Fifty Shades of Gunmetal

[tempus_fixit]

[Lucca's been especially scarce during the stinkbomb incident, content to work outdoors where the smell was... lessened. But now she has a reason to be searching the city and the rooms of the Deeps in particular.]

[Video]

My books are missing! The entire library is GONE! Ohhh gosh, if I don't find them soon... If, if anyone finds any books on robotics, circuitry, solid-state engineering or magiteck, can you bring 'em over? Please!?

[She sounds a little panicked. Everyone has their mote of security, and it seems that was hers. The books are scattered EVERYWHERE, tucked in planters, up trees, in bathrooms, being held by statues, in decorative tureens in the palace district, in coiled ropes down near the docks...]

[Also of note the drier texts are sometimes paired up with some interesting companions. Things bearing titles like "Tangled Pistons of Passion", and "Lust and Superfluids: No Resistance to the Heat." Oh my.]

Ah... [She fidgets. KOS-MOS is an android of sorts, so it doesn't seem QUITE as mortifying to let her know all the titles. Plus she'll be indispensable as a search buddy...] Okay, give me a few minutes.

[She punches up a full list and sends it to her receiver address.]

Thank you, KOS-MOS. I'd prefer you not ask too many other people. Some of those titles are... a little embarrassing.

[An android and so much more.]

Understood. I will be certain to be as discreet as is possible when searching for them. Is anything else missing?

[tempus_fixit]

Not that I noticed. I was so worried to find my books gone, that I haven't looked at much else!

[needtobecleaned]

May I suggest you check so that I can shorten the amount of time it takes to locate all the missing objects?

[tempus_fixit]

[She nods, and the camera wobbles all over as she pokes through everything. Was her room always that messy or is it that way because the Monkey King trashed it? Maybe a little bit of both.]

Just the books... My helmet is here, so is the Greendream... Wondershot...

...

Where's my underwear!?

[needtobecleaned]

[Wow, messier than the boys room on the Elsa. She won't make a comment of it though.]

Books and undergarments then. It seems to be among the most common of missing belongings, that I have seen thus far.

[tempus_fixit]

[Now she's a marvelous shade of pink as she returns to the camera, and looking pretty miffed.]

I wish that made me feel better, but I think that's not going to happen until my unmentionables aren't open for public discussion...

Thank you for going to look for it all, KOS-MOS! You're a life-saver.

[needtobecleaned]

When I locate your belongings, I will be certainly to only mention your books if you would like.

You are quite welcome.

[tempus_fixit]

That'd be perfect!

[needtobecleaned]

Very well then. I will be in contact with you again as soon as I find what is missing.
