Both options are good. Guess it depends now on whether it's at the university library or not.

New things can be strange sometimes, but they can be good, too.

[noreasonneeded]

Yeah, I’d have to check. There are four libraries on the campus, but that’s still no guarantee. Out of all the scouting I’ve done though, finding that out is fairly easy.

They can. And I know, acting one way with one person isn’t acting that way with everyone.

[acaseofyou]

All else fails, I can see if anybody has it in their personal collections. That might be a more complicated theft, but definitely more entertaining.

It isn't, but I do like how you act with me.

[noreasonneeded]

It’s true that I don’t often risk having curses put on me during thefts, but I’m not against novel challenges with a worthwhile payout.

I enjoy how you act as well. I say, with the fine print to exclude attempts at blood popsicles in the future.

[acaseofyou]

Don't worry, I'll scope someone out with no curses attached. Unless you want the challenge of avoiding one in the process.

Look, that was an outlier. Vampire Heat Stroke. I was not in my right mind, it should not count against me.

[noreasonneeded]

I’m not opposed to it, I’d just definitely prefer to know ahead of time as it’s not something I deal with often.

As far as bad ideas go it’s not the worst, don’t worry. It seems you suffered enough from it.

[acaseofyou]

I'll keep that in mind if you ever have me doing more serious intel.

Thank you for your understanding. I can't promise I'll never have another bad idea, but I can say it won't ever be blood popsicles again.

[noreasonneeded]

Your expertise in your particular kind would be beneficial for certain.

I once stuck my hand into a blender when it was on. I was fine, but the point is that we all have bad ideas. Just as long as the good ones outbalance them it’s fine, or at least having contingencies in case plans go south fast.

[acaseofyou]

Well, I'm happy to answer the questions I can.

You are very good at contingencies, from what I've seen. For now, and while I'm smoking, I'll leave that to you and keep to more supplemental support. Just in case. Little worried about your hands now, though.

[noreasonneeded]

I’m fine with it being left largely to me. Though it is a skill I always encourage in others. My hands are fine, I promise. It was a one-off situation shared just to make the point that nothing and nobody is infallible, it can just look that way if the right precautions are put in place.

[acaseofyou]

I can do my best with it, though it's not my strongest skill outside of very specific circumstances. You do make a good teacher for it.

[noreasonneeded]

It goes both ways. Music doesn’t feel natural to me, but I enjoy our guitar lessons. I figure if it's not easy, then it's worth practicing.

[acaseofyou]

That's a very good way of looking at it. And you know me. I always vote that music is worth the effort in particular.

[noreasonneeded]

I do know you, and that. I don’t think I will ever know music as you know it, or Wylan does, or any who are moved to make it as a form of creation. But that’s okay. I enjoy how you all enjoy it. And how you use it.

[acaseofyou]

I'm glad you like it. I've been told it helps your brain with math, too, if you needed another tick in the pros column for all the time spent.

[noreasonneeded]

I can see the correlation between music and math. And you certainly know well by now that productivity is music to my ears.

That might mean you’re better with numbers yourself, more than you think. They might not just have been presented to you in the most accessible way yet.

[acaseofyou]

The Ballad of Accounts. Come now children and here a tale of the ledger books and the smartly quail. I could run with that.

Depends on the kinds of maths, I think. I'm great with distance and timing and basic sums, things like that, but I remember trying to balance equations once. And fractions? Terrible!

[noreasonneeded]

I see you’re preparing for your next children’s album.

There are a lot of different types, it’s true. Even I found some easier to learn than others. I found visuals helps a lot with fractions, but even then, it’s not everyone’s thing. Which is fine, because if it was, I’d be rather useless.

[acaseofyou]

Learning all my preparation from you.

Oh you'd never be useless. Who else would I get guitar gloves for? Whose desk would get jerky treats?

[noreasonneeded]

I'm gonna start getting you to use a calendar app to its fullest next.

The gloves and jerky are appreciated. Caveat that you don't have to get me anything, but appreciated. I have a piece or two most nights. Of the jerky. Not yet so hungry I've tried to eat leather.

[acaseofyou]

I'll acquiesce only if you put in fun stuff, too. Like your birthday.

Well, let me know and I'll get you some of the good leather. Top of the line, very chewable.

[noreasonneeded]

Do demons spawned from hell have birthdays? How about I put in yours.

Pass on eating gloves. Fruit leather's not bad, though.

[acaseofyou]

Yes. The get little cakes, too. And I already know mine, silly.

Duly noted. I wonder if they'd make gloves out if it if I asked nicely, though.

[noreasonneeded]

Like those petit fours? Or those Chinese prosperity cakes? And you might forget your birthday, in your advanced years. Better safe than sorry.

Gloves out of fruit leather? Might get sticky. They do have candy rings, bracelets, and necklaces, though.

[acaseofyou]

I was thinking more like a cupcake with sprinkles, but I can go with whatever the demon's preference is. And if you're going to be like that, go ahead and put February 9th in your own calendar, too. So you can remind me as I get on in years.

All of which get real weird if you sweat. Don't know that you'd want to wear the gloves and just eat them off your hands, or just nibble them separately.
