I love history! This room is lined with encyclopedias and history books. It feels like a library, it makes you want to talk in five syllable words.

Vade entered the history room, a subject that was almost worth his time and effort. Sitting down in a desk by a window heavily, he leaned back and took a look around.
History had always intriqued him. The way people could believe everything they read about it without even raising an eyebrow. Books were only written from one point of view, ad that point of view was saturated in lies. He was more aware of this than most people.

Kohaku had tried the library, but that turned up negative. So she took a nervous step into the room and looked around. In the back she could see colorful bindings, mythology. She walked to the back and grabbed a book and sat down at a table, thinking that no one was in the room.

Vade watched the girl he'd met earlier...kohaku was her name...walk to the back of the classroom. If she didn't acknowledge him, then he'd return the favour. Sighing, he pushed himself up and went to one of the walls to start loking at books. English History...French...German...the Irish history section was about half a shelf long. Vade scoffed to himself and pulled out one about the IRA.

She heard someone in the room and quickly looked around. It was the guy from the garden. She turned back to her book and tried to focus again.

Vade turned around and leaned against the bookshelf, skimming through the chapters trying to find something--anything that peeked his interest. When he found it was the same old stories over and over again, he pushed the book back into it's slot and ran a hand through his hair. Frowning, he turned back to the shelf and continued down the rows, finally settling in the ancient history section near the floor. Taking the opporunity to sit, he browsed through the books about the greeks, the romans, the egyptians, the huns, and so on. He picked out a book on Hannibal of Carthage and shrugged. He always enjoyed reading this story. Who wouldn't want to go into battle with a bunch of elephants?

Kohaku looked through the stack of books she randomly pulled out. She finally chose a Greek mythology book. She knew almost all of them, mythology was here favorite thing about history.(it really is) She sighed and picked out the Egyptian mythology book all the way at the bottom. She forced herself to endure the stories of Egyptian gods and godesses.

Vade leaned all the way back so he was now lying on the floor holding the book up and trying to concentrate, but even more than Hannibal's Elephants, it felt as though there was an elephant in the room seeing as the two of them weren't talking to each other. He sighed and placed the book on his chest. Rubbing his eyes, He paused a moment before sitting up again. Quietly, he looked over his shoulder at her and at what she was reading. Egyptian mythology huh? So she was into myths?
"Know anything about celtic mythology?" He asked, it being one of those specialties of his. Beyond that he dug maritime history and military history.

"Hm? Oh, uh... no..." She said, relieved to not have to read that book anymore.

Vade frowned.
"Oh," he replied quietly and looked around. He didn't really have anything else to talk to her about if she wasn't into the celts. That was the only mythology he knew, and he knew it pretty well.

"Have you ever read Greek mythology?" She smiled, trying to find something to talk about.

"Heh, not so much. I pretty much focused on the Celts and ancient Irish history. I'm pagan...er, Celtic polytheistic to be more accurate, so these type o' things are more religious than just fancy stories to me..." He stood up and leaned against the bookshelf once more, pocketing his hands and staring at the ground.

Adis walked through the doorway, and looked at the books. He skimmed through the words that showed where a certain book was. He loved the egyptains.
He took short steps, while looking up at the signs. He found the egypt sign, which was deseined in pyrmaids, and egypt stuff. He walked into an aile filled with books/scrolls. About the gods, the pharoys, etc.
He pulled a yellow scroll, and opened it up. He sat down on the carpet and opened it, then started to read

"Oh... well you really should read the Greek mythology. Cause the romans came and changed the names of the... nevermind..." She stuttered, trying to make some sort of conversation.

"Aye, I know about those bloody Romans. They did the same with the Celtic Gods and Goddesses. Did you know that as far as Rome's empire spread and no matter how large the army got, it wasn't able to take over Ireland? Took over Britain and Scotland and Gaul but never quite wrapped it's fingers around ol' Eire," He smiled a bit. "One o' the few highlights me country has in it's history."
