🧙 WHO: Rei Amayado & Anyone
⚔️️ WHAT: A research stint at the library, or Fear Cave Crystal Conquering
🕒 WHEN: Mid January
🗺️ WHERE: Camelot Public Library & Brave of Soul cave
⚠️ WARNINGS: none ATM. Possible later: language, vague hospital-oriented trauma mentioned (as part of the greatest fear trial)
[Camelot's public library is pretty fancy, in keeping with the royal capital's image. Full of traditional effects like ceiling-tall book stacks and modern amenities like a little cafe, it houses resources for any kind of patron.
While not usually one to step foot in a library, Rei is currently situated at a table tucked away between some of the stacks on the main floor. Using the extant troll quest as explanation, he has commandeered two laptops from the circulation desk (and from some very grateful librarians-- that lewd-spamming troll has been making their lives pretty difficult), and is busy typing on one while the other stands by with an auto-refreshing feed of some kind.
He's also got several books pulled from the shelves and stacked in a few piles beside him. AOL: A Founding History and FaySQL Queries for Mere Mortals are probably programming-related in some capacity, but some others are more broad: Dark Magic and its Nomenclature: A Dissertation on Language, On The Origin of Magical Species, Revised Hexes: A Primer... and it looks like there's a manga volume buried in there, too. He looks like a college student during finals week (although perhaps more well-rested).
Should you pass by looking for a seat, Rei will look up with a smile (and a wink if he knows you) and scoot his stuff aside to make room.]
Oh, 'scuse me.
i. outside
[Rei has made his way to Albion's White Cliffs, intent on entering the eerie cave said to hold the mirror-required crystals. Rei looks ready enough, though his familiar, a large hou-ou with trailing tailfeathers, is perched on a branch nearby with an expression that can only be described as disdainful.
That cave is dark, partly magicless, and most of all dirty. She is NOT going in there, moral support be damned.
Tossing the flashlight in his hand idly, Rei sighs up at the bird.]
All right, princess. You stay there. But if the crystals are nice enough, I'm keeping them instead of handing 'em over.
ii. inside
[The cave IS, in fact, very dark, and the ground damp and cold with seeping seawater; it's a perfect location for a test of nerves. Rei counts himself lucky that he picked up a normal flashlight instead of a magic-powered one; it very well may have shut off once he hit the magic-damping section. Rei is TOO OLD to spend any amount of time wandering around blind in a cave.
Should he encounter someone on his way in, Rei will greet them-- though his smile may be a bit hard to see without the flashlight on it.]
If two people go in at once, do you think the illusion will show some god-awful fear combo?

😇!!!!!!!!!!!
Of a kind-- as much as it pains me to just do as we're told here, heh. [His thumb runs idly up the corner of one of his volumes.] And yourself?
that emoji is up to No Good
gentaro’s smile remains perfectly affixed as he lifts his hands up into the air. )
Planning treason, of course.
( there’s a lie somewhere in there.
his gaze drops to the collections of books near rei. ) I can’t quite make out the titles. Would you do the honors? ( instead of, y’know, asking if he minds announcing what he’s reading. )
no subject
By all means. [Rei lifts the book he's got propped open under one hand.] On Trial: A History of Dark Magic Indictments. Might help you with your treasonous aims, if you want to borrow it.
no subject
( is it? is it really? is there ever a coincidence with him? or just them in genera. questionable. )
I have to wonder why it’s in your hands. Are you interested in becoming a magical prosecutor?
no subject
Have you seen the quest board lately? Some fairy's calling for murder on there. [the Selkie, he means.] I want to see just how much their sense of justice.... deviates from ours, I suppose. Seems important to know what they do consider unacceptable, if we're going to be stuck here.
no subject
It is interesting, the clashing of morals and ideas. I regret that I haven’t had too many conversations with the locals, but... ( he trails off on purpose as he oh so casually picks up a book with a title of How to start a Campfire. hmmmmmmmmm. )
I do hope you haven’t had any unwanted confrontations?
no subject
So far, so harmless. [well, mostly. those bridge trolls could have been trouble but rei had
a decoyASSISTANCE] All these magic creatures are treated either as average pests or extremely finicky neighbors, seems like. Sentience notwithstanding.no subject
I wonder why that is. ( it’s more of a hypothetical than anything else, really. )
Do you think they’re waiting until our defenses are lowered? ( it’s a very broad question, very vague, and said with the most calm of expressions. )
