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.

Experimental theology? Lyra, you're very clever!

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I guess that's true.

[hostbu]

I would have never thought of something so advanced when I was your age! I rarely think about it now anyway, I suppose. But you have very interesting question. Ehh I've never thought how we got here..

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

In my world it was real simple, and when I say "my world" it's this world too. It's a lot of worlds. All of them together.

We should worry about how we got here 'cause some people want to go back, and some people are still coming, and others are left behind.

[hostbu]

I've given some thought to the people who were left behind, yes. However, there's just no reason to worry they won't join us soon. Is there anyone in particular you're hoping will arrive here?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

But I plan on finding him before I just go back to hoping.

[hostbu]

Me too. I've got a party planned out to welcome them, I just hope they don't keep me waiting long!

[hostbu]

'Finding him'? Is he hiding?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

No, just waiting.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

You've got a party planned? Really? What kind? Is it a stuffy party like they used to have at Jordan? Or is it a cocktail party with people from all over the world? Are you going to have quail eggs and caviar and Tokay?

[hostbu]

ehh.. good question. It could be any kind of party! Everyone could come, so they could turn it into whatever type of party would make them happy. Quail eggs? ehh maybe, for commoners like Haruhi! Caviar sounds nice. Lots of cake.

[hostbu]

I think there's a person who is probably waiting for me to find him, too. He is very impatient. How are you going to find your someone?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I'm going to find how experimental theology works here and find someone who can help me.

[captnkennit.livejournal.com]

Do you have to go to school? I didn't know that.

[bestchild.livejournal.com]

Well what are you expecting, huh? They think we're just kids, they're not really going to teach us important stuff.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Quail eggs are not commoner food! The scholars at Jordan used to eat them all the time when they had their big parties. It was the Master of Jordan's favorite. Cake is more of a commoner food. We used to have it for birthdays, and Christmas, and for dessert. But quail eggs were special.

They're making me go. It's not so bad, I guess. College at home was a lot more interesting, this school here is pretty boring.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I thought they'd answer my questions, at least.

[hostbu]

ah, I'm sorry. Things must be different in Japan. It was nothing like France, so I am sure the difference between where I'm from and where you are from- entire worlds of differences- exists just like that. Cake isn't very special, I suppose, but I think it's someone everyone can like.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is different. Here I have to make my own food. When I traveled I had to make my own food too – but when I was at Jordan, all the servants used to make food for me.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

You should have a bundt cake, if you want to have a cake.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

What's Japan?

[captnkennit.livejournal.com]

Strange, but I suppose they are that desperate for scientists that they enforce education. Do you like physics? I think it's an interesting idea, but too complicated to learn all at once.

[hostbu]

I understand completely! I'm afraid preparing our own meals is not something Eclair and I are used to. It's quite challenging, but very fun!
