[ call or text Reim within! I was going to set up a voicemail inbox message but then I realized no one is ever going to hear it unless he’s unconscious or dead. it doesn’t matter if you call at 3am he’ll pick up. ]
[ SETS HIS FOOD ASIDE AND RUNS TO THE BATHROOM turning the shower off and retrieving the clothes. he comes back out still in a hurry and lays them out on top of Elliot's dresser to press out the last traces of wrinkles ]
[ there is probably some kind of trick to tucking in shirts so they don't get all fucked up and messy looking when you move around at all but unless Elliot has those thigh garter things I don't fucking know what it is. Reim would though. Reim will coach him through that, and through tightening the waistcoat ]
[He can do most of it just fine. He's not the type to totally rely on someone else, after all... but some of the details are rough and tightening your own waistcoat is a little harder. But he gets it! We are getting fancy!]
Finally. I was getting sick of looking sloppy all the time.
[Just. Incoherent joy noises. He runs off out of sight and is quiet for a bit, before Reim can suddenly hear the maniacal villainous laughter of a geek who just found the full collection of his favourite series and realised he can read ahead of all his friends and lord it over them later.]
YES!!
[He is not even close to using library-appropriate volume.]
he will let him enjoy the library on his own unless Elliot comes back to show him. in the meantime he’s scanning the shelves for Harlock’s ancestor’s biography (or for some of Sharon’s favorites) ]

Re: Day 10, morning
If you run like that you're gonna slip.

Re: Day 10, morning
[Yay shirt not looking like a rumpled mess!!]

[ backtracks to go turn his bathroom fan on ]
Re: Day 10, morning
[He deserves a lot of thanks, really. Elliot has no idea how he'd be functioning if Reim hadn't stepped in...
Anyway he's adjusting his bow a little and buttoning his overcoat and he is LOOKIN PROPER.]
Let's go look around.
Re: Day 10, morning
[ SO HE SAYS, BUT HARLOCK IS GETTING THE DISHES
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY ]
Re: Day 10, morning
[So he will just trail behind Reim like a fancy duckling til they head off.]
Where did you say it was?
Re: Day 10, morning
The new path I spotted was right down this way.
[ OUT OF THE MOTEL AND TOOOO THE LIBRARY ]
1/3
I wonder what changed...
Re: Day 10, morning
Wait... it worked?
Re: Day 10, morning
...at which point he look back at Reim with the biggest delighted grin.]
Look, Reim! It really worked! It's not even weird!
Re: Day 10, morning
Congratulations, Elliot! My goodness- let's take a look inside.
Re: Day 10, morning
It looks big!
[As soon as Reim suggests going in he is off like a rocket, checking out the shelves with the enthusiasm of a true nerd.]
I've never even heard of most of these!!
Re: Day 10, morning
browsing the shelves, though he's looking for familiar titles first ]
There must be a good deal from other worlds as well.
