If It's Not Baroque, Don't Fix It

I was here with Melena yesterday… do you want to try a game? Or are you in the mood for a snack?

I think so, I could eat. Maybe we could get something to it and then take a look a what games they have.

"True, but it also means a couple of job openings, which is always good. For the citizens, not for the crown, but you know that’s taxpayers money put to good use…"

"That's a fair point, as long as someone is doing it. I would be more concerned if it did just get left out after." 

Oh that’s easy then… I mean you can certainly find something around here to have a good time!

I would love some.

"I’m not exactly a fan of big open spaces with crowds… but the garbage issue is very important and I’ve never noticed it before, or more like it didn’t really hit me…"

"And I'm sure no one has thought that somebody is going to have to clean all this up at some point, lest we want it blowing through town the next few years."

There are tons of fun things to do Mr. Carter…

"So, I see i'm not the only one..."

"It's chaotic and there's garbage everywhere. People seem to have just forgotten to clean up after themselves. And it'll all still be here when the carnival leaves."

"I always wanted to be a doctor, and was in medical school for a time. But then my parents were in a terrible car accident and passed, so I had to take over the club."

"Oh my, I am so sorry. That must have been terrible. Do you at least like managing the club?"

"Nice to meet you Carter."

"Well, it's interesting. Although I guess you wouldn't agree." 

"Well, I’m more of a more of a Steinbeck sort of guy, myself. Hadn’t thought to try it, to be honest. It’s good though. Really picks up about halfway through."

"Georgian and Victorian literature is contains some of my favorite novels. I could suggest a few if you want more in a similar style."

 ”It’s a topic that’s been on my mind for a while.” Pete smiled at the man. “Sorry, that’s probably not something you’d want to listen to me ramble about.”

"Not at all. I think it's an interesting perspective. People do tend to look down on people who are different, and it's really a shame."

"What do you mean you don’t really dance? Everybody dances, it’s like we were born to move freely and with joy. You’ve had to at least tried it." Melena said as she began to move along to the beat of the music. 

"I don’t have a place for other people’s books, Carter. You’re too… careful to lend yours to me, and Lumen… The only "reading material" he has is not stuff I would like to borrow."

"I suppose that is a decent reason."

Brian sighed, pushing down the annoyance that began to rise up his throat. “I probably should have, but I thought that if I put it on the shelf, I’d forget it wasn’t mine.”

"You could have at least designated some other place."

It’s not one of mine, Carter! Belle lent it to me, I don’t think I put it on my shelf since it’s not mine….

"Shouldn't have you taken more care with where you put it if it's not yours?"
