[ Evenings in Re-L's apartment lately have been.. almost lively. With Iggy back she's spent more time being a bit more insular, reacquainting with her Entourage and settling in to having him around again. The phantom limb from before has faded in to...

Perhaps she could call it sadness. Yearning, maybe, too. To know what Iggy could've been like if she'd given him the chance to live freely with Cogito, as Pino and Kristeeva still do with her and Vincent. Thinking too much and too hard has always been her downfall, and for lack of anything else to do with her musings than seek some kind of guidance, she's slunk away to a library to see if there is any advice to be had that may soothe her mind some.

- - By the volumes that surround her, it seems that's been a not so fruitful endeavor, a volume thrown to the side with an almost huff of annoyance. ]

Of all these books there is nothing that really reads like Seneca.. [ A sigh, blue eyes darting here and there on the volumes in front of her before she recites - ]

Errare humanum est, sed perseverare diabolicum: 'to err is human, but to persist in the mistake is diabolical.'

The problem is I don't quite know if I've made a mistake and none of this is particularly useful in determining.

Does anyone read philosophy, here? Or have any guidance on where to find Lunatian volumes that read like Seneca?

Do they catalogue their material by subjects and genre in the libraries here? Was never really into Seneca or any of the Roman shit, but... Would be interested in reading up on what kinds of philosophies they have in this world, at least.

[You know, for science. And it'd also sate her curiosity in how the people here think, since everything has been so baffling to her since she arrived.]

Yes, they do. [ If it were done any other way she'd probably have some kind of fit about it, honestly. When things are stored or not done in a very sensible way Re-L tends to sort of have a break down over it.

Like Vincent and the hole in the sock incident. ]

Unsurprisingly, a lot of it is hedonistic.

[She scoffs, not finding that answer to be shocking at all judging by the way things are run around here.]

Figures that'd be the one shit they're into. Their other books seem to fit into that category.

...Think they'd benefit from other perspectives, honestly.

[realimperfect]

Most people do. [ Of course, she's product of reading multiple different perspective, so of course she would agree with it. ]

But I doubt that people who do little more than what they want would really want to reads the Stoics.

More than likely it would be 'boring' to them.
