Day 27: Library
Libraries, he'd found, were rarely as dull as people made them out to be. Though he felt no magic in these tomes, they were still full of useful information. Maybe some of them could tell him a little bit more about this world he'd landed himself in.
For that matter, why hadn't he run into any of the others yet? They'd all been fairly close together when they'd left Rekord, but he hadn't seen a trace of any of them. He was able to communicate easily with the people here though, which led him to believe Mokona was within a mile or so. Unless the ones running this little game had some other way to let all these other-worldly people communicate amongst themselves. In which case, the others could be very far away indeed.
The library had that wonderful smell of old books, and Fai traced his fingers along the shelves, skimming titles and pulling books that struck his fancy. Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, The War of the Worlds, and with a smile, he found Bram Stoker's Dracula as well. Raven had been telling the truth then, in spite of his own lies. Ought to be a good start. He sat leisurely at one of the tables and began flipping through his selections.

...and the shielding. If Gremio was there and Hellmaster scooted over slightly, the only angle anyone could see him from was...

"Ah... thank you very much," he said, smiling warmly as he took a seat next to the boy. He couldn't help but wonder, though. Just how old was this boy? How had he ended up here in the first place? He certainly hoped his case was a rarity; it was bad enough for young girls like Miku and Haruhi (both Haruhis) to be stuck here, but for an actual child...
"If you don't mind my asking, what's your name?"
no subject
That was the second time he had to hide behind Lei Magnus's name. He probably should have done it from the start, but he hadn't expected anyone who knew (besides Xelloss, of course) to show up. It didn't make sense; why had mother put the chimera here as well, unless he had some undiscovered purpose as well. Maybe instead of running from him, the Mazoku lord decided, he should just make him look like a liar. Yes, that might be a better plan...
"I mean,..." he added sheepishly and trailed off. He looked about as if a bit concerned, but quickly held his book back up and went back to hiding. "Oh, I wish I could tell you, Mister, but I don't want him to find out!"

He continued to look pained, as if hiding a deep sorrow that begged Gremio to probe further and save this child. He rather hoped he would.
no subject
"There, there, now," he said, patting the boy on the shoulder. "You can tell me, alright? I won't let anyone hurt you." There was simply no excuse for making a child look so sad. Gremio couldn't stand for it.

Keeping on reeeeeellin' him in...

It was nice to have someone as gullible as Gremio to talk to. Phibrizzo suspected he had great potential...

It was important that Gremio give Zelgadis no credit- perhaps it would become contagious and others would follow suit.

IDIOT.
Phibrizzo looked into Gremio's eyes, his own wide. He very nearly broke out into arrogant laughter, wanting very much to crush this gullible fool's little world of trust and rainbows, but kept his act under control all the same. He needed gullible, especially in a "good" figure. If others were going to trust his word over all others, he needed to be on Hellmaster's side.
"...my name's actually Phibrizzo," he said quietly, "But don't tell anyone. Ever since Ze-er-HE showed up, I haven't been telling people it, 'cause I'm worried he'll find out I'm here. I don't know what to do, mister! Please help me!"

He looked the floor. "What should I do about him?"

Well, time to cry again. He latched onto Gremio once more and began to sob it out.
no subject
He sighed, closing his eyes. ... Suddenly, more than ever, he missed his Young Master.
no subject
"I'm happy to know you believe me," he said, smiling weakly, "But I won't feel any better so long as Mister Zelgadis is here."
He intentionally slipped the chimera's name into the conversation so it would seem he UNINTENTIONALLY did it. After all, what if Gremio ran across him? It would do no good to have him go in with an open mind...
"Do you really think I could make the other people here believe me over him? He's very good with words and I'm..." He looked down. "I never was the smartest."
no subject
... Yeah, best not to think too much on that now. "Now don't say that, alright?" he said, tilting the boy's chin up. "My Young Master used to say things like that all the time when he was your age. It's only true if you allow it to be."
no subject
He turned away from Gremio, looking worried. "I'm sorry, but it must be true. If I had been smarter, I might have been able to...s-save my parents."
