The library was quiet, calm and generally relaxing as it normally was. Dae-hyun was tucked in at a desk, with a large stack of books in front of him. Dae-hyun being in the library wasn't uncommon, but he normally took anything he wanted to read back up to his dorm. Not today however, the stack was far too big for him to carry in one hand and it surely wouldn't fit into his bag, so he was fine in the library for now. 

With a soft smile on his face and a rather comfortable demeanour, Dae-hyun slowly scanned each word on the book open in front of him. Taking time to completely imagine the story in his hands. He was almost done his second book, and would soon be moving on to the next one stacked on top of the monstrous tower in front of him. Truly, where did he find the time.

*Amongst the shelves of the library Indrawan walks awkwardly with a stack of books carried in front of him, when he finally reaches the desk with a nearby equally monstrous stacks of books he was seemingly out of breath.*
Victor
Dae-hyun peaked over his book at the person who seemed to be equally as interested in reading as he was. He smiled. 

"Quite the stack you got there." His voice was soft, welcoming and polite. "Any particular reason for the amount?" Dae-hyun spoke as if he didn't have the same amount of books in front of him, although he couldn't deny he was curious.
Leon
"Wha?- Oh, i uh want to research something" *He takes a lot of deep breaths as he sits in front of the desk catching his breath"

"I wanna research local Scandinavian folklore for a project i'm making" *He begins taking each book and organizing them by thickness and begin reading them one by one starting from the thinnest ones.*
Victor
Setting down his book with an intrigued look, Dae-hyun titled his head slightly. 

"Thats really interesting!" The same smile on his face, yet his voice was quiet. "Normally the people who come in here are researching *Science,* Or *Math.*" He jokingly faked a shiver. "Not my cup of tea." 

A brief pause, Dae-hyun put a book mark in between his pages. "If you don't mind me asking, what project?"
Leon
"Oh! Originally i was just interested in the stories and such but then i started making puppets from creatures out of Scandinavian folklore, after that i had an idea of making a puppet show for the local kids in town, so now i want to make sure i can give them the most authentic experience ever!" 
*Indra says with pride in his craft, he then looks at the piles of book Dae-Hyun had accumulated*
"What about you? What are you reading about?"
Victor
"Puppets? Wow. Thats a new one, i've never heard that before. Thats really interesting. Ill have to come see that when you do present it!" Dae-hyun's voice got a little loud with excitement, before he quieted down again once more.

"Well," He looked at the large stack in front of him, "Nothing nearly as interesting. These are as many books I could find related to space. All of them are fiction though, I cant for life of me read a textbook for fun." He laughed. "I simply like the setting."
Leon
"Woah!, that's cool, i haven't read anything about space in a long time" *Indra begin thinking* "Maybe i could make a puppet show in space!, but oh, i need to finish my other project first, gah- so many ideas so little time" *Indra shakes his head in dissapointment* 
"But those books sounds cool!, do you have a favorite book about space with you?"
Victor
"I'd watch that one too! Puppet shows are an underrated form of entertainment. The amount of skill and art that goes into it deserves a lot of appreciation." 

Dae-hyun laughed softly at Indra's comment about having too many ideas. He could relate to that in a way, especially with everything he wanted to write about. Both of them were crafters of stories, and something about that made Dae-hyun feel like the two were already friends. Interesting thought definitely.

"Oh, my favourite? No, my favourites are ones that I own, which are all up in my dorm. However, I really love the one i'm reading right now! Im almost done, and it's been a wonderful story so far." Dae-hyun held up the book in front of him, and showed Indra for a brief second before putting back down on the desk.
Leon
"ABSOLUTELY!, puppetry allows for so much form of expression!, it allows for so much movement and character, and when done right it allows to turn the stage into something magical!" *Indrawan says with a wide smile in his face knowing someone else who appreciate the art form*

*After holding back the temptation to spill everything he knew about puppetry as an artform he look at the books by Dae-Hyun side*

"Do you like writing by any chance?, usually when someone read as much as you do they're also like to write!"
Victor
Dae-hyun smiled at the love Indra showed for his art. He always loved when people got excited about things they are passionate about. 

"I absolutely agree! Its like theatre but with little tiny fake people instead of actors." Dae-hyun laughed softly at his comparison. 

With the next thing Indrawan said, Dae-hyun's eyes practically lit up. The existing stars in his eyes growing brighter at the question. 

"Yeah I do actually! Its so cool you noticed that." He smiled. "I love writing more than I like to read actually, which says a lot because I do love reading."

Dae-hyun was slightly surprised that this was the second person he had connected with because of books. Interesting. 

"What about you? Do you write? Im sure you enjoy making stories for your puppets, and you seem to have many wonderful ideas. You'd write some fantastic stories, I'm sure."
Leon
"Oh!, oh!, oh!, I won first prize on my school short story competition once, i don't write as much anymore except for the scripts for my puppet show, but i would go back to writing again, but- again i have too much projects already"

*Indra sighs, it is perhaps a curse that an artist will always fall short in creating everything that they want, and it seems Indrawan is not free from that curse.*

"But what about you?, what kind of story do you write about?"
Victor
"Congratulations! Thats quite the achievement. You should be proud." Dae-hyun leaned back slightly, enjoying the conversation. "I mean, script writing is still writing! Its good that you're still doing that. The world can always use more artists, specifically writers." 

Dae-hyun understood the time management struggle, him and Indrawn has that in common. "Yeah I understand— about having too many projects— my ideas are sometimes so ambitious I simply don't start them. Its quite frustrating at times but when I pull through the end result is always worth it." He smiled. 

"Well, I tend to write poetry. I cant think of enough characters to write a proper story— but I have a lot of ideas about setting and feeling, that poetry portrays the best. Although, I do want to try writing a story someday, if I can think of enough characters." 

Dae-hyun looked at his big stack of books. "Maybe thats why I read so much," He laughed softly, "To get inspiration of kinds."
Leon
*Indrawan begins to think of little bits of poetry he can remember but to no avail* "Well if you have trouble writing stories you could always start small,Oh- but poetry is cool too even if i don't read much poetry myself"

*Indrawan thinks about how he might get ino poetry even though while he himself hadn't given much thought about it before, the conversation with Dae Hyun had him interested*

"Oh but maybe you could show me your poetry sometimes?, if you don't mind that is"
Victor
"Starting small sounds like a wonderful idea— however, being at Newtons Cradle has really given me many ideas for a whole bunch of interesting characters. The people here are quite inspiring— maybe i'll write a story about this place some day! Who knows."

Dae-hyun was certain that direct references to this place published in a public novel would get him in trouble, but if he changed the details and altered it just enough to fit perfectly into fiction then surely it would be fine. Just to be safe. 

"I wouldn't mind! I dont have any on me right now, unfortunately— and it's been forever since I've shown anyone anything. Most of what I write is for myself... So its not very good, but I wouldn't mind showing you some of it!" 

Dae-hyun remembered something, and felt the embarrassment creep up in his mind. How could he forget the basic aspects of conversation?

"How impolite of me, I didn't ask your name nor did I introduce myself. My name is Dae-hyun, what's yours?"
Leon
"Oh my god!, we haven't introduce ourself did we?, my name's Indrawan but most people call me Indra,!, i guess we got too caught up with our conversation huh?"
 
*Indrawan let out a small laugh as he does so, it's nice to meet someone and connect with them so well that ypu even forget to introduce yourself thought Indra, it feels like he just met someone that he already for a long time even though they just met*
Victor
"Yes, it appears so! However, that names sounds really familiar. I believe we have met over the Intranet— I knew something about this felt familiar!" 

Dae-hyun's expression was a permanent smile, he was enjoying this conversation. It was refreshing compared to the couple weeks he had spent completely by himself. Maybe he should go out of his way to talk to people more often, this time it certainly worked in his favour. However, his introverted tendencies would not be easy to overcome. Dae-hyun gave an unnoticeable sigh at the thought, a first step is still progress. 

"How have you been fairing at Newtons Cradle, Indra? Ive heard many different stories from different people."
Leon
"Oh right!, i remember you, you were the one that liked to bake!" *Indra smiles as he remembers the various images of things that Dae-Hyung had baked and posted on the Intranet, while not a baker himself he can appreciate anyone who knows how to make good food*

"And uhm, i really liked it here so far, it's colder where i came from but i think i've gotten used to it now" *As Indrawan finishes that sentence he begins to sneeze* "Or maybe not"
Victor
"Yes, thats me! I love to bake." Dae-hyun remembered why he was in the library today. "Although, I used so much flour from the kitchen one of the staff members had to tell me to slow down a bit— my stuff always ends up being enjoyed but I guess I was making the school stock up on too much flour." The boy covered his mouth to laugh softly, somewhat playfully embarrassed at this fact. 

"Oh yes, and I remember you because of how nice you are. Not everyone here is the kindest person, but you definitely are!"

Dae-hyun was slightly startled at the sudden noise, but then laughed at the irony of the sentence. 

"It's definitely cold here. Swedish winters are no joke. For some reason, I am always cold, so when its winter I don't feel cold because Im used to it? If that makes sense? Its strange."
Leon
*Indrawan smiles at Dae-Hyun compliment, it's nice to know that he's attempt to be approachable has been noticed by someone, he knows that not everyone here can be the nicest person they can be, but he always the words of his Opa in mind "When you interact with others show them the kindness they deserve, even if they don't know they deserve it"*

"Hmm you're always cold?, does that have something to do with your powers?" *Indra thinks for a moment before realizing that he may have something rude, after all not everyone is as comfortable as him when talking about that matters* "No wait, i mean do you ust have a special condition that makes you cold?" *He asks still inquisitive*
Victor
"I agree, thats a good way to look at things." The boy always appreciated a kind soul, especially ones who preferred to show that kindness to others. 

Dae-hyun covered his mouth to politely hide the snicker he let out at Indra trying and failing to change the subject about powers. 

"Yes I believe it is, actually. Being cold constantly and black blood are the wonderful side effects of my powers. From what I know mine are... Night related? I can make fog encompass a space and all of a sudden the sun is no more. Its like wearing a blindfold, sort of." Dae-hyun cleared his throat. "Sorry to ramble on like that." He smiled lightly. 

"What about you, what are your powers? If you also don't mind *Me* Asking." Sliding his book to the side, he leaned his head into his hand. "I try not to ask about powers, but honestly since the topic came up... I don't think its a *Bad* Thing."
Leon
"Woah that sounds cool!, you could like make a space of complete darkness?, i wonder how that work does it abosorbs light? If so how? Oh wait you asked about my power did you?, my power is uhm- wait it's easier for me show you" 

*Indrawan lets out a paper napkin from his pockets, he uncrumpled it and then lays it on the table, as he does he begins to fold the napkin into the shape of a bird, after he does so he lays his craft in the table and closes his eyes*

*After a while the flaps of the paper bird begins to move on it's own as if it's a real bird and soon enough the bird as if like magic took flight and circles the both of them before finally resting at the palm of Indra's hand*

"Pretty cool, right?"
Victor
Dae-hyun completely forgot about what he was going to say. The small paper bird fluttered with a delicacy not of this world, invisible silk thin strings pulling it upwards. Deep dark blue eyes followed the small creation as it circled above them, and fell back downwards. Dae-hyun's face was painted with amazement and awe, disbelief of seeing something right out of a dream. 

Logically the boy knew this place was *Full* Of magic. It was dripping with the paranormal, surely there were crazier things that could happen within the concrete walls that encased them. Right now, however, seeing Indra create something so whimsical right in front of him was breathtaking. It captured every last bit of his attention. He had no time to think of 'better.'

"... Wow that's—" He stuttered and blinks softly to centre his mind. "That's amazing. Truly. That suits you, you know. Its... Like a puppet but without strings." Dae-hyun smiled. 

"Sometimes I think I'm still not used to the fact that people are magic here. It makes sense logically to me, but then I'm absolutely awestruck when someone does something like that." He gestured to the small bird briefly. "Its... Incredible."
Leon
*Indrawan's face beams with absolute joy, he was always a performer and nothing gives him the warm feeling of glee than when someone enjoyed his little performances no matter how inconsequential it might be*

"Thank you!, but oh- i wish i could've brought more of my puppets with me, then i could show you what i could really do- no wait! I have a whole video of them choreographed! Wanna see?, wanna see?"

*Before Dae-Hyun even had answers to question, Indrawan already get his smartphone out, he quickly taps and swipes through the screen until he manages to find the video he wanted to show*

*Through the screen of the smartphone Dae-Hyung would see an elaboraye display of a diorama set of a castle filled with intricate detail, on top of which are about ten puppets each with finely dressed outfits seemingly handsewn by Indra himself, as the video starts the puppets would move on their own accord and starts to dance in pairs to a slow waltz playing in the background and much like the paper bird without any strings attached, each of them would dance circling the diorama set as the admittedly shaky camera tries it's best to capture the entirety of the set, Indrawan face flashes a bright smile as he awaits Dae-Hyun's reaction to his show*
