I was talking to the owner of the Sakuranbo to see if there was anything I could do without being in the public eye and she really wanted me to put on 'performances' for her 'cliente with particular tastes'.

Are people into skeletons in that way??? Why.

Certain things get lost in translation or the attempt at localization changes things too much. There never seems to be a happy medium unless it's a particularly old book.

Those get all the notes and citations.

We should be grateful that we have all the translations that we do, really. When I was young it was hard to find anything aside from translations from the Greek classics.

[chichichi]

Really?

[accidentallich]

I'm pretty old, nu.

[chichichi]

I wouldn't have guessed. You don't sound a day past twenty.

When you're a lich who doesn't know how to use illusions, you don't get out to talk to people much. That's probably why.

[chichichi]

I see.

Well, you can talk to me any time you'd like over these devices or in person if you're comfortable with it. It seems like we'd have plenty to talk about at the least between literature from home and Gaia if you plan on picking up the books here.

[accidentallich]

Yes, please! I'd love to swap book recommendations.

[chichichi]

We should probably swap names, too. I'm Setsura Yamaguchi, and you are?

[accidentallich]

Gershom Alter. Nice to meet you.

[chichichi]

The pleasure's mine.

I'm not sure about that, but thank you.
