[JUST A FUNKY LAD... VIBIN. Unfortunately Mahito genuinely enjoys discussing plays, books, movies and the like, so he's still perked up like an interested dog.]
Ah! Yeah, that makes sense. [He doesn't even mean it in a rude way... God bless.] What's your favorite? I haven't read all of his works, but I've read most of them and seen a few.
Mahito unfortunately understands this concept too though, from the perspective of "he knows that humans create stories to better understand themselves". The reverse makes sense, too; finding bits of familiarity in the things you consume.]
Ah... I see! I get it. Eh - well, I get it in theory. That's never happened to me before, but I know people really like things they can connect with.
[Mahito apparently does not plan on asking, at least not at the moment.]
Yeah, I get it! Like Cast Away! [WHY. Anyway, he moves from that incredibly stupid observation to saying, somewhat wistfully:] I wish I could read or watch something that I could connect with. Is it fun? What does it feel like when it happens?

Oh! I've read this one before.
[With a title like Les Miserables, is that really surprising...]
I've seen the play a couple of times, too! And the movie back when it came out.
no subject
I haven't bothered with the film, though the play isn't a terrible retelling.
no subject
Huh... I thought the film was pretty good! Javert made a really funny sound when he hit the dam after his last scene.
[THANKS AGAIN MAHITO FOR THIS VALUABLE INSIGHT AS ALWAYS.]
But I like the play more, mm.
no subject
Perhaps I'll review it on my own another time then. Plays are always an interesting medium.
no subject
They are! Hey, do you have a favorite play, then?
no subject
...I've a fondness for Shakespeare.
no subject
Ah! Yeah, that makes sense. [He doesn't even mean it in a rude way... God bless.] What's your favorite? I haven't read all of his works, but I've read most of them and seen a few.
no subject
Hamlet, I think. Or perhaps The Tempest.
[these are two very wildly different answers.]
no subject
Huh... What's your favorite part about each one?
no subject
In a sense, I believe I relate to both in two different ways. And in those ways, I feel as though I understand the tale itself.
[which is just a fancy-ass way of saying "both stories have things that are relevant to me but on different levels, so i understand them better."]

no subject
but they seem to stick with that and don't plan to elaborate unless mahito asks, so they accept this answer.]
It isn't always easy to connect to such things. Some people find it easier than others, but sometimes a story is really just a story.
no subject
Yeah, I get it! Like Cast Away! [WHY. Anyway, he moves from that incredibly stupid observation to saying, somewhat wistfully:] I wish I could read or watch something that I could connect with. Is it fun? What does it feel like when it happens?
no subject
...it depends on how you connect with it, if it's in a good way or a bad way. Just like anything else, I think.
no subject
Huh... How do you connect to those two? In a good or bad way?
no subject
no subject
[Considering the types of stories both are... But! He'll adjust the books in his hold, reaching out to give Maus a last little pat.]
--Anyway! I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing. [What were they even doing, god, he got so distracted by the dog.] Thanks for the books.
no subject
...of course. Enjoy them. [good...goodbye? goodbye.]
