Library [09/26]

[furnaceface]

There was music in the library today. It wasn't the same, loud, pervasive music that Jonothon normally opted to, however. Today it was almost like a whisper of music. Like a hundred little voices all joining together in song.

... Or, more accurately, the rustling of the pages of every book on the subject of music in the entire library, all rising up in glorious, but quiet, harmony.

They'd just finished Sound of Silence, and were moving on with Scarborough Fair when Jono came in, levelled that aisle with a look, and then shook his head and set to work shelving things. Occasionally, things that were singing at him.

Ah, Fandom.

"The books are in a good mood today," Raven remarked, listening to them as they walked. "So what is your favorite place to visit in London?"

//Th'pubs,// Jono replied, almost immediately. //Th'night life. Dance clubs and seedy bars you can hardly breathe in for smoke. I never did have much of an eye for landmarks. When it's home, it's just... something that happens to be there. Which doesn't mean I can't show you things like Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey, of course. All of those things that people talk about on this side of the ocean without even really caring what they are.//

"I do not know if 'seedy bars' would be the best place for a group of teenagers to go," Raven said, wrinkling her nose at the mention of smoke. She was still stuck in being the responsible one mode and wondering if they really should have a chaperon. "But a dance club might be fun."

Re: Talk to Jono!

Hey, if Raven didn't want to go to the seedy bars, Jono would be more than happy to wander into one on his own. Just for the atmosphere.

... Which he couldn't breathe. So it was even better than the last time he'd been in one, pretty much right off the bat. Only he wouldn't be stepping into it for a gig, either.

//You might enjoy one of those, yes,// Jono replied. //I happen to know of a few, unless time and different realities have taken their toll on th'city at large in that regard.//

Maybe on this Earth, he hadn't accidentally blown up his favourite club...

"I know as little about dancing as I do singing," Raven said. "But the others might enjoy it, and it is fun to watch the people." It was probably a liiiittle bit creepy to eavesdrop on their emotions, but she was just learning from them, really!

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

Really, eavesdropping on people's emotions probably wasn't much creepier than Jono's own still-developing ability to read minds, coupled with the fact that he still told almost everyone, ever, that he couldn't. Honest.

It probably helped, to some degree, that he couldn't actually eavesdrop unless he was actively trying. And he didn't want to actively try.

//Th'fun thing about clubs like those are, you get people of all types. Even ones who prefer to sit out,// Jono noted. //And it is fun to watch th'people. I know.//

Re: Talk to Jono!

Raven would tooootally trust Jono not to read her mind without permission. But she'd be blushing a lot more most likely.

"Then we shall have to make it a point of visiting one," she said. "Though we will have to see how much time we will actually have. I think we were considering a long weekend."

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//Well, we'll have to make it a busy weekend,// Jonothon decided. Which seemed, at least to him, like solution enough to a large number of problems, including but not limited to all of the things that there were to do, and all of the things that he'd need to be distracted from while doing them. //Whenever we do go.//

"I will speak to Jaime this week and decide upon a date," Raven promised. "I hope it will be soon. I am eager to see the city for real. The bridge was very lovely."
