Who: Lavi and you! (One closed prompt for Niles a.k.a deniles)
What: Lavi goofing off and possibly trying to get some sort of work done
When: June 10-11
Where: The Library and the Near Shore, Odin's Temple
Warnings: Niles is his own warning label.


1. Let’s Shop Till We Drop (The Near Shore)

[Money.

Lavi isn’t too surprised that there was still something out there that would require actual payment to buy stuff. It’s unfortunate, too, since Lavi’s been eying a nice-looking scarf that’s practically screaming his name.

Going out to the Near Shore was new to him, too, since Lavi’s sure that it’s too dangerous to get too close to the humans.

But right now: he needed to find some way to get money if he wanted to buy that scarf.

Guess it’s time to do a little job hunting.]

2. Learning From Our Gods (Library | Far Shore)

[Anyone who has seen Lavi’s latest post on the network would easily be able to find the redhead in the library, scanning through every book that he can get his hands on.

It’d be a surprise for anyone to see piles of books surrounding him.

Lavi’s currently hiding behind a wall of books he made, scraps of papers surrounding him as he jots down notes.

Anyone who ventures close enough would see that it’s just books on general history, countries, and even some languages.

Too bad someone will need to find a way to actually call his attention, though.]

3. A Date with a Stranger (Odin's Temple | Far Shore) (Closed to Niles)

[The tenth. Odin's temple, 8 pm. Don't be late.

It was the text that savidicus had sent him, arranging their 'date' so to speak. Lavi's not sure if he even wants to call it a date, but his curiosity was piqued and he wanted to meet this other shinki.

What's even better was Lavi's lack of knowledge if there was any sort of special protocol for entering another god's territory, but he couldn't let the man wait now, could he?

A quick scan as he tries to pinpoint anyone out before he calls out:]

Savidicus?

[Good news: Chikusa isn't interested in getting Lavi's attention.]

[Bad news: he's absolutely, with no shame whatsoever, reaching over to filch one of those history books Lavi is looking into. Namely the one on Italy.]

[lostinshadows]

[What is with you people and trying to take his book, prod it, or knocking books on top of him?

But when he sees that hand, Lavi pulls back a bit in order to look at Chikusa.]

...Need something?

[kokuyoyo]

[Because Heaven is full of rude fuckers, Lavi.]

[But oh- he’s been noticed. Chikusa pauses briefly.]

That book.

[Obviously.]

[lostinshadows]

[Rude.

Lavi looks far from pleased, though.]

You could've just asked.

[kokuyoyo]

Is it yours?

[Drawled out dully.]

[lostinshadows]

Reaching over someone to grab a book isn't exactly polite either.

[kokuyoyo]

Well, I wasn’t really interested in being polite….

[Points for honesty?]

[lostinshadows]

[...Points for that, but at least Lavi's kind enough to hand the book over to him.]

Here.

[kokuyoyo]

[Accepting the book, he promptly opens it and starts to go through it curiously. ]

….What were you looking into it for?

[lostinshadows]

Just to read.

[A grin.]

You might find something more useful that I will.

[kokuyoyo]

We’ll have to see…

[Chasing after ideas of what he might know are such a tiresome thing. Perching on the nearest surface that can function as a seat, he starts to flip through it.]

At least something at all was found in this mess…

[lostinshadows]

[Chikuso, there are actual chairs for you to use.]

Took me a while to comb through everything that looked remotely interesting or useful.

[kokuyoyo]

[Okay but consider no]

It can hardly be called a library that way. It’s more… a dumping ground.

[lostinshadows]

[There's a light huff, more about the fact that it's true than anything else.]

It's a damn shame no one here takes good care of it.

[kokuyoyo]

You'd think someone would try after this long....

[After all, this is a library on the Far Shore- if this thing is less than at least a few decades old, he'll be genuinely shocked.]

[lostinshadows]

You wouldn't be up for helping me sort this out, would you?

[He stares at the mess.

While Lavi could admit to being a mess maker himself, there's just one thing you don't do with books and it's putting them out of order.

It's irksome.]

[kokuyoyo]

[While that would be very helpful in the long term.... Chikusa adjusts his glasses.]

It would take months...

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi grins slightly.]

Well, we are in the afterlife [he refuses to call it 'Heaven'] so I think we have enough time in the world.

[kokuyoyo]

Time we could be using for other thing.

[Another sigh, but he shakes his head.]

I wonder if we could bully a god of knowledge into helping clean this up....

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi laughs a bit.]

Is there even a god of knowledge around here?

[kokuyoyo]

There's Athena.... That much is certain.

[And she counts, right?]

[lostinshadows]

We can always try asking.

[But will they succeed is another question.]

[kokuyoyo]

I guess.... but who are you, again?

[That moment when you remember introductions didn't even happen.]

[lostinshadows]

Oh, right.

[A smile.]

My name's Lavi, and yours?

[kokuyoyo]

Kakimoto Chikusa... to Hestia.

[So, a vague pantheon connection to the Athena he'd mentioned, although he doubts she's much interested in keeping up the familial connections of the Greek gods.]

There might be other gods related to knowledge.... but I haven't bothered to learn about other pantheons outside my own god's...
