You know, I've been doing a great deal of reading lately. I always have, really, since I was a boy. I can't count how many times I've found myself needing to be dragged from the library by a mate, or reminded by my wife that I need to have actual meals other than simply tea. With so many people here from different worlds, I have to wonder: what is

[strangehstorian]

Fiction or non-fiction? I quite liked the Encyclopedia Britannica!

[onefullmoony]

You've read the whole of it? My goodness, and I thought I was an avid reader.

[strangehstorian]

Well, there are so many people here from that world! I'm used to knowing a lot more about my surroundings.

[onefullmoony]

Are you not from that world, then?

[strangehstorian]

Ah! No. I'm from a world called Azeroth by the locals. The population is smaller and much more diverse in terms of sentience. I'm a gnome!

[onefullmoony]

Interesting. Are their books on it in the library? I think I'd like to read up on this.

[strangehstorian]

I actually just recently translated a general history. It's no encyclopedia, but it's a nice overview. I think it may be checked out, though. [By Nygma, for like six months :|] I will look.

[onefullmoony]

Thank you, Chromie. I'd be very interested to read it.

[A FEW MINUTES LATER:]

Mr. Lupin?

[onefullmoony]

Remus, please.

[strangehstorian]

Sorry, Remus. I do have the book in! Would you like me to hold it for you, or just bring it to your cabin?

[onefullmoony]

It's probably a good idea to hold onto it until I return some of the thirty I've borrowed in the last week.

I'll return it before the 12th of October. Probably a great deal before then.

[strangehstorian]

I don't really worry about losing them, here. [Giggle.] That's fine.

[onefullmoony]

You don't? Why not?

[strangehstorian]

Well, it's not a very large ship.

[Also time travel powers help.]

[onefullmoony]

I suppose that's true. Thank you, you run the library, yes?
