Case 227 [Action/Text]

[manofgnee]

I...am so bored. I don't mind working the mail desk...but it just gets so DULL after 4:00ish. Nobody comes in, no new mail...it's just shuffling and reorganizing...

[And playing Minecraft on the campus computers, but shhh, nobody knows about that.]

Who has the shift after me again? Because I think they might be late. It feels like I've been here forever...I have a history paper due tomorrow I need to...actually do...

...Hey, does anybody know anything about the influence of Machiavelli on modern politics? I think I was sick when we covered his influence on stuff. All I can remember is the 'love or fear' thing. And that is NOT gonna help me pass.

[ooc: Hanna is a college student at City University, who also happens to work the mail room.]

Just look it up on the Network. Or, I don't know, you might go to the library.

[ooc: Hello fellow university student.]

[child_radical]

Find a child genius to help you with that question.

[manofgnee]

The library would be my first choice, but...well, I'm still at work. Network it is, then!

[ooc: Greetings! :D]

[manofgnee]

I don't know any, sadly.

[child_radical]

Try Cliffnotes?

[manofgnee]

I...should do that. Do I still have my old notebook from high school...

[child_radical]

Or if you want I can give you my notes on politics.

[manofgnee]

Kick ass, man, thanks. I know Machiavelli, it's just trying to find a good example of his philosophies in modern politics that's screwing with me. The only guy I can think of is Putin. And I'm not even sure if that really works...

[misterblackbird]

And best of luck to you.

[child_radical]

Try looking at it like a four piece puzzle, there's usually four nutjobs that take bits of his ideology. [Slacker does not equal dumb, yeah?]

[manofgnee]

Thanks!

[manofgnee]

...hm. Good idea, I'll try that. Thanks!

[Demyx comes up to the mail desk, excitedly, grinning.] Hey, mail boy! [It's affectionate, really. Probably.] How're you holdin' down the fort?

[Action]

[manofgnee]

Demyx!

[Hanna grins at one of his best friends, and suddenly he feels a lot less bored and a lot more awake.]

The fort's holding strong! How bout you, how're you doing?

[Action]

[sitaronthewater]

Studying. [Note the lack of any study material nearby. He adds, sarcastically,] Isn't it obvious?

So is this why you couldn't come to my celebratory Stuff-Dining-Hall-Food-Into-My-Face today?

[Action]

[manofgnee]

Ah, yes, very clear. You are such a pinnacle of good studentdom, Dem.

[He can't help but grin at his friend before sighing, nodding.]

Yep. The person who normally takes this shift got sick, so I had to take over...sorry, man...
