[11:03] AG: Hey J8ke, got a minute? I have a question a8out human culture.
[11:03] AG: Normally I’d just ask John, 8ut he’s not on right now, so I’ll just ask you instead.
[11:04] GT: Human culture??
[11:04] GT: But of course!
[11:05] AG: So. I've 8een watching a 8nuch of stuff on this Spiderman guy.
[11:05] AG: And everything starts off with him 8eing in this thing called "high school"?
[11:05] GT: Ohh, the spiderman films.
[11:05] GT: Yes, are you inquiring what high school is?
[11:06] AG: Yeah! I get that it's supposed to 8e some sort of educ8ional thing, 8ut that's a8out it.
[11:06] GT: I may not be an expert on high school since ive never actually been, but it is an educational tier in our learning system!
[11:07] GT: Usually for teenage humans.
[11:08] GT: Its almost similar to a social battlefield in most cases, and most movies do love to show that.
[11:09] AG: So it's a real thing? I figured it was just something made up for the movies 8ecauase the whole thing seems really weird.
[11:09] AG: 8ut a 8attlefield, huh? That sounds pretty fun!
[11:09] GT: Not at all! Its a real thing i assure you.
[11:11] AG: Why can't you guys just educ8 yourselves? That's what we grow up doing and we turn out just fine.
[11:11] AG: Well........MOST of us do.
[11:13] GT: Hmm, well i gather its that our parents just havent the time sometimes to educate their kids.
[11:13] GT: And not all parents are trained for it!
[11:13] GT: Or something like that, i mean, grandma raised me and i grew up just fine.
[11:17] GT: A type of battlefield though! Your social ranking depends upon how well liked you are it seems.
[11:17] GT: That on top of all sorts of academic rigors, high school is probably a peculiar place indeed.
[11:19] AG: Oh really? That doesn't sound like such a w8ste of time if social rankings are involved. That actually sounds like it's 8e fun to do!
[11:25] GT: The level of fun seems based upon that ranking so, im not sure how much fun it would be unless you found a way to secure a high spot.
[11:26] GT: Surely wouldnt be a problem for you no doubt!
[11:29] AG: I was a8out to say. You DO realize who you are talking to, right?
[11:29] AG: 8ut anyways, what's up? I haven't talked to you in a while!
[12:08] GT: Hehe, but of course.
[12:08] GT: I arrived back just yesterday from an amazing expedition with aradia actually!!
[12:09] AG: Oh jeez, did you guys go did up a 8unch of rocks or somthing?
[12:09] GT: We took a trip to ancient egypt!
[12:10] GT: It was spectacular!! We were actually there, in the time period.
[12:10] GT: The tombs were breathtaking to say the least!
[12:10] AG: What's ancient egypt?
[12:11] GT: Its a place on earth, well, it was in earths past!
[12:11] GT: In the desert where these amazing structures called pyramids were built for dead pharaohs or kings.
[12:11] GT: And they have huge amounts of treasure buried with them.
[12:12] GT: But to get into these tombs is very dangerous!!
[12:13] AG: Treasure???????? >::::O
[12:13] AG: Aw man, I was a8out to say that the whole pl8ce sounds totally lame, 8ut now I'm really jealous!
[12:13] GT: What! The place is totally awesome.
[12:14] GT: Plus, weve still got to go on our treasure hunt dont we?
[12:15] AG: Well it's totally awesome NOW since it has treasure, duh!
[12:15] AG: 8ut yeah, we do!
[12:22] GT: Exactly! Do you know any other places to start such a hunt?
[12:22] GT: Or perhaps procure a map!
[12:25] AG: Well, since this is a new planet and all, there should 8e plenty of pl8ces to plunder!
[12:25] AG: And I have a map that Feferi gave me 8ack when all that clone shit was still going down, so we can use that!
[12:29] GT: Perfect! A choice place to start.
[12:32] GT: This would be on alternia, correct?
[12:42] AG: Yep! I know we used to have a lot of c8ves and sunken ships. That's where I got most of the treasure that I found 8ack in my old flarping days.
[12:42] GT: Sunken ships!!
[12:43] GT: That sounds so cool!!!!
[12:43] GT: What sort of treasure did you find???
[12:47] AG: Oh man, lots!!!!!!!! Mostly a 8unch of gold and jewels........Standard treasure stuff, you know.
[12:47] AG: 8ut the 8est thing I ever found was the dice that I use!
[12:50] GT: Your dice?? I bet that as a great story with it.
[12:50] GT: Where did you find them?
[12:54] AG: Well, first off, they're called Fluorite Octet, and they're 8asically the 8est set of dice out there. Me and Eridan were out on a really intense flarp campaign a while ago, when we stum8led upon this ship.
[12:55] AG: When we got a8oard and took out everything in our way, I found these 8a8ies!
[12:56] AG: It was a pretty fitting end prize for that campaing.
[12:59] GT: No doubt, seeing as you use them in battle now!
[01:02] AG: Yep. And to make the story even 8etter, they were pretty much handed down to me 8y my ancestor. I just used her journals to find where they were hidden.
[01:03] GT: Your ancestor?
[01:05] AG: Yeah! Marquise Spinneret Mindfang. She's who I 8ased my flarp character off of, too. She was pretty awesome!
[01:05] GT: Sounds pretty awesome!
[01:05] GT: Was she a captain of a ship??
[01:07] AG: Oh yes! She was the deadliest pir8 of them all! She and her crew were feared 8y many!
[01:11] GT: A pirate? Cripes that is cool!
[01:11] GT: Were you wanting to be a pirate like her??
[01:11] GT: I dont know how alternias seas are for the chance to be one though!
[01:14] AG: Pretty much. When I was waaaaaaaay younger, I found all her journals and read them front to 8ack 8illions of times.
[01:14] AG: Her life just sounded like soooooooo much fun, and she inspired me to do a lot of the things I did!
[01:15] AG: And our seas can 8e pretty fierce! And there's the ocassional sea monster to deal with, too.
[01:15] AG: 8ut that's what makes it fun. >::::D
[01:18] GT: Heh, sea monsters i know!
[01:18] GT: Dastardly beasts took quite the wallop to subdue, thats for sure!
[01:19] GT: Ah, but we should make plans to set out on this new adventure!
[01:21] AG: Yes! So what do you think, does the pir8 life sound fun to you?
[01:21] AG: Not actual sailing or anything, since I still don't have a ship. ::::(
[01:21] AG: 8ut at least looting a wrecked one?
[01:21] GT: But of course!! Aye aye captain! Heh/
[01:21] GT: Oh...thats a darn shame.
[01:21] GT: But a wrecked ship would be interesting for sure!
[01:22] AG: Gr8! Just you w8, though. Once Feferi takes the throne, I'll have my own ship!
[01:22] AG: Or, at least, that's what she promised me!
[01:22] GT: Woah what? Feferi on the throne??
[01:23] AG: Yep! That's what she's destined to do, afterall. 8ecome the empress of the trolls and all that good stuff.
[01:25] GT: Oh! That does make sense then.
[01:31] GT: But do you know when shell take over??
[01:34] PC: She's going to 8e in competition with her dancestor as well, 8ut the council in charge will o8viously see who the 8est choice is.
[01:35] GT: Jesus christmas i didnt think it was that complicated.
[01:35] GT: I certainly hope things go well for her!
[01:36] PC: I don't think it normally is! 8ut since Meenah's in the picture, this whole thing will 8e a headache I'm sure.
[01:36] PC: 8ut Feferi's got this in the 8ag, for sure.
[01:39] GT: What does she even have to do?
[01:40] GT: Not that i think shell have any trouble, im just curious.
[01:43] PC: I'm not sure, actually. I never really paid that much attention to regal stuff like that. ::::/
[01:43] PC: 8ut I'm guessing that she'll have to prove herself as the 8etter canid8 somehow.
[01:47] GT: Most likely it would appear.
[01:48] GT: I hope the whole ordeal goes well despite that.
[01:49] PC: Yeah. Me, too.
[01:53] PC: Anyway, enough a8out royalty and shit. When do you want to go do this thing? I'll start looking for places to visit on this map!
[01:54] GT: Good question!
[01:58] GT: Hmm. How does a couple days sound?? Ive got to prepare for this expedition.
[01:59] PC: Sure! That'll give me pleeeeeeeently of time to find a suta8le loc8ion.
[02:03] GT: Perfect!! Ill let you know when im all set.
[02:03] PC: Ok. Talk to you l8r, J8ke!
