[needsahandjob]

[it is a terrible morning in camp, the rain is coming down torrentially (and sideways, thanks to the wind) and your character just got a note saying that they have homework to do. OR ELSE

[Enjoy the fuck out of this history paper, that's what.

...I'm not weird. Really.]

[justwannahave]

[Is not judging your enjoyment. Really.]

A fan of European history?

[sharpasafawkes]

History in general, but I've got a soft spot for Europe.

[Patting a tome in front of him. Oh he's going to tear into that any minute now.]

[justwannahave]

Good for you--I already know some French, so I'm finding translating "My aunt's pen is on the table" a little unnecessary.

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh you're lucky there, I'm absolutely rubbish with French, or most other languages for that matter.

[justwannahave]

And yet you like European history. You sound British too.

[sharpasafawkes]

Can't deny that. I should really start trying to pick something up, but until now it never really was a major concern. Usually I could find a few different translations of the source materials.

[justwannahave]

Ever visited other countries to study it in depth?

[sharpasafawkes]

Actually right before I got here I was in Italy. Nice place, aside from the connection issues.

[justwannahave]

Italy is beautiful. And is incidentally also home to Prada and Ferragamo.

[sharpasafawkes]

Never saw much of the fashion side, in hindsight I should've taken in more of the modern parts as well.

[justwannahave]

Or how they put the old together with the new. Like how some shops are in historically restored buildings and the elevator on the roof of the Vatican.

[sharpasafawkes]

-Or how they can have a state-of-the-art building, and the elevator's from the thirties. Not that I've been stuck in one, oh no...

[Gosh there are a lot of meandering academics here in Camp.]

I always thought it was because the Church is rich. Very rich.

[sharpasafawkes]

That too, funny how having that much power at one time can do that.

[justwannahave]

I thought that's what happens when people have a lot of power--they tend to get corrupt.
