Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eri walked into the bookstore in her casual winters outfit, a vintage off-the-shoulder bomber jacket over a tube top and some flare jeans, plus a pair of short, heeled boots she got from a photo shoot. She'd absentmindedly tucked her hair into her favorite warm beanie as she'd left, which she was now starting to regret as the inside of the store was rather hot. With a sigh, Eri took it off her head and stucked it in her clunky purse, revealing her brassy shorn hair. Then, walking up to a book shelf labeled Nonfiction, she began to sort through the biographies - her favorite kind of stories - looking for a book she could read in her free time for entertainment.

Eri heard someone else enter the store, and subconciously raised her book to cover her face, the title Lewis Carroll : A Biography flashing it's golden print in the incandescent light. Looking out of the corner of her eye, she saw it was a small boy reading the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, apparentley upside down. Eri blinked in curiousity. She had once seen an opera of the same name, and had quite enjoyed it. Maybe the book was just as enjoyable? She hardly noticed that he was reading it upside down, as, to Eri, a book was a book no matter how you read it. She decided to wait until the boy was finished reading and then ask him if she could skim it over, as the book looked like a promising addition to her library. In fact, Eri, being so absorbed by the book, hardly noticed the boy himself at all, and didn't wonder in the slightest why a nine year old boy would wander into a bookstore unsupervised and start to read a book of psycological study.

Eri's eyebrows rose as the book suddenly disappeared, and then she frowned. She had been looking forward to reading it. She heard the boy murmur something, but couldn't place what he'd said. However, if only to stipulate her curiosity, she walked up to him, slowly, as not to startle him. Speaking quietly but not condescendingly, Eri began. "Pardon me, but is it possible that I may read the book after you?" She asked and gestured to his hands, as if the book were still there. For all Eri knew, it was - perhaps invisible, or in a different time period, or some other strange power. She had met many people with odd supernatural abilities and had learned not to regard them as strange.
[[OutOfCapybaras: Just fyi, I have read your profile and know about the different dimension thing, but Eri herself is clueless. ]]

Eri took a step back and held up her hands in a reassuring manner. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. I'll find it somewhere else..." She said and gave a soft, warm smile. The boy was obviously the skiddish type, although his outward appearance and stern expressions might lead one to think otherwise. Eri waved goodbye and exited the store, a little shaken.

[[SOOOOOO sorry to cut it off short, but I just got my dorm and wanna check it out razz ]]
