[k] @Murasaki Shikibu Is there something not to your satisfaction? [k] @Ivan the Terrible Oh, I was just thinking how about how much this library's contents differ from my archive. [k] ?1:Does that mean you found it disappointing? ?! [charaFace C 4] @Ivan the Terrible No, it is not that. [k] @Ivan the Terrible Most of the books I collected were ancient philosophical texts, grimoires, and treatises on various subjects. [k] @Ivan the Terrible I had always meant to translate them into my mother tongue so that I could gain even greater wisdom, but it seems such books are few and far between here. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Murasaki Shikibu True, not many patrons check out philosophy books or treatises, so we usually keep them in the archive. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu And as a rule, books in the archive are only meant to be read there and may not be checked out. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Murasaki Shikibu Also, unfortunately...I'm afraid we have very little in the way of grimoires or books on magecraft. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu I'm so sorry. I know almost nothing about Western magecraft or sorcery, so... [k] @Ivan the Terrible All that aside, it seems to me that this library still has room for further expansion. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Murasaki Shikibu Hm? [k] @Murasaki Shikibu Well, yes, this space was all constructed using magecraft, so there is still plenty of room left to expand...

[charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ivan the Terrible Indeed. [k] @Ivan the Terrible This library holds great potential. [k] @Ivan the Terrible It deserves to be a singular collection with collections and rare books from every corner of the globe; one that is at least every bit the equal of my archive. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Murasaki Shikibu O-oh my! That would be absolutely wonderful,[sr]but I'm afraid that, well... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Yes. I'm sorry to have to tell you this,[sr]Ivan, as it really is a lovely idea... [k] @Mash ...but we're just not allowed to bring back books or other important objects from Rayshifts. [k] @Mash That goes double for especially rare and notable books and grimoires. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ivan the Terrible True. However, I have an idea how to get around that. [k] @Ivan the Terrible Surely it cannot take much data to digitize a book. [k] @Ivan the Terrible Therefore, we should be able to bring back any books we find in digital form, then simply recreate them as physical copies. [k] ?1:Isn't that counterfeiting!? ?! @Ivan the Terrible Hmm... Yes, I suppose it might be. However, humanity itself is currently on the verge of annihilation. [k] @Ivan the Terrible Thus, as lovers of the written word, it is our right[line 2][sr]nay, our duty, to gather as many books as we can.

[k] [charaFace E 4] @Iskandar Of course, preserving books as data instead of just taking them by force isn't nearly as exciting from a conqueror's perspective.

[k] @Ivan the Terrible I am greatly surprised to see a complete copy of the original Gutenberg Bible in a shop such as this. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Iskandar Well, well. A new translation of “The Iliad,” huh. [k] @Iskandar Hmm... I've only read a few pages here and there so far, but this seems to be quite an interesting version. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Iskandar Let's get this one too, Master. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?1:Excuse me... ?! [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Ghost Yes?

[k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut G 1200,1200] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Ghost I have been reading these books for over two hundred years, long after I became nothing but skin and bones, and eventually dust. [k] @Ghost I have read grimoires and rare books of every conceivable shape, size, and color. I've even read books that move about on their own. [k] @Ghost If you want to create an unauthorized digital facsimile my collection, then do your worst! [k] ?1:How do you even know what all that is!? ?! @Ghost I've always been on top of the latest trends.[sr]Now come, let's take this outside. [k] @Ghost After all, I'd die if anything were to happen to my books. [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 0.5] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_80 0.4] [wait fade] [soundStopAll] [end]
