retrospec | (no subject)

I know we've all been a bit distracted lately, not only from the abrupt loss of two colors from the spectrum, but all the usual school madness that occurs in June. Grades are coming in, summer sessions are about to begin, and that's an understandably stressful time.

[To say nothing of sleep loss. Rosalind certainly looks exhausted as she glowers into the camera. Behind her, chalkboards are filled with equations, and someone with a particularly clever mind might be able to spot a trend towards space and time.]

However. Let me give a few of you a piece of advice. I know several of you are in university right now, or about to graduate high school and enter into it. If you ever send a professor who failed you something like what I'm about to attach, you will not change their minds. Point in fact, they'll be even more determined to fail you. I know I certainly am, and I'm not even the one dealing with this right now.

Honestly, I preferred the bribes to this.

Maybe I was.

[A scoff.]

The heroic, healing cowboy. On a mission to cure the world of an ailment running rampant, or some such.

[A shrug of his shoulders.]

I'd like to say that, but it makes me sound more heroic that I might've actually been. I didn't carry a weapon. I must've only relied on my wits to survive the wilderness.

Mm. A strategy I think might just work out well for you.

[Her head tips, and she settles just a little more against him.]

I think you'd do well playing at heroics. You're good at that kind of theatrics, and theatrics seem to be half the job.

True, the theatrics part I was able to indulge myself in quite well. Much like how I am now.

[At least he's self-aware enough to admit this; then again, this shouldn't be surprising either.]

It helps that I was amicable and charming, too.

Now you're just patting yourself on the back.

Not at all!

[A little.]

Think about it; I would have to be a sort of person that others would trust. I'd hardly draw a crowd if I were a surly, ill-tempered healer.
