An hour after the start of the Jaunt, asking important questions

[naturaltwohands]

... I suspect these questions may be on the minds of others, and it is on mine because it obvious differs much from the one of my childhood:

What is it like to attend a school? What should we know about it? What is expected of us? Are our studies canceled right now?

It's not like our grades are going to count...

[Private]

Oh, believe me, if someone actually killed you then they'd have more than just you coming back to worry about.

[... Casper that tone is distinctly Not Okay.]

[naturaltwohands]

To you, they do not. But I cannot just... let myself fail.

[Oh no, he's a perfectionist.]

[Private]

Easy, Casper. [There's some amusement.] I will not die so quickly. I have yet to even have my life threatened here.

[Other than in Daneel's dungeon, hilariously enough. But Daneel's dungeon protected him.]

[helborn]

Drizzt, come on. We have to figure out what's going on, we don't have time for homework.

[Private]

Good. If you die I'm gonna punch your ghost.

[naturaltwohands]

I have enough time to do both, I suspect.

[Private]

... that would be a bit rude.

[Private]

[helborn]

Yeah, it would be. So don't die on me.

[Private]

[naturaltwohands]

I will do my best not to; I've been alive for nearly seven decades, and I fully intend to keep on living.
