He had only wandered away for a second, venturing through an unmarked door that he thought led to another section of the dorms, but it seemed there were no beds in here, just an endless supply of thick, yellowing books. West had been known to read when he was directed to, but for fun? Not really. Until this place had decided it was time to spit him back out where he needed to go, however, he figured he might as well make the most of it.
The boil pulled a nearby book off of its shelf and let it fall open onto the table. He traced a finger over the thousands of numbers printed on the page, then turned to the next and squinted at the neat rows of digits there. "Weird," he muttered, not for the first time that day. He had come to the Isle of Death to kick some asses and force those stupid hooded Horseladies to tell him if what they had shown him during the Trials was true, but the things he had been finding instead were starting to make him think that maybe he didn't want to know.

Tess' first destination after settling in the dorms was the Library. She wished she could have told Sheridan about this place, she was sure the dragon boil would have loved it here. She certainly didn't expect the stay to be as pleasant as it has been, mirror-doppelgangers aside, and while she wasn't an avid reader, she figured it would be prudent to see what manner of literature the Clan of Death would house.
She wasn't expecting anything in particular, least of all for a certain Wrath Demon to be present. Not wanting to raise her voice and cause any irritation, silently beating leather wings carried her towards, "West?" she whispered.

Quote: 1-20: You pick up a book, and notice that it has the number 1999 on it. Oddly enough, when you open the book up, inside instead of random scrawls, are also strange diagrams. You don't really understand what they mean, as they all the circles in the diagrams are covered in unusual glyph markings. West replied eloquently. His chosen book went back on the shelf as he selected another, dropping it on the table. "Nineteen ninety-nine," he said, holding himself back from adding a muttered weird like he had been tempted to when describing everything on this island. He took a peek inside, but the symbols and date meant nothing to him. "What y'think of this place?" he whispered.

Quote: 61 - 80: You see a Clans member, entirely covered in a black cloak walk past you: one of the Clans priestesses. She seems to be in a hurry though.
"What do you think that was about?" she whispered, secretly hoping West would suggest they investigate.

West nodded, recalling the times he'd seen undead students shy away from open flame. He supposed lava would be no better. The demon had no desire to dissipate by burning to death, but if they were talking unpleasant fire, he would name the blue fire he'd seen hunters wield as far more upsetting. But they weren't talking about fire. No. They were talking weird priestesses in black cloaks and... What was that? Something sparkled out of the corner of his eye, but when he bent to retrieve the mysterious item, it was gone. Strange. "Dunno," he said, peering after the horseman as he stood straight again. "We could..." He wasn't really sure what they could do without arousing suspicion, but he was willing to follow the sneaky priestess if Tess was. West gestured at the woman and took a couple of quiet steps after her.

"We are here to learn about them, after all," The ghoul nodded, barely able to restrain her eagerness. If she had to go exploring and trailing after people on her own and of her own initiative she wouldn't take so much as a step. But having someone to share the blame if they get caught bolstered her confidence and fanned the flames (no pun intended) of her curiosity.Smerdle We can RP out the effects of my 2nd roll later 83

He nodded, stifling a chuckle as he continued sneaking after the clanswoman. West tried to be as silent as possible, but it seemed stealth was a lot easier when you had no legs. Which reminded him... "Where'd y'leave yer legs?" he asked, his voice still low. Considering all of his past experiences with her uncooperative limbs, West wouldn't have guessed they would miss a trip like this.

The undead ghoul gave the demon a most conspiratory smirk as she whispered back, "Legs is back at the Academy. Last I saw her, she was a little tied up." She'll let West interpret that however he wanted and refrained from mentioning any further details surrounding her lower half's absence.
As they rounded one of the bookshelves, the priestess had... disappeared? Huh. "W-where'd she go? She was just..." she trailed off, certain that the priestess they were following hadn't been too far off.

"Ah. Yeah. Dun think she'd like that much." Taking his cues from Tess, West didn't mention Legs anymore, instead following the ghoul as she made her way around a bookshelf. The priestess was gone. "No idea," he replied. "I've 'ad some strange things'appen since I got'ere though. If she jus' disappeared into the walls're somethin' I wouldn't be surprised."
