♞ IX. voice & action.

[holyknights]

I have books I need to get rid of— [...well. That's not right. He corrects himself.] —return. There's too many for me to carry, so I'll need help.

[Elliot, that's not a request, it's a demand. But this is Elliot Nightray—he does not and will never care. Housemates can find Elliot sorting through the books in his servant's room, trying to pile as many into a box as he can. This is going to take a while.

Others can find him hauling this stupid box of books to the library. It's especially cold today, but once again, Elliot does not care. He is getting rid of these books one way or another, dammit. It's only a small start, but he is tired of waiting.]

[sundead]

[wow you're so nice asking for favors, Elliot...

but he guesses he owes you one]

How many books?

[holyknights]

[Don't be silly, Ayumu. You can be an iceberg in his living room any day.

He wishes he knew the answer to that question, though. He really, really does.]

A whole bookcase. Maybe more.

[sundead]

I guess I can help out for a while.

[he's making no commitments, here! Even if he'll actually end up staying until it's finished.]

[ voice ]

[happyends]

[ did someone say they needed help.. Madoka to the rescue. ]

Um.. if you still need some help, I wouldn't mind helping out at all..

[ voice ]

[holyknights]

There's a lot. [So he'll definitely still need help!] I'm in house 53.

[ voice ]

[happyends]

Hmm, please hang on then..! I'll be right over, I'll try to not make you wait too long.

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

[Did someone say books?]

I'll help, if you'd like. [This would be Ami quite happy to get a chance to see the selection.]

[Voice]

[holyknights]

I'm going to need it. [His servant knows nothing of responsibility! But he wouldn't mind if she looked through them.] I'm in house 53.

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

If it's alright to come so suddenly, I can be there shortly.

[voice]

[folklorist]

[ Ooh books. Helios can never pass up an opportunity with some new books. ]

I'm sure you've gotten plenty of people's attention with that. What sort of books do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

[voice]

[holyknights]

There's all kinds. [Leo would read just about anything. He wasn't picky about books at all.] A little bit of everything. If you want something, I can look through them.

[Anything to get these damn things out of his house. :|]

[voice]

[folklorist]

Hm. Do you have anything dealing with biology? [ Helios has been doing some homework with Nala. ]

Anything would really do.

[action]

[rollypolyclover]

[What better way for a person to help carry a box a books than running into said person who's carrying the books legs whilst running around, playing in the snow and not watching where they're going?

Yotsuba doesn't think this. But she's going to run into Elliot's legs whilst not watching where she's going anyway, unless he has some expert dodging skills or high EV.]

[action]

[holyknights]

[Elliot is too busy and too annoyed to really notice (or care) about the dashing Yotsuba! So the dashing Yotsuba will crash into his legs and his grip on the box loosens, allowing some of the books to fall out of it when it tips over.

...he's not sure what just happened, but that won't stop him from yelling about it.]

W-watch where you're going, dammit!

[action]

[rollypolyclover]

[Was someone yelling at her? OH WELL she just found this awesome book on the ground and it currently has her full attention.]

Yotsuba founds a book! Is it full of pictures?

[Just going to flip through it, lalala~]

[voice]

[moehealer]

[What a nice way to ask for help, Elliot! So polite.]

I'd be happy to help, Elliot! How many books are there?

[voice]

[holyknights]

[Even if he were in a better mood, he probably couldn't be more polite!]

Too many. [This is really the most accurate way to describe it.] Just carry whatever you can.

[voice]

[moehealer]

[Ruuuude.]

Alright, I will! Should I head over to your house then, or..?

[voice]

[penetrated]

[Did someone say books? And a chance to help out too? It's like Christmas has come twice!]

I wouldn't mind helping out, mister!

[voice]

[holyknights]

[Aoba-kun is so generous...!]

Good. I'm sick of seeing them here. [The mess has really gotten on his nerves!] I'm in house 53 if you want to help.

[voice]

[penetrated]

[Elliot-chan should be thankful!!]

Sure, I'll be there soon! Ah... before I head out, how many books are there, exactly?

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Ah-- I'm surprised Leo gave you permission to do that.

[Voice]

[holyknights]

[Normally, a voice response from a housemate would earn the right to have this Nightray hunt them down.

...but this is Jack Vessalius, so no way in hell.

His response is blunt.]

He didn't.

[Voice] here have a Richard too

[ledbythewind]

Are they all from the library?

[Voice] DELICIOUS.

[holyknights]

Yeah. My servant tended to take out more books than he returned.
