[madamdirector]

I'm afraid the library was destroyed, but I do have some journals if you're interested in learning more about the history of the city.

oh no. i'm sorry.

[substances]

you read for fun?
man if only my bro ben was here u would get along gr8
supernerds unite

she did this to herself

[madamdirector]

[ Oh. He's one of those. ]

Yes, it's a shame. I take it that's a no on the journals, then.

[substances]

[Sadly yes.]

is there nething cool in them?

[madamdirector]

I wouldn't say nothing cool.

[ Sadly she's not even willfully misinterpreting his shitty textspeak here. ]

There are a lot of existentially horrifying monsters who have attacked people in the colosseum, if that's your thing.

[substances]

ok

i mean itd remind me of my brother but thats a good thing

y not? maybe getin a little blood flowin 2 the old cranium mite do me sum good

[madamdirector]

Your nerd brother is also a monster?

I'll pick out the most action-filled volumes, then.

[substances]

yeah of the existentially horrifying variety even

thx ur a real pal :)

[He's even being serious.]

[madamdirector]

[ Honestly, she can't tell if he means any of it or not. So she's just gonna roll with it. ]

You're quite welcome.

[ And then there's a pause. ]

I will need them back, eventually. Unharmed.

[substances]

[Her and basically everyone else.]

thats fine i have never harmed a book in my life

[Except that time he threw his dad's priceless journals in the dumpster. Or graffitti'd in his schoolbooks, or any other of the countless times he's harmed books.]

[madamdirector]

[ Hmm sounds fake. ]

Really? I wish I could say the same.

Would you like to swing by and pick them up? There's no rush, of course.

[ Probably he's just being polite, or will forget this conversation in five minutes. ]

[substances]

[Totally fake.]

yeah im a total saint

sure. where are you?

[madamdirector]

Imported housing, building 4-3. We can meet somewhere else, though, if you're concerned about getting lost.

[substances]

uh think i've wandered by there before. ill head out now

[madamdirector]

All right. I'll see you soon.

[ Responsible as always, she goes immediately to her journals, starting to page through to determine which might the most engaging to someone with what she assumes is a shorter-than-usual attention span. ]

i can't believe lucretia is going to murder klaus soon over a book

[substances]

awesome

[Anything to take his mind off cravings and Dave and everything going on now, to be honest.]

klaus Do Not

[madamdirector]

[ Yeah, okay, so maybe she's pulling out the books that a) contain some good action sequences and b) she can afford to lose. It's a precaution she's glad she took when he comes into view and she opens the door to meet him. Something about the eyes. ]

Hello, um. [ She's going to be extremely rude here and pull out her phone to double-check his post. ] Klaus?
