Hello, all! This is Pyra.

The wedding between Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian is cancelled. I sincerely apologize for any of the confusion and to anyone who was looking forward to attending the party.

I would also like to use this this forum post as an opportunity to ask if anyone would like to help with making repairs to the church? It's coming a long way already, and it's looking fairly decent. We still need repairs to the roof, windows, and doors, and there are a lot of other smaller things that need patch work, but we're coming a long way. And maybe when we're done with this church, we can move onto other places like the town hall! Since we all share this town as our home for the time being, I think it's important to take care of it.

Oh and I suppose I have another casual question, for those who are not interested in either of the two topics above. What is your favorite constellation? Or star? Not that all of our worlds have the same stars, but I would still like to hear about them! Do they have a story or a legend that goes with them?


[ Wow this post is all over the place huh ]

Train or read.

[Look, onee-chan, he won't make this easy for you.]

[pyrafect]

[ She hasn't given up yet! ] What are your favorite sorts of books?

[bittybat]

Ones with words most people can't pronounce.

It doesn't matter. As long as it's not romance or a children's book.

[pyrafect]

So non-fiction? Biographies? Or mysteries and horror?

When’s your birthday?

[ SHE’S SO OBVIOUS. ]

[bittybat]

[She... she is so obvious.]

None of your concern. I do not require gifts.

[pyrafect]

Well if not for your birthday, then I'll just have to find books you might like! Anddd I'll just give them to you the next time I see you. :P

[ How does he like them apples? ? ]

[bittybat]

I'd be impressed if you found something I haven't read yet. I've already read everything in the library.

[closes my eyes]

[pyrafect]

You have??





Actually that's really impressive. Do you have any you recommend? [ Because if she reads it, then she can talk to him about it! And he'd have someone to talk to about that book, too!

But also because of his answer, she's thinking that maybe she should try to think of something else that's ~fun~ she can do with him. ]

[STOP]

I've been here a year more or less. Anyone in similar standing should have read everything in there as well.

One Thousand and One Nights.

[ Anyone in similar standing should have read everything in there as well.

This kid.

This kid. ] It takes a lot of dedication to read through an entire library. Even if others haven’t, that you have makes you someone that others can rely on. :)

And why One Thousand and One Nights, if you don’t mind me asking?

[ It sounds like a survival book to her from the title alone: how to forage and live off the wilderness for 1001 nights.

But also she’s asking because she genuinely wants to know what interests him and connect with him! ]

[bittybat]

[He is A Lot all of the time with zero chill. Also, bold of Pyra to assume he would help anyone relying on him instead of being a brat and telling them to go read one of the books.]

It's an accumulation of stories within a bigger story. I enjoy the use of the frame narrative. Each story is different, but entertaining.

[And, like, there's maybe one other big reason, but he doesn't say this.]

[pyrafect]

So like an anthology! Thanks for recommending it, I'll be sure to read it as soon as I have some spare time. d(･∀･○)

Then we can talk about it together. I'm sure you have a lot of well-thought out... thoughts to share about the stories.

[bittybat]

I could provide a dissertation perhaps.

But sometimes a story is just a story.

[pyrafect]

No, no! Talking about a story, for fun I mean!

That's what you have to do with friends.

[ She thinks they're friends okurrr ]

[bittybat]

[Oh boy. Someone else to try to bully him with friendship.]

Discuss a story for its merits, not for amusement.

I don't recall every saying I had friends.

[pyrafect]

Well, even if you don't think of me as a friend, I will be a friend to you.

That counts.
