056 - Pretending Truth or Dare never happened...

[major_west]

I thought that hangover would never go away...

I feel as though I've exhausted the possibilities for recreation here. I almost wish there were another port, flood, anything to break the tedium. I can't believe I'm asking this... Does anybody have a board game?

Nevermind that. I'm not that desperate yet.

I just need... to get away something to

This might sound a little silly, but if you're agreeable to it, we might look to actual work to fill your time. I know it doesn't sound the most entertaining, but it's one thing you did have in your normal day to day life once upon a time, is it not?

It's not something that is usually done, I don't think, but I don't see why it can't be if it's necessary.

[gimmethemap]

Ohh, I see now.

So how does studying History prepare a person for a military career, Major?

[major_west]

Consider the fact that human history is built on war.

[gimmethemap]

I don't disagree with you there. So the whole point was to learn where people have succeeded and failed in the past, I suppose. Try to emulate the successes and avoid the failures?

[major_west]

Something like that.

[gimmethemap]

So what was it like?

[major_west]

What, university? Lots of parties classes.

[gimmethemap]

Have you thought of maybe teaching then?

[major_west]

Ah...

No, never.

[gimmethemap]

You'd be good at it, I think. I mean, I'm not sure there's much of a demand for it, but there's got to be people on board who'd be willing to learn.

[major_west]

No. It's really quite alright.

[gimmethemap]

What's wrong?

[major_west]

Nothing. I just don't want to teach people. I'm not an educator. I don't teach.

[gimmethemap]

You just lead.

[major_west]

And leading soldiers is quite a lot different than teaching the idiots here about history.

[gimmethemap]

Never said it had to be history. Survival, maybe? Self defense?
