[Right. Remus wrinkles his nose, looking slightly put out, as he regards the camera.]

I, er, happened to get some particular novels for Christmas that I don't want. If anyone's interested, by all means, they're free. Er-- they're, ah, romance novels.

[Quite graphic ones, too.]

Of the, um, supernatural variety. So. Help yourselves! I'm over in Thor's district now; we're the house with all the red paint.

Woof.

Don't be crude.

It's part of my charm. It will grow on you.

Who gave you beastiality books?

private text

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's not bestiality, and this island did.

[Unfortunately Remus can't hear the original reaction of Barty actually laughing out loud. Touché, Asgard, touché.]

It is a thoughtful place, don't you think?

It seems to have the same idiotic sense of humor you do-- speaking of which, you can keep your stupid gifts to yourself next Christmas.

[liquidsky]

I'd show less idiotic facets of my humor, but I don't think you'd appreciate those more.

Fair enough though. What should I do with your Lunar New Year's gift?

[ okay so they're in the same house but whatever ]

Oi! You got books for Christmas and I haven't I seen them yet?

[ is he holding out on her? stashing away secret books! also yes she's 100% just busting his chops. as usually. ]

Supernatural romance sounds absolutely enticing, a must-read. I'm sure I don't see why you feel the need to give them away.

Flush them down the toilet.

I'm sorry, Lily, should I have given them to you? I wasn't aware James was so unsatisfying that you wanted them.

And people think I'm the sadist.

[ that makes her laugh before she can say her retort, mostly because there's a definite chance that James is sitting in the same room as her so there's nnnno way he missed that. she starts nodding as she manages to lock up the laughter ]

Oh, well yes, I mean. If we're being so frank here, we could use all the help we can get.

You're an idiot, and unless you want to have a book, you can bugger off.

Oh, dear. Poor, poor Jamie. Perhaps he can take lessons from Sirius?

[oceanborne]

Is the supernatural a bad thing?

[theshabbiestofmen]

I'm not very fond of it, to be honest.

You have very little patience. Odd, that, considering.

I'd love a book. Romance is my genre.

[fourteenthlight]

You should be happy to have gotten anything it all. It means someone thought of you, right?

private text

[theshabbiestofmen]

Sorry, considering what?

[theshabbiestofmen]

Ah, no, these aren't gifts from people! It was, er, a gift from the island. So.

private text

[liquidsky]

Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.

What are the titles of the books?

private text

[theshabbiestofmen]

We're not having this conversation.

[fourteenthlight]

No matter how you get it means that someone or something thought it would fit for you.

[oceanborne]

I've never heard of it.

[not in so many terms, anyway. there's folktales and legends aplenty in her home district, but Annie's a stranger to this "genre fiction" thing. and to the part where it's maybe not all fictional.]

How do you expect to get people taking your books if you can't even advertise them properly?
