[Justine still is pretty disoriented by the video function, so she tends to stick to audio when making public posts, like right now.]
As predicted, my transition into this new time is rocky at best. Is there anyone in Goldenrod kind enough to escort me through the shops and explain the various novelties invented within the last century and a half or so? I would be most grateful for the gesture.
Ah, and if possible, does anyone know where I might find books that are not dedicated to the animals here? I would quite like to catch up on literature. [And also designs for modern technology, but she's not saying that.
For someone else from the 1800's, this is pretty clearly a flirt, and simply expected of a woman. She's showing off vulnerability that she's actually capable of handling herself in order to play into the role she is used to being in.
Although the act isn't quite perfect. She doesn't sound like she's completely in over her head, and she forgot to throw something in there implying that she's just not smart enough to deal with all the books on animals, but that's just because the people of her time fill in those blanks themselves.]

But whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battle's van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for man.
Or so said a man long ago in 1844. I can't help but think he's optimistic if he thinks people will even try to die in their 'fittest place'. Of course you hear stories of brave men taking a bullet for a comrade in battle, but they become stories because of how rare it is. I don't think I've met anyone who would sacrifice themselves for another.
Would you?
