[when it clicks on, have a face full of dirty red headed kid. She looks absolutely delighted by the fact that the console works, and her words seal the deal]

Holy shit, this thing really works?! This is so fucking cool! So, I turned this on and everyone else can hear me, right? This thing’s like a mass phone call or… Oh, wait. Is this what it was like being on TV?

[she pulls out a book from her backpack]

Well, I’m reading a book about anti- gravity… It’s impossible to put down. Pfff. Okay, okay, I won’t read my good ol’ pun book to everyone, but if you ever need a joke, let me know.

Also, I’m looking for someone. His name’s Joel, he’s kind of older, brown hair, talks with a pretty thick Texas accent.

And if anyone knows where I can find a bunch of books in English, that’d be awesome. Last place I went to, they were all in this fucking weird script! No good if you wanna actually read something, you know?

A Kedan tried to sell me what looked like a set of instructions on how to assemble a desk the other day... I don't think that counts. If you want books, your best bet would be to check the Water Sector. And if you can't find them, the locals usually have good stories to tell anyways.

"Joel" will probably be harder to find. I haven't heard of him. He might not be here.

[mightythinice]

Well... stories are one thing, books are another. But I'll ask around.

Man, everyone has different suggestions for where to go, though... Fire, Water... I just know, the Wood Sector ain't it.

And yeah... I kind of figured Joel might not be here.

[strategisch]

I suppose Fire would work as well, but everything there is so expensive. You'll have to save up for awhile.

--Once you settle in, of course. Sorry. You must be new, right? I'm Armin Arlert. Is it very vital that you find Joel?

[mightythinice]

Ellie. And it is... but it isn't. As long as he's not here, there's a pretty good chance he's waiting on me back home.

And save up? What kind of stuff do they have, seriously?

i have too many icons of him with books

[strategisch]

Hi, Ellie. I've heard that when you return home, it will be as if you never left, if that helps any.

I can't say, I've never ventured far into the Fire sector. But from what I hear they have all sorts of exotic and strange things, so maybe English books would be among them?

ellie <3 books +_+

[mightythinice]

That's what I'm hearing... I'm gonna try all the sectors at least once. Can't hurt, right? I've been this far, not gonna let one let down stop me from getting something new to read!

[strategisch]

That's very enthusiastic of you. If you ever find any, you'll have to tell me... And if you need a Kirin to get around, I work at a stable.

[mightythinice]

What's a Kirin? Is it like a horse?

[strategisch]

Close enough. They look a little different though.

[mightythinice]

Is that the thing that was pulling the wagon out of here?

[strategisch]

Yes, exactly. They're just as gentle as a horse, despite the horns.

[mightythinice]

Really, huh... I guess there aren't any actual horses here?

[strategisch]

No, unfortunately. There aren't very many animals here at all. I think it's due to a lack of food.
