::Gah! Booked!::

::Erland is knocked down, and has to pick himself back up before trying to find Jasumi again.::

Hey! That's not nice!

::You hear hissing slithering behind book shelves.::

...look, I came in response to your post, don't get all snippy with me.

::Erland looks around cautiously, not wanting a repeat of the booking incident.::

::Books fly at you.:: Liar!

::Erland ducks to the side of the shelves, avoiding and sheltered from the flying books. He tries talking to her again, more gently and soothingly.::

Jasumi, calm down, I'm here to help. What's gotten into you?

I won't listen to you, Grepher!

::And more books fly, obviously missing.::

::... okay, this could take a while. Erland sits down at the end of the bookcase, where he's fairly safe.::

Jasumi, what happened? Why are you so scared of me?

Don't even pretend to be hiiiim. ::HISS::

...To be... Erland Eusebius? I.E. myself?

Or pretend to be Grepher? I'm a bit lost here.

::The Book Case is being picked up, the hissing intensifying.::

Hey! Easy! Easy!!

I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to help you.

So could you do the same for me? ...please?

Why do you even think I'm Grepher? Why would he impersonate me?

To try and kill me, obviously, Grepher.

Now why would I keep coming back here day after day if I wanted to kill you?

...ugh, I don't have any good way to prove I am who I am. And snakey-cuddles are obviously out of the question here, so what do you even want from me? Not gonna kill you, not gonna hurt you... except maybe in self defense, but hopefully that'd be minimal.

...great, now I'm rambling again. ...and I should probably move.

::With that thought, Erland skitters behind another bookshelf, probably in the nick of time.::

::Yes. As the book case smashes down on your previous position.::

Why should I believe you?

...well, any reason I give while you're like this probably wouldn't matter anyway... but how about 'it beats tearing up your nice library'?

Or that I haven't made a single aggressive move yet? ... well, violence aggressive, you know what I mean.

::Slithers into sight, as a Vaskii, with all 4 arms.::

You could be waiting for the right moment.

I 'could' be, but is that possibility really worth tearing up a library and hurting a potential ally?

Not saying you have to trust me, but not trying to KILL me until I actually do something would be a start...!

... I see anything funny, I kill you.

::Slithers closer.::

...why did you even ask for help? You seem plenty ready and able to crush anything in your path.

::Erland is leaning up against a bookshelf, and generally trying to keep calm and collected... it helps that he seems to be making some headway with Jasumi. What ramped up the paranoia in her, anyway, he wonders.::

That was for talking over that.

::Slithers towards you, fangs bared, claws ready to cut you to pieces.::

...over the post? ...you could have made it sound a bit less desperate and 'written in blood'-esque.

...and, you know, replied faster.

... can you at least loose the fangs? I'm starting to wonder why I want to protect you.

::Can you blame the guy for getting a bit worried?::

Protection is needed, Maybe Grepher.

::Slides in front of you.::

::...man, normally he'd like her getting close, but this isn't exactly a good situation.::

...so, should I just. Leave, and talk over the PDA? I can do that. I just. Thought you were in danger NOW, what with the post being two words.

::Just to be 'safe', Erland opts to not get up, in case it causes her paranoia to flare up more.::

... You'll stay here, Maybe Grepher.

::Her tongue flicks through the air.::

I can't let you escape if you're him.

::Man, Erland's striking out, this woman is unsatisfiable. He rubs his temples.::

Okay, I've heard of keeping friends close and enemies closer, but this is silly.

You've always been a bit paranoid, but I understood that, I suffer from a similar sort of paranoia, but this is just ridiculous. Did something happen while I wasn't paying attention, or are you just suffering from cabin fever?
