[k] ?1:Not very well. ?! @Murasaki Shikibu Sei Shounagon is an author from Japan's Heian period,[sr]much like myself. [k] [charaFace C 7] @Murasaki Shikibu Of course, we had quite different taste in genres. My focus was on narrative, while she preferred essays... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu But, she was still the only other woman besides me who managed to hold her own in the harsh world of the old imperial court... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu A world quite thoroughly dominated by men. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Murasaki Shikibu What's more, she trounced every single opponent who challenged her to a lyrical Heian MC battle... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu ...so I know she was very...skilled.

Have you ever read it, Master!? [k] @Murasaki Shikibu It's said to be the first collection of essays ever written in Japan... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu ...and it details her singular thoughts and feelings on daily life in the palace court using a wide variety of colorful prose. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu At the time, the first passage from her essay[sr]“In Spring the Dawn” was so shocking that[line 2] [k] ?1:Okay, that's enough for now, please! ?! [charaFace C 3] @Murasaki Shikibu Ah... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu I-I'm so sorry.[sr]There I go getting carried away again... [k] ?1:I take it you're a huge fan of hers? ?! [messageOff] [charaFace C 6] [wt 0.7] [charaFace C 2] @Murasaki Shikibu No, I'm not! [k] @Murasaki Shikibu I-I-I do think her work has historical value,[sr]but that doesn't mean I care for it! [k] @Murasaki Shikibu Not to mention that there are many passages where her attempts to show off her knowledge only demonstrate how little she truly understands! [k] @Murasaki Shikibu I can't tell you how many headaches I got from trying to make sense of all of her anecdotes where she was clearly just bragging about how great her life was! [k] @Murasaki Shikibu In modern parlance, the phrase that best describes my true opinion of her work would be, “Oh NO she didn't!” [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_7 1.2] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Sei Shounagon?
