[You can see Victor's hands working on a puzzle, but his face isn't visible at this angle. He's putting a rather odd puzzle back together, given to him by Omega. It's very silver and shiny. Whenever Victor puts a piece in place, it shivers and changes position slightly with a slight sound of clockwork ( Read more... )

[He watches the puzzle with interest.] I still have several works. I believe I can graduate you to early 20th century writings. ...Though there are a few works that I feel you might enjoy from the latter 19th.

Writings of the future. [Victor sounds amused, but approving.] I shall like to read those. These many puzzles are indeed of great entertainment, but they do strain the mind somewhat.

Perhaps I may examine one. [Then, thoughtfully.] My captain loved the stories of Dixon Hill. I can provide you numerous early 20th century mysteries.

It's origins are grim and full of hypocrisy, but it has evolved into showing appreciation for that which is meaningful in their lives, so I suppose, that is a worthy holiday.

Even on the barge, one supposes that there are many things here that are meaningful. Certainly, it is better than many other places I know of in the world.

The world can be a grim, thoughtless place.

It can. The grim can eliminate the good and leave ruin where it once was.

Of course. What is it that you wish to ask?
