it's almost christmas! how does it feel to be approaching the holidays when nightfall is approaching so quickly? make sure to spend your time wisely, because you might not be here next year you might be three meters underground!

juuuuuuust kidding! but it's a fun thought, isn't it? people celebrating and putting their holiday lights up, almost as if trying to make us unaware of what is coming. they might as well be trying to brainwash us, huh?

i really hope i can buy some new video games-- what are you guys planning?

[well, ignoring all the nightfall talk-]

Doing some streams and preparing for AGDQ in january, honestly. As well as continue teaching, of course!

...Though, a word of advice. Many here are...touchy about Nightfall, so it may be for the best that you don't go riling up that hornet's nest.

[escardos]

ofc people will be scared, professor. that’s why it’s important to remind them of it; it’d be silly for them to look the other way just because they started putting up christmas lights.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Yes, but there is such a thing as being tactful about it. Reminding people of a potential demise is not a quick way to gain friends in a new school, after all!

[...Hm. Is that-]

[Let's see if those numbers were an accident or not.]

[escardos]

i think this is a perfectly good way to make friends in this school professor! after all, who else would quote back to me the second feigenbaum constant of the bifurcation theory?

[ moriarty was right on the dot there. flat’s pleased. ]

besides, people only care about tact when it benefits them. if it doesn’t, then you’re a liar. isn’t it better to just be honest?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Ah, so I was correct, then! A clever username, that. Though I did only know it due to being the Math Professor here.

[He's also pleased!]

Hm...certainly, one could see it that way. However... such a thing will only chase others away from you. As illogical as it is, a few lies must be given in order for society to run smoothly.

It feels pretty good, honestly. Nothing like mortal peril to put you in the holiday spirit.

I'm not planning anything, as far as I know. It'll be my first Christmas so I don't even know what I should be planning.

[escardos]

math professor...i almost thought you were some sort of astronomy professor because of your un.

guess it makes sense though. lol.

if people are afraid, then that’s fine. i honestly don’t know how anyone isn’t bored with how things are. but i guess that’s humans for you, huh?!

[escardos]

that’s the spirit!!!!!!

as for plans hmmmm.... i guess going to see the lights is pretty popular? also, if it snows, then sledding seems like really fun too. but tbh i just like staying indoors. it’s too cold outside lol

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I have some learning it Astronomy - a Bachelors, actually. My PhD is in Mathematics, though!

[Hmmm....]

Humans? Are you not originally human, then?

[escardos]

is that so!? i feel like i've heard something like this before, though....well, it doesn't matter!

ehh, you haven't seen my files yet professor? i'm hurt! :(

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Wait.

Waiiiiiit.

did someone finally notice?!

Oh thank god, he was going insane.]

Hm? Something like this? Like what, exactly?

And no, I must confess that I haven't yet...my apologies!

Gee, I thought this place was being a little too cheery. /s

But really, Nightfall, getting hit by a toilet seat from the international space station, getting sick - there's really no point in dwelling on the what-ifs of how you might die even for a seer, or else you're missing out on everything, y'know?

Me? I'll probably see mom during the break and maybe learn to use some of my abilities better.

[escardos]

can't tell now! wouldn't wanna spoil the big secret here in the chat, you know? unless you want me to!

[synthsized]

The cold doesn't bother me because I'm not a punk ass bitch.

So maybe I'll try sledding.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Then, is this a hint that I should come to you? ...Unless you would like to come to my apartment, where I have quite the video game collection.

[Aka hell no you're not getting out of this that easily VALIDATE HIM]

[escardos]

GETTING HIT BY A TOILET SEAT FROM THE ISS WOULD BE THE COOLEST WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also i'm not really worried about dying you know? it's just funny how this school is trying to get us to forget about this when they're pretty much training us to fight in the apocalypse. isn't that kind of funny?

[escardos]

ahahaha i dont trust strangers like that, sir!

although, i guess if you were to kill me it'd be kind of my fault that it happened so sure, i'll meet up with you, professor!

[escardos]

well i'm not punk and i don't think i'm a bitch so...i don't think that applies to me either.

[ sorry fam he didnt get it. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

That's the spirit! I live at -

[Handwave handwave directions to the savant apartments go here, along with his number because I am way too lazy to look that up rn]

I'll be waiting for you - it'll also be a good opportunity for me to give you the syllabus for my classes.

[synthsized]

[Wow, what a dipshit.]

Nah, a punk ass bitch is something different than a punk or a bitch. You'll figure it out when you're older.

Three meters underground might still be an optimistic assessment - it assumes your body is found, for one. And thus that someone is around to find it, too.

Even a shallow grave would be fortunate when it comes to a death during Nightfall. Though... once we're dead, it won't matter anymore either way.

[conquerorofwaves]

If I gotta die, I want it something that'd be put down as 'Death by Misadventure', or 'The hero sails off into the unknown, what happened? nobody knows, someone will try to find out in a hundred years' kind of deal? Leaving a story behind sounds like the way to go.

But as for that, I think some of them - it's not they're making us forget, it's - this is just what I pick up from them - it's their way of assuring us we'll make it, 'you got to have something for when we're done - math will more likely make you money than swinging a sword around', that kind of thing?

[escardos]

well i didnt want to ruin the mood for everyone www. but it doesn't really matter does it? tbh, we might just end up becoming food for rats and demons before anyone has the chance to bury us.

isn't that kind of exciting on its own, though?

[escardos]

why not figure it out now?
