I mean, I know that. I just never went to college and I have a decently successful career founded on pure talent and genius. Most people can't go that route though.

[thesettingsun]

Well, I'm sorry that some people want to earn a degree and earn some kind of respect in a world that mostly sees people by their accomplishments and equates not going to college with being a lazy bum. I don't think they're right, but I'm going to earn a degree or die trying.

[storytelleroftime]

Lol I wasn't shaming you or anything. College is a perfectly respectable path. I'm not telling you "don't go to college" or anything, don't get me wrong there.

[Maggie maybe you should just stop.]

[thesettingsun]

It sounded a little like you and your 'real job' were mocking me.

[Or he's just sensitive about these things.]

[storytelleroftime]

Well I wasn't! So... let's just move on from this subject.

[thesettingsun]

Let's go back to petty and vengeful curses, those are way more fun.

[storytelleroftime]

Yes they are. Petty and vengeful curses are way better.

But what, can you like use black magic or something?

[thesettingsun]

I wish. Sometimes it's just fun to wish terrible things on your enemies. Like having to go to the bathroom in the middle of all of the tests where you aren't allowed to leave the room.

[storytelleroftime]

I fully agree with that sentiment. and I didn't actually think you could, but someone probably can. What since people apparently have powers and all.

[thesettingsun]

Curses are pretty classic, I think. More than some of the things I know people have gotten.

[storytelleroftime]

What have people gotten? I'm curious now.

[thesettingsun]

Ink for blood.

[storytelleroftime]

...Okay what? Ink for blood? How does that work?

[thesettingsun]

Hell if I know. They just have ink instead of blood now. They can drink ink to heal bruises, because that's definitely a thing you want to put in your mouth.

[storytelleroftime]

Well I hope to God my other self doesn't have anything.

[Well do you wanna become a 14 year old elf Magi because that's what is in store for you.]

[thesettingsun]

Best of luck with being an incredibly normal human being.

[storytelleroftime]

I mean, I don't really want to be normal, per se. Just not have weird physical mutations like, well.... ink blood.

[thesettingsun]

It's not the worst thing that could happen. You could be this guy.

[He has that post bookmarked as a convenient reference for how bad shit can get.]

[storytelleroftime]

Oh. A... demon arm. Great. Well, I at least know I don't have one of those.

[thesettingsun]

Yet.

[storytelleroftime]

no, I've seen what my arms look like in one of my flashbacks. They look like normal, human arms. So unless my arm just magically turns into some sort of demon claw then I doubt have one. As for anything else about me, well... I can't confirm that yet.

[thesettingsun]

Would your arm suddenly turning into a demon claw one day be better or worse than being born with it?

Anyway. You might have something weird.

[storytelleroftime]

I might. If I do, I just haven't seen it yet. Like maybe I have some sort ofhorriruc, disfiguring facial scars!

[thesettingsun]

Do you remember looking behind you? You could have a tail.

[storytelleroftime]

You know, I could. But also I don't want to be a furry, so I just hope that's not actually the case.
