[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!

Why, you're much, much smarter than you look, Oz~♥

I'll take that as a compliment!

[Wow this is certainly something else. Where did all these people even come from???]

[Though she does feel a bit bad for the guy so...]

I'll tell you what, I'll read Holy Knight and give it a fair chance.

( he is so so sorry for everyone he knows )

It's only a suggestion. ( okay he can't not address the clusterfuck ) It seems like some of my friends got a little overexcited about it! I couldn't blame you if you weren't too sure after that.

( not that he didn't also but shhh )

Yes. I can see they are quite...lively about it. [To put it nicely]

But it's okay! I'll still read them. It's not like I'd have lost much by reading something I end up not liking.

[velveteened]

That's true! I'd rather have read a story than not, even if I didn't like it. And how else would I find what I do like, right?

[lifemelody]

Exactly!

When I was a child, in truth I hated reading. But then my tutor gave me some a Lord Avon play that I was very taken with. After that, I realized just what I had been missing out on with reading! Just think if I had never tried that book- I would've missed out on so much!

[velveteened]

I used to get impatient. ( he laughs ) It's much more fun to go outside and play, right? But once I gave reading a chance, I realized I really loved it!

It must've been a great play to change your mind. I used to go to the theatre sometimes to see the productions of ones I'd read.

[lifemelody]

...Ah, right! [She's a princess, what is going outside and playing?]

A truly wonderful play! It's one of my favorites, even today. And every year, a theater trope would perform at the castle- the years that they performed that play were my favorites.

[velveteened]

Wooow, you got to go and see performances at a castle? How lucky!

( pitched to surprise and admiration! but he also wants to see what she has to say about that, because at least in his world, not just anyone can waltz into the royal home, performance or no )

video;

[lifemelody]

Ah- [Oh right, she'll have to cover this up]

Y-Yes. The castle would allow people who could obtain tickets to come see the plays when they were performed. I was fortunate to go!

[Yeah. Totally smooth there]

video;

[velveteened]

( so smooth. he is totally convinced. )

It sounds like it! The royal family of your country must be really nice.

[lifemelody]

[...]

They were, yes. The Queen is much beloved by her people.

video;

[velveteened]

( they were nice, but the queen is much beloved? he's not really here to pry, but he can't help but wonder )

I can see why! Such patrons of the arts can only have good taste, right?

[ITS A LONG STORY OZ....]

Ah- yes. Exactly.

[velveteened]

Ah, I almost forgot! My name is Oz Vessalius. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Dagger.

video;

[lifemelody]

Please, just Dagger. And it's nice to meet you as well, Oz.

video;

[velveteened]

Dagger, then! Could you do me a favor?

video;

[lifemelody]

Hm? I could try...What sort of favor?

video;

[velveteened]

Would you mind telling me some of your suggestions? I want to know about more books to read, too!

video;

[lifemelody]

Oh! Of course I wouldn't mind!

My favorite recommendation would be Lord Avon's work. He was a playwright in my world and he wrote many plays! One of favorites is I Want to Be Your Canary.

video;

[velveteened]

What is it about?

video;

[lifemelody]

It's about two warring countries and the forbidden love between a princess and a commoner.

video;

[velveteened]

Wow! I'll have to see if that one's in the library.

video;

[lifemelody]

Wonderful! I'm sure you'll find it- I found it in there before!

I truly hope you enjoy it!
