Guys. You know me. You've all gotten greeting cards from me with flies on them, seen me wear a shirt with a fly on it, seen my pendants, been to my dorm room and seen the glasses or the sculptures or the prints. And there's more that only my roommate can tell you.

I like flies.

But I draw the line at cutting up books. Even if you put them into fly shapes.

Worn out books are still books that can be read. Give them to the library! Or to charity! Or something! Don't wear them.

If any of you wear any books around, it had better be the dictionary.

Those actually look pretty trendy.

[scentofmakai]

I will find the seller and shoot them.

[glass_secret]

You do realize that libraries incinerate their old worn book. Think of this as giving them a new life.

[scentofmakai]

I'd rather think of it as 'really stupid'.

[glass_secret]

Would you rather have the books be turned to ash?

[scentofmakai]

...it's not like they wrote a Bible on an American flag.

[grimlight]

I concur.
Destruction of innocent books is one of the worst crimes I can conceive of.

[She's not even being sarcastic]

[scentofmakai]

Thank you. Somebody agrees.

[grimlight]

I'm sure most people would. Most people with sense, at least.

[scentofmakai]

So, not a lot of people on this campus.

[grimlight]

It's depressing how true that statement is.

[scentofmakai]

Is there even a reading club here?

[grimlight]

I thought I'd found one, but the reading list was rather...lacking.

[In horrorterrors]

[disarmingsmile]

I still don't understand your... obsession.

[scentofmakai]

Flies are awesome. What's not to love?

[disarmingsmile]

Yes, well, I originally assumed your fascination was purely zoological, but after all the... merchandise...

[scentofmakai]

It's not like I'm going to keep actual living flies around our room, people would swat them.

[disarmingsmile]

You could build a glass case for them.

[scentofmakai]

Do you think that'd get past the sanitary check for room inspection?

[starofchaos]

What.

What.

What are you doing?

Since when do you happen to reside in a dormitory?

[scentofmakai]

Since I moved in this year. Campus life is part of the whole college experience, right?

[starofchaos]

You went... to college.

May I ask why?

[scentofmakai]

I know you don't think much of me, Mr. Cyphre, but if you want a good career in an economy like this, you pretty much have to go to college. And I know I'm smart enough for it.

[starofchaos]

[Wait what career? Oh hell, what is this madness?]

If you're doing this to impress my son, I should hope that you're willing to put in the effort involved.

[scentofmakai]

I don't think just impressing him would be enough to pay the tuition... even with Makai's scholarship money.
