Study time with the kitty? [action]

[Lingering about within the library for about a few hours now, Artemis settled down upon a table near the window in a vain attempt to study. While it would be much easier for him to write his notes while in human form, Artemis happens to be quite stubborn at times. So, if you come across a white cat trying to write with a pen, feel free to greet him. Despite the studious expression upon his feline features, Artemis isn't having a very productive day so far.]

Man, none of this stuff makes any sense! [Ripping out a page of his notebook, Artemis balls it up and tosses it towards the nearest trash bin.]

How the heck do they expect me to get this magick stuff if the whole Junction crap is so hard to learn? This frickin' school sucks!

...

[Noel stood by a short distance away, blankly and rudely staring off in the direction of the cat, obviously taken back by him. She was familiar with Beastmen, and had even been friends with a few back in the Academy, but talking animals of a non-humanoid nature were somewhat new to her.]

[Letting out a dramatic huff as he began scribbling down upon another piece of paper, Artemis glanced up when he realized he was being watched.]

...What? Was I too loud? Oh, sorry about that.

N-No... it's not that...

Oh, good! I was worried I was going to get tossed out.

O-Oh, um... I'm not a librarian...

Really? I guess no worries then...

[Hey, how come this girl is staring at him with such wide ey--OH!]

I guess you don't see 'talking cats' everyday, right? [He had laugh a little since this was a painfully awkward situation.]

The name is Artemis, and don't worry, I don't scratch.

Artemis...

[She stood there for an additional moment, further studying the creature.]

[...and it actually got her to break a smile.]

How... cute...

[Talk about a bad day turning good. It's not everyday that a cute girl smiles at him like that.]

Aw, shucks. I-I'm not that cute.

[Bashful kitty is quite bashful at times.]

So, do you have a name?

Noel...

W-Would it be okay if I... pet you...? Just a few times...?

[Blinking his eyes slightly at the odd request, Artemis walked to the end of the table so he could be closer to Noel.]

Sure, just don't forget to scratch behind the ears!

Y-Yay...

[She met Artemis halfway with an awkward mix of reluctance and eagerness, letting her hand out to rub behind the cat's ears.]

[Mjrn has been in the library for quite a while now as well, though huddled in one corner. She finally decides to stretch her legs a bit, while placing back some of the books she had been using.

...and then she pauses, staring wide-eyed at the talking cat nearby.]

[Spotting someone heading towards the desk, Artemis' ears stood straight up once he noticed the lady possessed some really tall ears.]

Whoa, she looks a like a bunny!

[Mjrn took a step back, still surprised at a cat being capable of speech.]

I am a Viera.

[She looks him over, curious.]

I was told of a cat, but not that it spoke....

A Viera? Eh, I don't know what that is, but I guess you're the spokesperson.

[Artemis titled his head a little to the right as he stared at her. He had a tough time figuring out why a semi-normal looking girl would need such big ears on head. Man, evolution is totally wacky!]

W-well, I'm not a normal cat, really. [Understatement] I'm from Mau.

[Meanwhile, Mjrn stares back, puzzled by his presence. She nods a little at the explanation, though not significantly enlightened afterward.]

I am from Ivalice. My people, they are guardians of the Wood. I seem to be their lone representative here, thus far.

Mau? That is not a world with which I am familiar, though I would be interested in learning more....

Well, if Luna was around...she would be giving us Mau cats a bad name!

[Luna was way too bossy for her own good at times.]

It's nice to meet you, but what's your name? I'm Artemis.

Ah, I apologize for my manners. I am Mjrn.

[She nods politely.]

Luna? Who is she?

[Sitting at a nearby table, Hope tries his best not to stare. So far, the stranger-looking students of the Garden have taken it well, but he's not about to chance it any more than he has to. He does glance up, though, sneaking surreptitious looks at the talking, writing (?) cat.]

I don't think they design the classes with our type in mind.

[Artemis let out a little sigh once he heard what the boy said.] Preach it, buddy.

These guys really have no idea what it is like coming from one world to another. How can they expect us to understand all of this stuff in just a few semesters?

It's not...that bad, I guess. At least they're explaining the basics.

[He looks up.]

Do you need help...with that?

[Looking pointedly at that paw and pen, yup.]

I guess, but it's not easy. Not easy at all!

[Fussy feline is fussy because never in his life was schoolwork this daunting to finish.]

Well, if you know how to junction GF stuff, then yeah! I could use all the help I can get.

[Started to scribble a little with the pen.] Aw man, this ran out of ink.

I'm a little shaky on that, but I'll see what I can do.

[Almost hesitantly, he picks up the few books he had open and shifts closer to the cat, settling down in a nearby seat and leaning over the edge of the table to look at what Artemis was writing.]

Which part is it?

[He set the pen down once the boy took a glance at the nearest text book.] It's the Junction System, the magick stuff that allows you to junction spells, and those weird monsters to you.

I don't get how this stuff could work realistically. Not everyone can use magick in the first place.

[Leaping off the table and into a nearby chair, Artemis thought nothing about morphing into his human form before Hope's eyes. In fact, he acted as if this was just normal for a feline to do so.]

See? [His voice was noticeably different now, not as chipper as before.] It makes no sense, how could everyone be capable of the same magickal skills by simply Junctioning them from draw points?

I can't say I ever been to any world that had this sort of gimmick.

Eeaaahhhhhh!

[Hope jumps back, suddenly in the presence of something that was distinctly not a cat. He trips over the seat behind him, in fact, and ends up spilling all over the floor.]

[Glancing up from his note book after jotting down a few things, Artemis glanced up to see a very cute girl gazing at him. She was cute enough to make him blush.]

Wow. She's pretty...

Hi!

[He smiled once she sat at the table.]

Hi, to you too! [It seems Artemis doesn't have much of an 'indoor' voice right now since he's talking to 'Miss Gorgeous' here. So, he get's a quick 'Shh!!' from the nearest librarian.]

Oops, sorry about that. [He waves the librarian off causally.]

So, are you a student here?

Oh, yes! My name's Miku.

[Alice had gone to the library for some quiet study time, but when she spots the talking, writing cat, she has to stop and stare for just a moment.]

Do you... [she adjusts the books in her arms] need any help?

[Spotting the white haired girl, Artemis' little ears perked up.]

Why? Do you know this stuff? I guess you're another student here.

[She gives a short nod.] Mm.

I'm no expert on any of it, but it's all been fairly simple thus far.

Then by all means, show me the ropes!

[Gently pushing the notebook towards her, Artemis sat down upon the tail with such an expectant gaze. It was almost as if he was begging for her to pet him than to tutor him.]

They say that magick here is supposed be drawn from 'Draw Points', right? But the thing is, not all magick works like that.

At least that's what I remember...

[She gives him a gentle smile, not entirely oblivious to his gaze, but rather hesitant to ask if she could pet him.]

You cannot forget that magick can also be drawn from monsters during battle, and that they usually have an unlimited supply to draw from, unlike Draw Points.
