[Voice; Nebula 19th, evening]

[salutosinedelectat]

Good evening, fellow passengers,

I hope this message finds you well.

Foremost, you must forgive me in any mistakes I may make in sending this address to you all, as I'm certainly not used to sharing my thoughts in such a way. I'm most definitely more of a fan of the classic handwritten letter.

I was going over the upstairs library collection, so generously donated by other passengers - and you're welcome add to it yourself), when I found myself wondering about the extensive possibilities of literary works to be found in the countless worlds we not only come from, but the ones we visit.

Since there's scarcely a chance to explore such things in the worlds we stop at, wrought with conflict as they tend to be, I figured the easier option would be to simply ask:

What are your favorite literary works from your world? What are they about? Which are considered timeless classics?

I eagerly await your response.

Your curious fellow passenger,
Aziraphale


Oh, also, if anyone's interested in submitting anything to the library, I have provided clean notebooks and writing material in the far right nook in the upper floor of the library. I'm also available to provide custom book binding services.

Ah, yes. It seems like our worlds, although different, share that similarity.

Was it something you enjoyed yourself?

[wisdominshadows]

Not as a rule, though there were a few that broke the pattern. Too many maidens trapped in towers for my taste, and I could find more than enough of those in history books.

I preferred horror stories. Thankfully, my guardian knew many- her people have a morbid streak to them.

[salutosinedelectat]

Ah, I see. Are there any you'd personally reccomend?

[wisdominshadows]

I've been trying to write down a few of the oral ones, but I find I've had a difficult time catching the right tone.

As for written... The Tale of the Dead Men's Volley, perhaps. I know at least one versions was in one of the Composer Brothers' early ballad collections.

[ He nods along with interest, despite being in a voice call. ]

I see. Interesting title, if nothing else.

And tone is important. Perhaps finding inspiration in other sources might help.
