[A - Library (Mid-day)]

[He'd killed someone. He couldn't quite grasp why, but there was blood, and his sword had gone through the guy's stomach, and he was dead.

And then he's awake. Or back to reality, whichever it was...he didn't feel like he'd actually been asleep, but he was alone, lying on his back, surrounded by books instead of blood and dead people. Or person, whatever. There might've been more, but the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he got. Maybe he wasn't supposed to remember.

Maybe he also isn't supposed to be sleeping on a bookshelf, since he shifts and ends up on the floor in a cloud of dust a second later. Then again, books aren't really supposed to have arms and legs either.]


Owww...dammit, that hurt...!

[B - Anywhere (Mid-day to Evening)]

[Once he gets his bearings, he'll be wandering through the house to get an idea of what to expect from it, picking anything he can get his hands on up to check it out. He's never been out and about like this--not that he's had any reason to, he's been perfectly content to hang around wherever he's been placed before--but this is sort of exciting in a strange way.]

[C - Dining Hall (Evening)]

Ugh, how am I supposed to get up there?

[He knows there's food up there; he can see it. Some of it, anyway, but the fact still stands that the food is up there and he's down on the floor.

Climbing the leg of the table proves to be pointless, as he can't get a proper handhold. Maybe if he tries one of the chairs...]


[OoC: I'm more used to action tags, but I can do prose if you'd prefer!]

[Kissy Face, as the Mason deems to call him, stalks from the Inner Gardens (his usual hunting ground) to the Library. Yes, stalks, not glides or flies. As he is awakened now, anyone who may view him at this time will be seeing his human form, rather than the Dementor one. Not due to any shame as to what he is, no. Rather, he's very recently remembered something in which he had a form similar to the human one, and he would like to hold onto that memory and the feeling of empowerment that comes with it for as long as he can.

Not only that, but generally his hands are easier to work with when they're not scabbed over and slimy.

When he reaches the Library, he takes a moment to take it in as he never had the mental consciousness to properly do so before. Due to this, he is making his way entirely through it, taking the time to study the books one by one to judge which he finds the text familiar and which he doesn't. Most of the time, he has no idea what the books are saying, but now that he's been pulled from his complacency, perhaps he can learn. The thought alone excites him, and brings a smile to his handsome face.

Other times, there is a tome here or there that he recognizes the text for. To put it simply: he's doing research on this world, on what knowledge is available to him to peruse. Sure, he could've very well read the books before, but he can't remember the details. And as they say, the devil's in the details. (A saying he can't exactly remember but the sentiment he understands all the same.)

He would hope the servants in charge of the library understand, but he doesn't find that he cares too much about what the librarians think of his stint. "Kissy Face" is assured of his own ability to talk them down, or at the very least convince them that he can put his own books back.

One may interrupt this project in any stage they like: assembling books, reading at a table, putting books back. He'll be at this for quite a while, so don't be shy.]
