Notorious - The Prydonian’s Theta & Koschei Interview, age 20
Koschei of Oakdown and Theta Sigma
The two most notorious students at the Prydon Academy
As we near exam time everyone starts getting ready for their next move.
Theta and Koschei have theirs all planned out.
Koschei: Is that really how you’re going to start this, Drax?
Theta: (laughing) He really does, though, Drax. He doesn’t head out the door without a plan for the day.
Drax: So you just follow his plans?
K: It’s not like that.
T: No, it’s not. He’s just more organized than me. He knows what I want though and pays attention to it. How can he not know? We’ve known each other since I was born.
D: Since you brought it up...
T: (sighs) Yes, I was womb-born. My mother was Human. Is that what you wanted me to say here?
K: There might still be one or two people on all of Gallifrey for whom that's news, Theete.
D: Does that affect you in any way?
T: Me? No, it doesn’t affect me. It seems to bother some people though. But I can’t control what they do or say.
K: I can...
T: (laughs) We take care of each other. It’s the only way we made it through Time Tot school.
D: So you both had a lot of problems fitting in with other kids. Is that still the case?
T: Nope. We have a small, select group of friends...
K: Which if you don’t watch it with the questions, you might not be amongst.
T: We call ourselves ‘The Deca.’ It’s mostly a study group of the top students here at the Academy, but we just hang out together, too, sometimes.
D: Do all of the Deca plan on going to the Time Academy together?
K: Well, most of us. Depends on who wastes time doing interviews instead of studying for exams.
D: You’re going to give me a hard time this entire interview, aren’t you Koschei?
K: (grins broadly) If I can. I mean, what would you do with a difficult person that wasn’t your friend?
D: I’m asking the questions here.
T: Really? It looks like he just turned the tables on you. You gonna get the upper hand back or should we just hand the recorder over to Kosch?
D: No wonder you two are notorious.
T: Notorious? Really? Us?
K: What for?
D: Theta, you have the worst disciplinary record going back over 100 years.
T: Really? I did that good? Awesome.
D: You’re proud of that?
T: Yep. I worked hard for that record. Too bad they don’t grade you for that.
K: (laughing loudly) You have always liked to stay in the shite, Theete. And most of the time you take me down with you.
T: You had fun.
K: Yeah, I did.
D: Koschei, you’re notorious for, despite Theta’s pranks, being the top student every year you’ve been here.
K: Every year but two.
T: Yeah, I beat you those years.
K: Maybe I let you.
T: Yeah right. Like you’d ever do anything like that. He’s very competitive.
D: Well it’s worked well for him so far. But the past two years, Theta, your grades have dropped off.
T: He keeps distracting me.
K: Do not.
T: Do too.
K: So, Drax, what else are we supposed to be notorious for, hmmm?
D: This magazine is read by all years of students, so I can’t exactly say.
K: (grinning) I think pretty much everyone in the Arakadeya dorm knows what you’re talking about.
T: Stop it.
K: Well, you are loud, Theete.
T: Yeah, well you love it. It really is all his fault.
D: One of the things you’re known for is your relationship. Aren’t you both a little young for that yet?
T: Maybe other people are at our age, but Kosch and I have been together and will be togther forever.
D: It’s language like that which makes you notorious. You’re both always going on about forever. Like for a Time Lord that word means anything.
K: It does. It means more for us than for any other species in the universes. Only a Time Lord can truly understand the meaning of forever.
D: But you have never had another boyfriend or girlfriend in your entire lives. How do you know that the perfect person isn’t out there waiting for you?
T: Because I’ve been with the perfect person since we were littles. No one is going to be better for me than Koschei.
D: Turning to more serious matters...
T: There’s nothing more serious.
D: Okay, more relevent to the readers then. How do you two manage to stay at the top of the class when you don’t seem to be doing all that much studying?
T: (grinning) I’m clever.
K: (laughing) I’m cleverer-er.
D: Seriously.
K: Seriously? Having that plan. Schedule well and you’ll have more free time than you know what to do with.
T: I just sort of go with what I’m in the mood for. When I get in the mood for studying, I can do it for days straight and not get tired, and retain it too. But then I might go a fortnight and not feel that way again. More than that and he starts nagging me. He’s right though, I get easily distracted. Always have. There’s just so much interesting stuff out there (waves his hand in the direction of space.)
D: And study groups... are they an important part of your strategy?
K: (shrugs) I suppose. If your study partners can keep up and not drag you down.
T: Of course a study group helps. Having someone to bounce ideas off of is always useful. And besides, everyone needs a lab partner.
D: Speaking of labs, Koschei...
K: Yeah?
D: How many does the one last week make that you’ve destroyed with one of your off-range experiments?
T: (laughs loudly)
K: I have no idea. Ask my father. He pays the damages.
T: (raises his hand like a student) I know! I know! Thirty seven. Not counting the time he destroyed the janitor’s closet -- that doesn’t qualify as a lab.
K: Brat.
T: Yep.
D: Do you think they’ll let you get away with your stunts -- Koschei’s experiments, Theta’s practical jokes -- at the Time Academy?
K: I know we’re supposed to say no. But honestly, they will.
D: Why do you think that?
K & T: (together) Because we’re clever.
K: Are you done yet? We have some serious snogging time on the plan for today.
T: You did not just say that!
K: Yep. I did.
D: Well we know how important a plan is to you, Koschei. So let’s not keep you from it.
