give me books, in every cranny and all the nooks

[gunninginasuit]

I was wondering if perhaps anyone could recommend a good book? I know there was a library around here somewhere, but I've yet to make use of it. Presuming the island hasn't swallowed it up, of course~

Aha, I just figured I need something else to do here besides waste bullets. ♥

Though I've yet to see it myself, I'm afraid I would find any library that the island has to offer a bit suspect, ah ha ha. . .

[gunninginasuit]

...You know, that never crossed my mind!

[polite_sinner]

Well, really, I'm just a little, ah, wary of what happens to actually be available for check-out. I'm sure Island-san means well in providing us with a library, however~.

[gunninginasuit]

You never can tell~ Most days I think the island is only out to annoy us, then others I forget it's alive at all!

[polite_sinner]

Ah ha ha, indeed~. It's rather easy to forget that the island is sentient--

Except, of course, when she decides to make herself known in various odd ways. I still don't quite understand the reasoning behind the appearance of that boat, for instance.

[gunninginasuit]

It does get creative! I've been here for months, and I've yet to see it rain... well, rain.

...Boat? I'm... ah... I'm afraid I missed that.

[polite_sinner]

My, that is rather odd! I've only been here long enough to see the lobster and soda rain. One would imagine that a tropical island such as this would see its fair share of normal rain.

Oh, is that so? My, I thought it was rather difficult to miss, really. It seems that it's still around, though, so perhaps you'll see it soon enough?

[gunninginasuit]

It did hail once! And we had a blizzard~!

Perhaps! I'm assuming it's not actually here to take anyone home, though.

[polite_sinner]

Regular hail and regular snow? Ah ha ha, given the nature of the island, that's actually rather unexpected.

Yes, I imagine that's a safe assumption, unfortunately. I don't imagine the Island intends on letting too many people leave at once, as convenient as that would be.

[gunninginasuit]

It was a full-scale blizzard for a few days. I'm actually surprised everyone survived.

Even if the ship weren't an island trick, it couldn't get past the barrier anyway~ At least, I doubt it.

[polite_sinner]

Ah, well, I don't think Island-san actually intends for anyone to actually die here. She seems to mean well, despite how. . . bizarrely she acts, the few times I've spoken with her.

I think the ship itself is real enough -- I've overheard a few people talking who have actually explored the ship. However, I don't hold many high hopes for their attempts at using it to break through the barrier, ah ha ha.

[gunninginasuit]

mm, I've only ever spoken with the island once, when I first arrived. I believe she called me an accountant or some other such nonsense.

I think I'll keep my distance, just in case~ ♥
