this ain't a scene

Ok, I think that takes care of just about everything. I've talked to the people I need to talk to. Made the arrangements that I need to make. Just in time too. And... supplies, yeah all set with those too. I'll have to make sure they're all together. No need to wind up forgetting something or leaving it behind. This needs to be perfect.

Now, if I can just get out of the library in the next few minutes, then there should be no problems what so ever. Oh man that's a big if though. Heh. This is what I get for concentrating on other things for the week, instead of keeping up with the reshelving and cataloging. Ah well, whatever doesn't get finished can wait until I'm in again. Most of these books aren't going anywhere. And the ones that theoretically could walk off under their own power? Those ones are secured where they need to be. Ha.

Hmm... that's just strange... No, I must've read it wrong....

That doesn't even make any sort of sense...

Princess, I'm not sure I'll be home tonight...

You have got to be kidding me. This is a total mess. It'll take days to repair the shelves and sort and reshelve the books. Stupid akuma. It's been so quiet lately too. Just my luck trouble comes looking for me where there's lots of stuff to break. It couldn't have happened outside. Blah. I let it get the jump on me too. That's not acceptable. I shouldn't be so complacent.

Well this mess isn't going to clean itself. I'll get to it after I run by the infirmary. No sense bleeding on perfectly good volumes of literature. Ugh I'm getting sloppy.

Allennnnn, I'm having a bad day. ;_; I'm going to need a backrub or something after all of this.

Ok... really, if you're going to make out in the library, at least find some place deep enough in the shelves that the poor librarian won't stumble across you and create what amounts to a very awkward situation for everyone involved. Or, you know, find some place that isn't the library to make out. Man I feel like a hypocrite with this one... ahaha...ha...ha. Really. Kids these days.

Ah well. I've got some work to finish, so I'll be at the library well into the night tonight.

On another note, Valentine's Day is coming up. I've got some planning and thinking to do.

I'm having one of those nights. I just can't seem to fall asleep. I don't know why. It's not like there's all that much on my mind. Compared to other times I mean. Heh. Anyway, I couldn't just lie in bed anymore, so I guess I'm up for a while. I don't think I woke Allen though, which is good. Just because I can't sleep doesn't mean he shouldn't get his rest. I could go read for a while. That'll at least take up some time... There's definitely enough books around here. I really ought to do some cleaning up. Heh. I'm sure I'm a pain to live with because of it.

You know, for once I don't feel all that much like reading.

Maybe I'll go for a walk, see if that clears my head. It's pretty cold out though. I guess that's what coats are for.

How could I have not found this book before?

Ow. Princess, did I do something to make you upset at me? I mean, I know you were sleeping, but subconsciously or something.... either way... ow.

I need to start tackling some major work around the library. There are too many books in the wrong sections. I think I should recruit some help for this. Yes, definitely. I need an assistant or three. Hahaha. But oh well, I'll start it and see where it goes. Then there's the backroom as well. That one I definitely need to tackle alone.

But work can wait for tonight. I have other work to do. I need a vacation.

It's good to be home.

Sometimes I hate this place.

I have work to do. Real work.

I'll be in the library, if anyone is looking for me.

[Lavi likes the journal. It appeals to something deep inside him, the simplicity and complexity of it. The idea of chronicling this thing that they're going through is more than just something appealling, it's a need, a deep-seeded one that he can't quite deny. He's taken Allen's place as sentry, as he'd promised he would, after dragging the other boy off and seeing him to sleep. His hammer is out of its holster, enlarged just slightly. One foot is propped up on the business end, the long handle cradled in the crook of his arm. He's wary, vigilant.]

The sky hasn't changed. Everything feels so isolated, as though we've been picked up and pulled out of the world. It's best that some people got out of here, some certain people. The supervisor at the very least. Hevlaska.

These things are growing more numerous it seems, but for now the music hall is a safe place. It's amazing how it's managed to accomodate anyone. Something is strange about that as well. I wish I could talk to the Old Man about this. He'd have some better idea of what this is, maybe, if anything like this has ever happened before. But I don't remember ever reading anything at all like this in any of the books I've read, here or at the Order.

I don't like it. Any of it.

Princess, you'd better be sleeping.

Allen?

Princess? If I asked you to do something ridiculous, would you humor me?

How useless. Can't say what's wrong, but they can recommend the most boring treatment ever. I've been resting enough. Really. This is just stupid.

Princess, I think I'm feeling better. What do you say to watching a movie?

I'm so tired.... Guess I'm going to skip work again tomorrow. I'm sure things'll carry on without me, right? Right. No problems. Going back to bed. Everything hurts. Maybe it's time for the doctor... Or maybe I'll just rest a little bit more.

It's going to take me forever to go through that room. It's a mess. But I got a good portion of it logged in and put away today. Granted, I got distracted by a book or two here or there, but I was working. Mostly working.

I shouldn't be this tired though. I think it.... I'm going to call it an early night. A real early night. How lame. Maybe I'm coming down with something.

Chronicled. Every last bit of it that I observed, save for the personal. That belongs in another book, which I should also write in. Another dark page in that. If it weren't for all the good in between, I'd think we were doomed by bad luck and ill fate.

But there is good. Lots of it. Don't you agree, Princess? IN FACT, I've got an idea for another chapter. Might be a lot of fun, what do you say?
