2nd Book Read A Accidental Video/Action for Cherrygrove Ω
[Click.
A big paw is batting at the Gear.]
Yang, stop playing with that.
[The Gear is showing the ceiling of an inn in Cherrygrove. A slender hand comes down on the camera briefly, and then the Gear is set on a table, and it shows Spencer Reid (considerably more calm now than he was on Sunday) walking back to the bed, where a very cranky Absol sits with a Munna egg wrapped in a warm towel next to him.
Also, there's half a library's worth of books piled around the room. No, seriously, if you put them all in one stack, it'd nearly be Reid's height.
Absol makes a irritable grunting noise.]
I know, I know, but we'll go out for some fresh air soon, promise. I just need to get through some more of these.
[He picks up a brick-sized book seemingly at random, sitting down on the bed with his legs crossed before placing the wrapped up egg in his lap. In retrospect, he probably shouldn't have taken one before he knew what he was doing, but he doesn't really trust the textbooks here that much and wants to make observations of development by himself.
Yes, someone has started to consider the possibility that he's not completely insane. Since he might not be insane, he wants to learn about where he is, and he wants to learn everything.
He opens up the book and started fanning through the pages, as if he were trying to find his spot, but he doesn't stop. He turns the pages so fast that he can't possibly be reading them, so it's unclear what he's doing.]
Give me half an hour. We'll go out then. And if you really want to, I guess we can go into the woods and find something for you to fight.
[...No, he still hasn't noticed that Yang turned on the Gear. People who told him this wasn't a prank should feel free to gloat and say they told him so.]

...Damn it, Yang.
Reid's body language immediately becomes hunched and awkward--he doesn't like being watched--so he marks his place in the book, goes to the Gear, and turns off the video.]
I'm not planning on reading all of them in half an hour, just maybe five.

That's still one every six minutes. Quite an achievement, even for a speed reader.

Taking walks with them helps? Why? Is it the warmth, the sun, or...?

[Gordon's pretty surprised. He hasn't seen anyone really reading up on anything besides the handbook, let alone have half a library's worth of books in their hotel room.]
I DON'T MEAN TO PRY, BUT WHAT ARE YOU READING UP ON?
[Audio]
Um, just... I didn't know much about this place, so...
[He instinctively gets quieter because oh jeeze shouting.]
I'm j-just getting context, you know, like history, geography, and what they have that approaches any kind of law or medicine, and I'm trying to learn about how to care for the egg and Absol I have.
[Audio]
THAT IS A VERY GOOD IDEA. WISH I HAD DONE THAT. IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING, WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT THE LAW HERE? I HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH, AND THE LITTLE I HAVE HEARD HASN'T BEEN VERY REASSURING.

Action;
Besides, aside from his awkwardness, Reid was good company. And it wasn't like she didn't have her own share of awkwardness, but he hadn't seemed to mind her need to watch the sun rise every morning, half in fear that it wouldn't, or her wariness over the forest area in general. It had been a calming relief to finally see the town.
But she hovers in the doorway, eyeing the books with a sort of resigned amusement; she still hasn't been able to smile, really, but it's better than it was.]
I was wondering if you'd been buried... [Yami peers around her, still her only pokemon due to Mio's reluctance to catch another one]
Action;
Absol! [Yang makes a loud noise, pleading with Mio to get his Trainer to actually train him instead of read, but Reid doesn't pay mind.]
It would take four hundred textbooks of average weight to crush a human skull, so I think I'm safe for now. [He looks up at her, giving a small smile.] How do you like Cherrygrove so far?

[Twilight has an odd, goofy grin on her face.]
Don't let him wait too long before you follow him outside. Take it from a fellow bibliophile, it's way too easy to get lost in the flood of new information and forget to take care of a few necessities.
[Like eating... and sleeping... and bathing... Yeah it's a good thing Twi has a travel partner to look after her.]
no subject
Yeah, Reid would have just sort of wasted away years ago without friends occasionally coming to his house and dragging him out somewhere. Who needs sleep when they have books?] I know, I know, but I want to make sure I know everything I can about this place. I really don't have a lot of context to put it in. And what if there's something important I need to do to take care of my animals and I don't know what it is?
[Yang makes a loud Absol! He can tell you something important for you to do. TAKE HIM OUT. TRAIN HIM. MAKE HIM BIG AND STRONG.]

He'll distract himself from his envy by being impressed.]
How long did it take you to get all those books there? Are you really going to read them all?
[video]
Oh, not really long at all, actually. Yang was really helpful about some on his back, and the librarian had a... [It's still a little painful for him to say the names of Pokemon.] Machop who was great about helping.
Sure I'm going to read them all. [He lets out a soft laugh.] Why would I take them all if I wasn't going to?

Doing a little light reading?
*of course, it may or may not be unsettling to Reid to see that this guy still has visible horns from an event two months ago, though they're not nearly as large and obvious as they were before...*
Video
Y-yeah. I just took enough to last me the day--I'm not sure how long we're staying.

You gonna read all of those, or are you building a fort?
[Serious question.]
[video]
I, uh, I'm planning on reading all of them.

[Alright. Babytalk and speaking in the third person.
He can deal with this.]
This is, uh, this is an Absol. Yang? He's the first animal I got.
Video [my sister got me into that show so hard.]
Video [And next season starts Wednesday. SO EXCITE.]
Video [Also, Dawson was a jackass to him D:.]
Video [Dawson?]
Video [Dawson from Dawson's Creek. :D;;;]
Video [Ffff I'll forever know him as Tobias Hankel XD]
Video [He was pretty good in that two parter, though.]
Video [Yeah, seriously! Surprisingly so. Not easy to play three different characters]
Video [So true! All very different characters too!]

Just....dude!
