"   you know, if you don't see anything you want here, if you look up ideas on the computer i can get some books for you.   "   conrad gestures over to the single computer in the library, chunky and out of date, but still very reliable... so long as the weather was nice.   "   we have a new reciprocal agreement, with zuzu city. set it up myself. petitioned the library board and everything. we put in requests to them, and i go in on the bus once a week to bring everyone their books back here.   "

CLOSED STARTER / "   miss emery,   "   conrad rolls up to her side, late to the event dance and still smelling like cigarettes and his shower, featuring wet curls. okay, so he'd slept in   —   he does, however, come bearing gifts, with a new book in his hand about the valley itself. the more eager the intrepid newcomer, the more conrad liked to try and sell them on staying.   "   i hope you've finished the last one i gave you in preparation for our dance today. this is one of the finest traditions in the valley.   "

conrad: send REMINDED for a scene from my muse's past in which they encountered something that reminded them of a difficult experience / trauma

REMINDED: every time conrad goes to the zuzu city natural history museum, he remembers a time as a child where he and his father were at the museum and got separated. he didn't want to get in trouble by asking someone for help and sending the museum into high alert, so he looked around and around the museum for over an hour before he finally found his father, still studying the exhibits. he, too rapt by the museum, hadn't even noticed a tearful seven year old conrad was gone.
