0109: Venturing Out

[livingmyths]

I think I'm going to go see the mountain today. Maybe not climb it, but at least to see it.

Ianto, I'm sorry I haven't been at the Library. I just... haven't wanted to leave my house for a while. I'll try to go tomorrow. Maybe I could work at night when no one's there? Straightening up and reshelving and everything? Make up some time that way?

Anyway, I'm not going to venture too far from home today. Just the mountain and right back.

Mat? I want to do something really nice for you - for being so good to me, you know? I just need to think of what.

...I'm sure you've seen the other posts, but there are apparently creatures on this new mountain.

Would you like any company?

...

I... yes, I heard.

No. I don't think so, thank you.

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Rain... I understand.

But know that we miss you, dear, and we'd like to see you.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I... no... I don't think so. But thank you.

You should be careful if you go in the evening. Or in general, there are some monsters on it.

I think today I just want to see - not climb. But thank you for the warning.

I... I haven't even been out of my house for a while, so I'll be careful.

[crazygoblins.livejournal.com]

It's safe at the base, especially if it's not night. It's worth looking at.

Why haven't you been out?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

That's what it sounds like.

I... I haven't felt... right.

[crazygoblins.livejournal.com]

I feel like I cheated with the way I got to the top though.

I'm sorry. Have you been sick?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

How did you get to the top?

Not exactly. Just... a kind of bad thing happened and I haven't wanted to go anywhere.

[crazygoblins.livejournal.com]

I flew.

I'm sorry, anything I can do? Or want to talk about it?

Oh, you work at the library? I really need to see this library some time. I've only been here a few days, but I find I miss the library at home. You work with Ianto? Does that mean you work with Barnabas too? I think I'd like to meet him.

Re: ~voice~

I do and I really love it at the Library. You should come see it.

And yes, I work with Ianto and Barnabas. They're both really nice.

Ah. I just ask because I was surprised to find there was another dog here.

Though you shouldn't work by yourself. Libraries can get... odd when there aren't others around. Temperamental, y'know? I don't know if it'd be allowed or anything, but I could go with you.

Re: ~voice~

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're a dog too?

This one can be a bit odd at times, but it likes me and takes good care of me. You're welcome to come along whenever you want, though.

Yes. I am the Disreputable Dog [There is a distinct note of pride in her voice as she says this]

If you would not mind. You seemed to wish to avoid people, much like a friend of mine. I am not people.

Re: ~voice~

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Direputable Dog. I'm Rain.

Yes, at the moment, I'm sort of... not ready to see lots of people. YOu'd be more than welcome.

It happens. I would not mind accompanying you to the mountain either if you want. I don't have an understanding with mountains like I do libraries, but I'm sure I could be at least a little help.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

You don't have to, Rain.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I want to.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll just have to look forward to it then.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'll find something special to do.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Then I'll say thank you now and say it again when I find out what you're going to do.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You can't thank me yet, silly! I haven't done anything!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

You sure about that?
