[Well, it took Ginko awhile to find the laptop and a bit longer to figure out how to use it, but eventually he managed, so here's a brand new color handle on the forum.]

hello
i'm not entirely certain i am doing this correctly
but if other people can see this, my name is ginko

i had a question, for anyone who cares to answer
have you ever heard of creatures called mushi?
some of the phenomena i have heard about in this town bear similarities with ones from my own home, ones that are caused by these beings
i would be curious to know if they ring familiar to anyone else

in that vein, i'd like to investigate the surrounding forest, but i've been warned against doing so alone
if anyone should care to accompany me, i would appreciate it

finally, i was told i should speak with a midoriya and a maya amano for further details about our situation
if anyone knows where i can find them, or how best to contact them, please let me know

thank you

It is lovely to meet you, Ginko.

I have not heard of "Mushi," no, but I would be in your debt if you could elaborate.

Memorizing new information is my purpose, so fulfilling it would make me quite happy.

[tenthousandmiles]

[Their "purpose", hm. That's interesting. He wonders if this person does work similar to Tanyuu's.]

you needn't consider it a debt
i would be happy to tell you about mushi
but perhaps you can give me your name, in exchange?

[anamnestik]

Oh, but of course. Thank you.

My name is Eliot Durant. I'm a Living Library.

I'll be happy to be of service in exchange, should you desire any information.

[tenthousandmiles]

a "living library"?

[What a fascinating concept. It actually does sound a lot like what Tanyuu does, memorizing what goes into each and every volume in the archives so that she would be able to recopy it should the paper start to decay enough to risk releasing the pieces of Forbidden Mushi sealed inside.]

that sounds like quite a duty
is it something passed down in your family or village, or did you choose to pursue this yourself?

as for mushi, like i told midoriya-san above, they are among the living creatures that populate the earth
close to the heart of life itself, and as such their existences are ambiguous
many people cannot perceive them at all, though mushi hold enough physicality to be able to influence them regardless
