IC Perspective: James T. Kirk (4th going on 5th year)
Character: Jim Kirk
Mun: Sloan
Plot specific: Nada
I hear this place doesn't allow any technology. Seriously? Come on guys, catch up with the times. Somethings are better left outside (I'm looking at you internet) but phones? TVs? It's great that this place is all old fashion and tradition, but you're not ending history by adapting to the future. The dark ages ended with Edison.
On that note, I can bring some modern Muggle literature with me, right? Not going to set off some "not magic related" alarm and get wanded by the anti-modern-innovation police?

What's it to you what books I bring anyway? I like to read, probably grab a random bag full of books I haven't read yet and call it good.
no subject
Well generally I call it curiosity, to see if you have you know, good taste in books. But hey, that works.
no subject
So what do you consider good taste in books?
no subject
Vern, Asimov, Clarke, Mary Shelly. And I have every available issue of The Rocketeer. So there's some good taste in reading right there.
no subject
Rocketeer? Huh, never read it. The rest I've covered, Vern is a favorite for sure. Carroll, Fitzgerald, Barrie, Hemingway, Le Guin, Adams, Brooks are there for me too.
no subject
It's a comic series, about, funnily enough a rocket man. You have some pretty deep tastes there, almost a surprise, almost.
no subject
Rocketeer is about a rocket man, shock and surprise. And only an almost?
no subject
Yeah, almost. I mean really, all it means is you can read, and at least vaguely comprehend them. That and the fact that I don't know you, means I have no real reason to be truly surprised and potentially impressed.
