Week 1: Tuesday

[ercnerd]

[Perhaps she's just on her way past, but their paths cross outside of the library after the serial biting in Spring Dorm.]

Hey, Director. Here to visit the library now that it's no longer cursed?

[ambiography]

I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't better to just stay in the suite for now, but then again, it seems inescapable, so why not.

[it is Library Time, my dudes.]

[ercnerd]

Is it? That was my first time getting bitten by another student.

[For him, the suite's cursed.]

[ambiography]

Then you're just going to have to hope that remains the case.

[this is going to be so tiring WHO DID THIS. where is this curse from.]

If it lasts long, this is going to become an... interesting week.

[ercnerd]

If it's anything like the snacks, the compulsion should go away soon.

[He hopes so. It's a bizarre compulsion, but one that still compels people to act against their nature.]

Are you still figuring out the cause?

[ambiography]

I'm bearing it in mind. For the moment, there doesn't seem to be a clear link, if Mollymauk and I both had different results.

[thanks for outing that, molly, but at least it ruled something out.]

[ercnerd]

Since it's biting . . . maybe it has to be someone you don't like?

[ambiography]

No, that wouldn't be it.

[ercnerd]

Oh, then can it be someone you do like?

[ambiography]

Well, I certainly didn't mind their company, but then that fails to explain why the same urge wouldn't strike when with anyone else I enjoy spending time with.

[ercnerd]

Does that mean you've bitten someone?

[ambiography]

Only once. Which is odd, considering others have been... much less restrained.

[ercnerd]

Can I ask your thoughts on the person you bit?

[ambiography]

Where, exactly, are you going with this.

[sieghart.]

I don't believe my thoughts on them were much different from some of the others I've spent time with here.

[ercnerd]

Is that right? Then I'm out of ideas.

His Highness is a special case by virtue of his eccentricity. You're more straightforward, so I thought I'd examine your case to ascertain the cause.

[ambiography]

It isn't a bad idea, but trust me, I've tried to do the same. I don't view that person any differently.

[she just

she just hasn't thought about it literally at all. she's busy with being dimensionally trapped in a murderschool.]

[ercnerd]

If you say so.

[He respects her enough to take her word for it.]

Well, I'm going to read some comic books now. Care to join me?

[ambiography]

I didn't expect that to be your preferred genre.

[every day we learn about sieghart!]

I might pass on the comics, but I suppose I wouldn't mind sticking around.

[ercnerd]

[He opens the door to the library and beckons her inside.]

They're the best kind of books. If it were up to me, I'd lie down and read them all day instead of attending classes.

[ambiography]

[she follows! it's library time.]

What do you like so much about them?

[ercnerd]

What isn't there to like?

Even if the material is the same, there's something about art that brings a story to life. They're easy to read, and they're not limited to a set genre. They're a versatile medium!
