[u][center][b]Saturday, Early Noon, Tenguu City Public Library right near the concert[/b][/center][/u] "Ok, let's go over this one more time, alright?" "Ok." "Do you have [i]The Great Gatsby[/i]?" "No." This lively bit of conversation was taking place within Tenguu City's very own public library. To put it in descriptive terms...well it was a library. And frankly, no one should have been wasting their precious time in such a place on a warm summer day. Even so, two young individuals were currently conversing in this literary establishment despite these widely known facts. One of them, the actual receptionist who checked out the books for her customers, was a short pale girl. Pale was certainly a way to put it, as her hair was a pure white while her eyes reflected orbs of a purplish-red shade. She wore the standard uniform of proud Raizen High School...which wasn't much to brag about really. Likewise, her conversation buddy was another student from another school with dark brown hair and a cynical nature about him. In all, this was a pretty average day for Reika Kuroki. "Ok, well do you have [i]any[/i] classical literature in stock?" Reika shook her head. "No." "Jeez, what kind of librarian are you?" The boy sighed. "Do you at least have any light novels?" "We do." "Wait...you're serious?" "I am." "Do you have [i]Date A Live[/i]?" Reika titled her head slightly. "I've never heard of that one before. What is it about?" The boy stared at her wide-eyed. "You're...kidding right? Never mind." "Sir, Tenguu City Public Library has a wide variety of published works made to see fit for entertaining, enlightening, and educating our readers. As such, if we fail to deliver a satisfactory experience, please fell free to file a complaint to our manager and we will gladly-" "Do anything you can to insure my happiness. Right, I got that the first thirty times..." "Is that all sir?" "Yeah, I guess I'll just go by the manga shop down the corner then." "Very good sir. Have a nice day and please come again," said Reika robotically. As he turned to exit the front door, he couldn't help but glance back at the seemingly emotionless girl. "You know, you remind me of someone I know. Are you an alien?" Reika fixed an unblinking stare on him. "An...alien, sir? No." Well, Spirits were technically aliens, but probably not in the sense the boy was thinking of. "...never mind. Sorry to bother you." With that being said, the boy left the library to no doubt experience more strange things in his long lifetime. But that was another story entirely. Having finally received the time alone to herself, Reika mentally went over her observations of the boy. He had an uncanny presence about him, but he seemed to be telling the truth, albeit bluntly. "You...shall not be judged." The Spirit known to humans simply as Reaper turned her head to observe the bustle of activity outside taking place a mere two feet away from her precious sanctuary. A concert was being held today for some reason; she heard about the event from her homeroom students. She didn't think they'd actually hold the thing so close to her existence...humans were strange. Most of them feared her power, and yet they will found time to separate that fear and convert it into joy? Reika did not understand. Didn't humans realize that they were all destined to die? Meet her in their final moments? To meet Death incarnate? Often, the Spirit wondered why she didn't just cause a Space Quake and deliver them all painlessly. In fact, what was stopping her from doing that now? She could do it. Would anyone stop her? Probably. But the loss of life...it would at least assist in her cause. Her mission. Her purpose in life. And yet... Something didn't seem right. Seeing all those smiling faces...Reika hesitated, finally opting to not go through with the decision. It didn't feel right to cause something like that with so much destruction at this kind of event...humans were so confusing. Frowning to herself, Reika directed her blank stare out the window to watch the concert develop. Silent as a stone.
