[Once she had gotten word that there was a library at the school, Ami had made a habit of having regular visits there. She had already gotten through a few of her old favorites, but she was finding herself hesitant to try anything new...

...that, and she didn't even know where to start.

Once she'd found a quiet, secluded little corner in the library, away from any students or easily-annoyed librarians, she opened communication on her device to send out a broadcast for the first time since her return arrival.]

So...

[Eep! Was she too loud?! She hunches her shoulders slightly and keeps her voice at a stage-whisper.]

So I would like to see if there's any interest in starting a book club, here? With such a lovely library, it would be a shame to see the opportunity go to waste!

[She smiles momentarily, but her brow quickly furrows in concern.] Unless there already is one? I'm sorry, I hadn't thought to look into that. If there is a book club, then...please accept my apologies, I don't mean to impose with my own, I'd happily join one if there's already one in existence.

Oh! I mean, if there's open membership, I mean.

[Aaagh, she should've thought out what she was going to say before opening her mouth. Great job, Ami. Now you're blushing, no doubt. Next time write down what you wish to say, and don't stray from it.]

...any interest? Any at all?

[Rei-chan! Ami was elated to hear her teammate would be up for it! ...if someone as discerning as Rei was willing, then maybe there was hope...]

I was just saying to someone that I don't think that would accommodate as many interests...though please tell me, what would your preferences be?

That sounds like a good idea. Two heads are always better than one after all.

Ah, well... It's a story about A noble named Edwin and his valet Edgar. [She glanced to the side.] Although I haven't read very far into them, but it's a series of twenty one books and I only managed to read up to nine.

That is rather confusing way of putting it.

[burningstorm]

[There's a quietly amused look. And hey, you're her friend, Ami-chan! And the only other one who doesn't shirk homework and reading for boy-chasing, it seems.]

Let me rephrase that better. As long we aren't reading any trashy romance novels, I'm in.

[drivememercury]

[What simpler way is there?]

It comes naturally, Minako-chan.

[drivememercury]

Goodness. It must trouble you to not be able to finish them, I bet?

[video]

[drivememercury]

[Come now, Rei-chan! Just how many of our team-mates are seriously chasing after boys now?]

I fully intend on selecting quality literature, rather than the flavor of the moment, if that's what you mean!

[drivememercury]

Do you know where the library is located, then?

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She nods slightly.]

You're right, like always Ami-chan.

video;

[ukidokiotaku]

I do, it's where I sold my books.

video;

[exsistingismysin]

It is, though I've been spoiled about something that happens.

[Stupid Elliot.]

[drivememercury]

[Ami giggles a bit.] Stop saying that! I'm not always right!

video;

[drivememercury]

Oh. [Would you call them 'books', exactly? Weren't they comics?

Though the mere mention of them...well...]

video;

[drivememercury]

[Ami frowns.]

Well, that's unfortunate! Maybe we can find you a new series to sink your teeth into!

video;

[exsistingismysin]

That's what I'm hoping will happen.

video;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Fine, then your usually right. Does that help?

video;

[drivememercury]

Though that still didn't tell me what the genre was. Adventure? Drama? Perhaps I can suggest a few things similar, once I know what about it you enjoyed.

[drivememercury]

[Ami nervously smiles.] I still wouldn't go that far, but thank you.

video;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[But out of all of them, you kind of are.]

You're welcome. Oh and good luck with the book thing.

video;

[exsistingismysin]

I think it fell under Fantasy, Adventure.

[burningstorm]

[Well-- there was Makoto for a while, and Minako is still drooling over them. Usagi is starting a dating service of all things! Boys have been a theme among the other girls lately! You're a breath of fresh air, Ami-chan.]

I never doubted you for a moment. [She smiles.] Do you have any ideas of where you want to start with the selections?

video;

[drivememercury]

Well then! I am most certain there is an abundance of that genre. Considering our surroundings.

video;

[drivememercury]

Thank you. You could always join in too, you know!


...there might be some boys?

[Low blow, Ami. Low blow.]

[video]

[drivememercury]

I was thinking of just browsing the library and making a few selections...but it was entirely dependent on who was interested. 'Cater to your audience' and what-not.
