Library, Sunday

[unusual_sith]

Lana had gone for a walk on her way here, only to get sidetracked by a large...round...something in the park, singing.

It hadn't had a bad voice, at least.

She was curious about the songs, though, and since the books couldn't sing to her, she was on the internet behind the desk, looking up what she could remember of the lyrics and finding out about them. They mostly seemed to be either religious texts or very odd pseudo-romantic songs. Honestly, she preferred the religious ones; she might not worship like whoever had written them did, but they seemed sincere and lovely. The others she was really wondering about.

Anyway, there were snippets of Christmas carols going around the library as Lana surfed around them. The library was open!

"Is there a local equivalent of that? Because people from here always seem to think that kind of thing is brand new."

Granted, she hadn't seen any of it personally before coming here but that was not the point.

"I hadn't thought so, but that's what it says." Lana shrugged. "It's hard to tell how much is meant to be literal and how much is metaphorical."

"Given how abnormal this town is compared to the rest of the planet I'd think it's more metaphorical, but who even knows," Sabine shrugged.

"Not me," Lana said. "I don't know whether the text or the songs make less sense."

"The songs have more flying reindeer," Sabine pointed out. "One lighted nose is not enough to fly through dense weather, among other things."

"Bioluminescents aren't even that strong!" Lana agreed. "But the text does have a male child being born to a female human mother with no sex involved, which is also ridiculous."

"...They do know that's not how that works, right?"

Other species, sure. This one, no.

George Lucas didn't.

"I would assume so," Lana said. "But Earth is weird, so who knows?"
