[ The library was a very much sought after place for Five. There really wasn't a moment where he was at peace unless alcohol was running through his bloodstream, and even then, it was debatable if he was really at peace.. besides being found conked out on the side of the street. Only then it was certain.
He had a mission to dissect as many books as he possibly can, but between his own coffee breaks and meeting up with potential "underlings" as he liked to call them, he was finding he was lacking time to do everything he wanted to do in the library.
Imagine that. A time traveler lacking time.
The shaky leg does definitely get his attention, but only because it's very akin to his own restlessness, fingers rapping repeatedly on the end of the book he was looking at. Quantum Physics & You, which was already boring him to death from being so elementary. He finally shut the book and clenched his jaw, shoving it aside with some kind of mutter. ]
Children's play.
[ He finally casts a glance to the young looking man across the table. He hadn't seen him in these parts.. which only indicated a new arrival which also held the potential for more knowledge. Keito looked like a teenager, maybe with not much life experience in Five's eyes, but it was worth reaching out to. ]
I don't know what you're looking for, but I might could help you.
[ Or you know, direct the teen elsewhere. He knows this place up and down at this point. ]
[ Five's muttering doesn't get Keito's attention, but his sudden offer does. Keito looks, leg falling still as a thoughtful expression crosses his face. After a moment of thought, he closes his own book - something about meditation. ]
You might. Are you from a planet called earth, by any chance?
What's left of it, yes. [ Sorry. He just talks like this sometimes. ]
There's a likelihood we're from the same Earth, just different time lines, but also a likelihood we aren't. I'm assuming you want assistance with something having to do with Earth on a broader spectrum?
Actually, he doesn't want to know - not right now, at least. He'll ask later, maybe once he's figured out why Five talks like he's a lawyer and not a middle schooler. ]
More or less. I've already noticed some similarities between this place and earth since arriving. I was wondering if you knew of any works that either explore or catalogue any other commonalities between the two.
