First Table

Subject: First Table Sat 16 Aug 2008, 12:45

This table was situated first in the line of all other places to read. It was a long wooden table with four chairs. Even though the table was way too much for just four people, it was just enough for all the books that were to be put there to wait in line for reading.

All the time she was travelling from the Mansion to the Main Base, Kuchiha had occasionally cursed the hell out of her new "friend". When she entered the Library, she pulled out of her pocket the list of books she was given by the villain and inwardly sighed when she saw the number of the stuff she had to read.
'I'd better get started or I'll never hear the end of it from that @!@#^#$ when she decides I've took too much of my time...' a scold appeared on her usually calm face and she looked around all the books, searching for the ones she needed.

'Bookman's Guide'
It has everything a bookman helper has to know, history of the previous Bookmans, and many other stuff like what is known to their world.

Kuchiha looked at one of the books which read "World History" and reached for it. Once it was in her grasp she opened the cover and briefly looked through the book, scanning it. The Bookman Helper licked her thumb and started reading the book. Page after page she turned, memorizing everything that was written there, or more of it in some cases, which she considered not so important and that repeated here and there; stuff she already knew.'Such a troublesome task,' the Yoshina girl put her chin in her palm as she closed this history book and reached for the next one.

The blackhead lazyly reached for the next book and briefly noted that its title was "Middle Ages". "Great, I bet there's lots of chapters about the plague..." murmured the Bookman Helper after she had read past half of the book and stopped for a little while so that her eyes could rest. She rubbed them and looked at the ceiling. After she grunted she returned to her reading activities, while wondering of all of these books were as boring as this one.'Many people died in Italy... bla-bla-bla... It's the same everywhere; people die,' thought Kuchiha as she turned one of the last pages. After she had read the book from cover to cover, she reached for the next one.

"WWI..." Kuchiha read out loud, while opening her next book. She was getting hungry, but licked her lips and started reading about Napoleon, his conquerings, etc. 'Wars, wars... It's the same everywhere: people die," the dark-head turned another page. 'It's plain boring... Why do people start wars when they know the outcome?'The young Bookman Helper felt frustrated, while she read passage after passage. Finally she reached the back cover and was really happy she did. She stretrched backwards and put the book on the small pile she had already read.

Kuchiha read the next title and scoffed at the sight of the word 'war'. 'Here we go again...' the Bookman Helper took her 'task' with much effort and dismay and opened it. She read some of this, some of that, some parts that she already had read in the previous book, she skipped and continued with her actions. 'After the war... It got back to normal, but I bet there will be a new war just a few years ahead in the future. Like there is now between good and evil. How plainly cliche... ' the blackhead resisted the urge to throw the book away when she finished and her hand extended towards the new one.

"Now 'History of the East' should be something else. At least I know a few stuff about it. Yosh..." Kuchiha knew she was looking rather weird whispering to herself, but doubted that anyone would notice from the bandages.
'The earliest civilizations in the region now known as the Middle East were established around 3000 BC, in Mesopotamia. The Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians,Phoenicians, Israelites and others later built important states. From about 500 BC onward...' the girl yawned yet again. This sure was troublesome but she had a few pages left and that was good, now she was skidding through the finishing lines. A-a-and... finished! She closed the book and reached towards the new one, slightly trembling at the sight of the huge pile of unread material.

Kuchiha had already busied herself with the huge volume of "European Changes". The topic was much more interesting than the stupid wars and such bull... The book was telling everything that people knew about the Old Continent from the dawn of civilization up until now.
The young Bookman Helper was starting to get very tired and sleepy from all the books she had read. She lay herself down on the table and closed her eyes so that they can rest. Still she kept herself awake and after twenty minutes or so she stood up and continued. Finally she reached the end and closed the book with a relieved sigh.

Subject: Re: First Table Sun 24 Aug 2008, 14:50

"Feudal Era" was the title of the next book. Kuchiha had already had enough with all of this, but she knew she had to keep going if she wanted to decrease the pile of books' size.
'Feudalism in 12th century England was among the better structured and established in Europe at the time. However, it could be structurally complex, which is illustrated by the example of the barony of Stafford as described in a survey of knight's fees called The Black Book Exchequer...' the blackhead frowned and scratched her head. Leaning backwards, she continued to read until she had finished with the book.

'"Birth of America"? Now what good may that do me? Their country was considered such from a few years back..." Kuchiha opened the book and started reading. The only things she found interesting were about Colymbus and his men. She didn't find it very impresive that the first white people who inhabited the continent were criminals and wh*res. Despite that, she needed to read this book, after all, it was a task given to all Bookman Helpers, whether they liked it or not.
The girl was extremely happy to find out she had reached the last sentence of the book.

'Now this is something else!' the blackhead was now holding "Culture of the British" opened in front of her.
'In a historical context, the word is used to refer to the ancient Britons, the indigenous inhabitants of Great Britain south of the Forth. Contemporary Britons are descended mainly from the varied ethnic stocks that settled there before the 11th century. The pre-Celtic, Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Norse influences were blended in Britain under the Normans, Scandinavian Vikings who had lived in Northern France,' Kuchiha read on and on until she could no longer take it and leaned back, closing the already finished book.

"Culture of the Asian Nations" was something enjoyable for the blackhead, since she knew some things that her parents had told and taught her. Some things she found fascinationg and new, which caused her to read faster, interested in what the further content of the book was. Eagerly flipping the pages, Kuchiha didn't realize when she had reached the very end of the interesting reading matter... Kuchiha sighed and her hand extended towards the next book.

Kuchiha leaned backwards and rubbed her temples. She stood up and strolled a bit along the numerous bookcases, staring at her feet, not wanting to look at another book at the moment.
'I wonder what that stupid oven is doing,' the blackhead mused over the whereabouts of her "favorite" Akuma Akai. 'Hope something gets stuck in one of her cannons and it blows up. Yes, that would be nice...' the Bookman Helper returned to her spot after half an hour or so, sitting herself and opened "Culture Over the Years".
There were some things she hadn't read before, but mostly there were facts she had already gone through. She read until she realized that she was on the last sentence and with delight closed the book, reaching for the next one...
