I was afraid to ask this since it is something of a peculiar question, but then I decided the most peculiar ones are usually the best so I might as well.

Do you think we are allowed to write our own books? I couldn't help but notice that many of the ones at school are rather incorrect.

[Oh god get him away from reading to 6-year-olds. Apparently he'd done a good enough job on his first day that he's now stuck with doing so every time the occasion arises, which one can guess he doesn't much like. So, he's hiding in the aisles when he spots Luna; of course, looking busy will help his alibi!]

Can I help you?

[Luna blinks slowly, and looks up, just noticing the man]

Would you like to?

[Dist glances over his shoulder, looking mildly concerned, then turns back to the girl.]

Yes. Yes I would.

I certainly don't see why we couldn't write our own...

Are the books here really so wrong? This is not my... homeworld, so I am not one to judge, I'm afraid.

Re: [phone]

[off_beet]

Oh yes, they are riddled with errors. And while it's not so bad to be wrong with facts as it makes for more interesting reading, when all of them are so grossly incorrect it begins to become quite troubling.

[sisterofheresy]

Oh, yes, that would be rather troublesome...

What about the school's books are incorrect, if you don't mind my asking? You have me curious.

[off_beet]

They say the sky is blue, for starters.

[nomammano]

What kind of book would you write?

[off_beet]

Any sort, really. I do think I would like to write about pigeons, however.

[nomammano]

Pigeons?

I noticed a painful lack of Jeweled Humdingers here, so they are the closest thing we have.

Re: [phone]

Are some subjects more stoppable than others?

[off_beet]

I assume it is the most interesting content that they would object to. That is usually the case, after all.

I believe there is a group dedicated to reproducing books from their own world. You might want to look into finding them.

Re: [phone] [usual drone filter]

[off_beet]

I suppose if I were to find them I had best start looking, thank you very much for the suggestion!

[a pause]

Do you enjoy writing?

[eldest_hatter]

You are quite welcome.

I prefer reading.
