I haven't started reading it yet, but a new book came out that's supposed to be very fascinating and I've been thinking of picking it up. I've been meaning to find something new to read in my free time.

Have any of you from the future read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by a man named Lewis Carroll?

Fairy Dr. Lydia Carlton

P.S. If it becomes famous, I don't mind getting a few people some first edition copies if you can reimburse me.

Have you found yourself with so much free time? I can help with that, so that you don't find yourself with nothing to do.

[moonspell]

I like to read before I go to sleep, Edgar. It isn't as though I'm lacking in things to do since I am actually receiving letters for work now.

[ DON'T MAKE HER GO PLACES!!!!! ]

[refinedvillian]

[Lydia, do you realize how easily he could now offer to entertain her in bed, too?

He chuckles at the unspoken thought.] Would those be a better gift than flowers, then?

[moonspell]

[ No because her brain isn't constantly on doing Edgar!!! ]

I don't want to come in and feel like I've become a librarian either.

[ She knows what you do with those flowers!! ]

[refinedvillian]

[Just sometimes?]

That position would be easy enough to fill. You wouldn't need to take care of them yourself.

[of_many_treasures]

That's quite the treasure. It's an incredibly famous book during my time. If you could get me a copy or two I'll repay you of course.

[moonspell]

Of course! I'll be heading out to get a few later today then. You probably don't have money from my time or country, so if you just want to get some entertaining book from your time to read I'll count us as even.

[of_many_treasures]

All right, I'll find something worth trading in equivalency. There's a lot of good books out there.

[moonspell]

Thank you. Anything on fairies, especially.

[of_many_treasures]

All right, I'll see about getting you something good.

What exactly is a "fairy doctor"?

handwritten forever

[moonspell]

A fairy doctor is someone who is well-versed in the types and cultures of fairies, is able to see and communicate with them, and acts as a liaison between humans who cannot see fairies and the fairies themselves. I work for the Earl of Ibrazel, Edgar Ashenbert.

[embersandashes]

Interesting. And you are human yourself, I assume?

[moonspell]

[ Pr..obably. She has some questions about it but as far as anyone's concerned and what she's pretty sure she is and really wants to be, she is human. Most belief otherwise is just from people calling her a a changeling when she was younger because of her hair and eyes. ]

I'm human! I'm not to be confused with a witch either, though there are witches too.

[embersandashes]

I've never known a witch that wasn't also human, actually.

[archerartemis]

Yeah, actually it was my sister and my favorite book when we were growing up.

[moonspell]

It's lasted that long? It must be very good then.

[archerartemis]

It is. It's weird, though. Nothing in Wonderland makes sense, but that's the whole point of the story.

[moonspell]

Nothing makes sense but that's the point? I'm not sure that makes sense to begin with.

[archerartemis]

What I always got out of it was that the whole point of the story was how confused Alice was as she tried to make sense out of Wonderland. But it was something that existed outside any science that she knew.

[lifeisbrief]

Oh, I've read that one! It's very well-known.

[handwritten]

[moonspell]

Is it? It sounds like it must be a very impressive story if everyone knows it even across different worlds.

[handwritten]

[lifeisbrief]

It's pretty silly, but very enjoyable.

[handwritten]

[moonspell]

Silly then? I've heard that it was very nonsensical, but that was the point, but it's silly as well?

[ What sort of book is she investing in.. ]

[handwritten]

[lifeisbrief]

Oh, maybe nonsensical is a better word for it...it's a complete fantasy, so I think it was meant to be strange but amusing.
