Game 04

[crawlininmytome]

[Today is a good day. A good day for reading books, shopping for clothes and being isolated from everyone in general. If you are passing by, you'll find Ange sitting on a bench with a stack of books and with some bags of clothes by her feet

[Of course I am! Here comes the little shota, happy to see her, but stops in front of her, noticing she's reading. He doesn't want to bother her but keeps leaning in to see the title of the book, curious little kitten that he is.]

[crawlininmytome]

[still looking very focused, but has noticed him-- She'll read another line out loud]

... "Hansel, what are you looking at there and staying behind for? Pay attention, and do not forget how to use your legs."

[glompedbystakes]

[... oh my god STORY TIME YAY. And now he plops right down on the ground, happy to listen!]

[crawlininmytome]

Have you heard of this story before, Sakutaro?

[bell_bound]

[A small white cat passes by, glancing at the bags of clothes with slight interest.]

[crawlininmytome]

"I am looking at my little white cat, which is sitting up on the roof, and wants to say good-bye to me."

[... Stops for a moment. Did she just see a tuff of white?]

[bell_bound]

[Pauses at the mention of a white cat.]

Does the white cat in this particular story speak?

[crawlininmytome]

How ironic. Last time I checked, no.

pinged by your icon keywords XD

*here's your favorite moon rabbit, holding a bag of groceries*

Ah, Ushiromiya-san. Good afternoon.

Just as planned

[crawlininmytome]

[still reading her book, but gives her a nod]

... Good afternoon, Inaba-san.

Oh noes

[stop_it_tewi]

What're you reading?

[crawlininmytome]

It's called Hansel and Gretel. It's an old and popular fairy tale.

[Saber happens to walk by, but is too polite to say anything to someone reading, she only stops long enough to try to read the title of the book.]

[crawlininmytome]

[gets the feeling that someone is watching, but continues reading]

"We will set to work on that," said Hansel, "and have a good meal. I will eat a bit of the roof, and you Gretel, can eat some of the window, it will taste sweet."

[arturia_pen]

[Hansel...and Gretel? She's never heard of it, but kind of feels like she's already disturbed the woman.]

[Eating the roof and windows? What kind of story is this?]

[Saber wants to ask, but doesn't want to disturb the young lady. Maybe she should just be on her way.]

[crawlininmytome]

[and looking up at her]

You look freaked out. The kids are eating a gingerbread house, not a real house.

[luminols]

[Just cruising by, s'up~ Ema notices the book title and absentmindedly asks:]

"Is that from the library?"

[crawlininmytome]

... Yeah, it is. I haven't read this one in a long time.

[luminols]

It's the sort of book where you remember the story. I was never really fond of it as a kid.

[crawlininmytome]

How come? It's no different from any other fairy tale.
