A summer reading list? What's that?

[exploring_game]

Books you're supposed to read so you don't get lazy between school years.

[born_from_mist]

School years? What's that?

[born_from_mist]

Is it something important?

[exploring_game]

It's...yeah, back home it's really important, if you play hookey and don't go to school, your parents will get in big trouble.

A school year is from September to June. You go every day except for weekends.

[born_from_mist]

Hmm... I-I don't think we had that in my world. But a summer reading list sounds kinda neat.

[exploring_game]

What did you read back home?

[born_from_mist]

I used to read plays with my Grandpa.

[exploring_game]

What kind of plays? Shakespeare?

[born_from_mist]

I-I don't think I've heard of "Shakespeare" plays...

[exploring_game]

Really? They're famous where I'm from...Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer Night' Dream, That Scottish Play with the name that's bad luck to say?

[born_from_mist]

T-there's a play that causes bad luck..?!

[exploring_game]

Uh huh! If you say its name!

[born_from_mist]

W-wow... I-I haven't heard of any of those plays... b-but I got to see one called "I Want To Be Your Canary". M-my friends were in it.

[Sort of. Before things went awry with the Princess' kidnapping.]

[exploring_game]

I Want to Be Your Canary?

Was it any good? A musical, or a drama, or did it make you laugh?

[born_from_mist]

I think... it was a love story. I liked it, it was the first time I ever saw a play before.
