So, it wasn't just a collection of like-minded people, it was a collection of wildly differently-minded people? Well, that's almost even better, right?
Sera's description of the Cultists didn't exactly make Grace feel any closer to them. She was more a kind of techno-monk, an information-age scribe than anything else. Much more content to sit by herself in quiet focus than in a crowd. Denial wasn't exactly the word for it, Grace did what she wanted, she just didn't want much.
But a world without people like Sera? Boring.
"Really? A party, for me?" she said, and the introvert in her cringed. But hey, networking, right? Just put on a smile, and take it. It was intended to be a gift, no doubt, or just an excuse to party.
When Sera unlocked the library, Grace's face lit up, and a tiny "eeeee" noise escaped her before she could control it. Immediately, she beelined to the nearest bookshelf and started reading titles. Unfortunately (intriguingly) they all sounded quite... Odd.
Sera continued, and Grace tried paying attention to both books and voice, until a word struck her, "Wait, Technocracy? The rule of technology?"
