[ Remus is heard very primly in the background, speaking in a lilting tone to follow the prose: ]

'The time has come,' the walrus said. 'To talk of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether fish ha--'

Hoothoot!

Beg pardon?

Hoot! Hoothoot.

Well of course fish don't have wings. ( Read more... )

I see you are also in the presence of a nocturnal avian, sir. They prove excellent companions when pondering difficult tasks late at night, do you agree?

very_literate February 10 2010, 01:32:23 UTC

Well I haven't been much for pondering lately, but he's a tough critic, I'll give him that.

solidor_heir February 10 2010, 10:33:25 UTC

Critic? I have not tried that. Perhaps tonight I shall read a local author's work and ask my avian companion for its opinion!

very_literate February 10 2010, 11:01:54 UTC

Well... I'm not so skilled with, you know, understanding his hooting. I've sort of been taking his tone and... conjecturing.

I think we may need to have a discussion on your taste in men Moons.

very_literate February 10 2010, 06:03:06 UTC

You're one to talk about poor romantic taste.

sothis_rising February 10 2010, 07:05:15 UTC

Are you saying I have poor taste? Come now Moons, you shouldn't get so down on yourself.

very_literate February 10 2010, 08:20:47 UTC

I'm talking about your... complete lack of discretion in your shameless flirting.

Did you get one of those things following you, too? I've got this weird thing that just sits around and sleeps all the time.

very_literate February 10 2010, 06:06:59 UTC

It's not so bad. I have someone with whom to enjoy some literature, at least.

lifewithlemon February 10 2010, 06:36:07 UTC

Heh. Yeah, I bet you like books.

very_literate February 10 2010, 08:15:12 UTC

...yes.

Huh, I thought it was "whether pigs have wings." Jigglypuff. But I dunno for sure. Alice in Wonderland isn't one of my favorites.

very_literate February 10 2010, 19:47:38 UTC

Well, originally, yes. But some things are rather... lost in translation when one must replicate it from memory. The Rivelatan books say fish.

Hoot.

I know pigs don't have wings either. You take these things far too seriously.

ofnobility February 11 2010, 16:18:23 UTC

Huh. I guess-- say, where is this library? It's got books from Earth?

very_literate February 11 2010, 22:48:59 UTC

[ neatly-sketched map to the library ]

Only a few of the classics... things that people would have read over and over again, or possibly brought here with them.
