" t don't want to do the bathroom routine more than necessary.  It sucks."

Nod nod.

"I have...a little less than six days of this. In theory. I think it started at...a bit before five thirty? I don't know, I thought I was just...tired or stressed out or something at first."

Permalink

"Once in a great while somebody gets a bad roll and winds up with more than seven days but yeah. The onset can be like an hour long, that's how you miss it."

Permalink

"You said you only nominally finished high school? Did you awaken while you were still in high school or did you just hate high school? Uh you don't have to answer that i it's like...private."

Permalink

"I was seventeen, fall of my senior year. It's not private at all, and I didn't hate school - if I hadn't awakened I'd be in med school right now - but it seemed kind of superfluous once I knew what I was doing with my life and it didn't involve presenting my academic credentials. So I attended some classes and passed my tests and graduated but I was pretty checked out."

Permalink

"Well I'm going to sit my exams for this term since I already paid for the privilege. After that well, I had the vague notion of writing history textbooks one day but probably if  I do dungeons I can get what I wanted out of that by throwing money at the right people. Most of the interest I have in history comes from books I read outside of school. I'd like to show kids that history isn't just about dead white men and lists of dates."

Permalink

"Most of the history I can retain is from old novels!"

Permalink

"Old novels are great for that. Also well written historical fiction, though that require more curation for accuracy."

Permalink

"Yeah, I hear approximately everything about the First Nations is bunk."

Permalink

"Historical fiction about minority groups in general is usually very bad, unless it's written by a member of that group."

Permalink

"Eh, I have no special expertise in Japanese-Canadians, I guess it'd be protective against certain brands of error but not all of them."

Permalink

"Do you speak Japanese?"

Permalink

"Nothing that doesn't appear in my favorite sushi order."

Permalink

Stiffed giggle

"I've heard it's a difficult language."

Permalink

"That's what I hear but I cannot confirm, I have French and am working on Tagalog because I can practice that with our cleaning lady and her son."

Permalink

"My high school French grades were good but it's been a while."

Permalink

"Language practice is a backlash sweet spot which is why I can now read Les Mis in the original."

Permalink

In (very accented) French "Well, I suppose I can try a little. If teaching is also good."

Permalink

"It is, but I'm not backlashed now, do you want to pull out the blanket and go flying again?"

Permalink

"Sure although if I'm going without pants on it will need to be very secure."

Permalink

"Your call about the pants, I'm not actually sure how to perfectly secure it."

Permalink

"If you close your eyes and hook your arm through my elbow or something so I have both hands free I can probably get pants on without breaking skin contact completely?"

Permalink

"If the standard is 'not breaking skin contact completely' I could put my hand on the back of your neck or something. With, yes, my eyes closed."

Permalink

"Sure that works. I could conceivably get pants on under this shirt without showing anything but...I'd rather not risk it."
