[it's been over a month since qilby last showed his face in a personal post on the network, and since then the pile of books on his workspace have grown to obscene levels. either he's been spending all his food money on these things -- he certainly isn't looking any less gaunt than usual -- or someone's been seriously ignoring their due dates at the library…
due dates don't apply to kings, anyway. and that's the truth!
he smiles a tired smile.] Believe it or not, I think I'm beginning to exhaust Shibusen's library of its resources. A word to the wise -- the selection is smaller than it first appears, when the majority of books are restricted to the public.
[is that a subtle jab at the way things are run? probably not. he's still generally-cheery looking, after all.] I wonder what the policy on traveling outside the city is, when one's not accompanying their partner on a mission. It's dangerous out there, of course, but I'm curious about the rest of this world outside the city's walls. It's not every day that I-- [well, that'd be a lie] ... That most people get to see a new planet, and I'm sure I'm not the only un-partnered individual who's got an itch to explore. The libraries of the world await...
... Perhaps, when things calm down a bit. [you know, when you mighty warriors can afford to sit around and lounge by the pool all day.] In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions as to other ways of acquiring study material? A man needs to keep himself occupied.
[you have no idea.]

More importantly, have you read anything interesting in your arsenal there?

But in all seriousness, it depends on where you're coming from. Me, I've found books on subjects I took an interest in at home that expound wildly upon what I knew -- things like astronomy, physics, biology, botany... Even if the practical application of this knowledge isn't quite as advanced here as it had been on my world, it's still fascinating to see a new perspective on a topic I thought I'd known everything about.
The restricted material, I assume, tends towards information about magic in this world. Some people may be content with leaving it restricted but I, on the other hand, find it terribly intriguing. [and that was your first taste of how much qilby can talk when you get him going. a pause and then, politely:] What is it you take an interest in?
