He does tend to crumble when threatened with annoyances.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

It works out for me either way.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

And I fully support you being a nuisance to -- I mean, learning from Tart.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

I confess I bothered him into it, but... I'm not really a nuisance...

[Or is he.]

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

I say it with the utmost fondness. He was once pestered into standing against Azul when my friend honestly needed to be stood against, so it's effective.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

I suppose all friends need a firm shake from time to time?

It seems I stumbled upon an effective trick, then. Regardless, I am excited, even if I am a little bit tired. I will simply make sure to rest early tonight.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

Please do so. Exhaustion only makes the learning process more difficult.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

I would not like that. Fortunately, I usually go to bed early, so it should not prove to be too large of a problem. I know the importance of sleep when studying.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

Now you really are reminding me of Riddle...

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

He must be quite the sensible fellow. Biscuit-san has mentioned him to me before too, though usually disparagingly.

. . . Everything he has said though made me believe he is a rather upright and intelligent individual. So that always confused me.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

He is both of those things, yes!

He is also the head of a dorm that follows the rules set by the Queen of Hearts. And he's very insistent on enforcing every single one of said rules, no matter how ridiculous.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

Well... they are the rules of the dorm, though, right?

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

Correct!

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

Then... knowing that, going in, I feel that it is probably a good idea to follow them? If you go into something knowing the rules, then you cannot actually complain about having to follow them after the fact.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

There are 810 of them.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

Well, that should be easy enough to follow then...?

[Still fails to see where the problem is.]

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

You're right of course. It would be difficult to forget about such inventive rules.

Such as the one that says if you get soaking wet you must run in the sea to dry, and the one about how if you eat steak on the night of a full moon, a cat must play the violin afterwards.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

How do you...dry in the sea?

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

It's a conundrum, isn't it?

Thankfully for Riddle, the Octavinelle dorm is located in a building protected by a magical dome at the bottom of the ocean, so he was able to satisfy the requirements of that rule (after he forgot his umbrella one day) by running laps around our lounge for a few hours.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

What a strange fellow.

If I were him, and I were in charge of my dorm, I think I would just change any ridiculous rules.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

Change the rules?

[Levi looks incredibly amused.]

The rules set in place by the Queen of Hearts herself? No one would abide by that.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

It does not sound as though anyone is abiding by the rules to begin with, aside from Riddle-san? So it seems like the next natural course of action.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

Not completely abiding by them and changing them are two very separate things.

The best thing to do would be to simply acknowledge that not everyone is capable of meeting the Queen of Hearts' high standards while still paying lip service to her rules out of respect.

Re: All Flocks-

[heavyliesthecrown]

Such a strange school.

Re: All Flocks-

[strateelgic]

Don't the students of your school challenge each other to singing duels?
