[Phone call! To the whole town! Except the drones and the usual meddling authority figures. The call is in a moderately hushed tone, but he's easily understandable.]

So, I see that there are many new people, and you may count yourselves as lucky as you can in this place because Dist the Rose is here to take care of you all. I'm sure you've been informed as to the basics of Mayfield, but I've put together a lovely little primer for just this kind of occasion, giving you all of the details you need to bring you fully up to speed, including the most important things that have been inflicted upon us since the first of us can remember arriving here. If you would like to be informed, then come to the library to pick up a copy. If you can't find it, ask any drone where it is, they'll be able to tell you. Look for a gorgeous man with pale hair; someone as extraordinary as myself will stand out.

[And, just a little louder but no so much so that he's quite up to normal talking level.]

And be sure to pick up your free library card! Knowledge is power and all that.

[And there Dist will be, flitting about, stacking things and shelving things and generally keeping himself busy. He'll also be available to assist anyone who just so happens to be in the library themselves, though every so often he'll have to stop and sit to rest a bit, possibly get down a granola bar outside the view of the head librarian. He can't fit his chair through the door, let alone down the aisles of books, so he's walking everywhere and carrying things and with his condition this tires him out quickly.]

[The library.. is a rather comforting place for a magus like Rin Tohsaka. So she'll accept the invitation to indulge in more information about this place, as well as pick up a book or two. If she wasn't able to practice with her magic, she'd have to keep her mind sharp one way or the other.]

You. [Said rather bluntly.] Are you the man who called my house today?

[Well, that's not a good way to get on Dist's good side at all. He frowns, shelving the book he's holding.]

I called everyone's house. My name is Dist, not you. What do you want?

[Rin Tohsaka cares little for good sides as she glances up at the book he put away.]

That's a rude introduction. You know, there have been a lot of phone calls and I'm sure they are pissing my so-called father off. Do you know how frustrating it is for the master to become the supposed servant?

[She manages a tiny sigh, flipping her hair over her shoulders.]

I came here seeking information you offered to give, but I won't tell you if I am a newcomer or not.

I don't care if you're a newcomer; I'm generous enough to give my letter to anyone who asks. I don't care about the calls you've been getting, either.

[Ugh. Being utterly selfless and generous isn't always pleasant, is it? He starts to lead her to the front desk.]

[She follows after him with the same pretentious walk she came into the library with.]

You don't care that I am a newcomer? What if I were an enemy of your's just seeking the information you had? You willingly give away this informatio--

[And she pauses.]

What do you want in return for your information?

I--

[Oh. Oh oh, this is an opportunity. But he can't think of anything right now, so he merely shrugs it off, doing his best to hide a conniving grin.]

Well, I'm amazingly generous, so I'll simply take your name now and ask for my favor in the future, yes?

If you insist. A lot of others do the same thing. Eventually I'm going to be asked too many favors of me at once, but that's alright. A great magus like myself will be able to handle it when the time comes.

I'm a magus of my word though and you have it, as long as the information is valuable.

The information is irreplaceable.

[Oh, of course she could always go and piece together all of it slowly, but for one she doesn't need to know that and for another... well, having people need him is an ego trip.

He leans down to rummage around under the counter.]

Fine, fine. Then I'll do whatever you want at a later time. It can't be that difficult to get in touch with me if you need.

[She entertains herself by looking around at the bookcases while rocking on her heels.]

Any books on magecraft?

There's nothing useful here. Believe me, I've looked.

[He stands again and holds out one of his letters. (http://buildstherobots.livejournal.com/12857.html)]

It's all watered-down "appropriate" nonsense.

Then I will thank you for keeping the flab off of my mind.

[Rin reaches out to try to take the letter from his hold.]

Just how much information is in this?
