meanwhile at your local campus starbucks....[open log]

[eternallybored]

[ Ah, Starbucks. Open until about 1AM, it's a great place to work and be fueled on caffeine while working. Maybe you're here for a study group, maybe you just want to be out of the dorm while working, maybe there was a fire alarm and instead of standing out in the cold you decided to go here, maybe you want to annoy your friends while they try to study, or maybe you just want to try the latest holiday blend! Whatever you're here for, this is a nice place to look smart and productive while indulging in your favorite hot drink. ]

[ooc: this is an open log for all characters who would find themselves in Starbucks for one reason or another! feel free to make your own threads. ]

My father believes it builds character, even if it is not necessary for money.

[mightletyouknowme]

How does waiting on a lot of idiots build character? You could just focus on school.

[eternallybored]

"Working teaches disciple and humility", or something to that effect. [ A rather princess-like handwave at the notion. ] Besides; school work is quite boring in of itself.

[mightletyouknowme]

But then you graduate and make a lot of money.

[eternallybored]

I am an heiress; going to school is only to say I have done so and to pass the time.

[mightletyouknowme]

Papa's rich too but that's different. It's not like we need their money.

[eternallybored]

Exactly so. Yet I am here to become well-rounded, I suppose. [ /siiiiips her latte. ]

[mightletyouknowme]

DO you go to school?

[eternallybored]

When I feel like it and only if the professor is interesting. There is little other reason to attend otherwise. [ ... ] Then again, the parties are not so bad...

[mightletyouknowme]

What classes do you take? I've been looking for some different ones...

[eternallybored]

[ She recites her classes as if this is the dullest thing ever: ] Astrophysics 320, 250, 370 and 371, Eastern Civilization 122, and Rhetoric 400. [ A pause. ] Certaintly if I am at a school the least thing I wish to discuss is that. [ So, out of the blue: ] Do you like video games? That is a better topic.

[ Priorties. She has them. ]

[mightletyouknowme]

Eh? How'd you know?!

[Ummm...the RIGHT priorities.]

[eternallybored]

[ ... ] Know what? That speaking of school is boring? I had believed that everyone knew that much.

[mightletyouknowme]

That I like video games.

[eternallybored]

Everyone likes video games.

[mightletyouknowme]

I'd like to meet more of them that did...

But eh, galge games are the best! You look like someone who could be from one.

[eternallybored]

...Simple: host a party and say that there will be video games and alcohol. Everyone enjoys a game of Mario DUI.

I am flattered you think that, although I prefer danmaku games myself.

[mightletyouknowme]

Danmaku?

[eternallybored]

"Bullet hell" games. [ She'll take out her phone and flip to this example of a danmaku game. ] They are my preferred choice for obvious reasons.

[mightletyouknowme]

But there's not much story there. Can you even make friends in it?

[eternallybored]

Of course not. They are strictly imaginary. This game is a test of skill, patience, memorization, and calculus.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She mumbles now.]

I know they're not real friends.

[eternallybored]

Ah. [ ... ] But of course someone such as yourself has plenty of friends.

[mightletyouknowme]

E-eh...

[She looks to the side before looking forward again, even if her eyes are lowered.]

Do you play Mario with a lot of people?

[eternallybored]

There are always those willing to play. All there needs to be is the initial invitation.

[ They should totally throw a party. ]
