[a sigh]

I refuse to let that be my fate. I don't care how hopeless it seems, I'm going to create my own path and not let that be me.

If only it wasn't easier said than done.

[Allen is in the library, sitting at a table with several books around him. Most of them are on the subject of different types of demons in various worlds, possessions and types of exorcisms. He seems very focused, paging and reading through one as Timcanpy sits on his shoulder, peering down at it. When he reads a certain passage, his face makes a disgusted expression]

All right, that's...rather...disgusting...

[peers at them curiously]

Something interesting in 'em?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Ah...just stuff about Exorcists in other worlds. I got curious.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

You mean the holy water and all that kinda exorcists?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[He nods] Yeah.

It's...strange stuff.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Good thing we don't have to do anything like that, huh?

[reaches for one of the books]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Mm. Using Innocence seems much easier and more effective than any of this stuff.

[Lets him take it, watching while shutting the book he's currently reading]

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

[opens it and turns a few pages]

Yeah... Wonder how many of these things actually work for those other exorcists.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I don't know...I've never actually met another type of Exorcist so I could ask. Demon fighters, but not Exorcists.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Demon fighters? What kinda methods do they go with?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Anyway, maybe one of those other ones is gonna turn up here someday, right?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

From what I've heard, weapons mostly.

Maybe! Then we could ask them how it works for them.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

So those're probably more popular... Could depend on the demons they've got in their worlds, too, I'm guessing.

[puts the book back on the table]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Maybe, some do seem really complicated. I mean sometimes they sound more like a cooking recipe than a way to defeat things.

[With a sigh, he rests his head against his arms on the table ]

[laughs]

Who knows, maybe they actually based 'em on something like that to sound like they really know what they're doing.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

You read through all of those, Allen?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[an amused sound at that idea] That's possible...

No, not yet. I'm just taking a short break.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Good idea. Eyestrain's pretty bad, and so's cramming a ton of information in all at once, I bet.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Mm, and most of this stuff barely makes any sense.

[a sigh]

How are you, Ravi?

[drops his hand on Allen's shoulder]

Well, you've got plenty of time to keep reading some other time, right?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Me? I'm doing fine, Allen. I signed up at the Pie Hole and ran into Rinali. You saw her, right?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Glances up at him]

Yeah, that's true.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Mm, I saw her...this place seems to like turning her into a child.

What do you mean you signed up at the Pie Hole?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Think we gotta do pretty much the same thing we did last time round? She sounded kinda worried we were gonna "make her go back".

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

I'm a new waiter there. You wanna drop by sometime?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

From what she's told me before, I'm not too surprised by that...
