//------------------------------// // 9/25/15-Moon 3064, Day 3 // Story: Letters From a Friend // by moviemaster8510 //------------------------------// Twilight, I forgot to ask. How are those books going for you and Spike? Wow, that was quicker than I expected. Guessing you had quite an appetite. A little. So tell me, how's your reading going? Yes, and I'm glad you asked me. I should hopefully be finished with those books you gave me by the end of the weekend. I know I've been holding off on those other books you got me so looking forward to reading, so if you want to go and send me those whenever you want, I'll probably get started on them right away. Actually, Spike wants to write too. Hey, Toby! What's going on, man? Enjoying this new book? Oh, yeah! This one's a lot more fun, no offense. I actually finished it a couple of days ago, but I didn't think about asking for any new books. I knew you were going to the library too, so I should have asked. I'm sorry. Not a problem. As you may have seen, Twilight's asking me to send her some more books, so I can see what I have in my own collection and give you something I think you'll enjoy. Cool, thanks a lot, Toby! I think I'll let you get back to talking to Twilight. Sounds good. Have a good night if I don't hear from you again. See ya! So, what did you have in mind? Toby? Sorry, I was looking through my bookshelves. I want to be sure I didn't store my Dark Tower series somewhere else, but I also wanted to check on finding something for Spike if I have something. I mean, the library doesn't close for another couple hours yet. I could always run bac Toby, no, that's not necessary. With movie night presumably tomorrow, I'm sure he'll have enough to look forward to. Actually, I did find something for Spike. I know he said he didn't like Princess of Mars' prose, but maybe he'll enjoy this. I know magic exists on your world, but does fantasy still exist as a genre, or how does that work? And how have I not asked you this yet? To answer your question, while many things on our world are things you and other humans consider fantastical, Equestria has its own array of fantasies as well. As a matter of fact, Spike has a great fondness of this fantasy role-playing board game called Ogres and Oubliettes, and has regular meet-ups with a couple of friends of his to play. Ogres and Oubliettes? Sounds close enough like Dungeons and Dragons to me for me to understand. In that case, I think Spike will adore this book. If he does indeed like it, I should have the next three books in the series somewhere around here to give to him. In any case, I've got the Dark Tower series all stacked up and ready to send. I may have to send the books off in intervals, as I don't think there's any way for me to fit them in the mailbox at once. Actually, Toby, before you do that, I think this would be a great opportunity to test and show you my flat-storage spell before your Blu-Ray player comes. Do you have a box that all of those books can fit in? That's not a not a bad idea, actually. Hold on, I may have to go look for one. No worries. I have to prepare it myself on my end. So while you go and look for a box, I'll get that spell squared away. Alright? Sounds fine with me. Be right back. Same.
