Library, [10/24]

[furnaceface]

It was probably important to note here that Jonothon really didn't hate life, the universe, and everything. But when faced with the option of spending a day in the library hiding from the brunch, all full of people and space dolphins and food, he really had found himself deciding that it was his only option, thank you so very much.

And, once he'd done his usual duties for the day, he was going to spend the rest of his shift leaning back into a chair and reading a Douglas Adams book about some sort of holistic detective, just to get this weird urge to start decorating the place with bowls of petunias out of his system.

Bloody space dolphins.

"Lucky me then," she said, lips twitching. "'Cause I think where I want to break into needs more of that sort of thing."

Really, how many songs had she heard in Midgar about sunshine?

"And just because something has been sung before--that don't make it insincere another time, I don't think."

At this rate, Jonothon was going to work his way into a pretty powerful sulk.

//Learn to read music, Ino. I'll write you some bloody songs.// At least he could be useful while he was sulking.

She hadn't meant to make him sulk! But.

"Thank you," she said, quietly but sincerely. "I seriously appreciate it."

A beat.

"... I don't suppose the library has books that'd help me learn?"

//Down thataway,// he replied, gesturing without so much as looking. He made his way to the music books often enough, he pretty much had a built-in compass for such things. //Near the end. There's no shortage of them, really. And if you round th'corner, there should be some audio-books along those lines, too.//

She pushed away from the counter. "Is there anything else I should be doin' other than that right now?"

//Research th'local music scene,// Jono replied, not missing a beat. //Go to concerts. Show interst in it. Nobody wants to listen to an artist whose world begins and ends with herself.//

"Can do," she said, with a bit of a bounce. She had a direction! She had stuff she could do!

It was amazing how much better she could feel with a plan.

Now she just had to hope that Sophie approved of it.

"I'm going to go and--look," she said, "I'll come bug you if I need help."

Possibly because she'd try and take every book pertaining to this with her, yes.

Jono would loan her one of the book carts, if it came to that. Or at least help pick out some more pertinent titles.

//Best of luck, gel. You and your... bubblegum.//

Bloody bubblegum anyhow.

Bloody bubblegum that he'd volunteered to write for her.

This was so not her fault.

She grinned at him and bounced in the direction he'd pointed her at.
