Something to take the blues away [video]

[Ellie clicks on the console. While those who don't know her might think she looks like a normal 14 year old, those that do know her can tell she's trying to distract herself.

She rubs her nose as she ponders how to start this, before thinking that maybe she should even just cut the feed off. But, hell, she made it this far.

Her arm is bandaged up in a rough sling-- something she did herself.]

Sooo... I guess we can talk about what the fuck just happened, or we can talk about something better. Like, okay, I've had some of the kedan read to me?

Guys, guys. Their stories are fucking hilarious. I'm not even sure how someone gets engaged 12 times on accident, but there's a story for that.

And there's a story about the guy who had a huge case of mistaken identity, and owed a stupid amount of debt because someone pretended to be him when gambling.

... And a huge amount of these end up being romance stories.

Don't even fucking ask me.

[she shrugs and offers a little grin]

I asked if there was any stuff about someone pissing off a monster, or going to outer space, but nope. Nothing. Nada.

How fucking weird is that?

A library? What library?

[mightythinice]

Yeah! The one at the palace… castle, whatever?

[strategisch]

They let you in there?

[Armin is equally jealous and excited.]

[mightythinice]

Yyyyyyep. I just have to kill some lizards and name them, and I get 3 hours for every lizard I kill. Worked it out with the Emperor himself. [she grins widely]

[strategisch]

Kill lizards? [That sounds like pointless busywork, but Armin's talked to the Emperor before. He wouldn't indulge a child for no reason.] Fair enough; I won't question it. Are there any books in there you can read?

[mightythinice]

They're some sorta delicacy for the kedan. I usually sell 'em to the butchers for cash.

[and then a shrug] And no, I get the escort to read them to me... I've been picking up a few words here and there, though.

[strategisch]

Oh, I see... What a deal. I would have a time asking for such a thing, the Emperor is such a hard man.
