YUKIMURA LIBRARY AND BOOKSTORE
A three story building in the heart of Japan, a large collection of books open to the public that doubles as a library and bookstore. The outside is completely made of brick with two windows on the first level while the second and third levels have three each. The first floor holds the checkout desk and bookstore. The second holds the library, freely open to those who would like to look for information, study, or simply enjoy a good story. The third holds an apartment for the owner of the establishment, Angelis Satome.
The interior is decorated with a modern feel. The bookstore in on the left side of the building, and the desk for checkout is directly in the middle. It's the first thing customers see when entering through the clear double doors. Inside to the right, is a staircase that leads to the library on the second floor. There, four tables with chairs are located at the center for reading and such. There is another staircase on this floor but is posted for "employees only", customers not being allowed any further past that point.

 Angelis was in the library, rearranging books in certain parts of said library. He was so excited about his own store and new that his mama would be proud. He missed her and wished she could be here with him but it was never going to happen. But it was a nice thought. He hummed to the song that was playing on the radio as he continued to place books were they belonged and wondering how the got mismatched in thw first place. If anyone came, he would be notified as when the door opened, a large chime would sound throughout the building.

The plane touched down around six in the morning. It was like any other trip overseas. Jet lag shouldn't be a problem; although customs took a longer. She was patiently doing something on her phone while waiting in line. About an hour or so later she finally got through and made her way out of the airport. The next stop was the hotel she booked before the flight. It might have been a waste to pay for the previous night, but this was the time she wanted to come in and there was no way she'd wait around until a room was available. After making her way to her room she took a much-needed shower and got ready for the day. She put on a casual business suit because she needed to meet someone later in the day. Her gray hair was left to hang freely for the most part. It was best not to look stuffy. The reason why she sported such a boring color was because she had some gray sneaking in between her natural auburn locks. Some say stress causes it. Her reaction was to embrace it completely. At least she could pick out what kind of gray she figured would work best with her complexion.
Cassandra left the hotel sometime after ten in the morning. She didn't have anything planned so she decided to walk around the area a bit. It didn't hurt to get used to her surroundings. In fact, it was ideal. Then she'd find a place to get some lunch. It didn't take her too long to run across a shop that caught her attention. The tall woman, who ignored the gazes of everyone around her, stopped to take a look at the building. It was a bookstore with a library. A small smile slipped onto her face. It had been a while since she perused a library. She wasn't actually big on reading and only used the library when she was younger to teach herself what she needed to know. Now she had the internet. Still, it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
As soon as she opened the door to step in a bell chimed. She ignored it as she walked farther into the store. Cassandra liked to see what new books were popular whenever she did browse a bookstore. That's where she went first--running her fingers along any interesting covers. Usually, there wasn't something that intrigued her since she wasn't into others peoples lives or fiction. While she was examining the books something occurred to her. Would this place have any information on the other world? That's what she called it. The world and creatures that disrupted her progress with their sudden appearance. It was a big thorn in her side at the beginning, but she was determined to take advantage of it all. It was unfortunate that she hasn't really run across anyone ideal from the other world. Then again, she has never made an attempt to visit the new cities.
Cassandra made her way up to the library that was on the second floor. It didn't hurt to look around. She wasn't sure exactly what she was looking for, so she browsed at random. The tall woman liked to get a feel for the layout anyway. There wasn't a ton of people wandering around, but a good amount for the time of day. They probably thought it was odd that a foreigner was in a place like that. The truth was that she was quick to learn languages. It wouldn't be hard for her to read something in Japanese. After all, she has visited many times in the past.
   Location: On the second floor with random people.

Angel started when he heard the bell chime , nearly dropping all the books he was holding in his arms but managed to balance himself soon enough. 'Hmm. I gotta lower the volume on that thing.' He thought to himself as he placed the books where they werr mean to go. When he turned around, he noticed a tall.woman enter the library and blinked as he had never seen a woman that talk. Well, except his mother but that was a different story. "Hello, Miss. Is there something I can help you with?" he asked politely, gaining her attention.

It wasn't long before someone, who appeared to work there, came to ask if she needed help. Did it look like it? Or was it was easier to notice her in general? Cassandra knew she stood out like a sore thumb here. Not only did she look like a foreigner, but she was quite tall for a woman. That is if you aren't taking into account any of the races from the other world. This person appeared to fit in much better though. A soft smile played on her lips as she realized that their hair color was similar. Although, it didn't matter if this person colored it like she did and so she wouldn't bother to ask such a thing. It just wasn't the most common of colors on younger people--at least for humans. She wasn't so sure about otherworldly races.
"Oh, yes." Cassandra started as if she wasn't expecting to be approached. Her tone laced with honey. "Do you have any books with information on the new additions to the world? A section would be even better." The latter part was added in a quieter tone almost as an afterthought. She didn't state anything specific because she didn't know exactly what she was looking for; after all, she walked in on a whim. That's why a section dedicated to the new areas that appeared in a moment and the beings that came from there would be ideal.
Cassandra patiently waited for the answer to her question. If he did have something that may be of interest and wanted to guide her she would follow. One thing that might have been noted, assuming he first spoke to her in Japanese, was that she obviously understood the language. Even her accent was on point.
