Library [10/01]

Having received a handwavey message from Bridge, Karal had come in to open up the library today.

Altra leapt up on the counter and promptly started to snooze while Karal looked over the books that needed to be shelved.

"I will try," Karal said after a moment, rubbing his temple with one hand. "I'm not all that familiar with either modern or ancient poetry from this world." He led the way to the books on poetry, gesturing at several shelves. "These are poets from the last few decades. In fact the only poet I know of is Shakespeare, though he's not at all modern. Someone told me I should read his sonnets."

"Shakespeare?" Romeo asked, wrinkling his nose. "Perhaps. I have read Marlowe and Donne from that era, but in my world Shakespeare is little esteemed. I shall look through the other books, though."

"My name, by the way, is Romeo, though doubtless you heard that in class."

"I did, but I still should have introduced myself. I'm Karal, from Karse, and it's good to meet you," he said. " I've not read any, but the boy who recommended him was quite taken with his sonnets."

"Then I should read them, shouldn't I?" Romeo decided, gathering up the book to check out.

He paused. "Our teacher Biff ... think you he knew Jesus, or is it but a metaphor?"

Karal rubbed his temple again. "I think, I think given this place, it's just as likely to be true," he said. "Hearing him speak of him, I can't not believe him."

"That is so," Romeo conceded. "I never would have believed it, but many things here are so."

[OOC: No problem!]

"It can take some time to get used to everything," he said sympathetically. "You'll find it happens more quickly than you think it will, though, and one day you'll wake up and barely notice the island has been overrun with talking books."
