Dear Alphys,

[ She would 100% be addressing her as 'Dr. Alphys' if she had even the slightest idea that that was an option. ]

This is Lucretia, from the hot springs. [ it's fine it's not weird ] Lup mentioned that you were involved with some research at the library before it was destroyed. I was wondering if there was any possibility that some of the books might have survived, or if any progress was made in translating them.

Can you help? Or direct me to someone who can?

Thank you,

Lucretia

P.S. I hope you're staying warm.

oh hi!!! =^o^=

[Sorry Lucretia. This may be hard to parse.]

ummmm truthfully a lot of those books werent worth saving

[ Oh dear. She recognizes most of those words, but definitely not all of them. Is that...code? A different language? Is "=^o^=" her name in Monster?

Probably, right? ]

Thank you, Alphys.

It sounds like it may be a dead end, but those are some good leads. I'll be sure to ask around.

[It's a good thing Lucretia can't actually see Alphys right now, because it was basically the cartoon gag of an arrow striking her heart with that emoji usage as she lies down on the floor. Oh my god. She is going to die.]

of course!!
good luck
honestly im not sure the library ever had anything like....... that were real books??
i dont know if the gods actually know what books are lol
someone asked them for a movie once and it was
boyyyy it was SOMETHIN LOLLLLL

one of my old friends wrote a book once but
they havent been here in a while
im not sure if its still around
i can look in the lab!!! =^w^=

[madamdirector]

[ She's getting it. One day, she'll have to ask Alphys to teach her the language properly, but at least she's got their names down. It's a start. ]

That would be wonderful, =^w^=. If you get a chance to look, I'd love to see anything you can find.

Thank you very much for all your help.
