[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!

"Concise," Lord Elliot?

[nobleminded]

Exactly! Trying to add to it would just ruin the current pacing!

[maddeninghatter]

Why yes - twelve pages of plot and twenty-two volumes worth of filler rather than twenty-one. I can see how that would ruin the story completely. ♥

THAT IS NOT WHAT HOLY KNIGHT IS LIKE! LITTLE PIECES HAVE LED TO PLENTY OF LARGER REVELATIONS LATER!

[maddeninghatter]

Revelations?

Why, what an odd choice of words. It's as if you believe this story isn't completely and entirely predictable.

[nobleminded]

It's not odd at all! I'll admit that some things I saw coming, like the fate of that jerk Edgar. But the plot twists involving the villain weren't easy to spot, if it was possible at all!

[maddeninghatter]

That jerk Edgar...

[ Appearing to be carefully examining the cuff of his frilly sleeve. ]

So - you have difficulty fathoming the motives and movements of villains, do you?

[nobleminded]

Anyone would in fiction where it's intended to be a surprise!

[maddeninghatter]

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Do you know - just now, you remind me of Gilbert.

[nobleminded]

WHAT?! DON'T COMPARE ME TO THAT SHAMELESS COWARD!

[maddeninghatter]

Hmm, well - it's true that you've got more pride than he does. But deeeeeeeeep down, the two of you are very....

[ Wait for it, waaaaaait for it! ]

....simple!

[nobleminded]

QUIT SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT, XERXES BREAK! I'M NOTHING LIKE HIM!

[But you're still his idol, no worries.]

[maddeninghatter]

Why, Lord Elliot! There's no need to get so upset.

I'm complimenting you, after all~♥

video;

[nobleminded]

How is comparing me to that guy a compliment?!

video;

[maddeninghatter]

I merely meant to observe that there's a reason neither of you can comprehend the motives of a villain. And that's because the best person to understand a bad man is...

[ Wryly: ]

...a bad man.

video;

[nobleminded]

Are you saying that only a villain could tell who a fictional villain is before it's revealed?

video;

[maddeninghatter]

Hmm, well. I suppose perhaps there's another explanation....

video;

[nobleminded]

...

And that is what?!

video;

[maddeninghatter]

You're a moron~☆

video;

[nobleminded]

WHAAAAT?! HOW DARE YOU, XERXES BREAK?!

[Viciously kicking his ass in swords he could accept but name calling?!]

[maddeninghatter]

[ Emily chimes in: ]

MORON MORON MORON!

[nobleminded]

WHY DOES A MAN LIKE YOU CARRY AROUND THAT RIDICULOUS DOLL IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

video;

[maddeninghatter]

Insulting a lady, Lord Elliot? Tut, tut! How disappointing. All this talk of honor, and you're nothing but a blackguard in the end.

video;

[nobleminded]

I HAVE MORE HONOR THAN YOU IN THIS CASE, XERXES BREAK!

That's not even a lady, it's a doll! How can you act like something without a soul is alive?!

video;

[maddeninghatter]

You think all ladies have souls? Ha! Ha! Ha! Tell me another. Next you'll be insisting they all have hearts!
