017: At the Library

[livingmyths]

I listened to some beautiful music under the stars last night. It was so nice to be able to be out in the open to listen.

Luke said I should try to talk to some people named... I think Logan and George? People that he said lived out in the woods like me. So if you see this and want to I'd love to talk to you.

I think if it stays nice today I might go up on the roof and read when I'm done - and before I go to work at Mr. Stark's - so if anyone's looking for me, that's where I'll be. For a while anyway.

Just peanut butter and crackers? No meat?

Sure. I'll keep that in mind. Gimme the plans and a few days. Then no more sleeping in the library.

I don't have anywhere to cook it or anything. And it doesn't stay fresh so well in a backpack!

Luke and Mr. Stark are working on the plans, I think. They're a lot more worried about me not having somewhere to be than I am.

As long as it's not too big and has lots of doors and I can see the stars I think I'll be able to sleep inside. Otherwise I'd be too scared.

And I have to stay at the library sometimes, it would miss me otherwise. Sometimes I think it sort of whispers to me in my sleep, kind of sings me songs or tells me stories, you know?

Come over to my place. I'll get you some jerky. It keeps.

Some folks are used to one place. Let em. They're looking out for you. They may not get it, but they're looking out for you.

Ain't been in no library that sang to me. Other places you get feeling like its alive.

Jerky's good. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.

Yeah. I... I'm not used to people caring even a little bit about me. It's kind of strange to have them looking out for me. I like it, but I'm kind of scared to like it too much in case they go away or decide I am really crazy and too much trouble after all.

You could come some time when it's night. Maybe you could hear it.

I never knew a building place to feel alive like that before.

It's nothing. I like meat. I can't imagine going all that long without it.

That's a valid reason not to like people around. Do what feels right. That's my method. Nothing fancy.

News to me too.

I like meat. It's just expensive to eat in a restaurant or something and I don't have a place to cook, so...

It's just... different. And a little scary. People are so nice and where I'm from. Well, every now and then you'd run into somebody really good, but soon as I answered a question they hadn't asked yet or said something about a thing that was going to happen, they started whispering about me. But nobody here seems to mind. They think it's a good thing even.

I love it. It's safe and it likes me.

Once your place is all together you can cook. It'll work out.

Yeah. It happens. You have to do what you can. Some people aren't meant to get the picture.

It would be really nice... having a little place that's all mine and safe. I don't think I'd know what to do with myself. I barely even remember the only home I had. Once upon a time, you know?

I like the people here. Nobody makes me feel bad about who I am. I can just be whoever I want to be.

[weaponxanimal.livejournal.com]

Looks like it'll happen here. In some way.

It's rare. I'm glad you like it.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll do whatever I can to repay you for your kindness.

Yeah. I know a lot of people just want to try to go home, but... I'd rather be here.
