A sleepover camp, I can't believe it. The scale of this cosmic joke is off the charts.

While I trek over to Ochreward to make sure it isn't swampland, JUST IN CASE, it might be a good time to bring up

BOOK CLUB!

That's right, I said I'd update everybody interested when Aurora posted about the next mission, and here we go!

If you missed the social media post llllllast month due to... not being here before that, there is no reading theme, we're just talking about favorite books (or stories) to get a feel for if we even WANT themes for future meetups.

The location is going to be at Robin Deli (Charronway). Today being Saturday, let's plan to meet on Monday afternoon? That way, everyone can get ready for the missions upcoming. (Heather, if that's too short-notice, don't worry about the platter.)

That should be it. Please feel free to drop questions here--regarding book club, or I guess summer camp since I spent like five years in one.... so yeah, looking forward to meeting up! Catch you all later.

[ He sees "talking about books", but he's unfamiliar with tje concept, therefore... ]

If I may ask, are there any requisites to attend your meeting?

[welcome_summer]

The only requisites are

1. to select a book you recall enjoying (fiction preferred but non-fiction/informational is fine). It does not have be present in Etraya itself; just needs to be something you have read before.

2. to consider how you would briefly describe the plot/major points of the text and reasons why you would recommend others read it. Or why you wouldn't--some books are suitable for smaller audiences, and that's alright.

3. to consider sharing the above information with the group when we meet, if you would like

There is no cost of entry as we are meeting in a small restaurant shop space.

[oblige]

Very well. Then I will select a title I would recommend. Thank you for the clarification.

[ The real challenge is choosing only one... ]

[welcome_summer]

Happy to assist! Also apologies for the short notice--I meant to post a second announcement but

birds happened

[oblige]

Understandable. In such numbers, I expect they'd divert most.

I heard the trolley was damaged by a red one, in fact.

[ Whatever a trolley is. Some form of transport, evidently. ]

[welcome_summer]

Is THAT why the blue trolley was out of order? I'd only just heard that bird was pestering one of the other new arrivals, not that it was wrecking things. It must really be strong!

[oblige]

Most likely it was provoked, though I could not speak to the exact circumstances in this case. Never approach a red chocobo, lest it summon meteors.

[welcome_summer]

Oh.

"Summoning meteors" sounds really bad.

There is only the one of them, right???

[oblige]

It is deeply unpleasant to contend with.

I've only sighted one here, though I couldn't say for certain.

[welcome_summer]

Well!

We shall hope that it does not find the bodega. Otherwise we will need a new meeting-place!

[oblige]

Likewise, I would hope against further damage. It was fortunate no one seemed to be injured in the trolley incident.
