[ So if you just happen to be walking through Luceti today, you might spot a girl sitting on the ground next to a tree at the side of the road. Her journal is opened in her lap, and it seems she's rather focused on reading it. See, there's nothing weird about that, but.. she's still wearing the New Feather dress and doesn't seem bothered or confused by the whole 'arriving in another place' ordeal in the slightest as long as she can read. In fact, she probably doesn't even realise she's not back home anymore, or that she has wings on her back. She's also turning the pages at a ridiculous speed, as if she needs barely any time to read a page. It looks more like she's skimming than anything else, but nope, she's actually reading all of that. ... Maybe someone ought to help her out.

Or you might run into her later during the day instead. If you're just standing somewhere around the village, you might find the girl staring at you for a long time, almost as if she's observing you long enough to decide something. After what is probably multiple minutes the girl might approach you a little hesitantly (she's making sure you're not a bully, okay, it's in everyone's best interests), only to quickly bow at you in greeting. ]

Hello. Bonjour. Guten Tag. Konnichiwa. Nihao. Salve. Hallo. [ Yes, she'll just start listing off 'hello's in almost every kind of language known to humankind to you. And if you don't cut her off, she'll continue until she has at least done it in 54 different languages. So better do something about that, yup. ]

Why not go back there, then? [Someone should tell her about the book club as well. Someone.]

[etudes]

[ it's okay, that much already happened in some future thread!! ]

I'll go back later.. Maybe I shouldn't read all the books at once, since I might run out of them, then.

[bloodypocket]

Even if you were to run out, I've heard that new books are always appearing. There shouldn't be need to worry.

[etudes]

Appearing..? [ she blinks a few times, almost idly. ]

Do you mean they come out of nowhere?

[bloodypocket]

If they are able to bring us into this world, why should books be any different?

[etudes]

Because books are much different from humans.. They can't live, talk or think for themselves, so maybe they can only pull humans in here and not objects.

[bloodypocket]

Then explain to me how they are able to replenish the marketplace and restore dwellings? [It's mostly a rhetorical question, he's mostly curious to see what her answer will be.]

[etudes]

They could make their own things, right? Maybe they have a special Malnosso farm somewhere.

[ this seems to make complete sense to her. ]

[bloodypocket]

And it wouldn't be possible for them to create their own literature? [Not that he claims to know everything about this place, not at all.]

[etudes]

I don't know.. That would mean they would have to be pretty good writers, right?

[bloodypocket]

Do you have doubt in their ability to write and create fantasies?

[etudes]

I haven't seen them doing it before, so. ... ah. I guess I can't tell.
