[video] look at my life, look at my choices. *weeps*

Oh man, guys, I never thought I'd be saying this, but the library's got the greatest stuff!

I know how it looks, but this book-- [he holds up this book] --is really great. It's got this action hero traveling through time and taking on all these adventures, and he falls in love with this woman, even though he knows it can't last! And they're both keeping secrets from each other, trying not to hurt each other but they're really just making it worse in the long run. Just listen to it:

[He opens the book to a random page and reads.]
"She walked across the room and picked up her towel, still wet with shower water. “Torolf,” she said softly, “there’s something I have to tell you…”
But her bed was empty.
Torolf was gone, escaped out the bedroom window. In the distance, Hilda heard the fading sound of galloping abs."

See?

[Wait, no, he's getting too excited. That's seriously uncool. He puts on a grumpier face, to make it look like he's not actually that interested.]

...It's way more exciting than anything going on around here, anyway.

((OOC: 1% on El Amor De La Pasion Del Amor, and his love of shitty Spanish soap operas and trashy romance.))

Can abs actually gallop?

....

I actually don't know. I didn't really notice that until you pointed out.

Well, I don't have a whole lot of abs experience. I'm not exactly sporting a six pack.

"'Galloping... abs?' That has got to be a misprint."

Maybe. I'm not so sure, though...

[It sure sounds like it fits in with the rest of the writing.]

"... I can't help but wonder what sort of a sound they'd make."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So you're saying he's built like a horse?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I guess so. I don't know what else it could mean, so...sure!

This sounds like a masterpiece for the ages.

At least someone else recognizes it!

Dude, that sounds like one of my mom's telenovelas.

...what's wrong with telenovelas?

It'd be quicker to list what isn't wrong with them.

That certainly is, uh... nuanced, Rex.

I'm glad someone else noticed around here.

You know, just out of curiosity, you ever try something... [that you didn't have to shoulder an old lady out of the way for] ...something from another part of the library?
