Day 30: Patient Library (Fourth Shift)

[jei.livejournal.com]

While he waited for his bulletin board correspondant, Farfarello perused the library's offerings once more. There was no sign of any of the books he'd requested in the suggestion box but he wasn't very suprised that this was the case--even if, by some chance, the Head Doctor actually intended to grant any of the reasonable requests it still would probably take more than a day for anything to happen. The wheels turned slowly, in institutions, and there was no reason for a fake institution to be any speedier than a real one.

For lack of anything better, Farfarello pulled down the Histories volume of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. A little Richard III would keep him diverted for a short while, anyway.

Zelgadis crossed his arms and leaned against one of the bookshelves, waiting to see what idiotic comment Mason would make next.

"Oh. Ok." Mason shrugged. He plucked the book out of Angel's hands and flipped through the pages - not that he could read them very well.

"This grim-ware thing, it a magic book?" the reaper asked. "You a magician or something, mate?" He snickered again, imagining the large man in those star-studded gowns. "You wear a dress with stars on, in the real world? Like Mickey Mouse does in Fantasia?"

Angel debated just walking away so he could actually do what he'd come here to do, but he wasn't sure if it would be worth the effort. The man would probably insist on following him. At least the other patient seemed content to not add to the conversation.

There were a few seconds of silence as he eyed Mason. "I've never seen Fantasia," he replied finally, deadpan.

Zelgadis looked between the two men, frowning,

"What is a Fantasia? And why do you think magicians where stars and pointy hats?"

This dimension was indeed very strange.
