him. He quickly turned from scared to fluster to the sight of this as he started shaking his head.

[color=yellow]" N-No there's no need to apologize! I understand I was the one at f-fault here! It is nice to meet you Mr.Gall... My name is Conner a-and your right. I w-wasn't on campus at the moment... You see I uhhh... am from the overseas program and m-my flight was delayed and yes... I will refrain from running again in your l-library".[/color]

He let out a small smile but then shortly he brought his bag close to his face to hide it.

The Pink cloud made of what looked almost like floating candy-floss and hoovering school records boredly floated up above the book shelves and circled around a while.  After trying to make sense of budgets and stuff that was another thing she was in general bad with… why did she need to care about expenses?... couldn’t she just make stuff out of gold and all because it looked good?... it was confusing.

Wondering who she could question she noticed Gall with some boy in the distance, she decided that she might as well ask them what they thought of the numbers. Floating in over [i]them[/i] heads she glanced down at them and then started raining... questions at them... or not. But at least she decided to ask [color=green]"Numbers... additions... minus equal marks... So... Wine... songs... Clothes, food, How does one make sense of all these numbers?" [/color] the pink cloud asked. 

[color=black]“I see. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Conner. And please. It’s just Gall. I haven’t had Mr. added to my name since…well. For a while.”[/color] He motioned for the boy to follow him, and started heading towards the front of the Library just as the pink cloud showed itself.

He sighed.

[color=black]“Do you not know basic math? I’m not a math teacher, go bother someone else.”[/color] Gall replied rather harshly.

[color=black]“Ignore the thing, Conner. Follow me to the front and I’ll find your dorm assignment. I have them there somewhere.”[/color]

[color=yellow] Oh uhhhm.... Sure M- Gall...[/color] 

He caught himself before almost slipping up with saying Mr. He then followed Gall to the front but stopped when he noticed the reaper starring at something. Conner followed it's gaze until he saw the pink cloud as well. When the cloud spoke, he hid behind  Gall, not knowing how on earth a cloud could speak in the first place but since they were in a magic school anything was possible he'd guess.

[color=yellow] "Oh... o-okay but isn't it an acquaintance of yours?"[/color]

[color=green]"Well You were standing in the way as I were asking that boy"[/color] The Pink cloud replied before sighing. She thought for a while and looked around [color=green]"...Buut... I have an idea..."[/color]she said and started stalking another student instead, that way she could continously stalk people until they gave in and helped her out with the understanding of this party thing. 

[color=black]“Less of an acquaintance. More of a waste of time.”[/color] Gall bluntly replied. [color=black]“She’s a shapeshifter. A student here. I do not have the time for her shenanigans.”[/color]

Gall lead the boy to the front of the library, not taking them long to reach it since there was nothing to distract him from business. The reaper didn’t even bother going around the wooden counter that divided the library from his office. Instead, he simply seemed to blink out of existence and then simply appear on the other side in the next instant.

[color=black]“Hmm…What did you say your name was? Conner…?”[/color]

[i][color=yellow] A shapeshifter? Well that explains it...[/color][/i]

Conner kept a mental note of that as he continued following Gall to it's office. When they reached the counter, he was surprised by the reaper's sudden action of blinking behind the structure. He was starting to wonder how strong Gall must be to be put in charge of the library, not only that but he was also thinking how even stronger Fiore could possibly be for having a familiar such as Gall. His thoughts were soon brought to a colse though when he heard the said reaper calling his name.

[color=yellow]" Ah yeah... that's my n-name. My last name is Sol i-if you need to lessen the search..."[/color]

He rest his bag on the floor and peeked over the counter in order to help Gall find them. 

Gall hummed in thought as he flipped through some papers on the desk. It didn’t take him long to find what he was looking for. Pulling some papers out of a drawer, he began flipping through them, finally arriving where Conner’s name would be listed. He ran a skeletal finger across the page, finding his last name in a rather quick manner.

[color=black]“Sol…sol…ah-here we are.”[/color] Gall replied. [color=black]“You’ll be in the Dorm closest to the Library.”[/color] The reaper said placing the paper on the desk, sliding it over to Conner.

[color=black]“An extension of the library, actually. It has its own bookshelves and everything. It’s not too far from here. I often go there to make sure the students are taking proper care of the books.”[/color]

Conner let out a sigh of releif. For a moment, he had thought that there was going to be some complications involved with finding his papers. He also felt lucky that his dorm was reletively nearby and the fact that the location itself was ideal for him. Already learning his mistakes, Conner would be sure to watch himself from causing any trouble to Gall and his books. The library is a silent place and he assumes that students that do visit, would only be there for studying. The only thing he would probably have to worry about are what kind of people his  roommates are... 

Accepting the paper that was given to him, Conner scanned the sheet first with his own eyes before folding it multiple times in a neat square and fitting it in his pocket. When he looked back over to Gall, the boy noticed something. Since the reaper didn't have eyes to stare Conner back with, it made it easy for him to look back. Progress, he guesses.

[color=yellow]"T-Thank you. Uhmmm I wanted to a-apologize again for running earlier... If it's alright with y-you, I wouldn't mind helping around every often... A-As a way to repay for the help you've given me."[/color]

[color=black]“I am merely doing my job, Conner.”[/color] Gall bowed his head slightly. [color=black]“And just refrain from doing next time, if you would.”[/color] At his offer though, the reaper was genuinely surprised, though it didn’t show on his skeletal features. He would have smiled a bit, if he were capable.

[color=black]“Ah…I thank you for the offer, Conner, but…”[/color] He raised a bony finger to his chin, seeming to think. After a few moments of consideration he seemed to come to a decision. [color=black]“Very well. Any day you do not have class, if you would like to help me here then I will gladly accept. I am usually around here somewhere, unless the Headmistress has need of me so I will not be hard to find.”[/color]

He turned back to the counter, quickly re-organizing the papers he had taken out In search of Conners dorm assignment.

[color=black]“I do think it would be best to get to your dorm for now, and possibly greet those you will be living with.”[/color]

[color=yellow] O-Oh alright! I'll see you t-tomorrow after classes then!G-Goodbye Gall...[/color]

Conner replied as he went to go pick up his belongings, preparing to leave. He made sure to wave goodbye to Gall before he left, being sure to walk this time.
