It's the fucking library; Open, would like Kiyoko to make some actual friends so be forewarned; I'm probably going to ask you for a follow up or forty

Kiyoko nodded. Yep, he was definitely out of it. And then the Swiss guy (that accent was clearly not german) sat down, and started talking, and then Kira sat down and introduced herself, so Kiyoko obviously succumbed to the siege of peer pressure and sat down as well. She took the last seat at thet able of four chairs, sitting next to Charles. Hey, she actually kind of knew him, so it worked for her. Kiyoko put her hands in her lap, looking a bit awkward. Resting was fine, but she didn't even really know these guys.

"I'm, uh, Kiyoko Watanabe." She paused; was she supposed to say something else after that. "Uh... Yeah." Wow, that was horrible.

Charles dozed off, only to snap his head up when Kira kicked him. The healing energy brought him back to his senses a bit.

"Oh, yeah. Charles Oliviera still. All of you guys know me, I think. Kira, you work with me at the cafe, Seig is Seig, and I've talked to you quite a lot already, Kiyoko-san." said Charles, feeling a bit more perky. "This library is built more for sleeping than fucking in these chairs, despite how comfy they are."

Charles then looked to the diplomacy book Kira placed on the table, and zoned out. The cover looked nice. Hardcover. Good for things. Like. Stopping knives. And. Stuff.

Another shake of his head and a sigh, but this one was more cheerful, helped along by the grin on his face as he did so.

"Charles I really don't think the bibliothek is meant for either of those things, to be honest. It's a hallowed place of learning!" Seigfried stood up and spread his arms wide, trying to express just how hallowed the place was... then promptly started laughing and plopped back into his chair, leaning forwards to rest on his elbows propped on the table.

"Okay no, I can't say that as seriously as I'd like, I usually napped in the library back home too, to get away from the tutor for a while, aha... Oh!" He snapped his fingers and glanced around the table. "Everyone's doing introductions and I completely forgot! Seigfried Von Redenhiem, at your service~ But I digress, everyone is still looking a bit awkward around each other, so anyone have an idea for a ... what was it called... an Icecracker?"

Kira cracked a grin at the two boys' antics, though Siegfried raised a good point. She couldn't help but feel worried about Kiyoko, who was obviously feeling a bit awkward. "It's 'ice breaker', but yes. I have to admit, it's nice to see this place back on its feet after the fire." A change of subject to something relating to the girl's work not involving adolescent romance would probably help.

"As angry as he gets, the librarian is a good guy who's just trying to keep the place running. The only problem is that it's something that requires stability and calm in one of the most madcap places in the world." Kira nodded to herself. "Speaking of, if you don't mind me prying, why'd you pick the library as a part time job?" She turned to Kiyoko as she asked her question.

"I picked my job because there were only two available at the time that were in a reasonable distance from my apartment, and as much as I adore the idea of working at a movie theater-" or rather, used to, before she found out what the theater showed on 'special occasions'. She repressed a shudder at the memory. "There had been an incident there involving me that made me uncomfortable at the idea of taking the job so soon after it." Never DID figure out where that rain of chocolate and peanut butter came from.

"Pay turned out to be better than I thought, and the job was surprisingly not bad. Uniforms cover more than you'd think, most of the clientele are there for the sweets, and all my coworkers are pretty cool people." Kira grinned, knowing that just a few months prior she balked at the very idea of working there. With a sudden start, she realized she had been ranting on again, and directed hr gaze downward with a small blush. "S-sorry, got carried away there."

[guys can we just cut to the foursome already seriously

Yes, Kiyoko was awkward. Sitting at a table and talking with a bunch of people she didn't know kind of did that to her. She gulped, attempting to look as comfortable as she could as Oliviera (who she at least kind of knew) and Seigfriend (they had swiss people at the school?) talked about various things and switched between languages at random. And then Kira asked her a question and Kiyoko actually jumped. "Uh..." And then Kira talked. She talked a lot. Kiyoko wasn't completely sure when to answer until Kira apologized for talking to much.

She shook her head. "Er, no, it's fine, uh..." Kiyoko shrugged. "I picked this because I like... books. I guess." Wow, what a fabulous fucking answer. She would win a gold medal in speech for that. She blinked. "Oh, b-but I don't actually work here! I'm volunteering. I actually work at a book store for... the same reason. Basically."

Yep.

Charles laughed as Seig said biblothek. "Pardon, mon ami, the word is bibliotheque. But yes, an Ice breaker is good."

Charles raised his eyebrows when Kira rattled off the whole tale about the librarian and her work.

"Damn. That's a crazy story." said Charles. "Is that why you like books, Kiyoko? For crazy stories like what Kira told us?"

Oh dont worry it's coming

Seig chuckled at Kira as she launched into quite the monologue.

"My, that's quite the story Fraulien. Still, any job you enjoy even a little bit isn't so bad. It's something to pass the time, and fill your pockets with a bit of extra Geld, money. Still..." he chuckled before leaning back in his chair, relaxing easily "A Maid Cafe is quite interesting."

And then Kiyoko piped in with her award winning speech of an answer, eliciting a laugh from Seigfried, albeit a friendly one.

"Aaahhh, fraulien don't be ashamed! The love of books is as good a reason as any! After all, 'Love what you do, and you never work a day in your life' as the saying goes, ja?

Kira gave an embarrassed chuckle at the reactions her story had gotten. She turned her head to the side to hide her faint blush. Maybe you should have let her go first. With a quiet, polite cough, she turned back towards the others.

"Nothing wrong with liking books. It's fun to go to different places, and books let you go anywhere, anywhen, any time you want." She nodded. "I'm more of a movie buff, myself- bad movies especially- but I see the appeal." She stopped herself there, afraid of ranting again in front of the girl.

Kiyoko shrunk into herself, still not completely comfortable with the situation. She had a lot of explanations as to why she liked books, but instead of them coming out, the group ended up with this: "I, uh... yeah." Wow, she was even more awkward than usual, today. It was probably the fact that everyone at the table was not only not awkward, but also charismatic and also swiss, thirty three percent of the time anyway.

Then Mask Furai sat down at their table. In full costume.

He cleared his throat. "Hi, I'm, uh... Mask Furai. And I'm currently hiding. So, uh..." He held a finger up to his ask, making a 'shhhh' noise. It was remarkably unsubtle.

"Hey, no need to clam up. We don't bite." said Charles to the girl. Then a ninja sat down at the table, and cleared his throat.

"Hi Bob! Are you an alcoholic too?"
said Charles, giving Furai a seemingly dumb look. "Welcome to Alcoholics Anonymous!"
