[Choose Your Own Adventure] Part 15

(A few names will be in the next book~!)

[Part 15]

“My name is actually librarian,” you say.

Then you grab your book from your satchel and flip it open so the mimic can see. Twain walks over, his ears erect. Then he stares at the first page. There’s a list of names—the people who have checked out the book.

Typically, people write their full name when the borrow they tome from the Haylin Library, but if someone forgets, you write “Librarian” in the blank spot to at least show that it had been borrowed. This specific book had the name “Librarian” written down several times.

It makes it look like perhaps someone is named Librarian.

The mimic narrows his little kitten eyes at the page.

“Really?” he balks. “Your name is Librarian?” Twain laughs. “Your parents must’ve hated you. Who can blame them with looks like yours, am I right?” He snorts a small cat snort. “You’d be more impressive if you trained up your physique. Too bad there isn’t a workout for your face.”

Twain laughs again.

Last you checked, you weren’t hideous. You suspect the mimic likes to get under people’s skin.

Before you can tuck your book away, the mimic continues his speech.

“Look—I’m going to be serious now. You seem nice, even if you’re not clever.” He waves his kitten paw through the air. “So, it would be cruel to bond with you. People are going to come to kill you and take me away. Do you really want that?”

Twain tilts his head to the side, his ears twitching. “We’re just wrong for each other. And two wrongs don’t make a right. Just look at your parents.”

Again, the mimic laughs at his own joke.

What do you do?

A) “Are you done?” Hit him on the hand with the book. “Ha! Tricked you. My name isn’t Librarian.”

B) “I don’t care about a bunch of thugs. I’m intelligent, not prank-happy child. I’ll just outsmart these black hearts and stay one step ahead.”

C) “Listen, you sound like a lot of drama. I’m just going to leave you here.”

D) “Okay—how about, you’re the brains of the outfit, and I’ll be your sidekick?”

E) “Those statements really hurt my feelings.”

F) Pick up the kitten and pet him. “D’aww. You’re so cute when you meow.”

G) “If you DON’T bond with me, what’re you going to do? Make witty comments till your enemies die of boredom?”
