Zehn - [Voice]

[Well, Kurt is at home with nothing to do. He's finished his homework, goofed off in the Battle Dome, and isn't quite up to crashing in on his friends and seeing what they're up to. Apparently that's annoying. So he has only one alternative - watch movies he's already seen several times or be entertained by Luceti's populace. Which means getting a discussion going. Something simple and mindless to talk about.]

Okay, so everyone. You're on a boat and it shipwrecks on a deserted island. You can only take one thing with you from home. What is it?

... ohh, right, and if you have any kind of superpowers that would get you off the island, those don't count. Or for making new stuff and- actually, yeah, no superpowers at all. Just stuff you bring!

You make him sound more and more intriguing every second. When I do stop and think about how so many people here are from beyond my time, I can only turn green with envy. There must be so many amazing things yet to be written or played or enjoyed.

Ah! Well, I bet there's just as much stuff waiting to be written for me too.

[ ah. the library. she smiles to see it appear ahead of them on the path. ] Perhaps you should ask around. Maybe someone will know a future writer to suggest to you.

Maybe. Or maybe some good movie recs would work too.

...Move...[ she frowns. ] What is moving?

Movie. I guess they don't have them in your time... [How to explain it?] They're moving pictures, yeah? Like the journals! Only instead of some other person, it has a show... ahh, like a stage show, yeah? But you can watch it anytime you want.

That sounds phenomenal. Do they have any of those here?

I happen to have one in my own home!

[ why yes, it is possible for her smile to get even brighter. ]

Your very own? [ because she is imagining a theatre stage in your house. ]

Totally! Drop by sometime, I'll show you some good ones. [It's BETTER than a theatre. It has surround sound!]

...To your house?

[ alert alert. ]

Yeah, where else?

[Here's the library, so he's opening it up for them.]

It must be an awfully large house.

Not any bigger than the ones here...

Oh -- right. An exceptionally small theatre, then.

Television, Anne. Not an actual theatre.

[ television? what is television? ]

Right. Well -- perhaps a small visit some time would not be amiss.

Totally.

[Now that they're in the library, he looks around and then heads to the kid's section.] There's some movies about some of Dr. Seuss's stuff too. Although they're not great.

[ she might get briefly distracted by some of the books on the way. just be patient. ]

I have read that the stage adoptions rarely hold a candle to the originals.

That's what people usually say, yeah.

[As he looks for the books, he notices Anne isn't quite keeping up... oh well. He can wait.]

[ she eventually catches up with a few choice tomes under her arms. ] S-sorry. They looked simply irresistible.

[He just shakes his head, amused at her antics and apologies.]

It's fine. There's not hurry, yeah?

[ she pokes around these shelves, too. ]

I suppose there isn't. Luceti offers a great deal of leisure time.

Right, well- aha!

[He kneels down and pluck a book from a shelf. He holds the book out for her to cake.]

The Grinch. A total classic.

This cat...he's green!

[ she browses through a few pages. ]
