Bonjour, everyone.

This post will be much more light-hearted than my last one. While looking for things to keep me occupied during Sanguis so as to not disturb others, I happened across this book in the “digital library.”




It’s a gripping tale of a Prismal girl and her horse seeking freedom in a world that would hope to suppress them. I don’t want to spoil it, but I did notice that it seems to be a part of a series. If anyone knows where I might find physical copies of the rest of them, please let me know.

Incidentally, it has inspired me to ride again. Where can I find a stable? Or horses, for that matter? I was in the equestrian club in school, so I assure you I am no amateur.

Bien cordialement,

Serge

[Seeing French on the network? Well, that's a first.]

Bonsoir.

I'm not sure about the books, but you might check the Greatmoon Groves on level two. It seems to be the agricultural center of the city.

Lovely song, by the way.

Ah, merci! It didn’t occur to me to look beyond the gardens.

And forgive me, but, song?

[Clearly Spy needs to read more.]

La Vie En Rose.

Unless you're not familiar with it. If that's the case, I'd recommend you give it a listen.

I don’t know it at all!

[ his shame, as a frenchman. he can’t be blamed. ]

But I’m not sure how I might access it here in this world.

I will have to check if Bird Box music is universal; I know I've certainly requested that song.

Otherwise, I think I could try recording it myself. Give me a moment.

[After a couple of minutes, he attaches an audio file.]

Let me know if that worked.

[ it’s not like anything serge has ever heard before, but now that he has, it’s nothing short of life-changing. ]

This is beautiful.

[ he doesn’t really know how to convey himself in text—he really finds it beautiful, especially considering all that’s going on in his personal life at any given moment. ]

Monsieur, thank you. I feel as if my life has been enriched for the chance of hearing this!

That is a common reaction to hearing her voice for the first time.

I take it she is after your time?

I assume she must be. Music has changed quite a lot.

[ even the music he hears here in this place is not… familiar… to him. ]
