(no subject)

[embersandashes]

Lisa's convinced me to take a summer course at a local college. She still hasn't given up hope that I'll quit the Vatican and become a typical, productive member of her Earth's society.

I'll admit that I have some passing interest in the universities here-- I could never go back and attend one in the Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom, even if I wanted to-- but I don't think she understands that I'm never going to be typical.

That sounds like it will be very interesting. What subject do you think you will take?

[embersandashes]

It's a history course.

[heavenlyhome]

That does sound very nice. I hope you enjoy yourself, your majesty.

[embersandashes]

It's about war, so "nice" isn't the right word for it.

[as much as she likes a good war, she's well aware of how nice they aren't]

[heavenlyhome]

One of the American wars? It will be interesting, I am sure, if not nice.

Who says you can't do both Zuzu?

[embersandashes]

... Zuzu.

[touchofgenius]

Yeah, Zuzu, that's your new nickname.

[embersandashes]

You probably don't know how ironic that is.

[touchofgenius]

You want to tell me by any chance? Because I'm all ears.

[material_guy]

Vaticans and churches are big on the studying thing, right? Priests and nuns and all those usually double as teachers and all... How would taking a course pull you off that track?

[embersandashes]

It doesn't have to, but she hopes I'll decide to leave and attend school full-time.

[material_guy]

It's not good to be tied down to somethin'. Guess it's an option.

[embersandashes]

I don't consider myself tied down.

[material_guy]

Of course not. Yer doin' both.

[lovethisworld]

What are you studying?

[embersandashes]

History. Earth's first worldwide war.

[lovethisworld]

That is interesting. I believe my earth had a similar war or perhaps the same. It was a distant memory even when I was a child.

[embersandashes]

They've apparently had two so far.

[lovethisworld]

Do you have any interest in studying the second one next?

[timey_wimey]

What sort of course?

[embersandashes]

History.

[timey_wimey]

Nice choice, I've always liked a bit of history. Not that I'm biased or anything, of course.

[embersandashes]

I'd imagine so. You've probably attended some of the historical events I'll be studying.

[timey_wimey]

Oh, it wouldn't surprise me. What parts of history are you studying exactly?
