[There's a (seemingly) nineteen-year-old woman on the feed again, holding up a copy of the latest book in the teens/young adults section just high enough for the watch on the table to capture it.]

For those who noticed I was gone for most of last month... I'm back.

[And somehow, all the horrors of Helltower did not prepare her for what she returned to. She reads a page, flips it, then tears the page out of the book.]

I'd say it's nice knowing not much changed, but-

[Suddenly, the page is on fire and not burning her as it's reduced to smoke and a fine ash that falls into a bucket at her feet.]

...I think some things--

[Reading, reading... Oh how she used to love reading and-- wait "Water" is the girlfriend of Earth!? And they're siblings?! NOOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOOOOOOOOO. DOES NOT COMPUTE. DOES NOT COMPUTE. DOES NOT COMPUTE.]

...can go unsaid.

[Yeah. Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah. She glares at the book, still burning it page for page. Now she gets why her brother was on anon.

She places down the book, and calmly and maturely decides to say as follows:]

If you decide to burn your copies or want them reduced to ashes, please send them to me. I think I have an... appropriate use for them.

And if anyone starts calling me "Water...

[Oh, hello there venom in tone. (Where do they even get their information, anyway...?) Regardless, the feed ends soon after. Though the scent of burning pages can be smelled all throughout the Castle of Departure.]

[Thank you, Aqua, for destroying this travesty to good writing.]

It should be taboo to have these in circulation.

[Ok, the books are hilarious but she kinda caught her employees sneaking in some reading time. While it's good about reading, it's pissing off the customers. Right after Yu's post she hears about it and then sees Aqua's. Hmm...]

Need some [Hic!]help?

[Excuse her hiccups.]

[You're very welcome.]

Should be, somehow isn't. [How the heck do they get the materials for circulating this piece of crap, anyway?]

[You poor soul...]

I wouldn't mind an Agi or two, no. ...Are you okay?

[ . . . he really shouldn't. But... but... it's so very tempting. ]

I'm guessing you didn't really enjoy the read, Water?

[ He has a perfectly deadpan lineface on, though inwardly he's hoping she'll take the joke without getting too mad at him. ]

Why don't more people read books on ethic philosophy and history?

[ Garviel is annoyed by how apparently popular this stuff is. ]

I understand such vulgar things are popular and lurid even in my time but this was.... excessive.

I'm [Hic!] alright, just these [Hic!] hiccups are hard to [Hic!] get rid off.

[Blame her boyfriend.]

I'll come over.

[Hic! Hic! Hic!]

Probably because it's accepted and not reviled like it should be.

I think Hobbes is rolling around in his grave. [She's as confused on that front as you are. Seriously, even in 2185 you could probably see copies of some trashy novels somewhere.]

Being online all night from insomnia whee.

"I think it's the author who should have read books on ethic."

No doubt. But there is little to be done now.

[Well. This is a bit scary. Dakki might have refrained from commenting, but she sort of knew who Aqua was and she did have a vague familiarity with the book, so...]

...why are you burning that book? It's not very good, but it's not that bad. [She pauses.] Is it? I've read worse...

"Sadly, since burning bookstores for this is overkill..."

I wouldn't be surprised, really...

I see... [Oh she totes will.] Okay then.

[She sends a picture image of the outside privately and directions along with the message: It changes during the 13th Hour.]

[...MINATO PLZ. You made her accidentally burn the front cover, too.]

Considering what Yosuke's fangirls did at the tournament...?

[MINOR CHARACTER. STILL WORRIED AS HELL. Especially for if Ventus ever shows up. ("Fire", on the other hand...]

I don't know... though I have to agree with her. The author really should have.

[It's okay Dakki. It's just a controlled burning of something that really shouldn't be A Thing.]

...Because my name means "Water", just like my two best friends' names mean "Earth" and "Wind." They didn't even bother trying to change our appearances, either.

[Oh, she remembers that place when all the buildings popped up. It shouldn't take too long to get there.

Once she does arrive at the front doors, she knocks a couple times. And yes, she still is hiccuping.]

I wonder what purpose such foolishness serves. I cannot imagine one, myself.

Burning books is rather dangerous, evven if they are foolish or wrong. I flinch to see it even here.

"How so?"

You could have them sent to me. I could practice Mega Flare on them. [Says your bro. Who has popcorn.

What? It's not every day that Aqua burns a book. And this one is so deserving of that fate.]

[It's just a taaad different during the day, which is why she sent a picture.

Aqua opens the door, a kind of barrier spell vanishing from the door as she does so.]

Hello, Yukiko-san.

[She moves to the side to let her friend inside, the sight of the tall wall behind her and throne room above greeting her.]

I have no idea, either. But then... I'm not sure I want to know more about what goes on in this author's head.

I'm so glad I still have my mask...

I'll make sure some are sent to you, too.

[She rolls her eyes, but seems amused.] You know... I think I may not leave the barrier on the doors when the 13th Hour approaches the next couple of weeks. If they find out where we live...

[Well, she's collecting the ashes in a bucket for a reason.]
