[Taking the kitty back! And she'll step aside too, so Lavi can come in.]
All cats can, actually! But they do get training in how to communicate it better to humans. Right now Kitty just gets scared and hisses, but if she goes through a training program she'll be able to lead us right to any trolls she smells.
Anyway she will close the door so she can let Kitty down without her hopping away out the door. Kitty is immediately back at the door meowing at it.]
Yeah! It's Hana. We get along pretty well already, so I think this is going to turn out alright for us. Though I think I would have gotten along with most people here.
[Things she is not saying: there are some people she would not have gotten along with at all.]
Oh, Popcorn! He looks very cute, hopefully he's a good roommate.
[Tuuri out here loving all these pets. But she does go 'ehe' at that compliment.]
It helps that pretty much everyone here is agreeable. Some are quiet, but I haven't really spoken to anyone who is purposefully mean. Just...some strange people, that's all.
Not quite a poet, or at least I've never written poetry. The work Skalds do is more about preserving knowledge and making sure the Old World isn't lost to time. Most of the time it's just transcribing old books that are close to crumbling away, but sometimes we get to go out and record information ourselves!
[It's clear which part of the job Tuuri likes more.]
But everyone calls us nerds who get buried in books too much. It's not anywhere close to 'cool' or 'mysterious'.
[he smiles at that, he figured tuuri would definitely have read his profile. Because he absolutely would have to. Is it too soon to think that they're similar? Probably, and yet]
It's similar.
"The Bookman are a clan dedicated to recording history in its truest form. For that purpose, the Bookman is sent to observe the parts hidden from the rest of the world." We preserve history from books too, though we also have to see it with our own eyes.
[Tuuri has read ALL the profiles, she wants to know about the others in hell.]
That sounds so much more fun than just copying books down. I wasn't able to go out into the world until just recently. I've been stuck at desks for most of my working life!

How about you?

Date: 2023-02-06 12:23 am (UTC)[why did so many pets commit crimes.... he flashes Tuuri and amused look though,]
I think it'd take a lot for you not to get along with someone.

Date: 2023-02-06 12:42 am (UTC)Well...there's this one guy, I don't know if you've seen him yet or not. He's got red hair and an eyepatch and it seems really mysterious!
no subject

Sounds pretty cool to me. History's a part of us all, even if lots of people don't think that way. And not just anyone can preserve it.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-06 12:22 pm (UTC)[She is absolutely a nerd, but she likes Lavi more now because he's agreeing with her.]
I figured 'Bookman' was another name for Skald, when I saw your page on the little rectangle device.

Date: 2023-02-07 02:30 am (UTC)[She trails off there, and she glances away with a gaze that looks a little on the regretful side.]
I just wish I'd had more time to enjoy it.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-07 03:50 am (UTC)Yeah... Me too.
[...then he leans to the side, knocking her shoulder with his,]
That's history for ya. No matter how much we want to be a part of it -- it'll eventually move on, with or without us.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-07 04:18 am (UTC)I suppose it hasn't moved on entirely, since we're all here now. It's just a different history to record, yeah?
[The history of hell...]

'Hell, Satan's Parties, and other Events', written by Tuuri and Lavi, an official collaboration between Skald and Bookman. How's that sound?

Date: 2023-02-07 12:17 pm (UTC)[She appreciates it, really.]

Date: 2023-02-07 03:56 pm (UTC)Think you could sniff out the demons for us, Kitty?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-08 12:39 am (UTC)[That might be a yes?]
I'm sure she will. She puffs up in fear every time she smells one.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-08 12:45 am (UTC)Aww, don't worry. They're not that tough for a bunch of demons.
