text | Header: URGENT QUESTION

[callsignhornet]

I have an important question for the sake of organizing information about the group.

Feel free to message me directly if you don't feel comfortable sharing publicly.

In the world you are from, what year is it?

Edit: record of death for me should be 2186. Or 2187, though it would be very early in the year.

Getting granular like that must be an effect of books being easy to mass produce.

[Need underlines 'I think I'm jealous' from upthread. Not so much out of real feeling, she's definitely confused on a few points, but she's always generally in favor of art proliferating.]

Maybe that makes up for losing some of the spontaneity of storytelling in person. And I suppose it preserves a version and makes it clear who told it.

[blindluck]

Having one definitive source makes for a lot of interesting scholarly material on famous enough books, as well! [Nagito is kind of missing his Christie collection and its accompanying critique now...] If I can find a copy of anything by her, I'll show you.

[hasapoint]

And on the people who wrote them I assume.

You've certainly persuaded me to be curious, anyway.

[blindluck]

Of course. I had a book filled with Christie's writing notes and the analysis of them! It's really too bad it's so difficult to find multiple copies of the same book, or we could set up some sort of book club.

[This actually might be the most normal conversation Nagito has ever had here.]

[hasapoint]

There's always reading it out loud for people. Storytelling with a prosthetic memory.

[...she is quite comfortable with literacy now but hasn't always been, so she thinks of the subject with a slight remove like that.]

[blindluck]

I don't think I'd be able to do it justice. But maybe if we passed it around, someone else could read it properly to everyone.

[Listening to it could be fun like that.]

[hasapoint]

You know the material best. Don't you think you'd get frustrated if someone read a word wrong or skipped a line?

[blindluck]

[Need is 100% correct.]

Perhaps I could read occasionally.
