WHO: Patchouli, whoever else feels like showing up
WHERE: Places. You know. Basically wherever. A library is a good bet, though.
WHEN: Late Day 2-Early Day 3 I... think...
WHAT: Somehow it became possible to get this nerd to have a look around a city.

Patchouli emerged from the mansion in the middle of the night to unfamiliar surroundings. Apparently the city was so intent on dragging her in that it would give her nowhere else to go. Fine. She just wouldn't go anywhere, then, right?

Well, about that... For some reason ~~probably a blatant shoehorning in order to get her to go look around~~, the siren allure of other libraries drew Patchouli into the city. She also decided to explore everything available to her. What this means is that other people have many opportunities to interrupt her, and pretty much wherever -- but once she runs across an unfamiliar library, she might settle in for a while to read.

Libraries are a fantastic place to learn about human cities - not just their history but also what sorts of things the people there are interested in or value. Not to mention their literature...

Which is to say, Orias has his reading glasses on and has just finished devouring his third book about local history. Maybe now is time to move on to a different subject...

"Excuse me, may I look at that book when you're finished with it?"

"Certainly," she responded. "I'm just about through with it, so I'll make sure I get it to you when I'm done."

Saying this, she looked up to him to get a look at who she'd have to give the book to when she was done. Those pointed ears, the horns, the... relatively low amount of clothing...

Well, that certainly was interesting. She didn't meet a lot of demonic entities with an affinity for books.

Orias is a nerd even among demons. Maybe especially among demons.

"Thank you. There's so much to read here that I've never seen before, I hardly know where to begin."

"I simply chose something relatively at random and went from there," Patchouli admitted. Everything interested her, so it was a fairly effective method for someone like her, right?

"Not a bad method. I personally like to examine one area of study until I've become tired of it, and then move on."

"That, too, is quite effective. I simply use the approach I do because that is what I've become used to.

"I presume you're a voracious reader as well, then."

"Yes." Orias probably doesn't... quite realize the extent to which she is -- and considering her age...

"I spend most of my time reading, after all."
