"Well, just the other night, I talked a guy into killing himself, without him realising it." Adam said nonchalantly. "But I have a feeling you have just as many good stories."
Yukino's ears perk up a bit as Adam tells his story. She nods as she tells one of her own. [color=bb66bb] "Nice one~. A few years ago, I ended up setting a bar on fire because someone kept trying to get with me. As I'm sure you know, fire and a gas pipe don't mix well. Still... the explosion was pretty to look at. Oh... and everyone died except me of course. The smell of things burning is so nice~." [/color]
Jessica saw Sable offer her a map and took it from him. "Thanks!" She looked around the room carefully and was relieved to find that no Xiphatians were in the room with her, since none had apparently been around to notice Ness take her PDA out. She rolled the map out on a nearby table, then quickly took a picture of it with her camera. "Alright, you can have this back now." She said as she handed Sable his map back.
She glanced over at Ness offering her a map and said, "Already got what I need." Glancing at the picture of the map she took, she said to Ness, "Probably a good idea to pick up some supplies. I can get us pretty close to the Legaian border, but we're gonna have to walk the rest of the way to get anywhere else. Oh! Where should we go first though?"
@Salty: Alrighty then. So can I get that information now?
Also, where on the map are those 'Wild Lands'? I can't seem to find where they are.

As she looked up on the other beings, dragons were the ones that came up first. It was noted that although the resembled little more then beasts, they were more inteligent then their appearance would suggest. This conclusion was based on the fact that dragons have been known to spot and avoid traps laid down by hunters, and even used said traps in their advantage, chasing prey into them, rather then chase it down. As was the case with the aquatic serpents, some dragons had crystaline hearts, and those that possesed it were larger then their average counterparts. It has also been noted that while normal dragons are incapable of breathing fire frost or lightning, those with a crystaline heart can.
It continued to list the various sub-species of dragons before there was nothing more about the subject in the book.
Next, there followed a chapter on imps. It told that imps are fairly common, appearing mostly in forested areas, and the badlands in the Wild Lands. There are also records of imps living underground, where the area is moist enough. Although imps have canines, their diet mostly consist out of fungi and insects, with preying on small mammals being rare occasions. Like the serpents, imps living above ground tend to live in pacts, following a strict heirachy. Those living underground are mostly solitary.
As with the other two subjects, on rare occasions, there are imps born with a crystaline heart. These are actually smaller then their average counterparts, but are shown to have control over fire.
Lastly, the book told of the fearies, but in little detail, as they are an elusive kind. Unlike the previous animals mentioned in the book, fearies have the inteligence to match humans and beastkin, as they have been seen using tools, talking to one another, and on very rare occasions, approach and converse with other species, shown to speak their language almost fluently. Nothing in known about the anatomy of fearies, as they all have a crystaline heart, and as was the case with the others, desintegrate upon death.

Sasha continued down the hallway as she looked for the stairway up, as she turned the corner she saw the spiral staircase. She started to head for it when she saw the woman reach the foot of the staircase.
Sasha continued forward and passed by Anna, saying "Good evening madam." as she passed.

"Yeah..." Savranth said as he led the way. After a moment, he met up with Yukino and Adam. "What are you people talking about?"
[hr]
Anna sniffed the air. "That's odd... Do you smell something?"
[hr]
Within Jessica's book she would learn that it is believed that beastkin are descended from animals. While humans come from apes, a rabbit beastkin is descended from ancient rabbits, a cat beastkin, felines, so on and so forth. There is even mention of a lost clan of beastkin in the mountains near the town of Rockbyrd. Some say they originated the art of creating Golems.
In addition, beastkin are an oddity in that magic using parents can have a child without magic and vice versa. This can even result in Blood Line Magic laying dormant in a family line.
But one of the oddest things is that humans and beastkin, are almost unable to have children at all. It is very rare for it to happen. Some may even call it a miracle.
OoC: @Drak: The Wild Lands are on the World map. The Western continent with the volcano and such.

"Heh. I do like explosions. Not when they're exploding me, though."
Adam turned to look at Savranth. "Oh, we're just discussing our hobbies. Its funny that people from different worlds can be so similar. I do hope one day I have a story I can tell Yukino here involving you," he said sincerely, patting Savranth on the shoulder. "You're such a... nice... fellow."

Lyra, marking down the notes she'd find relevant, began heading down, proud of how well she'd read. She walked up to the librarian, and held out the book. "Is it okay if I take this out of the library? Or is that a big no?" she asked, somewhat uncertain to the rules.
Yukino looks over at Savranth and twitches her ears slightly. [color=bb66bb] "Who are you...? You seem like some sort of boring dandy." [/color]
She smiles at Adam. [color=bb66bb] "Of course, I used to play a game with my friends where we'd try to see how close you could get to an explosion without getting hit. I almost always won." [/color]
[hr]
Ness looks over her map and shakes her head slightly. "I'm not exactly sure where to start off. Maybe..." She pauses trying to find a location.

"I head you saying that you're not enrolled here, so I'm afraid I'll have to deny that request." The librarian answered Lyra.

When Anna mentioned a smell, Loki too, sniffed the air, but couldn't smell anything in paticular.
Roland didn't hear Anna, as he kept his distance.

Sasha stopped momentarily, then turned back to Anna. "I don't smell anything, but will excuse me, I need to talk to someone important about something?" She said, holding the front connecting part of her cloak with one hand.
Jessica glanced back at her map. "How about this place, Pewtercove?" She suggested. "It looks like the closest Legaian town to where I can get us. Seems the most logical place to start, don't you all think?" She asked, addressing Echo, Ness and Sable all at once.
@Salty: Thank you. I was just confused since I didn't see any places specifically marked as Wild Lands. Can I assume they would actually be marked on the kind of maps our characters have?

"That sounds... fun, I guess." Adam said. "I assume you have some sort of resistance to explosions, or, at least, fire."
