video | what this library needs is a book club

[weifinder]

( This is a video message brought to you by Wei Wuxian, who just learned about video in the last week or so, and definitely knows nothing about making a video well. So congratulations, he's holding his recording tablet in one hand, in selfie mode, and grinning at the camera. He tips his head toward it, since bowing... won't work with him holding his tablet, and begins. )

This whole moving images film-creating concept is fantastic! Wei Ying, courtesy name Wei Wuxian, greeting all the others swept into this library and out of their proper homes with a simple suggestion for the sake of entertainment: a reading group. I even have a starting novel for the adult audience!

( He looks offscreen to pick up a novel and showcase its simple bound red front with lovely golden writing visible: Resentment of Chunshan. This is porn. It is very raunchy, very fantasy-not-reality gay porn written by a woman from ancient fantasy China. It is also, hopefully, an amusing read? )

This one promises to be absolutely scandalous! Then for the people who are more inclined toward having a sense of any other taste, well, I have recommendations. I've leafed through many, many books this last week and then some, if it's been a week, or any, or who knows? Time here is rather... stagnant. Either way, speak up here, or find me in person, I'm hanging around the third level with all the lounging space.

( ... then the tablet shakes as he tucks the book under an arm and taps at the screen to end the video. )

nice

Ha, bold of you to assume that blush worthy words would deter me from being intrigued.

[And...let's be real, she'd probably laugh her ass off too once the realization of real person fiction exists. Certain memoirs don't count because they're not fiction but real accounts.]

[weifinder]

( there's something inherently ridiculous in real person fiction (to him), he'd appreciate a fellow laugher. )

Ah, but would I dare to offend a young miss's sensibilities?

( a cheeky touch to his grin, and then a slight bow of his head and expansive gesture with his hand. )

I won't say no to more people enjoying the ridiculous and blush worthy, just don't expect me to lack sufficient shame to uh. Not want to talk about sections of the novel in depth at all.

[inlikethebrume]

Depending on the miss; clearly the one here has heard much worse than from the mouths of pirates.

[Also her hometown is pretty much like a version of French Catholic setting so there's some freaky things there naturally.]

Besides, a story is still a story and there will always be someone intrigued.

[In other words, she's fine with it. If there are things he wants to talk on, it cool. If not, same thing applies.]

[weifinder]

Isn't that the exact truth! I like how your mind thinks. If you wanted to pick up the novel, I'm happy to trade it off--just as I said, consider yourself warned that it's not deep or high literature!

( And he is not in any way apologising for that either. )

[inlikethebrume]

Not everything has to be. Knowledge is wonderful but there's always appreciation for any written word.

[Books are books and she's good with it.]

You said you are on the third level, yes? I shall be there anon.

[weifinder]

I am! I'll see you upon your arrival.

( He grins, then turns off his feed, instead settling back on his chosen couch for the moment, the novel in question set on the low table before him. Knowledge really is wonderful, she said that rightly. The problem here is he doesn't have enough, and no one person seems to.

She'll find him waiting, arms crossed behind his head, staring out toward one of the mountain-facing windows. )

Have you noticed the quality of light can change from window to window?
