How long has it been since anyone actually put any effort into maintaining this pathetic excuse for a library? Such superb priorities everyone has here, spending their days making nauseating posts on the network about their childish romances and desperate needs for vulgar entertainment while the things worth saving are left to rot

I didn't even know there was a library here. I need to come and look at it.

[exchevalier]

I certainly hope you can find the time.

[ex_regenera246]

With such a cheerful and helpful librarian, I don't see how I can't.

[virtualunknown]

...moving on, I see.

[exchevalier]

Naturally.

I should have done it sooner.

[virtualunknown]

Mmm. ...of course.

I'm happy for you, then.

[allthisviolence]

And what are the things worth saving?

[exchevalier]

The classics.

[allthisviolence]

Books?

Material possessions. And from long ago no less.

Outdated. Useless. Should be burned.

[exchevalier]

Hardly. The books, plays, and music of centuries ago, when it was still possible to have an original thought, have meaning and influence that persist even now, and all still hold more value than do the humans who created them.

It's not the writings but the humans who have outlived their usefulness.

I haven't even had a chance to look at it.

[exchevalier]

That seems to be pitifully common, although I'll admit that it isn't much to look at now.

[alchemyxfreak]

I didn't really think it was going to be in a place like this.

It was one of the first things I wanted to do, once I got access to the Upper Level... Funny how priorities change here.

Of course, I'd love to help!

[exchevalier]

Good.
