[Day 3, Public]

[anti_nonsense]

[Oh hey, Rita's actually using the network today. Her voice sounds weak and raspy, but she's got some water handy, so she should be able to make it through talking without hurting her throat too much, at least for a while. Besides, this is important.]

Right... so, apparently, I'm not supposed to do anything too strenuous until I've recovered more... which is fine and all, but the thing is... I've already read every book in my trailer three times over.

Anybody got any books I can borrow? Nonfiction is preferred, but frankly, I'm getting desperate.

How... likely is that. And in what time frame?

[anti_nonsense]

In my experience... about fifty-fifty? We visit a new one every two, three weeks or so.

[It sounds like Connie's interested in books, though, so...]

If there's something you're looking for, you can try asking around. Me, I try to collect books about magic and science. Other people might focus on different genres.

[sworntothesword]

[ Magic and science??? Rita you just earned several Connie Relationship Points. ]

Really? What specifically do they delve into? Can I borrow some?

[anti_nonsense]

I guess I can lend you some, if you'll take good care of them. [Rita would be bored out of her mind if not for the kind souls lending books to her, so she might as well pay it forward...]

Let's see...

There's this spell book I brought from home, describes a lot about the gods worshiped by the ancients... books about otherworld astronomy, biology, metaphysics... [She seems to be looking over her collection as she speaks.] One about witches -- that one seemed pretty accessible for laymen.

[sworntothesword]

I PROMISE!

[ Books were sacred. She would sooner throw herself into the flames of eternal hellfire sooner than dog ear a page. ]

[anti_nonsense]

...

[That's certainly... an emphatic response.]

[Oh well. She seems sincere enough, so...]

Right, well... I'm in Trailer 19, if you want to come and take a look.

[sworntothesword]

I will definitely do that! What times and days would be amenable to you?

we can move to action in the next tag, if you'd like!

[anti_nonsense]

Any time is good... I guess...

I'm supposed to be recovering, so I'll be at my trailer more often than not. You could even come today, if you want.

1/2

[sworntothesword]

Okay, I'll be right there!

2/2 Action!

[ Connie found Rita's trailer relatively easily with the intutive numbering and ordering system. She wondered if it was difficult to make everyone line up like that, or if this was more like the trailers never moved and only its little pocket dimension did. The way they got to come back here from the Manor seemed to indicate that.

She knocked on Rita's door, a little more comfortable now, and since it was an actual door, unlike Gonganzaka's tent which was not a door. ]

[anti_nonsense]

Come in.

[Rita left the door unlocked, as it's too much of a pain to go answer it while she's trying to keep cozy and recuperate. She sits cross-legged on the couch with her wings partly curled around her shoulders. There's a pillow next to her and a blanket that's draped down to the floor, suggesting she's been sleeping on this couch.]

[There are a couple piles of books lying around the trailer; one on the floor, one on a counter. Loose sheets of paper litter the table, though most have been gathered in a stack close to the wall. A glance at those papers will reveal detailed writings about magic and mathematics illustrated with pencil sketches of magical devices and magic circles.]
