[...he immediately pulls a face]

...Great.

[WELL... THAT'S GREAT...]

So it is important, but we can't do anything about it.

[recession]

I'm not sure about important, but I think it would be best to leave it be.

[ AND THEN NOBODY LET IT BE. Daan is going to yell into a paper bag if everyone else keeps stealing it because he made it go missing for half a day first. ]

Not good to mess with the unknown, especially the more runes it's covered in.

[bookpapers]

[IT'S FINE DAAN THINK OF IT AS A PUBLIC LIBRARY]

I took a look at it earlier, but Lucas made me put it back. I guess I owe him...

[recession]

[ A public library that curses people and deserves to get boarded up... ]

It doesn't seem to have any ill effects in terms of purely looking inside the building itself -- just removing it from the premises makes the forces cranky.

It'd be nice to be able to at least decipher if it's worshipping a local god here, but I can't read it...

[bookpapers]

Same here. It's not like any alphabet I've seen.

[he looks a little disgruntled at this]

Maybe it's got to do with the Sabbatic Goat on those stained glass windows? Maybe it's about Baphomet.

[recession]

A god in your world?

[ Who That. ]

[bookpapers]

Kinda. A god, false idol, demon -- depends on who's using 'im. The whole goat thing's recent -- drawn by a guy named Éliphas Lévi. According to him, it's a symbol of balance between good and evil.

But before that, it was just propaganda that people from the Church accused their enemies of worshiping. Three heads with three faces, said to grant wealth to its believers. Sometimes a cat?

[recession]

[ Oh. He makes a bit of a face at the last part. ]

Cats... they're not often good news...

Guess goats are a little bizarre too.

[bookpapers]

[DAAN?]

...Do you not like cats?

[recession]

...

Not really...

[bookpapers]

[...]

What about cat girls?

[recession]

...

Do you mean Miss Izutsumi...?

[bookpapers]

So you’ve met her already… How’d that go?

[recession]

I was startled, but it isn't as if I've got something against her specifically.

[ There's something here that's kind of like... well... he's a little embarrassed. ]

[bookpapers]

…Did she take her clothes off in front of you?

[what other possible reason could he have to be embarrassed]

[recession]

[ Do you think about words before they come out of your mouth, my good sir? ]

O-of course not! Why would she do that?

[bookpapers]

[LISTEN YES HE DOES]

I don’t think she cares about nudity like we do.

[guess who had to see her take her clothes off]

[recession]

[ He scoffs a little in the way he's trying to regain his composure. ]

That's fine, I'm not a stranger. But that's not why -- I've nothing against Miss Izutsumi.

[bookpapers]

[seeing Daan get flustered is actually kind of funny…]

So what made you all embarrassed?

[recession]

...

I overreacted a little upon seeing her. I thought she was something else and it made a bit of a terrible misunderstanding.

[bookpapers]

[DAAN....]

Oh, yeah, we've had a few mix-ups too.

[he nods, understanding completely...]

Yuu tried to kill Karlach cause he thought she was an Akuma, and Hill tried to kill Yuu cause he thought he was part of an evil Order.

[don't assign daan trying to kill izutsumi]

[recession]

...

Looks like we all arrived a bit jumpy and on edge, didn't we...?

Was anybody seriously hurt?

[bookpapers]

Karlach got dinged, but she said she barely felt it. I went to see her today and she seemed fine.

[lavi continues to tattle]

I don't have a doctor's eye though, just the one.

[badumtsh]

[recession]

Maybe with the two of us, we'll make a full doctor then.

[ Badumtsh (less enthusiastic). ]

[bookpapers]

[HE LAUGHS...]

I can be a pretty good assistant if ya ever need one. I know emergency first-aid, what plants to use, and a little bit of acupuncture.
