lucetilogs | "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity..."

Who:The members of the Book Club.
What: The first book club meeting after heading out to recruit more members.
When: The last Sunday of November, the 27th.
Where: The library!
Summary: All the members of the book club gather together to discuss this months book. Refreshments are provided for the course of the meeting and mingling is encouraged. Whether you've officially signed up or just curious, come along and see if the Book Club is for you!
Rating: B for Books, of course.
[Welcome to the Book Club! This months book is a collection of short stories written by Edgar Allen Poe, containing most of his work from 1824 to 1849. Upon entering one of the collections can be picked up from the front desk.

Refreshments are provided, layed out on a table further into the library. Nearby this table are many comfy chairs set out in a circle for book club members to sit down and take turns talking about what they enjoyed most about the book, any criticisms they might have on the style of writing, anything they like. Discussion is highly encouraged.

After the meeting, members are free to leave or stick around and mingle a little with the other members. Your horoscope for today might make proper discussion difficult, or you might find it difficult even arriving! But don't worry, it's quite understandable if you can't come today due to those bats organising against you, or you're still in the bath getting ready for that romantic encounter.]

[Yeah I know...]

Oh, it was just for my dad. He wants me to take over the business, so I have to read that stuff. But I don't really mind, I guess.

[Gosh Belladorable. Gosh.]

Ah, you mean Milda-kun's the heir to some sort of organisation? It's pretty cool that you've already started preparing for it!

[Not Belladorable. Just Bella.]

My father expects it... He's the president of a rather large company that quite a few nobles have invested their stock in. Since I'm his only son, I'm supposed to take it over. I really want to be a doctor and help people out like that, but... I'll respect my father's wishes.

[Nope. Belladorable.]

Ah, so Milda-kun has circumstances like that... I might've been a little quick to praise that situation.

Still, can't you work at being someone that helps people here?

[Nope.]

Here? I... guess I could... I guess I could work at the Clinic or something...

[Sir Clucksayup.]

Ah, that'd be great! I'm sure someone like Milda-kun would be able to lend a hand!

[That hen's cooked.]

... I think that I'd just get in the way... A-And anyway, not a whole lot of people go there, right..? I'd just end up doing nothing.

[This reminds me of a puzzle!

By changing just one letter from 'cooked', we get a terrible pun! Can you think of which word it is?]

Ehh, that's not the case at all! For starters, I've accompanied two people who regularly visit!

[Fuck you.]

R-Really? That's pretty surprising... Are they sick or something?

[That's right, the answer was 'cocked'!]

Actually, I think the problem is more that they're good at getting injured... [Oh hi, Aoba's just gonna rub the back of his head now! With the bandaged hand.]

[FUCK YOU.]

Looks like you are too. [Can he just. Take that hand, Aoba? Even if he has to shift some books to do so. He wants to look at it.] How'd you get this, by the way?

[HOLY SHIT RUDE.

Does this mean...

they're holding hands ?] Ah, I had an accident shortly before I arrived here! I can still use my hand without trouble, but the fact it still hasn't healed is annoying...

[NOT RUDE.

Also sort of.] That is pretty annoying... and there's nothing the Clinic can do?

[SO RUDE.

kyaaaaaaaaa.] Well, beyond changing the bandages, everything else is just a matter of waiting.

[NOT AT ALL.]

How strange... I'd like to see it sometime. Not now, but--[Letting go of Aoba's hand and sighing.] Sometime.

Maybe... [SO VERY RUDE.

K-kyaaa Milda-kun wants to see it.] A-anyway, the point I was trying to express is... that I'm sure Milda-kun could do some good at the Clinic.

Maybe I'll go down sometime when I'm free and, um... offer my services or something...

I think that'd be a really good idea, for later on! Right now, we'll need to focus on Sir Clucksalot, right?

Right. Spada and Iria didn't seem very happy with keeping her around, but it'll probably only be for the winter.

Ah... maybe, if you work at it, they'll let you keep her in the garden?

I think they'd rather eat her.

N-no way! They wouldn't do something like that to you, right?

They're terrible people, Aoba, but I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Ah... I feel like this is a type of friendship I can only imagine...

Well, if you ever become really good friends with them, maybe you'll have the chance to experience it too.
