2 Crystals [Video]

[Private Video to Ellie//Moderate Encryption]

[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?

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!

Those are both very good choices! All of his plays are brilliant! You shouldn't just stick to the tragedies; you should read the comedies and histories as well.

If you want a break from him, you should also read Arthur Miller. Death of a Salesman is wonderful. Or if you want a laugh, there's Fools by Neil Simon or The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.

[book lovers party in the hold aw yeah]

Really? [She seems to genuinely perk up on that] I guess they left that out of the tour.

Yes, I love what I read! I plan to read all of his works, if there's enough time!

[She'll grab a small note pad and start to write those down]

Death of a Salesman, Fools and The Importance of Being Earnest...okay! I'll look for those too. Thanks!

I hope you enjoy them, then.

[smiles brightly] You're welcome! Come to me if you ever need any recommendations.

Yes, really. Are you new here?

I'm sure I will! Hamlet was incredible...

I will, Hermione! We did find the library together after all!

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
To face the slings and arrows of outrageous heartache
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing, end them".

Yes, that's one of my favorites as well.

[Oh gosh we are reciting now? She still needs to glance at the book but-]

"To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes Calamity of so long life."

[a dreamy sigh]

I would love to see this performed.

If enough people are interested, I don't see why we can't perform it ourselves.

[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?

..That's a good idea!

My friend Zidane is here now, he's been in a theater trope for a long time. I'm sure I could talk him into helping!

I can't say I've ever been in a play, but I'm very good at memorization, so I can at least help coach people on their lines.

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.

That would be good! Though you could always try your hand at acting too!

I wouldn't mind being Horatio.

"Good night, sweet prince.
May flocks of angels sing thee to thy rest".

[She totally recited that last line with you]

He was a great character- one of my favorites!

I don't know who I would be...

[At that, she averts her eyes and lets out a brief, quiet laugh.]

Painfully.

You could be anyone. Back in the old days, the players were all men. But I've heard of newer productions doing an all female cast, or some other modern interpretation. Why not a female Hamlet and a male Opehlia?

Hmmm...I like that thought. Ophelia was not a character I was very fond of.

No, she wasn't one of my favorites, either.

Hmmm...

Oh! Perhaps Laertes! I think I could give him a try.
