[this is posted during prom, specifically during this conversation. this will probably explain a few things.]

A public survey for the masses. The more answers, the better, as this is intended to prove a point and be an accurate reflection of the population.

-Please explain your interpretation of the meaning of the lyrics of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" as played at the grad dinner approx. 6 minutes ago. Do not consult other people's answers or other sources beforehand.
-Do you believe everyone has the same interpretation you do?
-Did you know "stoned" does not consistently refer to the execution method before last week? This question is only slightly related, but I would be remiss not to include it.

Kokoro Belmont

[There's a huff of amusement.]

Don't like being told what to do so, no. [A beat.] And I'm pretty sure most priests would just want to throw holy water or whatever on me.

[stavros]

I have holy water, but I wouldn't use it on a classmate. Allies against the fell armies can come from any source. I believe the school, at least, understands that.

[marmoron]

The school might. Religious folks in regular, non-magical society tend to be pretty close minded.

[stavros]

I would say it depends. But I suppose I speak from the wrong perspective for you.

[marmoron]

No? I'd just say that we had very different experiences.

[stavros]

Doesn't it come to the same thing?

[marmoron]

Not really? I don't think you're wrong for thinking the way you do. I just don't have the same view.

[stavros]

It seems like the kind of thing people disagree enough on to think that everyone should think the same.

[marmoron]

[...]

Do you want me to get mad at you over this?

[stavros]

No! No? I'm just confused.

[marmoron]

More or less confused than with anacondas?

[Now that he has to know....]

[stavros]

Can we just forget about the anacondas? I would prefer not to be the laughingstock of the school any longer than need be!

[marmoron]

[There's a pause.]

If it helps, the Herald is coming. Don't think anyone's gonna be laughing at you or anyone else in a few days.

[stavros]

[She frowns with a small nod.]

Right. We shouldn't be so distracted.
