Library [02/02]

Rory came in bright and early and smacked a poster on the door before positioning herself behind the desk as usual with her coffee.

She grabbed a stack of books, and spent the day deep in research - both her own personal problem, and for the problems with the shadows.

[I'm AFK most of the day, so please mod Rory if you need help with something. ~~Wait for~~ OCD is up and a little different today. ~~Please wait for further OCD on the specific research thread, as it will be coming later while I am unconscious and people in Europe are not.~~ That OCD is up, too! Whooooo!]

For those looking up the history, Cameron and Molly will have handwavily told you everything they know to help you along.

Ami sat down at the table, with a very very large and thick book. As she read through it, she took notes on her computer, and cross-referenced things.

Haruhi sat down near Ami, grabbing a book of her own to flip through it. History, huh? Well, that shouldn't be too hard, it was just a matter of finding the right specifics. Occasionally she would look up, but for the most part was determined to find what they needed.

Ami did not even notice anyone sat down next to her. She continued reading until she found her first reference to shadows. //Now we are getting somewhere. Hm ok, page 568// she muttered in Japanese.

Haruhi caught that fairly quick, with it being her native language. //"Found something?"// she asked, leaning over the table slightly.

Ami looked up to see who was talking. //maybe. Says here there for a while a long time ago people were thought to be disappearing into the shadows. Don't know yet if it is relevant but the year was 1460 or thereabouts if you want to see if your books say anything.//"

Haruhi nodded once. "We should switch to English in case anyone cares to overhear," she suggested, then looked back down at the books. "I was told that whatever caused this was a shadow-like creature, so you may want to look into that further."

Ami nodded. "You are right, i am sorry." She made a note. "We need to find out if this happened before, if it was the same way, and how it was stopped if it had." She sighed. "I am worried."

"No need to apologize," Haruhi assured, skimming over the pages in her book. "I can't seem to find anything that sounds related this this problem yet." She put a hand to her chin, silent for a moment before speaking up again. "At least you're taking this seriously. The ones I know this affected seemed to take it more lightly than they should."

"I am not sure how anyone can take this lightly. My roommate and my bo..." she stopped, blushed and amended what she was going to say "and my friend are becoming transparent and not there. IF we don't do something, they will disappear."

It wasn't hard to figure out what Ami was going to initially refer him as, going by her reaction, and Haruhi didn't see any point being embarrassed about it. However, now was definitely not the time to get into that subject. "Well, they don't seem to take much of anything serious to begin with." She shook her head with a slight eye roll. "With the amount of people showing up, I'm sure we'll gather enough to fix the problem. We just need to find as much as we can and share it with whoever needs it."

Ami nodded. "This is one of those times that i wish i had special mutant powers or something..." ami hated feeling helpless.

Haruhi's eyebrows raised. "You don't need those for this," she said firmly. "I've been fine without whatever freaky powers everyone else around here seems to have. You should just depend on what you can do already. No one's capable of everything."

Irulan nodded to the other researchers, "Have you found anything?"

"A little" Ami showed her the notes she had made so far.

"There have been attacks before?" Irulan asked, reading the notes. "But what's the cause and the origin? Why *now*?"

"I think Cameron said something about going into a cave. I am not sure. Maybe it is an ancient burial ground being disturbed or something?"

"Did he mention which cave?" Irulan asked, pulling out one book in particular.

"Serenity Cove? I think. But the name may have changed."

She frowned, taking note of this. "Thank you, I will look for any mention of Shadow creatures and Serenity cove."

Ami nodded. "And possibly the year 1460 or 1461."

She consulted Ami's notes. "It is the year you think it started, yes?"
