Don't you have schoolwork to be doing?

[said with an Irish accent.]

You don't really think that ever stops them, do you?

They shouldn't be too upset if they do poorly, then.

Oh, don't they all claim to have something better to do? Somehow it doesn't keep them from taking the time to inconvenience us.

[Shrugs.]

What do you suppose that says about their priorities?

They don't seem like much bother to me.

Suppose that makes me one of 'em.

But for how long...?

[Shrug.] Probably not very.

And you don't mind.

[Could be a question. Probably isn't.]

Don't see why I should. It's not like she's one of mine.

Of course. So sensible of you.

If you say so.

Lucky you, to think that.

Or, you know, foolish. I'm not really in a position to judge either way.

Chances are she'll probably end up distracted before anything too awful happens.

I've yet to see that work as a deterrent.

Couldn't hurt, now.

I suppose not. Although procrastination does seem an improbably difficult habit to break.

They'll find some way to stall whether we're here or not, I think.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Nor I.

So, what's your's trying to avoid doing?

Research for some kind of school work, apparently.

... For some reason, avoiding this involves listening to a song about some kind of cannibal, but I don't see what's so funny about it.

Nice. Mine's got stories to edit, I think.

Don't see how watching telly all afternoon's meant to help with that.

I'm sure that if one happened to ask, there would be some kind of justification offered.

Probably not the best one.

I don't doubt that.

And what do you do, now?

Recently, attempt to avert the end of the world.

Really now? You got any use for a spellwriter? Or, well, a sociology major, but I figure the first'd matter a bit more.

In this instance, yes it would. "Spellwriter" isn't a term I'm familiar with; what kind of magic does it specifically involve?
