WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Mingle!
WHERE: Somewhere in the city
WHEN: Day 3, morning

[It's a beautiful morning in this part of Coba! The sun is shining, the birds are singing - or at least they were until a few seconds ago. Suddenly, the city is plunged into darkness again, and the streets start to fill with people dressed in outrageous costumes. There's music in the air and all traffic is stopped for the parade of revellers heading down the street. Anyone from New Orleans might find the spectacle rather familiar, but for anyone else it's still an excuse to party like the night never ended]

Electronic book! You read them on devices specifically for that purpose.

[captainkink]

Oh, right. We have stuff like that, but we don't call them ebooks.

[teethteethteeth]

I guess for you it's replaced paper books and that's why you were wondering at the paper! Am I right?

[captainkink]

We don't really use paper much in the future. So it's less wonder and more wondering why paper is so painful to read from.

[teethteethteeth]

Well, there're still people that like reading paper books! Everyone's got their own preferences, I guess.

[captainkink]

That's fair. Still makes indexing a pain though.

[teethteethteeth]

Well, maybe the city'll oblige you and give you electronic books.

[captainkink]

One can hope.

[teethteethteeth]

This city does seem like a very obliging one!

[captainkink]

Yeah, a little too obliging.

Anyway, something you're looking for? Maybe I can help.

[teethteethteeth]

Oh, I'm just browsing to see what the library has. If something grabs my interest, I'll read it.

[captainkink]

I'm hoping to find records of what this place was like.

[teethteethteeth]

Oh, I hope you find out! It sounds like something interesting to know.

[captainkink]

I doubt I'd be that lucky, but it never hurts to try.

[teethteethteeth]

Well, I'll hope for the best for you. What sorts of technology do you have if you don't have paper books anymore?

[captainkink]

I'm the captain of a space ship so . . . that speaks for itself.

[teethteethteeth]

Wow! What's it like being a captain?

[captainkink]

It's the best job in the universe.

[teethteethteeth]

What does your starship do? Carry people around?

[captainkink]

That, but mostly we're here to chart unknown space.

[teethteethteeth]

Oh my, that sounds adventuresome! Have you found anything interesting?

[captainkink]

Lots of American civil war history books.

[teethteethteeth]

On your explorations?

[captainkink]

Not really. I'm from the future.

[teethteethteeth]

So, what do you find on your explorations?
