[Aqua was sitting by a window, with her knees draw up and the communicator balanced on top. She leaned back against the wall, posture relaxed.]

I've been wondering, does anyone come from a world with magic? If so, would you mind telling me a little about it?

[She reaches out a hand to steady the communicator when it slides a little to the left before righting it again.]

I specialized in magic back home, so I'm curious about what kinds of magic exists in other worlds.

[ private to Clover ]

I found a copy of the Grimm's Fairy Tales in the library. [She smiled.] I really enjoyed it; thank you for recommending it to me.

Well, BREW did pulls us here out of nowhere, and I've found that the people at Shibusen are good people.

Seems so.

[Good people, but they're still being held against their will here. It's kind of odd to be thinking of them that way, but... funnily enough, Clover has no complaints.]

By the way, did you get a chance to read anything else?

[Eh, maybe she can get a book rec or two in return.]

There was another book that details the different Kishin Eggs Shibusen agents have encountered over the years that someone else recommended to me.

...That's right. You did mention an Encyclopedia, or something back then.

Hope it was useful.

It was interesting.

[But she has a feeling it's not really Clover's cup of tea.]

I also started on a novel a few days ago.

[...Not particularly, no, but she'll read it if she has to. If she finally partners officially and starts fighting, taking on missions-- then she'll probably consider giving it a once over.

...That novel, though. That catches her attention more.]

A novel. [ooh la la~] Do tell.

It's called The Coincidence Engine. It's about two men who try to stop this machine created by a mathematician that affects probability.

[Probability...?]

I take it the machine was causing problems?

[blue_wayfinder]

A lot of problems. Like frogs falling out of the sky.

The book's a bit silly, but it's good for passing the time.

[fourleafbrat]

... [She can't help but grin and think of her frog alien friends.

Well, they were sort of friends, at least.]

I'll keep it in mind. And I guess I can assume you like it so far.

[blue_wayfinder]

It's interesting. I don't usually read a lot of science-fiction, so it's a nice change from of pace.

[fourleafbrat]

Sounds like it.

Maybe I should make a to-read list, now that I think about it...

[blue_wayfinder]

That might be a good idea. It could be hard to remember if there are a lot of books you want to read, or if you can't get to them quickly.
