3rd Story [Video]

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone predictably spends a lot of time in the library. Of course, he does other things too, like playing with people and digging up gardens, but the library is where he feels the most comfortable. Even more so since people don't mind him touching the books

As far as books go, I like mysteries and drama, but I like happy stories. Ones where things are all right in the end.

[voice]

[readingwishbone]

What do you think of fairy tales?

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

I like them. I think they're a lot of fun.

By the way, be careful with those books.

[voice]

[readingwishbone]

I like both the newer versions of the Fairy tales, and the ones from Grimm's Fairy Tales. The ones the Brothers Grimm had collected were meant to teach a darker lessons than the ones that have been revised for children.

Eh, books?

[There are books everywhere, this is a library after all.]

All sorts of stories can be interesting providing they have a good plot and a good ending! Fantasy novels, science fiction, crime stories... They can all have good stories to them.

[Forgive her for doing a double take over the video, but it seems she just realised she was talking to a dog. Nothing too weird about that for her... But hey, talking dog. Also, swaying tower of books.]

Ah- Uhm, be careful! I-It seems you've got too many books there!

[Video]

[readingwishbone]

That is true. However, what kind of story inspires you?

[Books, what books? He glances at the towers on both sides of him. They look fine to him.]

Oh don't worry, I'm sure they'll stay up there.

I suppose if I had to choose it would be adventure stories. Quests, puzzle solving, magic, all of those aspects are just so refreshing and thought provoking, right? O-Oh, romance and fantasy stories are inspiring in other ways too! Sort of like a pick-me-up on a rainy day, or any day.

[As tempting as it is to go on justifying how all sorts of stories are inspiring, those books dog. Those books.]

A-Are you sure? Uhm... Call it from experience, but having piles of books that big will only end badly!

You should definitely read Journey to the Center of the Earth or Treasure Island. Both books should be around here somewhere.

[He gets up to inspect a book next to the journal, and bumps the right tower of books in the process. It sways treacherously, but remains upright. Wishbone, again, barely notices.]

I'm totally sure!

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

...I quite like quest stories, actually. Adventures, believe it or not.

Do you have "The Hobbit" in there anywhere?

[Voice]

[readingwishbone]

Oh "The Hobbit" is a wonderful book! I actually read it not long before I came here, hmm... it should be around here somewhere...

[He glances to his left at the tower of books beside him.]

Ah here it is! I knew I had it out not long ago.

[He places a paw on the book and the tower wobbles.]

Did you know that the J.R.R Tolkien began writing this novel in the year 1930? He finished writing it in 1932 and it was first published in 1937. This was a fun book, while I was reading it, I pretended that I was Bilbo Baggins. The best part of reading a book is using your imagination after all.

[consultmybooks]

You, um, might want to keep an eye on the stack, Wishbone. I think it's wobbling a bit.

[Not that he disagrees with any of Wishbone's points. But.]

Re: [Voice]

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone glances up at them. Hmm, they were a little wobbly. However, he didn't see any immediate danger.]

I'll move in a bit! Once I'm done reading this book. It's too big for me to move it right now, so I'l have to make do.

[Action if it's ok?]

[Ami's another one who spends inordinate hours in the library. When she spots Wishbone, she seeks him out and finds him without too much difficulty.

Then she realizes the books are wavering. Her eyes widen and she calls out.]

Be careful! The books could fall!

[Action]

[readingwishbone]

[Wishbone glances up from the book he is reading and looks around for the source of the voice. He quickly finds it and gives her a cheerful bark.]

Hi!

[Action]

[no_use_running]

[right, right. Hi later; save the books now. Ami runs to the stack and grabs a few off the top to lighten the load.]

[Action]

[readingwishbone]

[Oh, you don't want to say hi? Alright, he'll just sit here and read his book then. Oh no, his feelings aren't hurt, his ears just feel a little droopy, that's all.]

[voice]

[subsultive]

[Romance, but he doesn't want to say that. Um...]

Fairy tales and coming-of-age stories. Myths as well.

[voice]

[readingwishbone]

Ohh, what are your favorite coming-of-age stories? What kind of myths exist in your world?

[voice]

[subsultive]

Great Promises by Charlie Dickings is pretty good, as is To Kill A Mimicking Hawk by Harpy Fee... As for myths, from what I've read at the library here a great many are classified if they have gods and goddess and great battles, so... I guess the history of Devaloka and The Fall could be counted amongst them. It certainly feels that way.

[My, if he hadn't lived it himself in his past life, he would've said it was all stories.]

Re: [voice]

[readingwishbone]

Ahh, myths are wonderful as most of them teach a lesson. Which is true for most good stories. What is Devaloka?

[He hasn't heard of that book before :|a It sounds interesting.]
