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?

I'm Raven, nice ta meet ya kid!

[perplexme]

I'm not a kid...

Raven...hi. You met Xion on her birthday?

[crisisrain]

Well how old are then?

Sort of, I'm tryin' to keep this a secret gift.

[perplexme]

I'm sixteen...sorta. I guess.

I guess that makes sense. Just seems kind of sudden.

[crisisrain]

Sixteen'll do fine. Ya look it so even if it's not true no one will know the difference.

Sudden? Why do you say that?

[perplexme]

That's about what I figure.

Because you just met her.

[crisisrain]

Does that matter? Everythin' is free here anyway it's no loss ta me and it'd make her happy, so it seems like a good idea.

[perplexme]

...you just want to make her happy?

[crisisrain]

Sure why not? Nothin' wrong with makin' people happy, especially in a place like this.

[perplexme]

Right...I guess that's okay.

[crisisrain]

Can't blame ya for bein' suspicious of me. I'm guessin' your one of her friends?

[perplexme]

Yeah, sorry. It's just really important that she's okay.

[crisisrain]

Heh, well I've got no intentions of doin' any harm to her. I'm not the kind of person ta go hurtin' kids for any reason.

[perplexme]

Then I guess I can't really stop you, now can I? [Yeah, that was basically all he needed clarification for.]

[crisisrain]

Well ya can if you want too. But then her little heart will be all broken from not gettin' the book the anonymous person in her journal promised.

[perplexme]

[...you know, he's just not going to comment on the heart thing.] Heh. Right. Let me know if you still need help deciding on a book then.

[crisisrain]

[Heheh it's not like Raven has a heart either.] Well I've had some good input from others, still a little unsure. I think I'm just gonna grab somethin' that looks interestin'.

[perplexme]

That's probably the best idea. She'll like it no matter what, probably.

[crisisrain]

Glad ta hear it! Thanks for yer help~
