2nd Dive: Exploration [Action]
[Some time has passed since Ai first entered Luceti, and even now she was growing accustomed to life in the village. Slowly, but steadily. It was a much quieter place than what she was used to back in Kibitou.
The draft had come and gone, but the girl hadn't taken part in it, and she was thankful for that. Her recent entrance into this peculiar world was enough to deal with on its own, though she had kept herself as informed as she could as to what exactly was going on.
Today, she had initially tried to simply soothe herself with another walk around the village. It had developed to be a certain routine for her that she often practiced, and the weather was more pleasant than it had been before, warmer. She was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and blue denim jeans, along with her yellow jacket on top that she had regained possession of upon entering Luceti.
However, curiosity got the better of her and she ended up heading to several places that she had intended on checking out earlier, diverging from her walk a bit.]
Action I.
[Firstly, Ai found herself near the Bakery in the morning, a certain scent inviting her to come even closer and see what was available that day. The girl had wondered whether she would be able to find anything like her favorite Imagawayaki dessert here to buy later (or get, rather), so she would inform herself of what was offered here. Besides, she was also feeling hungry now, so her timing couldn't have been better.
One may find her right at the time she has an inner discussion with herself as to what to get, or they may find her wandering close by later with a croissant in her hand, already eating it contentedly.]
Action II.
[Then, Ai found her way to the front door of the Battle Drome. From what she had understood, this fascinating facility wasn't just a combat simulator, and she wanted to test out its capabilities for herself. She had read about it and already had a few scenarios in mind, but that didn't necessarily mean that she couldn't use the help of somebody around offering to help her understand it a bit more.]
Action III.
[The Library was also a place the girl wanted to check, the last location on her route today, though she didn't have anything particular in mind upon entering it as she simply went on browsing. Maybe there was something informative as to the worlds of the other people she met here? Or perhaps there were different works of fiction made by authors from these other worlds that could intrigue her? Regardless, she wouldn't mind having some reading material to go through before she went to sleep each day.
Ai would spend quite a bit of time here, thinking as to what she would get and what would spark her interest the most.]
Action IV.
[Finally, when the sky has already darkened, Ai would take a small break near the river close to her new come, Community Housing Building #2, and clear her head some with her eyes watching the stars and her body resting on the grass. Anyone wandering around this late would be able to catch her there.]
(OOC: You can stumble upon her anywhere along her route. Reading the reflections post I have linked to is not necessary as it simply shows her initial thoughts and impressions of Luceti right after she gets herself an apartment.)

[Action: Library]
Oh yes! I've trained and-and taught many potential students with, ah, the use of that book.
[ He will then nod and motion encouragingly towards the stack of otherworldly literature. ] It is. It's still fascinating to me even after being here for three years. I-I think if you start slow it'll be easier to take everything in. I suppose it helps when you have a very strong enthusiasm for knowledge.
[ Helios can tell that Ai is very eager to learn though. ] I think you'll find everything you need here though. Asking around helps also. People are generally easy going enough to answer any questions you may have.
[Action: Library]
Is it required for somebody to have a... predisposition to becoming a magician before you teach them? Or do they just come to you? [Simple curiosity, no intentions of doing that herself, unless something in particular really sparked her interest.]
Yes, for now, I am planning on just picking one book to read. [Starting slow sounded good, and she would want to devote her attention to whatever she picked up anyway.] ...The question is which one. [A hint of an amused smile pulled at her lips as she said it. It was indeed difficult to choose anything, but even now, she was learning more from simply talking to Helios, and the fact that it was a myriad of potential books did not frustrate her.]
[Action: Library]
[ Helios will smile and look at the myriad of potential books as well. It wasn't a frustration but more of a goal to be met and achieved, or so that's what he felt when he first arrived here. Helios could tell that Ai was of a similar mind, and that she didn't look at all displeased about having such a large selection to choose from. ]
I suppose it would depend on what you really feel like reading at the moment. But, ah, that's all up to you for now. I-I'll just let you read through them, if you need any help feel free to ask. Oh! And my name is Helios by the way. It's been a real pleasure talking with you.
[Action: Library]
[Not that she had planned to anyway, but it was still an interesting topic for her to hear more about, especially now that her mind had shifted to the mentality that magic did indeed exist in Luceti, it was a real thing. The filial spirits was something she had read about, but even the guide itself did not say anything truly concrete about their powers and how one might end up chancing upon them. There was little reason to think that she meet any of them, not that she was necessarily opposed to the concept, as she was forever curious about things such as these even if she would not necessarily benefit from them.]
[She then bowed his way after he introduced himself to her, the smile on her face remaining. He had been really helpful to her, and he seemed like a nice person in general.]
Thank you for help, Helios-san. I am Ai Nanasaki. It is a pleasure to meet you.
[Action: Library]
Well you're welcome to stop by the library any time you want. The doors are practically always open, except late into the evening. [ He chuckles. ]
But, um, I should let you get back to-to your book searching.
