[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!

Christopher Marlowe...

[Writing it down on a note pad]

Thank you! Is that your favorite work of his?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Probably. It's the classic 'deal with the devil' story, really.

[lifemelody]

Deal with the Devil story?

How do you mean?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

[He sounds a little surprised.]

Your world doesn't have some version of it? Someone makes a pact with a force of great evil to gain something important, or even necessary for them - evil doesn't tend to keep deals very well, though.

[lifemelody]

...Oh!

No, we have stories like that. They are always cautionary tales of power and the abuses of it.

[...like what happened with mother...]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Mm, usually true on Earth, too. That, or how you can't get everything you want in life.

[lifemelody]

[....]

A story like that maybe feel...a bit too personal right now, I'm afraid.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Mmm. Another time, maybe. It's good, but it's not worth making yourself unhappy over.

[lifemelody]

Yes, perhaps so.

Still, thank you very much! I will remember it, sir!

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

You're welcome - and the name's Nathan.

[lifemelody]

I'm Dagger. It's a pleasure to meet you, Nathan.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

A pleasure to meet you as well, Dagger.
