Hey I got a little problem I could use some help with. There's this nice, little, teenage girl who's never read a book before, so I told her I'd get her one as a surprise gift. But uh, I'm drawin' up a blank. What kinda books do girls even read nowadays?

[OOC: That helps me understand your Yuri a lot better now :D thanks for taking the time to tell me!]

If ya do know someone who's takin' it harder than everyone else, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give them a visit. I know your not one for cheerin' people up, but I'm sure they could do with seein' a familiar face.

[[OOC: No problem! /o/]]

... Maybe so. [... Although, he has no idea where Emil even lives now. Oh well, maybe he'll randomly come across him at some point. It happens.]

[crisisrain]

Good! Glad to see ya still care about the little people every once in a while.

Least it's gone now and things have quieted down for a bit. So, got any book suggestions?

[trueknight]

[Oh good, topic change /o/ Leaping on that now.] Nope. I'm not really one for reading, honestly.

[crisisrain]

No surprise there, but I'm sure Estelle has told ya some good books to read. I figured she might like some of the same stuff you would.

[trueknight]

Unless Xion's got an interest in parenting, I doubt she'd want to read anything Estelle's suggested to me.

[crisisrain]

... For once I truly agree with ya. That'd send a message I'd rather avoid.

[trueknight]

Yeah, I can't see anyone taking something like that too innocently.

[crisisrain]

That's an understatement.

Why couldn't she have asked for somethin' like a cuddly toy or a cake.

[trueknight]

Well, if it's too hard for you, I'm sure you could come up with some excuse for giving something else.

[crisisrain]

Could do, but she seemed quite enthusiastic about gettin' a book. The same way I get when I see a pretty lady.

[trueknight]

Then I guess you're stuck. [pause] It can't be that hard to pick a book out for her, can it? Just choose whatever looks like it might be interesting for her and hope it is. If she doesn't like it, then it's the thought that counts, right?

[crisisrain]

Not a bad idea, I figured it would've been nicer ta get a book she could enjoy readin' as her first though.

[trueknight]

Did you try asking to see what kind she'd want at all?

[crisisrain]

Her exact words were: [And he puts on a girly voice...] "I just don't even know where to begin in terms of subjects, there are so many things to learn about!"

...

Not a voice I'd like to use again any time soon mind you.

[trueknight]

... Yeah. Please don't. [Like Yuri can talk after the Karol impressions he's done. Oh well :|;] Anyway, that's ... pretty broad. It sounds like she'd be happy with just about anything, but it's still kinda hit-or-miss either way.

[ ... ]

Well, have fun with that.

[crisisrain]

Thanks for bein' a bucket full of help Mr. Lowell.

As long as it's safe for kids I'll find something good.
