[The bibliophiles who frequent the library nearly 24/7 may notice an unusual addition to their numbers. Especially since despite being in a library surrounded by books that could go up in flames rather easily, he doesn't stop smoking. Ever. Not even the two cigars at once. And any protests about this will generally be met with a steely glare and impervious silence. For a while he was trying to get info on magic, but since these books tend to be more highly sought after and Smoker wasn't having much luck with it, he's currently hoarding a small stockpile of books on politics, military tactics, history, and apparently crime novels -- about which he has a grip to ask (quietly) out loud into the journal.]

Is it possible to have gone through all the mystery novels in this place?

And does anyone have something with more actual mystery to it? These are pretty weak. Damn what I wouldn't give for a daily newspaper.

Patchouli Knowledge.

Patchouli? I'm a friend of Kohaku. I've been meaning to say hello for a while.

I'm Smoker. Nice to finally meet you.

[1week-warlock.livejournal.com]

I see. I'm told I'm normally female, so I apologize if this meeting is not what you expected.

[justicereigns]

Aha, that explains it. It's fine -- uh... wait. Why aren't you right now?

[1week-warlock.livejournal.com]

I imagine the same reason that Kohaku is currently a human female.

[justicereigns]

Right. Damn Malnosso antics.

Well, either way, it's nice meeting you. Whatever the circumstances. She speaks quite highly of you.

[1week-warlock.livejournal.com]

... I'm honored she thinks that way. It's a pleasure to meet you, Smoker.

[justicereigns]

You as well. I'm glad you treat her so well.

[Because otherwise, there'd be words. And Smoker talks with his fists.]

[1week-warlock.livejournal.com]

... Yes. Well... Have a good read, then.

-Just gonna kind of... back away.-

[justicereigns]

Yeah thanks.

[Probably should have been less scary, but then Smoker wouldn't be Smoker.]
