[Text] A call to poems! A Literature Club meeting!!

[bestfriendroute]

[The mognet post is titled 'Literature Club!']

Hi everyone, it's me, Sayori! I've been wanting to set up something fun for everyone, and I thought, what better way than to have a Literature Club meeting! I dunno if Monika had done one here before, but she was the president of the Club back home -- I was the vice president.

All you have to do is bring one piece of literature - a book, a comic, anything! And if you don't have anything to bring, that's okay too! You can read off of someone else's. And be sure to bring a poem to share with everyone, too! That's half the fun!

It'll be ten days from now! Over where I live -- B-10! If you have any questions, I'm always available!

See you all there, I hope!

[Thankfully, text makes it easier for her to not have to show her emotions. She and others are probably aware that Monika's gone, after all.]

Literature? Like... books? We have to bring books?

[bestfriendroute]

A book, yes! If you can't find a book you like, I'm sure someone else will be happy to share theirs. But I'd like to see as many books as there are attendees!

Sayori,

I am interested in participating in this event. I have an interested in music and poetry, but I have not been able to read works of fiction for the past few thousand years. Would a short story suffice?

[It's not going to be a selection from his self-insert story. Nope. He had to do some work of his own.]

I used to live in that house. Did you have any issues with the state of the furniture as we left them?

Regards,

Minimus Ambus

A short story would work perfectly fine! And we would be happy to have you there~

And ah, no, no problems at all! Everything is fine here.

[Is she talking about the state of the furniture or something else?]

Sayori,

That is reassuring. We Cybertronians are dense compared to organics, and I was concerned that the padding of the fabric was compromised after our usage.

What location and date do you propose?

Minimus Ambus

[bestfriendroute]

Organics? Are Cybertronians non-organic? Like robots?

Ah, at my place here at B-10, on the 21st!

[legalcy]

Sayori,

The term is "mechanical life form." An organic referring to use as robots can be offensive depending on the context, but I suggest you avoid the term when describing sentient beings.

Thank you. I will arrive at the appointed hour.

Minimus Ambus.

[bestfriendroute]

Aaaaah I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to offend you! I'll take care to say mechanical life form as best I can.

[legalcy]

[Why does he type out her yelling? That's not something you write in communications...]

Sayori,

Noted. I appreciate your effort.

Minimus Ambus

[righthandstand]

sayori is that really you

[bestfriendroute]

Erm, I guess?? My name is Sayori, and I was told that I was here before... but I don't have any recollection of that.

[righthandstand]

so you lost your memories huh

you dont remember anything?

shit[Okuyasu deletes that. No swearing at a nice girl.] then how old are you now?

[bestfriendroute]

No, nothing. Do people usually remember things when they leave and come back?

H-Hey, it's rude to ask a lady her age! ... I'm 18, though! [Hard to tell if she was upset about that or just messing with Okuyasu!]

Were you friends with the me that was here before??

[righthandstand]

yeah i think? sometimes people end up in space and then wake up thinking zero days passed

wait this doesn't work if i didnt know your age before

nvrmnd

we werent friends but i talked with you before so i cant tell if your lying or not
sorry

A "literature club"? A gathering for reading, I assume. I will attend.

[bestfriendroute]

Yes! Reading and sharing literature with one another. And even writing poems! It helps to be able to express your thoughts on paper.

We'd be happy to have you there~!

[my_devotion]

I see. I do not think I will write poetry, but I believe I have found a book or two that will be acceptable to share.

[aerospacecommander]

And why would anyone want to do that?

[bestfriendroute]

[... Oh, it's this guy again.]

Because it's fun! Reading is one of the best things to do with your spare time, and it's always nice to find new things to read. And then there's writing poems - because everyone expresses themselves differently on paper. You can learn more about each other this way!

[aerospacecommander]

[Oh yes he's always around.]

Only nerds write poetry.

[He says this as he was a scientist and so has no room to talk about someone being a nerd.]

[bladeofbirthright]

A literature club! What a wonderful idea! I've buried myself in many books about Vaikuntha's history, religions, geography, etc. and I would love to hear what others have discovered!

However, I'm not an expert poet. I'll make the effort, but I doubt it'll be remarkable.

[bestfriendroute]

Oh, that sounds wonderful! Back at home, we usually shared our favorite fictional stories at the meetings, but here, learning about this place is just as important! This will be so much fun!!

We all have to start somewhere, ehehe. I was pretty bad at first, too. In fact, I've still got a lot of learning to do. But that's why it's more fun for everyone to write and share poems with one another! We can all learn from each other!

[manlycharms]

My dear, you know I'll attend! Seems like a fine opportunity to mingle with other intellectual sorts and gain a finer appreciation for both the culture of Vaikuntha and the countless other realms across the cosmos.

That, and my Moogle, he's... well. Shut-in would be putting it lightly.

I imagine this would be a welcome opportunity for him to socialize.
