(0005) scheherazade poses a philosophical question;

[scheherazading]

Tell me, Tales, which is more foolish: Murdock Varletti, or taking him seriously?

If I hear of any riots, duels, or general animosity between any of my Tales and the Aesopeans due to Murdock's prolific tendency towards mischief, I may very well have to laugh the offending parties out of our eccentric little community. Honestly.

That's a trick question!

Neither options are foolish in the least.

[scheherazading]

As you would have it.

[thatrapscallion]

Well, if anyone's going to be an authority on all things Murdock, I humbly suggest myself.

My credentials are excellent!

[scheherazading]

Don't you think you might be a bit biased?

[thatrapscallion]

Absolutely not! If anything, I provide insight of the clearest nature!

Incidentally, I also have Velvet Expert on my curriculum vitae.

[scheherazading]

Oh, really.

[thatrapscallion]

I'll show you my degree sometime.

Of course, now I'm working on a Masters that is mostly field work and intensive study. Given that I know you're a proponent of higher education and academic self-improvement, I'm certain you'll support me in this endeavor by allowing me further research opportunities.

I'm thinking in the form of a second date?

[scheherazading]

What university is this from?

[thatrapscallion]

A very prestigious one. Ivy league.

They have one of those rowing teams and everything.

[scheherazading]

Are you on the rowing team?

[thatrapscallion]

Would you like me more if I were on the rowing team?

Because I can join the rowing team.

[scheherazading]

I'll think about it.
