13 - [video/action] - curse: Groovy New Feelings

[firstaid]

[Estelle is well aware of the birds and the bees, how babies are made and everything. She's actually well educated in such things despite her innocent nature, though knowing is half the battle, right? It means she won't get curious for herself and accidentally scar herself in some way.

Though the City has decided that she's ignorant of such matters. To the point that it decided to change the very book she was reading into a rather... educational scene. Sure, she was reading a romance novel, but she always makes sure to choose rather clean ones. She's been warned of the City and what books it may throw at her...

...and now reading, she had a bit of difficulty deciphering what this current passage was, so she read it outloud.]

"He came back to my mouth and I kissed him, tasting myself which he tasted too."

What does that mean?

[She reads on…]

"I kissed him back and kissed his bare chest all the way down to the top of his… jeans…"

[Okay, this isn't what she was reading, or what she thought it was about, but she's rather sure she didn’t pick up that kind of book.]

"He moaned, stared at me wanting to take his co—"

[And with her face now completely flush, she slams her book shut and throws it across the table. Then looking towards her device, notices it's on and meekly moves in to shut it off. Oh, why of all things was that just broadcast. Curse her luck…

Of course it'd be a curse…]

[A slight giggle.] It was something I caught on to rather quickly.

[errandry]

It is pretty useful to remember. At least you'll know that it's not just you!

[firstaid]

Though... I wonder what it would mean if it was just me...

[Maybe it would mean she would need to be more thorough when she checks out her books...

Luckily, it's not just her.]

[errandry]

I dunno, maybe somebody switched books with you before you got to the desk.

[firstaid]

But... it has the same cover and everything. Do you think someone would go that far to play a prank?

[errandry]

Nah, I didn't mean it was a prank! Thought maybe somebody wanted your book and replaced it with theirs. But if it's got the same cover...

[firstaid]

Yes, it has the same exact cover, and the book mark as in the exact spot where I had left it.

[errandry]

... thennnn it could be the library, yeah.

[firstaid]

And I was doing so well. [She sighs] Hopefully, this is just a one time occurrence. I won't let it happen again! [She sounds like she's trying to get herself determined now.]

[errandry]

... guess that's one way to deal, yeah. They're just books, you can handle 'em!

[firstaid]

Of course I can, I love reading. [That's right, she's not going to let one bad experience ruin her life long hobby! To the books!]
