(1109) Idun, Rose Hearst

[DrDog]

A new person, dropping a hint? In this place? Rose doesn't need to be a genius to put two and two and come out with 'I'm surrounded.'

"Indeed, a fresh perspective is often appreciated. Rose Hearst, though please, call me Rose. And no, its not a Veiled reference to Shakespeare" Rose grins as he extends a hand to Raum, even as he shakes his head at his joke.

[Sirith]

"Is that so?"

Interesting reference, telling a lot about this man - or maybe telling nothing - and calling for even more questions, especially with this surname. Raum is getting even more interested, yet he doesn't let himself to show that. Instead, he smiles and shakes hands with Rose.

"I guess you get tired of questions then and you're not an enthusiast of Shakespeare. Neither am I. I'm too much of cloak-and-dagger novels fan, like Dumas. By the way, call me Raum."

[Yog-Sothoth]

Aurum shrugged to herself and sat down and didn't hold anything against being overlooked. It happened to her more than she'd care to admit. After sitting down with the others she placed her book on the table which read Principles of Geotechnical Engineering. She then turned to Raum.

"Hey, as I told Rose here my name's Aurum. I don't mind Shakespeare he's always good for a tragedy and there has always been a dark humor involving death," she paused for a moment and then quickly added, "well for me at least."

[Idun]

"I'm Idun. Nice to met you Aurum, Raum." Idun says to the two newcomers.

"I don't particularly like Hamlet as they drag out the final death scene too much." Idun states, tossing out her two cents on the topic concerning Shakespeare.

[DrDog]

"Quite true Raum. I'm generally more of a question asker than answerer. Dumas is a fine choice, though I prefer Le Carre." And if we're both playing the same game that I think we are playing, I'm on your team. "With how popular this place is, I wonder, are there any book clubs?"

[Sirith]

Looks at Aurum as she speaks and gives her a smile.

"Of all Shakespeare works, I prefer 'historical' ones, especially Henry V and Richard III. Lots of action, dark humor, killing and good readers can easier catch whatever bullshit there is. And Shakespeare puts a lot of bullshit." He turns to Idun. "So what do you like?

Raum drinks his coffee, relaxed and confident. Damn, I could talk like that forever. Good to know there's another one in the team. And he seems to be competent.

"Le Carre is good choice, indeed. I still need to read some. About book clubs, from what I've seen so far, the're at least one. I wanted to join one, but maybe I'll make one on my own. I'm looking now for people with common interests."

The man sometimes looks away as the newcomers enter the store. Seems like he likes to control his environment. But nevertheless, he's relaxed and content, his attitude screams of tranquility.

[Idun]

"I do believe I always enjoyed A Midsummer's Night Dream. I found it to be rather humorous." Idun answers Raum. "I can't say I'm all that interested in literature, but I do enjoy a few certain genre." She says, her index finger of her left hand had found itself upon her chin as she thinks of her favorite books.

[Yog-Sothoth]

Aurum nods in agreement at Raum's Shakespeare assessment finding that she shares a lot of his view. "I agree, I find myself favoring much the same. I did enjoy Julius Cesar. The build up and then the ultimate betrayal by his closest friend was great."

Shrugging to herself at the continued conversation between Rose and Raum couldn't help but speak up despite her effort not to.

"For me, cloak and dagger novels tend to be pretentious and short sighted, spending too much time in petty schemes to see the bigger picture or other points of view. I suppose that isn't true with all of them, but regardless I prefer the factual accounts of history carefully researched and preserved for future use."

[DrDog]

"Well, if you want to make a book club, let me know. Books are more fun when you can discuss them with others." Rose smiles at Raum.

"Idun, Whimsey suits you I think. Have you read any good biographies?" he asks her, before turning over to Aurum.
Well. I see someone doesn't like us. Big surprise.

"I'm not so sure Aurum. For history books, I have yet to read one that didn't spin things one way or another. History is as malleable as the future, just look at wikipedia."
