Also, I wanna ask, what most fascinates you about the medieval era? It's an open-ended question. I might be able to help a little.

I love how simultaneously isolated and connected everything was in the Middle Ages. There was very little communication, but ideas could spread across the entire world. I love the complex social structure and the dicotomy of a society built on peace and love with the reality that they're just a bunch of brutal savages. Plus many other reasons.

Sorry for the late reply, I was a little busy.

Well, the Medieval Ages sound like society today. We are isolated in our homes but connected through the internet. We produce memes that take little effort to make but they can spread through the entire world. Our social structure is so complex that it often gives me headaches (just kidding, it just frustrates me). And our society is built on peace and love but in reality we are just a bunch of brutal savages, aren't we?

Is there anything specific about the medieval ages you'd like to explore?

This is true. Humanity hasn't really changed much since the Middle Ages, in all honesty.

Hmmm...not that I can think of at the moment. Granted, I am absolutely exhausted at the moment, so it's probably that.

Since the Medieval Ages and society today are so similar, is there an interest you have in today's world that may be the equivalent of one in the Medieval Ages?

Hah, sorry for troubling you while you're so exhausted. I just wanted to engage in small talk and see where it would lead. I thought it might help if I break the ice a little. We aren't just writers, we're people after all.

I'm so obsessed with the Middle Ages mainly because they sort of help me forget how terrible things are now, hehe.

I'll head in, so I don't hate myself when I wake up

Oh, but there were terrible times in the Middle Ages. But knowing that times were terrible back then and knowing how people responded to them is comforting.

Does this mean you're leaving? Catch you again later, Rusty.

Agreed.

Yeah. I should be around tomorrow!

Maybe later this week. Talking to people too often and in too short span a time distracts my focus.

Goodbye.

I've hand-peeled logs for a cabin, I wish we had an axe like that guy to square them off.

Well, I'm bored, so I hope you don't mind small talk.

What kinds of shows do you watch? I like to watch the World Masterpiece Series of anime. And I love Combat, an old WW2 show made in the 1960's.

It's cool! Currently I'm watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and Haikyuu! with my girlfriend. I have a lot of interests, and it honestly depends on my mood. Sometimes I like dark, moody fantasy, other times I like more light hearted romps.

I used to watch those kinds of shows, but I've changed. There's something that old school shows have that are missing in today's shows. I'd like to invite you to watch one such show sometime, I can post it here if you'd like. I have everything, from childishly light to just right to something heavy for the heart.

That would be great! I watch pretty much anything, at the moment.

All right, you can choose any of the episodes of Combat.
