Book 1, Part 2

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

At least, I thought that school would be interesting. I thought the Scholars at Jordan were boring, but I think I got used to it, and then they were interesting. The Scholar at my new school is just boring. I read other parts in my experimental theology book while the professor was lecturing. There was just talk about thermodynamics and entropy and that's all, there wasn't a mention of anything else about it. Do they want everyone to become scientists here? I thought they'd teach something interesting when it came to experimental theology and philosophy but it was just about things that don't mean anything.

I asked my professor about how I got here from my own world and she wouldn't tell me. I wonder if I study physics if they'll tell me then. Then maybe there's some use for physics after all, so maybe it's a good thing.

Ah, is that your favorite?

Maybe it's to complicated. Maybe they don't even know. But I mean, they'd be pretty stupid if they went and told all that information to anyone who asks.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

That's what people in the other world called it; they called it physics. In my world they called it experimental theology and philosophy because none of the theories had been proven yet. It's a lot different here.

I like physics, but it's a whole lot of numbers and theorems that don't do anything except tell you when something moving will be at point A or point B. They don't tell you about how we got here or how other people get here. I don't know if people stumble upon a window or are grabbed.

Japan is the country where my father was born. There were shoguns and they ate with chopsticks and sat under kotatsus! I didn't come to the country until about a year ago, and there is much more to tell. It was like this place, but noisier and a little kinder. In my world, there is a place called Jordan, but it was very far away. What was your home like?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Why? I think we at least got the right to know how we got here.

If it's complicated, I'll learn how to understand it.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I like it, yeah!

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I can make an omelet and a can of Coke Cola.

[hostbu]

I'm afraid I'm not much help at finding anyone.

[bestchild.livejournal.com]

What if they told it to someone like that person who went to jail? He might have done something bad with it, right? I mean, I don't really care how we got here, if they're going to keep me in this dumb school then I don't want to help them with any of it.

[hostbu]

Ohh.. Omelets with eggs, right? That sounds delicious. I can make ramen and Eclair knows a little about crepes and once we've made spaghetti- but that is about it. Rice is very difficult! Coca Cola? How do you get it in the can!

It is not frequent that people will answer questions when they don't know the answers.

[uponawitch.livejournal.com]

They don't seem to value much else here besides science. It's a pity, there's so much more to learning than that.

I like the sound of experimental theology and philosophy. Takes a while to say, though. In my world they called it all magic, but they don't have that here, so they've found better explanations.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't think she knew either. I'm sure I'll find out, I'm going to keep trying.

[gaiaroad.livejournal.com]

These sorts of things are often the hardest to learn about. Good luck in finding your answers.

Oh, that's called Nippon in my world. You're half Nipponese, Tamaki?

I came from Oxford, Jordan College is my home. There's a lot of scholars there, and servants. There are hidden pathways between the buildings, and it's usually cloudy. When the sun comes out, Pan and I go onto the roofs. There are gyptians and every once in a while they come by with goods from all over the world. I haven't found anything Nipponese, though.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're pretty good. Someone I know makes them better, though. I don't make the Coca Cola, I can get one out of the cooler.

Spaghetti sounds hard. How did you get all the spices for it? Don't you have to let it boil for a long time?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

That's okay, there are a lot of people here.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Magic? What do you mean by that? There's only a few kinds of magic that I've heard off, and they were all tricks of light and mind games.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

But it still wouldn't be fair not to tell him what happened to him, even if he did something wrong.

Do you know about physics? They kind of physics they're talking about?

Oh, sorry, it's a little rude of me for not introducing myself. I'm Lyra Silvertongue, what's your name?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm good and finding these things out. Thank you.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

You mentioned it before, didn't you? Knowing about all the different kinds of worlds.

[uponawitch.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Do you know a lot about them?

[uponawitch.livejournal.com]

I know a bit.
