Fourth Floor Common Room, Sunday Afternoon

[fly-so-serious.livejournal.com]

This morning, everyone in the school got a last-minute email announcing Joker's birthday party, and there were flyers posted in a few places throughout the dorms. Both strictly insisted "no presents, please".

The fourth floor common room had been done up party-style, with streamers, balloons, the whole works.

The TV was playing a bad movie marathon, and there were snacks, drinks, and pizza laid out. Joker himself was lounging on the couch, eating pizza, and watching the TV. Underneath a large banner hanging from the ceiling that said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!"

He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all.

(Open common room!)

"That seems an apt comparison, then," Jalian agreed. She frowned, working her way through his previous question. "My timeline suffered Armageddon, yes. And was further along in time than here. But we live well enough. The elder huntresses are no stricter than needed. Ghess'Rith gets annoyed with the Corvichi Shipmind sometimes, but I don't think it's evil. Cowardly," she added a bit acerbically, "but not evil."

"Well, that's not too bad, I guess?" Joker hazarded. "Still, no fiction, and no history? That ain't right."

"You aren't listening!" Jalian said, exasperated. "We have stories, we just don't write them. And we have plenty of history, from before the Fires and after. Most of the after isn't written, either. Ken Selvren moved from place to place to find a home; books weren't practical."
