Throughout his tumultuous existence, there was one thing that remained constant: comfort could be found in books.

In life, tending to his duties distracted him from confusing feelings. In death, it kept him from focusing on the minutiae of his past and all the pain and anxiety they dredged up. Perhaps Herr Reinhardt had done too well of a job in training him, seeing as working was the one thing that kept him together most times. Pale fingertips ghosted over the spines of the books he was shelving, gently nudging them into their proper homes with his telekinesis. Everything was fine. There was nothing to be gained by fretting over how's and why's. He inhaled — a purely psychological gesture, given his current state — and released it slowly. Everything was fine. What a humorous thought, seeing as he was dead.

Shaking his head slowly, he endeavored to push that train of thought from his mind, soldiering on to focus on the pushcart of books. There were still plenty to put away and more to do beyond that, so he really couldn't be wasting time with internal struggles. Centering himself, he reached to 'pick up' more of the volumes needing to be returned to the shelves. He was halfway through his armful of tomes when the sound of nearby footsteps startled him. This...was embarrassing. He was supposed to be working, not fumbling around due to being on edge.

Apparently focusing on work wasn't enough — or perhaps the books alone weren't enough. Maybe keeping himself distracted would be easier with someone else around. With that in mind, he gently set down the books in his telekinetic grasp and pivoted silently in the directions of the footsteps he heard.

A careful, practiced gait carried him forward and as he rounded the aisle corner, a pre-emptive...

"Is there any way I can be of service?"

Lilted softly from his lips.

It was hard to think that anyone could be of service to her right now. Not in the shape she was in. Pandora was stretched out now, her body leaning precariously on a shelf for support as she pulled the remainder of her body free. directly behind her a gaping crack stretched across the floor emitting an eerie orange light, and smelling oddly of brimstone. To look into it would be tormenting enough as it was a straight shot to hell, luckily however it was closing rapidly. Even now as she tried to straighten herself out against the shelf which creaked in protest of her weight.

Pandora didn't immediately look up at the person who had addressed her. The crack in the floor had almost healed over now, sealing itself up, and repairing itself as if no damage had ever even existed to begin with. This was a relief to the spider as she was happy to get away from that place, and her father.

She gave one more lean now as she turned to look at the person who had offered her assistance, however before she could muster any words the shelf she had placed her weight against gave out, and collapsed with a loud crash. Dozens of volumes of this and that came crashing down around her as she too landed on the ground painfully.

She lay there now, her 6 eyes fixed on the person standing near her. She didn't know what to say or do in this scenario. in truth she didn't even know where she was or even if this was the right country. "Am... Am I in Manta Carlos?"

That...That wasn't what he had been expecting at all. Upon seeing the library's visitor, he hesitated. It wasn't as if the appearance of the stranger frightened him; he had long ago adapted to the presence of other supernatural and paranormal creatures. No, it was her arrival that perplexed him. His amber gaze flitted momentarily to the rift in the floor before he quickly glanced back to the individual before him. Johann's lips pursed for a half beat before he opened his mouth to speak — but nothing escaped him. Any words he may have loosed were immediately lost as he watched the shelf suddenly collapse, books and library patron all spilling to the floor.

Reflexively, Johann flinched. Oh dear. It had happened too suddenly for him to be able to stop any of it; he was left standing there like a fool, arms partially outstretched, as if he could have caught any of it. "Are you alright, miss?" He inquired softly as he moved to kneel next to the spider-woman, careful to not sink too much into the floor. Reaching out with his telekinesis, he began to pull various tomes off the stranger, organizing them into little piles on the floor behind him. A small portion of him was naturally worried about all the books, but otherwise, most of his attention was fixated on the stranger.

Her question caused him to pause, his head tilting to the side slightly, one eyebrow arched as he moved a couple more books off of her. "Yes you are. You are currently within Starlight Academy's library..." A small frown spread across his pale lips. "You are in quite a state, miss. I could assist you to the infirmary, if you so wish."

((OOc: Please forgive my lateness))

A weak smile made its way across her lips as she closed her eyes for a moment. Getting out of hell without permission was a tough task as it was. Escaping to any specific location was even harder. Somehow against all odds she had managed to get away, and end up right where she wanted to be. Well, that wasn't true. Right now where she wanted to be was in her loft, sleeping. However landing in, The academies library... She paused a moment as she thought. She had ended up in the school. Of all the places she could have landed that was the place she had wanted to avoid right now. All the students, all the noise, all the everything.

"The infirmary? Like... Doctors?" She asked still feeling out of breath. "No.. No thank you.. Just a moments rest.." The last thing she needed were doctors prodding over her. She had never actually seen a doctor before, not in a clinical sense anyways. As a demon she never had much use for them. All this was was exhaustion from everything that had happened. A good meal and some rest would cure all in this circumstance. Of course.. Now there was the issue of the mess she had made.

Normally Pandora would have little concern for such things. But right now she was much weaker than she normally would have been. And in such a state it did no good to be rude. "I'm very sorry about.. ' She said opening her eyes and gesturing to the shelf and the books. Slowly she started to pick up pieces from the shelf trying to pile it neatly to the side.

Muramura · Nov 3, 2016

"Ach..." The soft verbalization left him before he could stop it. She didn't want to go to the doctor's? His brow furrowed slightly as he glanced over the stranger once more. Johann wasn't familiar enough with what she was to accurately guess how injured, if at all, she was but still... She was in quite a state, as he had just said. However, he was not about to force her into anything. It wasn't his right, he was just concerned. "As you say, miss. Is there any other way that I could assist you...?"

When she started to help with the tidying, more confusion flitted across his features. "No, no, all the books appear to be intact," or mostly... "And I am much more concerned with you currently, miss. I will fix this, it is my job as librarian and truthfully in a place such as this...these sorts of messes are bound to happen..." Youngsters with precarious powers combined with a library lent itself rather well to accidents and chaos.

He paused and hesitated before continuing, "Is there someone I could reach for you, or...? I am uncertain your means of arriving but it seems some outside help may be of use to you..."

ooc: no problem!! sorry about my lateness as well

Pandora smiled. It wasnt often someone acted in a manner of kindness to her when she had not actually known them. Even now when she had caused damage to the library, this librarian was acting in a manner she was not expecting. It took her a few moments to properly regain her senses and proper awareness of things. But as she did she began to pull her legs in, tucking them neatly underneath her body. It was strange, that even as she pulled herself together and straightened out, she still managed to obscure almost the entire aisle.

"Use?" She was confused by the question posed to her. There were things she needed but how could someone provide her with them? the most important thing she needed now was somewhere safe to settle until she was strong enough to walk. It wouldn't take too long. "Silly as it sounds... Keep me company for a bit?"

Muramura · Nov 6, 2016

Patiently, Johann waited for the stranger to gather her senses. He continued to idly tidy while settled in. When she spoke again, he returned his attention to her, head tilted attentively. "Oh," A small smile spread across his pale features, "That is not silly at all. I can certainly keep you company."

Delicately, the ghost moved to sit on the floor next to his new acquaintance. He daintily tucked his legs underneath himself, careful to not sink through the ground. "Where did you come from? If you do not mind me asking."

Nicole · Nov 30, 2016

Pandora almost laughed when he asked where she had come from. She might have assumed the answer was obvious, what with the giant crack in the floor and her rather frightening appearance. But none the less she would explain anyways. "Hell.. I came from Hell..." In some cases one might think she were just being a smart ass, however in this case it were true. She had literally just climbed her way free of hell and had ended up here, back on the island.

"I was in a maze... People were in trouble. I helped? I think? And... I died. So I went to Hell, and now I am back." That had been the gist of it. there had been the corn maze and the zombies, the whole mess. Even now she didn't even know if the others had survived. Hopefully they did.

She gave a small sigh and looked around. It was quiet in the library. that was good. it's probably why other had not shown up. What would the school staff think if they found here here? She had been warned not to come to the grounds, not that she listened, but still. "Your the Librarian here? That's gotta keep you busy?"She asked trying to keep the small talk going.

"Literally?" Was the first word to escape fall from his lips, suddenly and of its own accord. A slight tinge of pink flushed his cheeks soon after, "Ach, forgive me, that was quite rude of me." Despite his academic interest, it would have been rude to inundate the spider woman with sudden questions about her origins and journey.

"I see... That sounds especially unpleasant, I am sorry that you had to go through that. Are you...quite certain you do not require anything...?" Dying, in his experience, had not been something he could cope with, with simple rest. But then, he had only been human.

"Oh, yes, I am. It can be quite busy sometimes, but even when it is not, there is plenty of idle work to keep me occupied. I have no need for sleep, so it helps me keep active." Johann smiled gently, "Do you have a vocation?"
