[Well all of that doll nonsense was, you know. Fun.

(It was not)

But it's over now, so moving on! Out of sight, out of mind!

Oona appears on the network, around 10 books scattered around her. From the looks of the covers, they're all very trashy ridiculous romance novels. Oona sits on the floor in the middle of them, one in her hand and opened somewhere in the middle, but her expression is a bit disappointed and exasperated]

Human books are so strange! Like stories and such-- really like romance. There is so many! But so weird. Want to read romance, but keep talking about gardens!

[Wait what.

She looks disappointedly at the book again and sighs deeply.] Where did she get flowers from, so sudden? Why is he stroking 'quivering flower petals'? [UH] Or rubbing buds? [oona wait--]

And! Man keeps suddenly having hard swords? They stab, but girls like? So weird! Is all such nonsense! [ooNA NO.

She tosses the book none-too-gently over her shoulder and rests her elbow on her knee, chin in hand, pouting.]

Tell me better stories.

[She perks up immediately at the familiar face, clearly happy to see him] Gu Yun!

[Ah, the rest of that question tho...She blinks and glances away] Will survive, of course. This is surviving. But, do not need mate to survive. But, suppose, 'surviving' and 'living' are different.

But, it is not like it is not true. [She'll be Forever Alone, but like, whatever, it's Fine. she's fine and not lonely at all, nope!!]

[She looks slightly embarrassed but grins as she nods. Oh, yes, she remembers!! She's trying to figure out what relevance that might have to this, when he explains further.

She looks surprised a moment and then frowns thoughtfully, eyeing the books.]

Ah, yes, but-- Hmm... Must they write so confusingly? [She sighs, exasperated.] What fun is it if can not even tell what is being talked about? Ah, humans...

[She looks confused and looks at the book again, staring at the pages with a furrowed brow and look of utmost concentration.

But it's going to take her too long to parse through it and she gives up, lowering the book with a sigh.] ...Head hurts.

[She hasn't figured out what it's supposed to actually be referring to, but she can examine it all later. Instead she pouts at him]

Why must humans be so confusing? Is it fun, for your kind? Ahh, like having stories in this way, can not be so easily forgotten or changed. But so much work... [A work she likes putting in anyhow because the reward is greater than the amount of time she wastes trying to get through them, but still.]

[Oona nods, then picks up another book, flipping through the dog-eared pages until she finds what she's looking for. She reads slowly, carefully making her way through the part.]

His sword was long and hard, warm in her hand and heavy. It was bigger than she had expected, but her stomach tingled in desire for it as she guided it to her. When finally he pierced her through with it, she couldn't contain her cry of pleasure, which only grew louder as he continued to stab at her insides.

[She stops and makes an 'etc' gesture.] Goes on like that, quite a bit. Lots of stabbing and poking.

Sex? [She echoes, looking baffled. She stares at the other books a moment, frowning in a mix of uncertainty and confusion, before fixing him with the same doubtful look]

Qingqiu, have not had much sex, but there were not flowers there. [She pauses, thoughtful and intrigued] ...Should have been? [Having sex in a field of flowers would be nice...

Oh wait, she's getting distracted! She shakes her head. SHe can figure out what's supposed to mean what now with that in mind, but she still looks a bit put out.] Suppose understand, a little, but it is so confusing... Are all romance stories like this? Like romance, but so hard...

[Reading is HARD]

Ero...tica... [Oona echoes slowly, feeling like she has, like...a vague idea of what that's supposed to be referring to, but ??]

It is hard. [Finding better books, she means, pouting a little.] Do not read so good. Ah! Nagi should, hmm... What is word... Suggest! [She means 'recommend,' but this works too.

Also yes 'Nagi' is her name for him now.]

For-- [She pauses for just a moment confused as to what 'fucking' refers to, before she suddenly gives a little 'ah' of understanding and nods. Right, okay.] Suppose understand, a little, but it is so much. So confusing.

What like to read, then?

Some people write so because in some places, sex is considered a shameful activity, and it is inappropriate to discuss or describe it overtly other than in very private settings. Or very specific ones. Sometimes, it is done so to shield the attention of children from more than they ought to know - a book might end up in the hands of many.

For others, finding the most interesting way to describe it is considered a challenge, though that is more often in poetry than prose.

[It takes him a moment she means him, he's not sure what to do about that nick name, he's never had one before and it gives him pause. But not for long as he does respond fairly quickly.]

I had assumed everything here just naturally translated, but maybe there are limits.

Oh! If reading is a bit hard but you still want to enjoy printed stories, perhaps romance manga would be a good idea? You don't get silly euphemisms, but you might get some silly illustrations.

Well, it is supposed to be poetic and evocative... at least when it is done well. The idea is to stimulate the imagination by only suggesting and giving images.

As I said, when done well, it can be powerful and extremely erotic. However...

[He very much doubts those are the works of great poets. He caught a glimpse of the cover of the book while she was flipping through it.]

Those are probably not the best example of it to be honest, but that is not their purpose. They are mean to be titillating.

[She considers that a moment; she hadn't thought of kids getting their hands on books, but with that in mind... She nods a little.] Hm, yes, suppose makes sense. [Doesn't make it much easier on HER, but sure.]

Ah, like poetry too. Can be more confusing, but they are nice. [She grins.] There are many about mermaids! [Mostly...about them drowning people, but, you know. That's half the fun!!]

Xunxian, you must read lots, yes? Will have to take some books!

['When done well,' is right. Oona snorts and looks at the books] These are not done well. [She'll admit to that, in complete agreement.

She shrugs a little and smiles] But they are fun in own way. Will just have to keep finding more! Must be some books that are not terrible.

[It's just as well that he's still using voice because his expression sure does some funny things here.

There's his usual brand of attentive listening (which still looks vaguely irritated), and then a confused frown, because...all right. A sword could be warm if it were magic...though why mention that it's hard? Isn't that rather redundant? But then...why was she guiding the sword towards her and why would she be crying out in pleasure from it--]

[And that was about the point where his expression went from thoughtful to red-faced surprise as he understood exactly what she's reading.

Then he glared.]

Throw that out.

[Or set it on fire. Either works.]

Ah, no, is not like that. Hmm, more like... Am still learning ho to read. Know how, a little, but it is slow. [There aren't any books under the sea, you know??

She's never heard of 'manga' before though, but she looks interested all the same.] Picture books? [She makes a slightly skeptical expression.] Picture books are for children, yes? Or, are they different?

It is very strange. [She nods, as if clearly the act that it's written so poorly is the reason she should throw it out, and not the content within.]

Chuchu, do you read? For fun. [Oona wasn't sure she'd have to specify that normally, but with him it seems a bit important.]

Totally different. Their pictures but they are done to convey action and story, they're sequential. The only written part are sound effects and speech bubbles. They're for all sorts of ages, adult and children. They can be easier to read and I know there are people who use it to practice.

In fact there are even educational manga. So it's worth looking into.

No, there aren't actual flowers involved. It's.....a comparison. Comparing parts of the body with objects that may hold a similar shape or appearance.

[He refuses to say any more than that! Does he even know any more than that? It's not like he has any actual (s)experience himself, despite all those brothel visits.

Excuse him as he moves to cover his face with his fan...] I don't usually read romance stories, but the ones I've heard all tended to be similar in effect - hiding the less appropriate scenes behind flowery words, to make it sound prettier than it is.

It's filth.

[Stop reading it!]

...when I have the time. [Which is almost never where he's from but, well...he has a lot more time here.]

[oh no. wei wuxian then tries to switch modes - it takes a bit, but he manages it.

even though the video is kind of looking up his nose a little.]

I meant to say that in romance novels, flowers are often used to describe a woman's maidenhood, and swords a man's, er, manhood, as it were.

Did your book come with pictures?

[There's a Lot he could comment on this. Like where to even begin? But the young man on the screen looks pretty amused, as he rest his head on his palm.]

Well... yeah, humans can be pretty strange. So it's not weird for them to write just as strange stories.

oona ....bro

i think that's porn

[ no use beating around the bush about it. she has to learn about how pervy humanity is at some point. ]

[josuke why you gotta do her like this] Do not want to read texts... [SIGHS DEEPLY.

But she scrunches her nose a moment] Porn? But, there are no pictures... Would probably be better with pictures, truthfully.

[She looks baffled and then laughs a little] Is bad, but do not know if it is that bad!

[Jeez, chuchu!! But she raises an eyebrow at that and her tone turns teasing] So, you are always reading?

[ oh yeah he forgot she doesn't like texting .... Josuke turns on video then. ] Oh, sorry ...

Uhh, well, guess there are R18 magazines you can buy if that's what you want. [ at least she seems to know what it is. he doesn't want to have to explain! ]
