Second Nightmare [Phone/Out of house]

Jul 04, 2010 18:19

[When the phone clicks on the first thing that can be heard is a small hum.]...The 4th of July. In America it's known as Independence Day. Only July 4th 1776 a famous document in American history, known as the Declaration of Independence, was signed by the members of the Second Continental Congress. This documentation was a written promise that ( Read more... )

[Guess who didn't know any of that.]

Oh, so that's why England's been actin' even more like a grumpy hedgehog than usual. Interestin'.

iinchoucat July 4 2010, 22:30:43 UTC

England? Who is that? I've never heard someone being named after a country. Of course, if his parents were patriotic about their country then it would make more sense.

numanstan July 4 2010, 22:32:19 UTC

Oh, he's not named after the country.

He is the country.

Y'get used to it, really.

......He is the country? How is that...Can that even...I- uggh. [dammit Mayfield, one day and you already broke her brain.]

Is THAT what everyone was was so excited about? Explains a lot.

iinchoucat July 4 2010, 23:01:23 UTC

If Mayfield is a town in America then it only makes sense that they would celebrate Independence Day. I'm surprised how well known it is from what I've heard over the phone.

wolf_wolves July 4 2010, 23:11:48 UTC

No, I meant back in the 1770s.

iinchoucat July 4 2010, 23:15:05 UTC

Huh. Well...I couldn't tell you anything about that since I'm not from America, but from what I've read it was a major turning point in the country's history.

I wouldn't bother checking the library. The only history books there talk about things that are completely wrong about any version of America I've heard of so far.

The rest of the books are even more useless.

iinchoucat July 5 2010, 03:32:59 UTC

Is...that really true? Why would they falsify information about the country they are in?

What do you mean by the rest of the books? No book is useless if there is something to be learned from it.

angelic_meister July 5 2010, 04:03:45 UTC

The contents of the books change depending on who reads them. If a girl reads them, nearly all of them are filled with information on how to be a good wife. If a man reads them, they're about how to be a man. They'll also change to have information about whatever job you might be assigned to.

None of them contain real information. Definitely nothing to be learned from them.

iinchoucat July 5 2010, 05:53:22 UTC

On how to be a good wife? But I'm not prepared for marriage yet. Much less marriage in this place. [sigh] I can't even study and learn anything. Of course, if this town is supposed to be set in the 1950's then I guess that's why it is like this. Even so, I don't like it.

...Thank you for telling me this. At least now I won't need to waste my time going there. Is the school any better?
