[Garnet is clearly trying to maintain her calm, but she has the excitement vibe that is clear of any person who really wants to talk about a new geeky thing.]

I finished Hamlet.

[As for the rest, will get a video of a young woman in what appears to be her room....a room that has a fair amount of books in it now]

Hello. My name is Dagger and I was wondering if anyone could give me any recommendations of books or plays to read. Even with my duties of training and the cafe, I keep finding myself with a lot of time on my hands. So I'd really like to know new stories to read.

My favorite genre is plays and dramas, such as Lord Avon's work- or William Shakespeare, who seems to be an Earth playwright with a similar style. Though I'd be open to other genres as well.

Thanks!

[did somebody call for literature recommendations?]

Which of Shakespeare's plays have you read already, Dagger?

[lifemelody]

I've just finished Hamlet. Next I'm going to read either MacBeth or Romeo & Juliet.

[Well, if this doesn't totally ping Bella or what! Reading's kind of her thing. Shakespeare's kind of her thing.

However, before any recs, there's a more pertinent issue:]

Where did you get those?

[Aw yeah, let's get all us book lovers together]

There's a library at the Hold. It's huge- much bigger than any library I've seen before!

[He's not exactly immediately invested in the topic, other than she's the first person he's seen talking about any form of reading and-

Well, surprisingly for some maybe, Kirk enjoys antique books, and he's bored enough to generate a little conversation]

That's not really a genre. That's a method of storytelling. Horror, romance, comedy, action- That's a genre.

[Not all book genre's, but whatever, he doesn't care. Umbrella terming yay!] Want to narrow down what you're looking for?

[lifemelody]

Oh- right! Of course. How silly of me.

I quite enjoy tragedies or adventure. Romance is nice too, but it has to have meaning. [She has no care for absurd ones] Stories with deeper meanings, I suppose are the ones that I prefer best.

If you like Shakespear, you might enjoy some of Christopher Marlowe's work - he was a contemporary of Shakespeare's. 'Doctor Faustus' is probably his most famous play.

[lifemelody]

Christopher Marlowe...

[Writing it down on a note pad]

Thank you! Is that your favorite work of his?

An avid reader, are you? Allow me to make some recommendations to you as well.

[lifemelody]

Yes, I am!

And thank you! I'd love that, Alice!

Plays and dramas? Huh...

Don't really know too many of those. Sorry.

[lifemelody]

Oh that's okay. Do you know any other sorts of stories?

( books. cute girl. cute girl asking about books.

be still his beating heart. )

If it's something to read you want, then I have a suggestion for you!

[lifemelody]

[Yes, a cute girl that even smiles excitedly when she hears someone might have another suggestion]

Really? I would love more suggestions! What is it?

I found what seems to be a very old copy of a charming little book called "A Little Princess" by an author named Frances Hodgson Burnett. I quite enjoyed it, and I wouldn't mind if you wanted to borrow it!

[lifemelody]

A Little Princess?

[THE IRONY]

I'd like that, what is it about?

[Coby felt bad, if only because he was hardly delving into any kind of literature that could fall under the purvey of 'artistic'. In fact, he quietly shut the book of military history he had opened in front of him, frowning guiltily.]

Are they interesting? Those plays, I mean.

[lifemelody]

[Oh no Coby, you triggered the geekery]

Oh they're very interesting! Stories of love, betrayal, revenge, the meanings of being alive! They're incredible!

Just so you're aware, miss--

Holy Knight is twenty-odd volumes full of cliche, unimaginative drivel. But that's not the worst of it. The worst thing about Holy Knight is its rabid fans.

[Yep, he's still stalking this post despite not addressing its original poster yet. And who's the one complaining about proper behavior all the time?]

WHAT?! How could you say something like that?! I doubt you've even read it!

[Someone that strong probably didn't have time to read no matter how good the books might be.]

[lifemelody]

Drivel? Rabid fans?

[...Okay wow she can kinda see that with Elliot]

Are you sure they're truly that bad?

[flecks]

[ wow okay the one thing he wasn't expecting when he checked out this post: holy knight wank.

what is his life. ]

I apologize for all the idiots talking about Holy Knight, Miss Dagger. [ He actually manages to look apologetic too! ] If you'd like to read a strange little tale, I'd suggest Alice In Wonderland.

[Okay, someone really needs to have a talk with this kid for addressing a fourth person here without saying word one to Dagger.]

WATCH IT WITH THAT FOUL MOUTH OF YOURS! You're the one who casually discusses spoilers from the recent volumes!

[gunsling]

You're a Shakespeare fan, Dagger? Well I don't know all that much about the plays he's done, but I know some great movie adaptions if you can ever get your hands on some of those DVDs.

[video]

[lifemelody]

Movie adaptations? DVDs? What are those?

[Well the good news is he does listen to his servant when he tells him he's done something wrong. Eventually. So have a very awkward looking teen mumbling instead of shouting.]

...

I'm sorry.

[video]

[lifemelody]

[And she notices how awkward that guy looks. And will...be merciful!]

It's alright. No one was hurt.

private video FOREVER

[reconnaissance]

Yeah? What did you think?

( DRAMA NERDS NERDING TOGETHER )

AND EVER

It was...incredible! I didn't seen that ending coming, yet it made perfect sense!
