A rather odd looking home for the Shahou village, it is quite clearly Libros' It is a tree home as all the others are in the village , however it is painted in a such a way that is gives the appearance of being a house of cards.
The home is within view of the entire village, high within an old tree. At the base of the tree are three thick wooden targets, all at different heights, each a different size, all of them are full of marks.
Around the tree is a small stage made by Libros, there are various props around the area for his performances.
The only way into the house is by solving a riddle. "Are you coming or going? Is it snowing? If so where?"
If this question is answered correctly the entrance to the house will make itself apparent. Libros is the only one who does not have to answer his own riddle.
If once gets inside the house they will find rather normal furniture. A bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and den.

Libros walked up to his home after leaving the practice field. His home was quite close to village, and within sight for all to see, it was exactly how he wanted it.
The target at the base of his home's tree was looking mighty fine to hit right now. So he did, he pulled a full deck of 52 cards out and launched them all at the thick wooden target, it only took eight seconds for him to perform the entire action. "tch, still too slow..."
Then he began to juggle knives, he always kept three on the ground at the base of his tree.

Arroyo walked up to the assorted trees but saw no house nor hide or hair of a man. "Pyew I'm tired why this guy gotta live so far. Grugh" Arroyo sat down in his wagon he always carried along with him tired but not winded. He then shouted with all his might. "Hey! Funny Hat! You there! If so we need ta have little talk! Don't make me get out one o me faux Ballistas!" The shout echoed birds flew,squirrels ran, deer grew alert and fled the common thing when Arroyo was around.

Libros leaped from his tree top home down towards Arroyo. He landed without a sound, say for the bells jingling on his hat. "Hello, No need to shoot my home. What is it you want?" He said smiling. His hands went into his pockets and pulled out three balls, which he proceeded to juggle.

Arroyo was mesmerized at the spinning balls drooling at the rotation just staring like a dunce. He then ceased shook his head getting droll all over the ground then spoke. "Ah there a house here? I don't see nuttin. bah never mind. Ya see the boss be wanting us to so something at the Nuvarra Isles to find some guy named Rednel. With that much being said we gotta find this moody mute named Gamma to halp us. Ya ask me that stiffs a jerk. But he's got moves he does. So I'll leave the askin ta ya. Yer name is Libro right Mr. funny hat not ta me rude or nuttin." Arroyo's large body created a shadow that practically covered libro's body though there wasn't much of a height difference between the two.

Libros was examining this large man in front of him. He stopped juggling the balls catching them all and restoring them to his pocket. "Okay, big man. We need to get to the Nuvarra isles then." He smiled and awaited Arroyo to move. "Ah, yes. By the way my name is Libros....not Mr....Funny Hat." His eye twitched for a moment, then he snapped back smiling.
Libros knew that this man was Arroyo a Master, if he recalled. He had seen him around the village many times throughout his time alive.

Arroyo saw the twitch as a dark smile developed within Arroyo's mind. "Aight Mr.Funny Hat, Libro it is. Now then before we get goin or comin." Arroyo trailed off.. Ya know what If I knew whether I was comin or goin I wouldn't be ere would I. Aight then what was I gonna do. Oh ya thats right." Arroyo dismounted the bow made of various bones from his back its designs were incredible. One would say it makes ugly look good. Arroyo armed the bow with a arrow upon it was a carving of a symbol. Then aiming it at a large tree away from libro's grove fired the arrow at the thickest largest tree he could find implanting it within the tree. There was a bell at the end of the arrows tail that chimed at the moment of impact. The knock back from the bow created a strong wind but Arroyo still stood strong and tall. That's the arrow of luck and good fortune. Pa said thats what brought the meat on the table, I never argued cause that meat was always pretty huge. Well if the bell chimes the moment we come back to your homestead. In the case we done a good job we did. Might be finding some gold if you dig under its roots if your real lucky buuut you never know with these things. Arroyo mounted his bow on his back again professionally then grabbed the rope of his wagon. "Now then time to find stiff. Comin Mr. Funny Hat?" Arroyo proceeded to walk he knew he had to start soon or he would always be left behind in the end.

The wind from the arrow made the bells on Libros' hat jingle, however he himself did not move. "Gold? Sounds good. I hope it rings, it means we did a good job. Haha, Now then let's go."
Libros followed Arroyo, walking along side him. "Who is it we need to find exactly?" he asked forgetting already.

Then again who cares about his name less you can speak sign language like I can in small portion ya couldn't figure it out." Arroyo then headed toward Keyn'ai's home.

((figure I might as well "join in" since I'm back. And of course by "join in" I mean "mysteriously stalk the group".))
High up in the very tops of the trees a good 500 meters away the cloaked and hooded man silently sat. He had been around for awhile but simply remained hidden, waiting. It was his profession to remain hidden and silent, something he excelled at.
His smoldering red eyes were closed for once, he was concentrating, focusing on the sound of Libros voice from that distance. The one known as Gamma knew how to listen, even away from what most people would. Of course he needed no concentration to hear Arroyo, actually it was only at this distance that the lumber giant didn't sound like he was screaming anymore with the voice of a thousand dying crows.
So, he had been assigned with a fool by profession and a fool by nature to go and... not... kill someone. As horrible and idiodic as that sounded his previous work had become extremely dull, and like it or not this work was not dull.
He prefered being at this distance, away from people, especially the giant. It was better to be this far away, the urge to kill was less.
