Library, Sunday

"So... where are the eggheads?"

Dante'd been fighting something out of a Japanese schoolgirl's nightmare out there. He'd been hoping someone was close to a solution. Instead the door was still closed, and... "Eight AM. I stayed up fighting shit until eight AM."

He nudged against the door and found it open. "'Kay then," he said, wandering inside. "Maybe there's some eggheads after all."

At the end of the day, magic and the like just wasn't Peridot's strong point. She was from a generation of Gems who relied more on technology than magic, was made to be a technician herself. So it was probably little wonder that she'd strayed from researching the magical aspects of the island's little weirdnesses and was sticking with what she knew best, today.

When she came across the red binder, she blinked, and then gasped.

"I have information on the machinery of the island," she announced, excited. "Details and maps and figures and--"

She opened the binder victoriously.

It was empty.

"... Okay. SOMEWHERE there are details, maps, and figures for the machinery of the island," she grumbled. "They appear to have gone missing."

"I didn't eat them!" Kuzco said defensively.

You know, just in case anyone had thought that he might've.

There was a long pause while Peridot side-eyed Kuzco.

Then: "Are they edible?"

Re: Research!

[notouchykuzco.livejournal.com]

"...probably not?" Kuzco replied. "I haven't tried eating books."

"Then why would you feel compelled to say that you haven't done so?"

Confusing organic people were confusing.

"Just...you know, nipping any lies in the bud?" Kuzco tried.

Kuzco honestly had no idea how he'd even gotten into the library.

Peridot paused and looked around.

"If you're hungry, there might be some scrap paper in the recycle bin," she offered. You know. Just in case.

Kuzco made a face. "I'm not eating paper. Think there's a sandwich here somewhere? I'm not going outside again. Pretty sure I saw a octopus in a tree and that's just not right."

Re: Research!

[era_two_triangle]

"... I don't know what a sandwich is. Or an octopus," Peridot shared. "There's... coffee? I think?"

There was always coffee. She never drank it. But it was there.

"Oooh," Kuzco said. "I don't have to share or anything, right?"

Re: Research!

[era_two_triangle]

"Well, I don't want any."

So Peridot really couldn't care less if Kuzco hoarded all the coffee to himself. He'd be the one dealing with the fallout, though.

She was such a great big sib.

"Great," Kuzco said, wandering over to the coffee pot.

...and that was a llama drinking straight from it. How classy, Kuzco.
