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.

The frown deepened a touch at the mention of a barrier. He didn't doubt there was some kind of magic at work here, but without his own weapon, he was much too vulnerable.

His frown turned to a slightly surprised expression at the response to his question, however.

"Shinigami?"

Was that what he thought it sounded like? Malik's Japanese wasn't as good as his native tongue, but he knew enough to get by. He was actually just in Japan, in Domino City moments before he arrived here..

Rangiku nodded in response, glancing around at the others. Quite a few people knew by now, and it wasn't such a big secret in this place where everyone came from different worlds and realities. "A shinigami, a death god, I think is the closest translation. We guide spirits to the after life, cleanse spirits which have been corrupted and guard humanity. That's the basic jist of it."
