Random minor things that appeal to you
Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2013 5:19 pm
Which random details of the KS universe seem particularly appealing to you?
I don't mean what you liked best from a literary perspective. It's not so much about parts of KS that you enjoyed reading. And I don't mean the central elements like your relationship with the girls or anything too closely connected to that either. Are there any random things or locations, especially from the 'background', that you would love to have or do? I am not thinking of you hypothetically entering that world but having a reasonable real world equivalent.
Would you want to have a tea house like the Shanghai nearby? Would you like to find an unused room and claim it for tea breaks? Have a curry bread picnic? Your own stuffed cat?
For me it's a studio like the one Rin uses. I am not sure I can explain why properly. In the story the studio does not exactly have the most positive associations. I don't have any recognizable talent in any art, so I am not even sure what I would need it for. However the idea of having a having a place like that really appeals to me. That it is rather spartan and inconvenient as living quarters only adds to the appeal. For some reason I have always enjoyed crashing in random places and living a very improvised life for a while. That could be the first night after moving sleeping on the floor between unopened boxes or the time when I spent several days at a student conference sleeping on the floor of an abandoned rectory. I hate camping though.
What about you?
