Simone’s Notes:

Human sexually has been around for ages. It has been celebrated and frowned upon. It knows no real boundaries. Nine times out of ten, it is controlled by impulse. Sexually knows no race or gender. It only knows people. It seems to be the best thing in most of the human race’s eyes. But like everything else, there is a dark side to it. Diseases, hate, unwanted bastard children, broken relationships. But still, human sexually is pursued like a desired dream.

Sheska came by the study room in the library the next morning. She had a bag full of vid discs on her arm. Dr. Howard asked her to see to the research needs of her student while she visited the library. The private lightly knocked on the door. “Simone!” she whispered loudly. “I got the discs you requested!” “Just bring them in,” the college student replied. Sheska lightly opened the door and set the bag inside. She was pale with disgust. The private had peeked into the bag on the way to the back of the library. All of the titles were on the history of sex. Sure, the college student was studying to be a sexologist, but Sheska seemed embarrassed to see the word sex written anyway. The private quickly shook her head and headed back to work.

Simone walked over to the door to get the bag. She looked inside at all of the discs. “It’s all here!” the girl thought. Then, the British girl hurried back to the desk and set the bag down on it. Simone turned on the monitor. It gave off a low hum as it started up. When the screen became light blue, the college rose to her feet and cut the lights off. She randomly drew out a disc from it and put it into the machine. “Please wait one moment.” the screen told her. Simone sat back and waited. Then, the menu screen appeared with different options. Simone read quietly to herself. “Hm…” she thought. “What do I want first? Ancient Roman sexuality? Ancient Greek sexuality? Maybe, the Eastern world? Europe?” The college girl looked on a few minutes more. She finally chose Babylonian times. The wait screen came up again as she pulled out her binder and prepared for work. The film came on and Simone began taking notes.

Outside, some of the men from the military were gathered around her door. They had been following Simone’s work very closely. They were curious about her. Why was this girl so into sex for? They just had to know. A librarian walked by them and backed up. “What’s going on here?” she asked in concern. “Shhh!!!” all of the men called. The librarian walked over to the crowd and tried to listen in. Everyone was aroused by every detail given on the documentary. This was always the best part of the day. Many of those men never knew that Amestris even had a library. Now, they were glad it did! Who knew a trip to the library could be so fun?

When they heard her get up her from her desk, the crowd scattered quickly to look suspicious. Simone stepped out of the room and looked around. Everyone was “working” harder than usual. “Strange…” she thought. “There seems to be more and more men here everyday.” The college girl began to wonder why. Then, she shrugged it off, put the reserve tag on the door, and went out to lunch.

The rest of the day was just like that. More and more men were listening close to the door about the documentary. They made themselves look busy every time she went out to eat, get more research material, or use the bathroom. The college girl just couldn’t know what they were during, otherwise she would do her work some place else. They just couldn’t have that. It was all like watching a soap opera; it was that addictive. When Simone was done the day, she put the bag of vid discs on the counter. “You’re done already?” the main librarian asked in shock. “For today at least.” Simone answered. “I’ll be back tomorrow.” The main librarian sighed in relief. “Speaking of which,” the college girl spoke up. “Has there been anyone ease-dropping on me while I do my research?” The librarian quickly shook her head. “No, no!” she said in a rush. “Why would you suspect that?” Simone just shrugged. “I don’t know,” she replied. “I just keep noticing that more and more men are coming here lately.” “Oh don’t worry,” the librarian called out. “Just come in and out as they please, just like everywhere else.” The English girl thought about that for a moment. Then she said, “I guess you’re right. Good night.” “See you tomorrow!” the librarian called back. Then, Simone walked out of the library. The librarian sighed in relief. “That was close.” she thought. Then, everyone went back to work as usual.
