It would appear that I am now employed here - as a librarian. While I don't mind being around books for much of the day, I find it odd that all of the drones are treating me as if I have been working there for years. I take it this is, ah, "normal" for Mayfield

A librarian? Enviable, if only it were a real library.

[fateful_chains]

Indeed. 'Tis not a bad job, though. I rather enjoy being around books.

[cowardly_prince]

As for the problem with the books, to my eyes the selection is mostly books about the native tongue and its grammar. Mayfield insists on employing me as a schoolteacher, so I suppose that stands to reason.

[fateful_chains]

A... teacher?

*trying to imagine Ingway working with children*

*failing*

[cowardly_prince]

...What?

[fateful_chains]

Ah.

What is it that you teach?

[cowardly_prince]

Nothing more than grammar, essentially. Sad that such a basic class is necessary for the young adults at the high school.

[fateful_chains]

Are many of them drones?

[cowardly_prince]

The majority, but they're actually more easily dealt with. Mayfield's play at perfection makes them easily satisfied students.

[fateful_chains]

That does stand to reason.

What of the students like us? Do they listen to your lessons?
