Hello!

This is probably a pretty common question, so please bear with me. I can more or less understand why full-time, regular jobs aren't the norm here, and I guess it's not too surprising that there's no school either, but there's something I kinda don't get at all. The longer I'm stuck here, the more I can't help wondering about it.

What exactly is everybody doing all day? You're not all just dedicating your lives to skinship 24/7, right? Is there something else we're supposed to be working on, and I missed hearing about it?

[O-Oh. Sparkles... There is a brief moment of intense nostalgia here for all of Ai's elaborate sparkles and emoticons.]

I can try. What kind of books do you like to read?

[daikonrose]

If you know any good princess stories, that's a must! But I also like books with magic, lovely scenery, noble warriors, charming girls and cherished friendships--that kind of thing!

But what about you, Vianca-chan?

[pinkmin]

I have not found any robot princess stories just yet, but I will let you know when I do.

A lot of that are also the kinds that I like. There are many different ways to explore fantasies.

[daikonrose]

Ohh, do you have a favorite kind of fantasy, then? I know you're a fellow princess fan~ but is there a bigger favorite?

[pinkmin]

I like the ones with big worlds that one book isn't enough for, because there are too many stories to tell. [Big for the sake of padding wasn't very fun.] It is nice when the world is almost it's own character.

Friendships and mythical creatures are also very good.

[daikonrose]

[ Unseen and unheard is Kyoko's sigh of relief; Vianca didn't say anything about love stories or the classic fairytale marriage happy endings. A sensible child with a bright future. ]

Unless you count manga, I haven't had time to read a long book since the last time I got assigned one for my literature class.... Doing it just for fun would feel almost too indulgent!

Oh oh oh! What are your favorite mythical creatures?!!! After ♥fairies♥ mine would be mermaids!

[pinkmin]

Now is possibly a good time then. I did happen to get one of the series I enjoy, if you would like to try it some time. The robots do have a lot also.

Fairies are very good. I am also found of griffins.

[daikonrose]

You would let me borrow one of your own books?

Ohh, griffins, huh? Those are pretty strong and cool.

[pinkmin]

Of course. Though, I would ask that you keep them in the shop.

[Maybe when she had more books she could properly implement a borrowing system, but she wanted to be sure there were books to read while people were there now!]

Yes. I used to go on treasure hunts, and wondered if I would ever meet one.

[daikonrose]

Which shop do you mean?

Treasure hunts, huh! [ Adorable. ] And what kind of treasure did you find?

[pinkmin]

Petals & Pages. I opened it recently in the shopping district.

Sometimes we found gold and gems. Ruins sometimes. I went with the treasure hunting club at school.

[daikonrose]

[ Gold, gems, ruins, and entrepreneurship. ]

Vianca-chan, I'm not sure how to put this, but you're kind of a mysterious person.

[ Even for a fairy! ]

[pinkmin]

[Oh. H...mm.]

Is that so. I can't say I know how you mean.

[daikonrose]

[ Oh no that text sounds offended. ]

In a good way! I should say, I'm in awe of you!

[pinkmin]

[It was more worry than anything. Now it was just confusion.]

In... awe?

[daikonrose]

In awe!! Great awe!!! You do things I never would have dreamed of when I was your age, along with things I haven't thought to dream of yet! There's no way I wouldn't be blown away!

[pinkmin]

Oh. I see. I thought they were very normal things.

[daikonrose]

I see... your standards are just that much higher than mine.

[ Such a sophisticated child! ]
