Free Pizza at the Bookstore [OPEN]

[intrepidsister]

WHO: Evie Frye, Jacopo Bearzatti, and ANYONE who likes either books or pizza!
WHERE: The bookstore where Evie works which desperately needs a name!
WHEN: 2/16
WHAT: The bookstore is having a special sale, get a free slice of pizza when you buy a book!
WARNINGS: None, but will update if necessary!



The usually lonely bookstore is hopping with people, which isn't very difficult because if you get at least five people in there, it probably looks more hopping than usual. Has everyone suddenly rediscovered a love of books and knowledge? Probably not.

Because amongst all the dusty bookshelves are tables filled with greasy pizza boxes. Apparently, every purchase over a certain amount comes with a free slice of pizza! What a great way to get the kids to read! Thank you, mysterious and generous benefactor for helping out this poor little bookstore.

Perhaps you saw a flyer somewhere, someone posting about it on the network, or you were drawn in by the delicious scent of hot pizza. Or maybe you actually care about books and not pizza? Either way, if you're here there's plenty of both reading and eating to be done. You could also potentially bother the very tired employee who doesn't seem super stoked about the pizza. On second thought, you should probably just enjoy yourself and ignore her.

Hm...

[If it was any other day, she might've given a quick answer, but she smiles mischievously.]

Older art or an older book? Although, I suppose those could go hand in hand, as an older book would be about older art even if it was contemporary...

[It's sort of an honest question?]

Togusa smiles but he has to honestly think about the question. "I do love older books, so if you've got something older, I'd be glad to pay extra for it." For what Togusa has in mind, an older book would be more interesting anyway.

"There's a couple of pieces from home that I've wanted to show to some of my friends." And to check for birds.

[Don't tell her manager, but she really doesn't care about that pay extra thing. It likely wouldn't benefit her and if something's listed at that price, it might as well be sold at that price. She kneels down, examining the bookcase herself before pulling out a book on some equivalent of Hokusai and handing it to him.]

There's this, but you'd like something older than that, right? I'm afraid I don't know much about that area myself, since I've mostly studied the Renaissance and prehistoric times. As for older books, you'd have more luck searching for used books. They should either be marked as such, or be shelved on a specific bookcase. We might also have general books on Japanese art or all over art history.

Togusa's eyebrows raise in interest. "Really? I came to the right place, then. Edo period art, though, should be close to what I'm looking for."

But color Togusa very very interested. He is idly flipping through the book, but asks, "Prehistoric art? Does that really get evaluated in the same way as even Renaissance art? It's got to be fascinating, but I know nothing about it."

Togusa hesitates when he gets to a particular page in the book. Because the rider there is very much no longer on a horse, but on a yellow bird. Togusa is trying not to react visibly, but he is swearing internally. So much for this theory.
