Obviously we've all been pulled in from different worlds. Or different points in time, I guess, for some of you, and I've been wondering, where is everyone else from? What's your world like? That sort of thing.

[Infirmary Filter]

My name's Will Parry, and I've volunteered to assist in the infirmary with the rest of you. So, who else is working here, exactly?

Oh. What do you do?

[becauseheswill]

I'm a student.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

You're too old.

[becauseheswill]

I'm seventeen.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Just barely too old.

[becauseheswill]

Where I'm from, most people stay in school at least until they're sixteen. Most go on to a university until they're a bit older than I am.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

It's a Rule where I'm from. You attend school until you're sixteen or until you have learned everything, whichever be sooner.

We don't have...university.

[becauseheswill]

How is it possible to learn everything by the time you're sixteen?

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

It depends on what they say "everything" is.

[becauseheswill]

So, what do they make you study?

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Nothing of importance. Our government, our culture, our Colours. [Bitter laugh.] Basic arithmetic, I suppose. Anything you'd need to know in order to make it through life.

[becauseheswill]

No biology or anything like that?

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

[Looking that up.] Well, we learn about barcodes and the like. Why? What do you learn?

[becauseheswill]

Maths, biology, chemistry, physics, British and world history, sometimes a foreign language. We read literature and analyze it. Once you've moved on to study at a university, you become more specialized depending on what you want your job to be. I plan on studying to be a doctor.

[INSTANT SUSPICION.] Ah.

Well, good luck.

[becauseheswill]

[WHY YOU HATE, JANE. :C] Thank you.

What do you mean, they make you study your Colours?

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

[DOCTORS ARE EVIL.] It's nothing.

[becauseheswill]

Alright.
