Um, hi everyone, am I- am I doing this right?

[Noah is still learning selfies and how to use the forward facing camera, so he's not exactly centered in the frame, but he's trying, cheek bruised and hair the very definition of bedhead.]

So, did - um. So I woke up okay, uh, and I found this?

[He holds up a book, Oh, The Places You'll Go! by one Dr Seuss.]

I didn't bring this with me. I - um, it's kinda funny, I haven't actually thought about it in... gosh, years? It was one of the books I had as a kid. I dunno, it never meant much before but reading it now...

[He pages through it, pausing at a few places and smiling a little before looking back up to the camera.]

Um, I'm pretty sure none of my friends had it either so... any ideas? Did someone lose a book? Uh, yeah. That's. That's it.

You did?

[Noah on the other hand is pretty happy - if it was just him, maybe it's a little creepy, but if it's an across the board thing that's less creepy.

Somehow.]

Do you think it's like... an apology for the stuff from like... last week? What'd you get?

[unitas]

If it's an apology, they can choke on it. [ she would be more than happy to provide them with assistance, even. ]

...And I got The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll. [ her mother had often read to her before bed, and Sharon's favorite had always been the poem Jabberwocky; there was something about it's nonsensical words that always managed to get her to giggle as a child (frabjous was her favorite). ] It'd be a thoughtful gift if I didn't think it came from an asshole.

[casperdisaster]

Lewis Carroll? Oh! That's the- the guy that did Alice in Wonderland, isn't it?

[unitas]

...Yep, that's him. [ a beat, and then: ] Do you want it?

[ because she's not keeping it. ]

[casperdisaster]

Are you sure you don't want it?

[Even if it was from creepy assholes that run the place, Noah isn't the 'look a gift horse in the mouth' type.]

[unitas]

Positive. [ she's got the most important part of the book memorized, in any case. ] I don't need it.

[casperdisaster]

I can give it a good home, then, if you're sure. But like... let me know if you change your mind, okay?

[unitas]

I won't want it back, all right. So, you could burn it, or use it as ass wipe for all I care.

[casperdisaster]

Uh.

I don't think I would do that to a book.

[unitas]

I'm just saying you could, not that you would or even should. [ noah, ur precious ]
