Is that one from the library? They bite less if you pet them a little.

[ghostduster]

Pet them? Are you sure?

[t-trying gingerly to pet it]

[canned_al]

It usually works on the ones I've seen.

[ghostduster]

Well, this is my first biting book! I've been bitten by a lot of things, but -- books definitely weren't on the list til now!

[pet pet ... oh hey it's loosening]

[canned_al]

Ah . . . you must be new. It isn't that surprising when you've been in this place for so long.

[ghostduster]

I didn't think book-biting was common in America.

[canned_al]

Well . . . ah. Voices can be deceiving?

[ghostduster]

I-it wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've seen ... jeez, but you still startled me.

[canned_al]

Sorry . . . I didn't mean to.

[ghostduster]

It's not your fault! I've been so distracted with cleaning, and apparently AMNESIA, and -- gah, I'm tired already.

[canned_al]

Amnesia?

[ghostduster]

... yeah. I -- I think I forgot this place entirely.
