A. ACTION
[ Waking up in a strange place was one thing.

Waking up in a strange place after the last thing you remember was a bath and a toaster was another.

But waking up in a strange place after remembering the bath and the toaster and not having your phone to check your horoscope or find out what your lucky item of the day was because you sure as hell need one if the first two are happening? That's a whole other beast entirely.

There's something of an inward panic on multiple levels going on right now, especially when he'd plopped down on the roof of the library and is now presently peeking over the side. In fact, the scene might be comparable to a very annoyed cat trying to figure out how to jump down off of something he probably shouldn't have climbed in the first place. But Midorima won't meow, no, he's too stubborn. He'll just look incredibly pissed off at the ground being so far away. ]

B. TEXT
[ Once Midorima had finally gotten down and had settled a little, he headed back to the library. If there were computers there, he could check his horoscope and at least have that small comfort to deal with the fact that he was suddenly dead.

You know, except there was no horoscope so he was just going to have to ask. ]

How do you access Oha Asa on these computers? The site says it can't be found.

[ That's the real important shit to know after you're dead, after all. ]

[ his soul is crying

okay not really he's just getting a headache from having to explain all this crap while not knowing it's a little kid so she doesn't have the excuse of being a kid yet ]

hor·o·scope
[hawr-uh-skohp, hor‐]
noun
1.
a diagram of the heavens, showing the relative position of planets and the signs of the zodiac, for use in calculating births, foretelling events in a person's life, etc. See illus. under zodiac.

2.
a prediction of future events or advice for future behavior based on such a diagram.

[ take that, enjoy your definition. hmph. ]

[It's a lousy definition. All this does is raise more questions!]

Wheres the picture
It says diagram a lot so shouldnt there be a picture then Ill get what youre saying
Maybe you forgot to draw it

[Don't even get her started on asking what the heck 'the zodiac' is. Or what foretelling is. All these words man.]

It references the daily positions of the stars. The diagram changes because the sky moves, so I can't provide you with an accurate illustration of the top of my head.

Look up star maps in the library.

I didnt know the sky moved I thought only the clouds did that
I can go look up star maps now I guess
Will the maps tell me what the zodiac is too

The Earth rotates on its own axis and around the sun. The moon rotates around the earth and the universe expands. It's natural that the stars would move. If they didn't, they wouldn't mean anything for the future.

The library should have that information as well.

[ Though he definitely has most of the basics memorized.. He'll grace this girl with his knowledge ok. ]

When were you born?

[Thanks for the lesson man. She didn't really get a lot of that, but oh well. She'll just have to look up anything she doesn't understand when she goes to look at those star maps. If learning about stars is still interesting to her by the time she gets there anyway.]

Wow
Its like going to class on the computer
You could be a teacher maybe

[As for his question...]

I dont know

[ OK THERE IS A LOT OF SHIT HE CAN PUT UP WITH ~~not well but he can put up with it~~ BUT HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BORN THIS MAKES NO SENSE ]

How are you not aware? Didn't your parents tell you?

[BEING A PAINTING HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT OKAY.]

No
No one ever told me

[And parents? Hoo boy, parents. That's a thing.]

You've never celebrated it?

[ He's thinking something strange might've happened that is kind of giving him a more forgiving feeling toward this person. If she doesn't know her birthday, there might be a reason she doesn't know about horoscopes okay. ]

No never
I didnt know you could celebrate when you were born though
How do you do that

[What's a birthday. It's a little surprising she doesn't know what a birthday is, considering there's birthday cake and all sorts of sweet things at birthday parties, but here we are.]

It is a date that you celebrate your birth on. You may throw a party if you choose, but it is traditional for others to provide you with gifts for it. The day you are born on also can be used to read the stars that you were born under and predict the future within a certain range.

[Yeahstarsokaywhatever- Party? Gifts? Hello!]

Wow
I wish I knew about all this sooner
How can you find out when you were born if you dont know here though
Can I find out in the library

I just got here, so I wouldn't know yet. You may consider requesting a transcript since this is a school. Most schools have your date of birth on record.

How would I do that
Would I need to ask a teacher
Or do I need to go to a certain building to get a transcript

I'm not familiar with this school's exact process but the administrative building should have the answers.

[ That's what it is at most schools.. though he's not sure why he's still in one in the afterlife... ~~Unless Akashi is here because he needs to beat him at the basketball ok.~~ ]

I know where that is

[It's hard to tell, being text and all, but she's actually pretty excited that she already knows about the administrative building. ~~Some red haired loser with mismatched eyes told her about it. He might have liked bball or something too.~~]

So I can go to the administrative building
And the library
To find out about stars and when I was born
I have a lot to do today

Can you tell me where the administrative building is?

[ After all, he's found the library but it's good to know where the people in charge are.. ]

[It's happening. She's been here long enough that she can tell people who are new where things are. She's going to be helpful!]

I can I can
If you leave the dining hall and look right just keep walking and youll find it
Or if you find the gardens its near those too
And the classrooms its really close to those

Directions from the library.

[ At least he's direct about what he wants. ]

[She gave you like three ways of getting there. Stop being picky dude.]

Oh
You have to walk towards a sports field then up some stairs and then youll see the classrooms so thats one way
The other way is really long and you have to walk for ages up a slope to get there

[ He has no idea where he is okay!! ]

I'll take that route.

[Excuses!! But wait, misunderstandings ho.]

What why I said its longer
Youll be really tired by the time you get there

[Specifying stuff in text is hard okay.]

I meant the shorter one that you specified.

[ Wow why would he take the long one girl ]

[Maybe he feels like a work out after being stuck on that roof for so long!]

Oh
You didnt specify though you just said that route
And I told you about two different ones
I thought you meant the last one

You didn't describe the second one beside that it was the long way.

[ Why on earth would he agree to something that was that vague lil girl?? ]
