Third floor common room, Tuesday afternoon

No classes or work -- and not quite having the energy to go out and attempt to rebuild the trebuchet -- made for a nice lazy afternoon. Claudia was curled up on one side of the common room couch for a little light reading.

Look, when you spent more than half your time studying theoretical physics, Gravity's Rainbow WAS light reading. Maybe not as light as, say, Vonnegut, maybe. And, okay, she'd only made it 20 pages in, so far. She kept getting distracted by the whole thing with the giant blobby slime monster eating London.

Literature was totally screwed up, yo. English teachers never told you that.

"I'm pretty sure pretend-evil counts as a shade of gray, morally."

"Who knows, maybe they'll offer a class next term," Peter said. "If they do, I'll take it."

He was going to regret saying that.

Yeah. Yeah he was.

"Hell, I'd take it with you. It might be a fun class." She tilted her head. "Though I think your dad's might qualify as, like, pre-pretend evil. It's definitely kind of mad science 101."

"I think I might have to take offense at that," Peter said. "Since you're calling Walter pre-evil."

"See, you're skipping past the 'pretend' part, again."

"I don't think much of Walter's class falls into the 'pretend' category," Peter said. "Most of that is very hard science."

"Just because you're pretend evil doesn't mean you can't be a real scientist. Also? I did say 'pre-'."

"I also said 'think'," Peter said. "Which meant I wasn't quite sure either way. But I think you've made your point."

He wasn't quite sure why he was defending his father, either.

"So I didn't offend? 'Cause I like offending people I like, as a general rule."

"Sorry," Peter said. "You successfully did not offend me, to put it as unclear as possible."
notmyownage: (*is classy*)

"That's some impressive lack of clarity. I'll just have to interpret it how I like, then."

"It's like a choose your own adventure book in linguistic interpretation," Peter said. "I hope you enjoy whatever you choose."

"I'm sure I will. So, new session's coming up. Looking forward to not being one of the new kids?"

[identity profile] theotherpeter.livejournal.com 2010-06-23 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"So that's how it works?" Peter said. "I'm one of the new kids until the new batch arrives?"

He had to admit, the idea of breaking a few brains seemed amusing.

"That's the gist I got when you all showed up."
