Rumors and gossip had been flying around, and Jean had to go and find if the rumors had been at all correct by going to the library and checking them out himself. And there, he had confirmed that they were all true.

One of his freshling friends was missing a book that they swear that they had turned in, and no owed some money for the missing book and were being harassed about turning the book in still. Jean had assured his friend that he would be on the case and that he would find the book, or at least find out what had happened to it!

And of course, the first place to look, after going back and consoling his friend for a bit, was the library! Which was easy enough to do. It wasn't very out of the way in the Academy. The problem however, was what to do next. He of course wasn't allowed on the other side of the drop-off bin where the books were turned in after collection hours, only the staff were allowed there. And from what his friend had told him, the staff weren't very helpful to them, and refusing to go look to see if it had fallen to the side somehow.

He sighed and rested his head on the library table he was sitting at, pencil in hand, as he was writing down notes and figuring out how to proceed next.

The scent of old worn books met Poe's nose as he entered the library. Ah, yes. Home. Or rather, his home away from home. His shoulders visibly relaxed as they eyed the walls, all of which were crammed with books. He was lucky---he couldn't reach certain places and didn't know magic enough to pull books from the high end down. He was also limited by what he could read---big words were a bit too big for him. Not only did he not know how to say them, but the big dictionary that his father told him to use when he didn't know what a word was didn't help much. The "definitions" in there were also much too big and confusing. So wordy--why couldn't they be more simple?

Yes, his choice was narrowed. But there was many to choose from, he could easily finish the collection of what he could read--it would just take a while. Perfect.

Another figure made him stop in his tracks though. They...seemed interesting. He could pause in his conquest to read them all and watched them write, right across the the table from him. Was he...another writer like him? What stories did he have to tell? Poe pulled out the much too large seat for him and hoisted himself in it, scooting himself noisily back in. "What are you doing?" He cocked his head to the side, his chest comically almost touching the table as he tried to look over the contents. It was so hard to read...

Jean could hear a chair being scooted, and he looked up to see that another Freshling had joined him. Just as he was about to ask what the other was doing, they asked him what he was doing! He couldn't help but smile at the coincidence. "I'm writing down clues! A classmate of mine has lost their book, they swore that they had turned it in to the drop-off, so now I'm trying to find it for them!" He said, quite proudly that he had taken on such a task. In reality though he was quite excited to talk about this "mystery" with another Freshling. "They currently aren't allowed to check out any other books until the one that they turn in has been found or it can be proved that something happened to it."

He let out a sigh and stretched himself over the table a bit. "Unfortunately, I can't do too much since the adults won't let me take a look around. I know that it's a barrier and all Detectives must overcome such a barrier, but being a Freshling is hard sometimes! Even if I can get into smaller places, it's like most adults don't take Freshlings that seriously!" Some had even laughed at him about wanting to be a detective! It was al just so mean and he felt quite powerless!

He looked at the other and grinned even though he wasn't feeling too happy about the situation. "I'm Jean Luc! Future Private Detective! Though you can just call me Jean! What's your name?" Introductions should have been made a while ago, and Jean was internally chastising himself for not having done it sooner!
