[3RD LOOK UP] - the best laid plans

[riderpedia.insanejournal.com]

[After the festival, Philip has been scarce. His phone has been on his bed for a few days, but he hasn't been there to answer it at all. He's pretty much been entirely outside of communication. The reason for this is that, during some wandering around, Philip discovered the light house and, more importantly, the library.

He's spent much of the past few days there, looking into how to restore books and trying to get started on that since nothing int he library is in very good condition. It's appalling to him, really. He's offended. But all the more reason for him to get to fixing it, since he doesn't see anyone else taking up the task.

Though after several days he found himself feeling very weak and realized he hadn't eaten anything since going out there. He's pretty sure Tendou is going to kill him...

So he's trying to subtly get back to the house and is trying to come up with a plan to get in, sneak food out of the kitchen, and then hide upstairs for a while until he can figure out how to lie his way out of getting lectured about his eating habits or lack there of. He's got a bag full of what few books weren't falling apart that he wants to look into, hoping for more answers about "witches".]

[Philip slumps against the tree. He's really tired, and doesn't exactly have the energy for games like this, but he needs all the help he can get, so he's trying to hold himself together.]

The name she's given us is "Lady Eureka", which seems to line up with what information I've gotten from the Planetary Bookshelves and seems to be attached to the title "The Witch Of Opportunity". But I don't know what that means yet.

I don't know what she's like though... It's possible she's dangerous, but if she intended to hurt anyone, I think sings of that would have started to appear already.

She's provided us with means to survive and communicate, so I don't think she's bad... But if she brought us here, she needs something.

But so far all I'm doing is guessing. So much of the information on her is restricted...

Eh?

[Philip thinks on this for a moment, then shakes his head.]

It can't be that simple... We all at least acknowledge this Lady Eureka... It would be impossible not to, since she brought us here. Not to mention all of the snow...

[He trails off, seeming to lose his train of thought. He seems bothered when he realizes it, since that's not something that ever happens to him.]

...I just need to find a way home. A lot of us do, and some of them are counting on me for answers.

[He stares for a moment and realizes he's probably made a complete ass of himself. This is usually Shotaro's job but he supposes since he's on his own he's filling both of there roles.]

...Then you can send me back? O-Or at least tell Everyone at home that I'm okay?

[He pushes himself off the tree, making an attempt at moving toward her again.]

Please... It's important. They probably think I'm dead again.

[ Eureka, like most witches, lacks a sense of personal space and gets all up in Philip's. ]

[Good thing he doesn't have much of a sense of personal space either. Time-space displacement isn't exactly his strong suit, so it takes him a second for that to sink in.]

...So Shotaro isn't worried about me? As far as he knows, I'm still there?

[He slumps against another tree, seeming incredibly relieved. That's a huge weight off his shoulders. If that's true, then he doesn't need to rush.]

T-That's good... Thank you.

It then occurs to him what she just called him. He's surprised for a moment before realizing she probably knows a lot more about him than that name. But none the less, he feels the need to correct her.]

...And "Sonozaki Raito" is dead. I'm just Philip.
