Who: Uchiha Sasuke+YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: Jan. 31

A few things.

There are a good number of fighters here or people otherwise trained in combat. I'm interested in observing people's abilities or training, or at least discussing what they can do. Spars could also be arranged if you want some exercise.

Secondly, I'll take recommendations for good literature available around here.

Finally, if you know how to knit or crochet then I'll offer you up to ten credits to watch you create something.

[ Yeah, this isn't weird. For anyone interested in action he'll be holed up in his room on the Huntress! ]

[diD YOU JUST MENTION BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS]

I've been all through the datary, there is some fascinating stuff in there. I'd be more than happy to point you toward my favorites!!

[ Okay we need to take the energy level down from eleven to about a four, where Sasuke lives. ]

... slow down. If you have recommendations then state them one at a time and in a calm manner.

[more reading rainbow less elmo's house, got it]

Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction? Most of my recommendations are the latter. Oh and would you rather have physical books or downloads?

[ omfg ]

I don't have a strong preference either way; both can be useful. But I'd prefer a physical book.

I hate this technology.

I don't hate it myself, but I do prefer having actual books in my hands too.

There's a really cool encyclopedic series in the physical materials section on the civil uprising of the Hzzgrogr people from the Iilmani system. It's about six volumes so it's pretty hefty, but there's several centuries' worth of information in there and it's a pretty wild ride the whole way. Plus the author organizes it more like a series of legends rather than strictly informational, so it's pretty fun to read also. [Of course Sorey likes reading the boring shit too. Because he's a fuckin' nerd.] I think the filing code for volume one issss... I.H.3055.21.1? Or it's 31.1. Don't quote me on it.

Ah.

Don't worry, I won't.

[ RIVETING... ]

It sounds like something that would interest me, though it's somewhat callous to call something like that a 'wild ride'. [ Uchiha Sasuke just called you callous; how does that feel. ]

Did you actually read it all that quickly?

Is it? [what's up i bop around tombs like i'm in disneyland]

Within a couple days. It's not a difficult read, there's just a lot to absorb.

I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. [ god, obviously, Sorey ]

Absorption of information is nothing to me. Tell me your name.

[it was like seventeen thousand years ago bro build an einstein-rosen bridge and get over it]

Sorey, [he says, with a hint of a laugh. what a pushy guy. it's kinda funny though.] I have more recommendations, if you run out of material.

[ pain does not expire blah blah time is a river that flows both ways blah how dare you blah blah blah we can learn from our ancestors I can't actually type out his bs ]

I'm going to run out. I read quickly and there's far too much time in this place to do nothing.

Right! In that case, you should also go for Folklore of the Forzthaleon People volumes one and two, The Rise and Fall of the Chvenx Oligarchy, the Outer Arm Report periodicals, D-N-6553's Greatest Love Poetry and Dr. Fynihyrescht's Theory of Senient Evolution. [what was that one toward the end there buddy]

... Folklore of the Forzthaleon People, The Rise and Fall of the Chvenx Oligarchy, the Outer Arm Report periodicals, D-N-6553's Greatest Love Poetry, and Dr. Fynihyrescht's Theory of Senient Evolution. Understood.

[ ... ]

Don't you mean 'sentient'?

I thought so too! But nope, it's not a typo in the title. 'Senient' is apparently a kind of self-aware fungus found in the Xix Nebula.

[ god. who hurt you. ]

That sounds incredibly useless.

I guess that depends on your perspective, doesn't it? It's probably not useless to the Senient.

Anyway, please enjoy those books! I hope you find them as interesting as I did. Do you mind if I contact you later with some more suggestions once I get further along in my own reading?

I suppose there's no helping it. [ He could not sound much less excited but still, this is a start. ]

I'll skip the fungus theories.

Suit yourself!

What's your name? So I can contact you later!

... Uchiha Sasuke. [ Kind of a mouthful when said quickly. ]

You need to calm down.

Hahaha. Sorry, is it making you uncomfortable? I can tone it down when I talk to you. [you delicate flower]

You cheerfully worked yourself into a near literary frenzy over a fungus. I wouldn't say I'm feeling discomfort, but I don't know what label to apply to that.

[ tbqh ]

[oh buddy] Then I'll keep that in mind for future correspondence! I hope you enjoy your reading, Uchiha Sasuke.

[ ... he's going to use his whole name every time, isn't he. ]

I'll manage. Later.
