No this has nothing to do with Negima

[Gakupriest is out and about with a few books to keep him company. No surprise there. But upon opening one of them, he stops in his tracks, confused.]

...This book has no print.

Ah...she didn't happen to have silver hair, did she?

[defender]

She did.

You've met?

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

[Nods] She was worried about someone dangerous arriving, so I directed her to you.

[defender]

Well, that explains that.

[A slightly longer swig of her drink.] Apparently, he's highly destructive.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

Of course...and you're worried the police force may not be able to control him?

[defender]

She said he could destroy this city, although it was unclear as to whether the context was that of population or building destruction.

I'm confident I can handle him regardless, but I'd prefer to settle things with as few deaths as possible...

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'd offer to help, but I think I'd only be useful after the fact...

[defender]

After the fact?

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

If anyone were to be injured.

[defender]

Ah, of course. You would have experience in...

[sudden realization.] You wouldn't know anything about removing cursed swords, would you?

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

I've run across the subject once or twice in my studies.

[defender]

The subject in question is possessed by one.

If we could remove its curse, or destroy it...

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

Ah! It's not fresh in my memory, but I know exactly where to look for that information again.

[defender]

Then, perhaps... [Looks somewhat relieved, but then broods again.]

Still. I should have accounted for this sort of situation long ago. Not merely in response to this particular Len...

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

There was no reason to. Those capable of causing the most damage here never seem interested unless its necessary.

[defender]

[Undaunted.] Still.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

...

Well. All that can be done now is to prepare in case that does happen.

[defender]

No murderer is without motive; I thought about the possibility of handling things diplomatically, but...

[sigh] ...the girl wants revenge.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

I see...

Perhaps if we can remove the curse, diplomacy would still be a possibility.

[defender]

Mm...

[Cue stress and brooding...]

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

[Aaah, no stressing! You're much prettier when you're calm.

After a moment of thought he'll replace the journal with another of the books he'd been carrying, opening it and beginning to read.]

Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders.

[defender]

[lolwut]

I'm sorry?

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

A story always calms me down, and by the looks of things I would say you needed one.

[defender]

[Still confused, but relaxes a bit.]

...alright, then. Continue.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

[Clears his throat.]

One day when he was out walking, he came to an open place in the middle of the forest, and in the middle of this place was a large oak tree, and, from the top of the tree, there came a loud buzzing noise.

Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think.

First of all he said to himself: "That buzzing noise means something. You don't get a buzzing noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing, without its meaning something. If there's a buzzing-noise, somebody's making a buzzing noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing noise that I know of is because you're a bee."
