Rin was plucking a few books from the shelves, setting them neatly on the writing desk below. An orderly stack had formed, the dark blue tomes seated on top of one another high into the air.
"All of these encyclopedias are so convenient! These ones are particularly for Hope's Peak Academy data... I should catch up on the volumes I don't own at home~." he said rather innocently to himself, heading up the mobile stepladder to obtain a few more from the highest shelf. It was simply his thirst for knowledge that caused him to come all the way up here... but there did seem to be an issue.
"Hm? The ladder... isn't moving any further." he stated quietly, before looking below for other pedestrians in the library.
"Um... could somebody down there help me?" he said, stepping off and to the bottom. "The wheels are stuck tight, and I can't find what's gumming them up. Could you check the ladder while I check the wheels? I just need one more book."
Again with the needing help. Couldn't this Ultimate do anything on his own?

Post by Hitoshi Tottori on Jul 27, 2015 0:33:54 GMT
Hitoshi had been glancing through various book titles happily, humming under his breath as he noted what he would have to read later or at least give a second look. The library had always fascinated him, after all the best knowledge and tales had been written and published in such grand places, especially in the library of a place like this. As he expected, it was like stepping into another world, breath taking yet still holding a certain nostalgia, the smell of books were familiar to most at least.
It was then he heard it. A quiet yet upset call for help with the ladder. He decided to take a look at whom needed help exactly, walking through the various bookshelves to where he heard the voice, recognising it only slightly due to the amount of people he had met that day. He tilted his head a bit and stopped a few steps away from Rin to look at the scene, asses what he actually needed help with. It seemed a few books had been gathered, all rather bulky, this boy must be rather intelligent. Hitoshi smiled slightly and cleared his throat to get a bit of attention before speaking.
"What's happened?" He asked curiously, check the ladder huh? What was there to check exactly. He thought a bit, looking at the ladder which seemed perfectly fine.

"You're the... Therapist, correct? If my memory is faithful?" asked Rin, looking to Hitoshi with a gentle smile. "Check the second peg, then. Is it caught on a shelf or an out-of-place book?" he asked, squinting. That area looked suspect... that, or the wheels themselves just needed some grease. But where would that be found, of all places?
"Thank you very much for helping me, sir. I'll try and repay you, if I'm able. If you locate the fulcrum of the problem, I'd be happy to fix the ladder... I just need to know where exactly the problem is." he explained, before rattling the ladder. Indeed, around the second rung, something seemed to be amiss.
Hitoshi seemed to be mindful of himself and others- desirable traits, really. Perhaps it would do Rin well to sit down with this man for a time and speak about his own issues.
"After we're done, would you like me to get you a book from up here? I'm tall, I can scale to the highest shelf..."

Zulfikar was ready to spend some "me-time" in his room, when he found that the desk in his room had novels scattered all over the top. They all looked like fine novels, but he waanted to know the history behind them, and to do that he would need a librarian. Zulfikar wrote down the names of the novels in his room, and set off for the library. The library itself was intimidatingly big, and the directory signs were only marginal help. Forget the novels in his room, Zulfikar would need a librarian to even make his way across the room.
After wandering around for a bit, he noticed Rin, and stared at him intently. 'This guy must be staff," he thought. "He's a bit young, but so are most of the other staff here. His costume is great. That suit and those gloves make him look like a modern-day butler." Zulfikar spoke up, using his stage voice so Rin could hear him. "Hey! You work here, right? I'd like to ask you a few questions!." Zulfikar figured that he was getting some books for the boy at the bottom of the ladder. It was rude to interrupt them while they were working together, but they looked like they were almost finished, so Zulfikar was sure it would be fine.

Ah yes, he saw something on the second run of the ladder. He walked and carefully pushed the books around it in so they wouldn't catch the ladder. He had suspected that was the issue, giving a small chuckle and nod at the other.
"Hey, it's no issue at all. Glad to help." He smiled more making sure to loosen whatever trapped the ladder in the place "Oh and therapist is right, you're butler right?" He sure hoped he got that right, but before he could respond, another voice was calling to them across the room. Hitoshi went quiet to look at the other new face, it was obvious which one of them they wanted. After all, even he had mistaken the butler for staff at a first glance, no one could really blame him. He let the conversation begin whilst looking at a few books on the shelf, wondering if any were actually of interest before he would enter the conversation.

"Oh, me? Um... no, actually, and I hate to disappoint. I'm Rin Shirayuki, the alleged Ultimate Butler. I just so happen a student here with the rest of you, and I know little of this place... but if I could be of help to you, just ask whatever you were planning to." he confirmed.
Ultimate Butler. It still sounds ridiculous, even with Ishin's reassurance.
As he continued to survey the damaged area, he found what he was looking for. "Broken screw... blast, it's impeding the ladder. Just give me a moment..."
Removing a small pocket knife from his jacket pocket, he immediately moved to undo the loose screw with the blade's tip. "This should help, Tottori, sir... I'm no mechanic, but frivolous issues like this are easily resolved with the right tools. Removing the broken joint, the ladder was once again able to move from right to left.
"Great! Finished. I'm shocked that there were no metal detector or security tests on the way in here- you could bring basically anything you wanted to, from this little tool to a sword, of all things."

"That's too bad. At least you're dressed for your title!" Zulfikar spoke in a positive, joking tone, but he was slightly disappointed that Rin wasn't a staff member as he had hoped. "If he wanted me to think of him as a student he shouldn't be wearing gloves everywhere." Zulfikar would just have to find a librarian on his own. "You probably couldn't have helped me anyway."
Zulfikar was surprised that Rin was asking for help, considering his title, but he didn't seem to be doing something interesting enough to ask about. If they kept talking about it he could figure out what they were talking about along the way.
"Oh yeah, that guy's also here. I forgot that he existed for a minute. Weird."
(If it wasn't obvious enough, italics indicate thoughts.)

Since nothing had been said to him specifically, he listened to what Rin had to say. Insisting that it was fine and he needed no favour in return, this shelf didn't hold much of interest anyway. He testes the ladder by moving a bit after the butler had finished and gave a satisfied nod.
"It's better than ever I'm sure. Ah, and I would have though they'd be stricter on weapons and such here too...It's a little strange but I guess nothing bad will happen from it~" He said with a happy and assuring tone. It was then he looked at Zulfikar and held out a hand for a hand shake.
"I'm Hitoshi Tottori by the way, I don't think we've met either" His company made him give a slightly more formal introduction that what he was used to. A butler must be expecting some kind of refined attitude from them all anyway.

Rin looked slightly crestfallen after Zulfikar stated his lack of being able to assist. How disappointing, he'd wanted to leave a good first impression. But what made him consider Rin to be staff...? Was it the gloves? Yes, probably that. He had a fear of sickness and germs, so he had very little skin exposed.
"Aha... sorry for not being able to help. If it's something library-related, the sweet girl who calls herself the Ultimate Librarian passed through not long ago... she could probably help! As for staff, I'm not entirely sure where they all happen to be... so, they're likely not on this floor." he suggested.
Hitoshi continued speaking, and gave an introduction. That was helpful. Zulfikar didn't seem too interested, but Rin wished to address him before he left.
"You're the Comedian, right? Sir Zulfikar, I hope to see one of your performances by the end of our time here. I've been told I could do with some 'loosening up', so that might be able to assist in such. As for you, sir Tottori... I might get some peace by talking to you now and again. I have heard the rumors of you being quite good at dealing with psychological problems large and small."

Zulfikar smiled and responded to Hitoshi's handshake without saying a word. "Note to self: Hitoshi has less personality than a box of saltines. He's actually so boring that he turned around and became interesting."
"What kind of library doesn't even have a librarian? I guess I'll just find one evntually. Staff librarian, ultimate librarian, they're both librarians, right?" The lack of present staff was beginning to become an actual problem in Zulfikar's life. "I should file a complaint later. This is getting ridiculous."
"There's no need for formality. We're all equals here. You can just refer to me as princess." Zulfikar thought tthat was a good joke, but he couldn't help but worry that Rin might take it seriously. Rin didn't strike Zulfikar as the joking type, but there was no way he could take that at face value, right? After making his introduction to the two, Zulfikar went along on his valiant quest to find the librarian.
