Taking advantage of the distraction Yuki had created, Valerie mumbled her excuses to Angel Heart Spirit and made for the library. She had never been one for loud noises, but they certainly had their place. There would be orientation and such later, but, for now, she could at least manage some independent study. She fingered her books again.
	"Quiet please, and [b][u]no powers[/u]![/b]" the sign declared. Sure, most of the school had rules against using your powers for one reason or another, but the librarian had experienced too many twisters, fires, and plain disruptions to her precious stock for there to be any question regarding whether this or that was okay. Sadly, it seemed that the library was closed until after orientation.
	Resigning herself to a boring morning, Valerie slumped back towards the entrance, carefully staying out of sight of the rest of the growing crowd. She leaned up against a wall and retrieved one of the her school books from her bag. She'd already read the lot from cover to cover, but, well, sometimes you just had to make do. She adjusted her glasses as she settled in to waste time.
