Has anyone as of yet read anything of worth from the Lunar Scientia? Since the vine issue seemed to take up most of our precious time, I have only been able to thumb through a few things regarding the city and its culture. I would honestly take any suggestions.

Except for any contemporary fiction. I've lost all faith in any present literature after having to see with my own two eyes award-winning titles such as: "A Knot To Remember", "Much Ado About Yiffing", and "My Lover, the Sanguis with the Big Chest".

Perhaps. If you promise to never use the words "butter" "people" and "muffins" in conjunction ever again.

Fair.

Then what should bring the masses into a turgid, yearning maelstrom?

[superbia]

[well, at least that turn of phrase invoked a more colorful picture in his mind.]

Deep introspection. The limits of their imagination. Anything besides being spoon-fed the same nauseating tropes.

Well. Obviously everyone wants something stimulating, get the juices flowing. But everyone wants a little 'junk food' sometimes.

For instance: What do you like to do for fun? And don't you dare tell me you don't have fun.

[superbia]

[oh. fun. he had fun once. 20 years later, he discovered he got a kid out of it. fun was awful.]

I read. I kill [demons] monsters. I fight my brother.

[so basically, vergil wouldn't know fun if it slithered right up his tight ass.]

[If a fixer-upper was a person, this was that person. Also, dude, wrap it before you tap it.]

Okay. Perhaps you trash-talk a monster about how terrible they are. Maybe you trash-talk your brother about how terrible he is in his strategy.

It's the same principle: Unnecessary, superfluous things we do to add a little cherry on top. Stops the burnout.

Though I get the feeling you may have experienced emotional burnout and just haven't caught on to it yet. You poor thing.
