Hello, this is Kaneki. [ he is always going to introduce himself and say who he is because he never did social media before. kaneki is awkward like that ] I hope everyone is alright after what happened.

I have been realizing that despite me coming from a version of Earth, my version is different. All Earths are very different from each other. Did your Earth have another sentient species besides humans? I wonder if that's an exception or the norm.


On an unrelated note, I had the idea of sharing stories. Since there are no written books in this place, we could sit down and tell each other stories we know, or even stories we make up. Like... a book club, but instead it's a story club.


There would be snacks, of course. I can bring and make coffee.

A few of us now assist the owner of "The Bookstore" by recording stories in order to create small books. Anyone is invited to contribute, however, and customers can also trade stories of their own in exchange for the existing selection.

If you and the members of your club agree to it, we could note down future stories to preserve them as bound books.

[anthropophagite]

I didn't know that was something that existed in this place. Do you have many books already?

I wouldn't mind it. I do plan on keeping records of the stories, it sounds like fun and it'd be a way to entertain ourselves as well.

The Bookstore was established only recently. Consequently, our current collection largely consists of our own contributions. Yours would certainly be appreciated.

[anthropophagite]

Of course, if you'd like to hear them, I don't mind sharing. Although many people say the stories I like are too confusing.

[wordchain]

What makes them confusing?

[anthropophagite]

I suppose it could be the structure some stories are written or even the themes.

Not everyone enjoys the same kind of stories, after all, and people often push away from what they don't like.

[wordchain]

That is true. Nevertheless, these stories exist because they had a source, and while I am only one person, I'd like to hear them.

[anthropophagite]

Yes, of course. If you wish to hear them, I will try my best to retell them.

[ get ready to hear about Kafka ]

[wordchain]

I will wait for further details of the confirmed time and venue, then.

[ And for Kafka... ]
