[center][h3][color=fff79a]Lambda Lazuli[/color] / [color=bc8dbf]Kurogane Ookami[/color][/h3][/center] [i]Location:[/i] The Grand Library [i]Interactions:[/i] Lambda > Maverick [@Aqutanama] and Kurogane > Alrune [@Dezuel] [quote=@Dezuel] [color=bc8dbf][b]"Y-y-you s-should leave t-the lady al-alone p-pervert. Please g-g-go away..."[/b][/color] Alrune reached out and pointed with his right hand towards Maverick. Somehow his tongue and mouth had lagged behind this time, perhaps it was because of he not having a sheet with what he should sing, or the backup by the bandmembers. Or the ever watchful stare of his manager. [/quote] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHNH4u7uNW8]Laughter and Merriment (Kingdom Hearts II)[/url] [i]Laughter. Even though the library was supposed to be a place of silence, echoing laughs could be heard inside it. Alrune's rather... nervous approach drew attention. Not the exact one he wanted, everyone was pretty sure. Even the people on the other floors started laughing at his attempt to defend Darla.[/i] [color=bc8dbf]"Pfffft... bahahaha!! Wow, good going, hero!! I'm sure she's feelin' hella safe with ya around!!"[/color] [i]Kurogane screamed at Alrune, from the second floor, while laughing wildly.[/i] [color=fff79a]"Hey, he was just trying to help her. Don't laugh at him like that."[/color] [i]Lambda scolded him.[/i] [color=bc8dbf]"Yeah, suuuuure!! Big... pfft... big fuckin' help, hahahaha!!"[/color] [i]Kurogane kept laughing with everyone.[/i] [quote=@Aqutanama] [color=964B00]“AH! The hero arrives at last!”[/color] He bellowed in as deep a voice as he could. It was only made comical by the inflections of his voice. [color=964B00]“However, what kind of hero comes only after a reward of 2 million gold bars is pleaded with? Shouldn’t the hero be selfless?”[/color] He questioned and his voice was once again cracking showing his age. However, he didn’t let it slow him down. [color=964B00]“I digress. I’m here for the princess and no hero will get in my way!”[/color] He yelled as he toggled his gravity on in such a way that it would allow him to float in the air. Just like a big bad from any anime. He also made his cloak bellow with the same ability. After that he did as menacing of a laugh as he could and then landed. This would have caused extreme nausea to anyone normal. Thankfully he was more robust than normal. [/quote] [i]Even more laughter came out from the crowd. Everyone knew Mav was mocking Alrune. The librarians and the rest of the staff were trying to contain the scene, but it was impossible to keep a multitude of people quiet when the atmosphere is hysterical as it was. This was no longer a library, it felt like an enormous circus.[/i] [color=bc8dbf]"Oh, this is rich, my stomach hurts! Never woulda thought a library could be this fun!"[/color] [i]Kurogane tried to catch some breaths while laughing.[/i] [color=fff79a]"This isn't funny. You're all bullying him and he was just trying to help."[/color] [i]Lambda kept scolding.[/i] [color=bc8dbf]"Ah, grow a spine Lamb! Don't tell me ya ain't findin' this just a tad bit funny?"[/color] [i]Kurogane asked him.[/i] [color=fff79a]"No, I'm really not. This whole scene needs to stop, the librarians and the staff are getting angry."[/color] [i]Lambda answered.[/i] [color=bc8dbf]"Eh, stop it. C'mon, just enjoy the view! Here, they're still going!"[/color] [i]Kurogane pointed it out while returning to look at the scene.[/i] [i]Lambda took that window of opportunity to pass through the crowd to head downstairs as quickly as he could. He didn't find this funny, and he thought it wasn't interesting to let this happen any longer. Alrune was now put in a spot of being taken as a joke.[/i] [color=fff79a](I'm really sorry Kuro... but I can't watch this any longer.)[/color] [i]He thought with himself, going downstairs.[/i] [quote=@Aqutanama] [color=964B00]“I’m telling you that I was hired as a cameraman, not some main villain! I’m too young and my voice cracks with every syllable!”[/color] He yelled so that the others would hopefully think it was a play rehearsal. [color=964B00]“Furthermore, the lines are crap. Who wrote these lines? I mean the hero comes in and calls him a pervert! Shouldn’t he have some kind of tie to the Villain or something?”[/color] He asked her as he moved to Alrune. [color=964B00]“And you! Why did you stutter? I thought we went over the lines time and time again?!”[/color] He scolded Alrune in the act while pointing at him. However, lightly as the wind in his sails abated after he noticed the security and staff around them. As he noticed he pulled away from Alrune and bowed towards the staff. [color=964B00]“Apologies! I hope that you got my father’s memo about the play we are creating in honor of this library. Well, we had to change a few things to spice it up. Add a little romance, some comical lines, and get a new lead villain. This was supposed to help invigorate interest in the library in order for more youth to become interested in knowledge. Well, seeking it on their own that is.”[/color] Mav lied through his teeth but when he pulled out a business card the staff only nodded and went on their way. They seemed put off by the entire thing but didn’t want to have to deal with the Majere family. He handed a card to a few people here and there. Afterward he moved towards Alrune and Darla handing each a card as well. He hoped that the others would follow along and noted that everyone was dispersing. [/quote] [i]Applause. The laughter suddenly changed to a round of applause as Mav lied his way around to make it look like a theatrical play being somewhat staged at the library. Many of the students were actually appalled and no one seemed to raise an objection, so they just went ahead and congratulated them for the play. But not all of them were actually convinced, though.[/i] [color=bc8dbf](A play, eh. Guy's smart, I'll give 'im that. He managed to change it around so that it seemed like a total joke. At least he got it out clean.)[/color] [i]Kurogane thought.[/i] [i]That's when he looked around to talk with Lambda, realizing he wasn't there. And if he wasn't there, that could only mean one thing...[/i] [color=bc8dbf]"Oh, for cryin' out loud...!!"[/color] [i]Kurogane muttered while hastily going to the stairs.[/i] [quote=@Aqutanama] Mav placed his right hand over his left breast in a stiff spear handed bow to Darla first and then Alrune. [color=964B00]“So, did I do well enough?”[/color] He asked as he came out of the bow. He made sure to look Darla in the eyes and then pointedly look in the direction Reverio headed but not at the door. This was a precaution just in case someone was watching. He pulled out his device and placed it back on his face as he awaited a response. [/quote] [color=fff79a]"Humiliating him isn't funny, he was just trying to help her."[/color] [i]Lambda spoke.[/i] [b][i]*BGM fades*[/i][/b] [i]And then there was silence. The time that all the scenes happened was time enough for Lambda to go down through the staircase and reach the bottom floor. He went towards the group and spoke to Mav.[/i] [color=fff79a]"You're really bothering her. She's really busy with other affairs and you just rudely interrupted her. Please, leave Miss Darla alone, she doesn't want to talk with you."[/color] [i]Lambda said to him.[/i]
