18th Day [video]

[Hello video feed! Xion's looking less intimidated than she was in her first post.]

I've been hearing from my friends that I used to live in this city, even though I don't remember it, and I had a lot of friends here too. I'm sorry I don't remember any of you.

[A pause as she tucks her hair behind her ear.]

But I want to! I mean, um, if you still want

I've been told I was here before too, but I wasn't given a lot of details. I try not to think about it.

[Don't mind him, he's just inspecting a generator considering it's been running from the beginning of the black out until yesterday. He steps away, bringing a cloth from his overalls to wipe his hands on it before he turns his attention back to his NV.]

My name's Usopp. Nice to meet you.

[Wow. That is a very big... generator.]

Nice to meet you too.

It's strange not remembering things that other people do, but I think it's going to be OK.

[After a tiring but dull day on construction and then cleanup, Raven feels a little more social than average. And blah blah new city insecurities friends blah blah, too. She waves awkwardly at the camera, then thinks better of it.]

Um, hi. My name's Raven. Do you like to read? That's my big thing, I guess.

[Oh, a wave? OK. Xion waves back.]

I never really had much of a chance to try it before, maybe now I will. What sort of books are good to try?

[Raven shrugs.]

Well, I read all kinds of stuff. Some of what you might call classic stuff. A lot of those books are the same in my world and this world, but some of the other books I read aren't in the Siren's Port libraries. You know, fantasy stuff, for example. [Or more embarrassing stuff, coughromancenovelscough... with lots of dragons and horses.] Though it seems like a lot of people here live out fantasy novels in their lives at home.

I'm reading Crime and Punishment right now. Oh, also rereading Pride and Prejudice. It's "noun and noun" week, I guess.

[What an unaccustomedly long monologue.]

[Listens to all these recommendations carefully, and makes a note to go and check out the library. She likes the thought of adventure books.]

What's best book that you've read?
