276 Slice of Life?

Name:Elder Blood Witcher Author:Niggross
Reima is currently within the centre of London, he's wearing a long sleeved white shirt with shorts and sandals. He adjusts his black shades as he feels the sun blaring down on his face. The weather is very nice, a welcome change from Dark Souls never ending cloudy days. His purpose for being in London right now? Well a couple of things, he's here to pick up blood for Talicia and Nerissa firstly, he's also very interested in finding some activities that'd be interesting for everyone while their locked inside that gloomy house.

He thinks about his options as he hands the card that Talicia has given him over to the reception lady in the hospital. Monopoly sounds like a good investment, he hasn't played it in years in-fact, another thing that'd relax everyone would be those insulting card games. Though, he isn't sure whether they actually exist yet. He's interrupted out of his thoughts when a burly man wheels a large box up to him, he checks some paper and asks, \"Mr Ambrose?\" Reima just smiles and nods, the man pushing the box onto the floor with his foot before leaving... If he was a regular human how on earth would he get this home? It must weigh at least 50-80Kg's, people must come in with prepared transport for this stuff... Actually, regular people wouldn't be taking large boxes of blood from hospitals anyway...

Shrugging Reima just lifts the box as if it's nothing and walks away, causing the now red faced receptionist to squeal and run into the staff lounge to talk about him...

Once outside he dips into an alley way and stores the box into his Folded Space. Now he can think about the important things, board games. He walks around London looking for a toy store or something similar that'd sell them and luckily he does indeed find some. It seems that this particular industry hasn't been destroyed by digital games yet, he doesn't know whether this is a good thing or not however.

He walks inside and is greeted by a blinding amount of various coloured toys, ignoring them and the almost rabid looking children running to and fro. He approaches a shelf with various board games on it, the first catching his attention being Monopoly. He ignores the Micheal Jackson edition and picks up the traditional one, he's about to walk to the register when he spots another from his old world : BattleShip... Nice, he picks it up and pays for them both and leaves satisfied.

As he's moving towards his next destination he thinks that it's a shame Ciri couldn't come with him, Nerissa had almost thrown her out of bed while requesting to train. Reima had kept a distance as he wanted Ciri and Nerissa's relationship to get better, additionally, he couldn't really be bothered to actually train her... Of course he'd never tell either of them that. Ciri ended up training Nerissa under Talicia's supervision, Reima chuckles at the face she made when he told them he was popping out. He was expecting retaliation when he eventually returns.

Reima finally reaches his destination : The London Library... He'd been looking around for a place with lots of information that could help people in the Witcher world, he wasn't really expecting to giving it over to the large kingdoms but instead for around Kaer Morhen. He'd have to establish some kind of village if he intends to stick to the plan of bringing his friend from Dark Souls over, additionally he didn't know the status of the Village in Absolver. Only now he realises it must've been around 10 years for them as well, hopefully they're doing fine, they are immortal afterall?

Walking inside the Library he pays at the reception for entry and insurance for the books inside, he doesn't actually bother reading anything inside. Instead he's staking out the place for tonight, Reima didn't really have a plan for how he intended to Stea-cough! \"Borrow\" from the library but with magic it shouldn't be too difficult.

The insides of the library itself looked very impressive, clean wood, nice furniture and good interior design of the building itself created an almost studious atmosphere... It was a shame he had to ruin it all.

Later that night :

Reima used his invisibility and had hidden inside the Library until what he assumed was midnight, looking around he notes that the lights are off but the various security camera's are still visibly on. This doesn't really matter as Reima doesn't give a toss about the statute of secrecy.

Elsewhere :

A fat white man with many empty doughnut boxes on the floor beside him sleepily rubs his eyes as he looks at the camera feeds. The job was as boring as it looks, I mean honestly, who's going to steal from a library? Especially the most heavily monitored one in Britain. He's about to take another \"Power nap\" when he notices something strange, he leans towards the monitor to get a closer look and his eyes bulge when it sees \"it\". On the feed he can see many bookshelves empty, furthermore the ones that still have books on them are rapidly being emptied, it's like the scene out of Fantasia! Books diving off of the shelves and disappearing before they hit the ground... He sounds the alarm for the Police, buckles his belt and quickly waddles into the library, flashlight and taser in hand.

He wanders inbetween the now empty bookshelves, his hands tremble as he gets closer to the sound of fluttering pages.

\"HEHEHEHE!\" he jumps backwards as he hears a maniacal cackle further ahead, looking forward and remembering his lacklustre paycheck he mutters \"No, fuck this.\" and runs away to wait for the police outside. Unfortunately for the government, curators of the Library and investors, by the time the police arrive everything had been stolen, even the books stored in the backrooms... The incident along with footage of the security tapes was quickly broadcast across the nation, along with inquiries if anyone knew anything about this phenomenon... Strangely enough, they had plenty of people voluntarily giving information, most of them were brushed aside however when they starting talking about \"Wizards\", bonkers.
