WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!

[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.

And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

[debuffed]

Oh, I see. All right, then. You do like taking on promising students.

[shortcircuits]

. . . I do. I also thought—it would be of value to you.

[debuffed]

To have another person to argue with?

[shortcircuits]

To benefit from the experience of others and measure it against your own.

[debuffed]

That's what I said, professor!

[shortcircuits]

Is it . . .

[debuffed]

Well, it's what I meant.

[shortcircuits]

So, more or less the same. I see.

[debuffed]

Right. That's one of the more enjoyable ways to learn anyway. Though of course, you're always good at varying it up.

[shortcircuits]

[I was praised? I think.]

I want to do what's best.

[debuffed]

What's best?

[shortcircuits]

[waves a hand dismissively]

What's best for you. I don't always know. But I always try.

[debuffed]

Ahh. I know you do. Though it's impossible to always pick that.

[shortcircuits]

What, so I shouldn't pressure myself?

[debuffed]

No, isn't that more reason to pressure yourself, in a way?

[shortcircuits]

Because failure is inevitable?

[debuffed]

Right. How you deal with failure is important too, isn't it? It's flexibility.

[shortcircuits]

Who's teaching who here, Alexander?

[debuffed]

I mean, it's not teaching if there isn't an exchange of ideas, is it?

[shortcircuits]

Hah. Well, that's the ideal.

[debuffed]

Why aim low?

[shortcircuits]

Well, of course I wouldn't.

[debuffed]

So, the ideal it is.

[shortcircuits]

I seem to have been convinced.

[debuffed]

There you go, then! [flings an arm around him]
