WHERE: The Library

NOTES\WARNINGS: None


[It’s the Monday after Aurora’s mission announcement. You know what that means!

It’s a good day for Book Club!

Unlike the previous meet-up (meticulously planned out, well-provisioned, advertised), this one is more of a “bumped into people at the library and figured there’s a few hours to kill, why not talk books” get-together. (Not too loudly, it IS a library.) What can be said? It’s been a busy downtime-month.

But maybe you’re looking for the audiovisual section to find a series to binge before the mission. Or ducking out of the hot summer sun for a spell. That’s all good! Just watch out for those starry-eyed bibliophiles in their figurative candy store. They might sell you on the next big summer read.]

"You should poke more into the comedies," Jason says. "Twelfth Night is a good one and there's a surprising amount you can analyze in there when it comes to gender. Plus, not a lot of people realize Shakespeare sometimes had a raunchy sense of humor."

"I'll think about it... Maybe there are DVDs of performances, or tapes; libraries usually get a good deal on sets and collections from the broadcasters, and Shakespeare is in high demand."

She might be decent at English, but there's only so much help parsing written details from Elizabethan England that the translator can provide. If there's not an audiovisual-equipment section in the library, Mayuko will gladly... put it on her never-ending list of purchases.

She scans the other titles on the shelf, then points at Much Ado About Nothing. Case in point: "... I remember seeing that one when it came out! I liked the female lead."
