Could you be more specific?

[Keeping Up With the Next Generation: An All-Purpose Guide to All That Stuff Those Kids From Other Regions Keep Talking About.

That's the name of the book Kris is reading in some weird and strangely specific library. Some other hits she sees in the shelves are How (Not) to Deal With Meddling Kids in Caps, It's Not All Black and White, The Series of Guys That Cramped My Style And Messed With My Social Life, and Hot Enemy Problems: Part 1.

But it's a large library. A huge library. The possibilities are endless... and very specifically tailored to everyone's needs.]

[ooc: Aaaand mingle post! Go ahead and comment/tag around!]

[Green isn't a sore loser and doesn't need lame self-help stuff over how to get over people cramping his style, because no one cramps Green Oak's style. Too cool and stuff.

Except he's not helping his too-cool image by heading straight to the science section and digging through the geology volumes. Rocks, volcanoes, and geographical maps of regions? Yes, please. Hopefully no one will notice him in this nice dark corner...]

[strongsilent]

[What's this? His rival (better-dressed and taller) is reading dumb books about rocks and junk? Red will have no problem just peeking around his shoulder to see.

Personal space isn't a thing between friends, right.]

[givespoisonoak]

[Yes, he is well dressed and tall and handsome, thank you for noticing. And no, personal space is definitely a thing and especially because they're not friends.

Fortunately Green is so into his research that he mistakes the hovering presence over his shoulder for Eevee.] We gotta get back to Cinnabar again, girl.

[accidentalruenn]

Couldja scooch over a bit, mister? I wanna get that one 'bout Johto.

[This rather short girl's pointing over Green's shoulder -- dressed in Team Magma wear and totally not hiding a book on having conflicting feelings over your enemy who may or may not be the boy from your past.]

[givespoisonoak]

[Team who? Green takes a quick peek over his shoulder; he doesn't recognize the girl and she apparently doesn't recognize him. Not-nerdy reputation still safe!]

Huh? Oh yeah, sure. You want this one? [He pulls out the book he thinks she's pointing to.]

[anterograded]

[Hilbert's thumbing through Caring For Dragons Of Legend himself! On the table next to him, in various states of reading, are Memory Problems And You, Ferris Wheel Mechanics, and Cursive Writing 101...

There's a journal coupled with that, dated and with neat words in print. Some cursive's been practiced at the bottom, but it looks like a third grader's...]

[forprofit]

[A book on dealing with meddling hat-wearing kids and their Pokemon? Archer pains for the poor soul who had to go through so much torment that he could write a book about it, though Archer's really wondering why he didn't think of it himself in the first place. Extra profit potential in book sales and all.

But he can deal with most kids just fine, thanks, so he'll focus more on books about economic history books that have lots of charts and numbers and are about 500 pages long. If you haven't fallen asleep just by looking at him yet, go nuts.]

[illegalmarriage]

[Hope you don't mind that one Silver with the big cape trying to peek at what you're reading, Archer.]

[forprofit]

[Silver has gotten really good at this whole quiet sneaking thing. Archer is used to hearing loud footsteps and endless complaining first whenever Silver is around.]

Who- oh. [God that purple is so blinding] Hello, Silver.

[todayweascend]

[There's another Silver over here pointedly trying to ignore Archer as he flips through a book about dealing with crazy siblings who hate your guts.

The ignoring part's not really working too well, as he keeps glancing over, though.]

[rivalheroics]

[You know, Jun's not entirely sure why he even came here, considering how boring the Canalave library was sometimes. And yet, here we are, glancing at various titles to see whatever sticks out of interest. Most of what he takes off the shelf and looks through tends to be books about Pokemon or comics, but...

..."Advice For Hopeless Romantics"

He's...he's just going to sneak a quick glance at this one okay. >_>]

[tomboygirl]

[Well, Fuzzbi's enjoying the library at least. Dawn's been keeping her out and about while she has a table full of books about Unova and the Pokémon that live there - Woobat thankfully included. Every so often she'll doze off since she's been here for a while, actually, but she always snaps back awake and continues to read.

But back to Fuzzbi. She'll be hovering around Jun's shoulder and giving him a kiss with her nose on his cheek. Mwah! She remembers him.]

[tidaldrum]

[Ethan's got the comics section covered, okay. Entire shelves of books have been pulled out and set aside, read and forgotten about.

Except for the Proteam Omega section, because who'd want to read about that?

-- aside from his feraligatr, who's lagging behind to look at its pictures.]

[tsuntrader]

[Did someone say Proteam Omega?

Silver is so there. Sure, he's got a few different topic's worth of books under his arm already (trading! ground types! trains!,) but he puts them down for a moment to check those proteam omega comics, hell yes.

...But if Ferafera is hanging out and trying to look at them, he'll hold it open for him to look at too. Hell yes.]

[championfire]

{ Man books are lame, why would you want to read about stuff when you can learn about it hands on! ...Actually, are those comics? Oh man these have to be exciting unlike real books. Hope you don't mind company.}

[illegalteendad]

[Hot Enemy Problems...

now

gold doesn't have that proble oh yes he does he's not even gonna deny it

but like hell he's gonna let anyone catching him reading up on how to deal with it

nope, it's being hidden behind a book he randomly picked out: The History And Construction of Various Towers in Johto, Complete With Diagrams And Floor Plans

but he'll end up poking kris in the side to check out her book too hey hey you you]

[semiductile]

[I see your hot enemy problems hidden behind floor plans and raise you Friends That Make Terrible Life Choices hidden behind Unova Pokémon and You: All of Those Trade Evolutions You Missed out on.]

[tsuntrader]

[SO AFTER THE YELLOW FIASCO, JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR-

Whoa dude calm down you're gonna run right into him at this rate-]

hey

[littletightdress]

Whatcha reading, boy?

[championfire]

{ Oh man. Whoever wrote, How to Give Up Your Life: and Become a Hermit is someone after Red's own heart.

!!! Who's Who of the Strongest Trainer's by Regions. This is a thing why did no one tell me these kind of books existed.}

[convivencia]

[ Haruka is suspicious of those books: did Steven write them. When did he have the time to do that.

Well, she'd be suspicious if she wasn't busy perusing, "Gotta' Catch Em All" a work of children's fiction by some loser from Kanto. ]

[suboceanic]

[There's a new girl in town. ...Testing facility? Whatever. A library was the first thing she found, so she decided to check the place out. She's found several interesting titles.

"1001 Pranks that will Knock Their Socks Off", "A History of Mischief", "The World's Greatest Tricks", "Drowning: An Exercise in Patience", "Creative Ways to Construct and Conceal Catapults", "Lighten Up Flora: A Compendium of the Best Plants for Relaxation, Emotional Control, and Screwing with Others", "Nautical Geography".

...She's snickering over the catapult book. And taking notes.]

[mindover]

[Should Wally be worried?

... Yeah, when he takes a peek at some of those titles, he's worried. And going back to his own book--"Psychic Accident Prevention: Teleportation and You".]

[strongsilent]

[Mmmm fossils and evolution stones you are so interesting.

Red's got a good pile of books about them around him, stacked high enough for people only to see the top of his head, and he routinely has to stand to reach for the next one while placing the one he just finished skimming aside.

His Flareon is laying on the table beside the books, bored of watching his trainer read, and entertaining himself by seeing how long he can keep a piece of paper float with his hot breath.]

[releaf]

[An eevee's going to join you up there on the table! Leaf's not too far behind, and she smiles when she sees Red. It's good to have familiar faces..!]

Red! [Very softly, because they're in a library. She'll stand beside him while her eevee rolls around next to his flareon and tries to steal the paper.]
