[UPDATE] The Path of Least Time-6th December

Woo, 2nd update in a day for me!

Things have been gradually winding down here at the Academy in preparation for all the winter celebrations; a number of people have mysteriously fallen ill for a couple of days, usually close to the weekend, and then emerged perfectly healthy afterwards. Very unusual, especially in the case of Tippy, who managed to get herself photographed by a celebrity column backstage at some rock concert when bedbound...

While I was on my way to Military History today to see if Sarah wanted to get lunch, I spotted the annual buzzing of activity that signals the beginning of the preparations for the Ball. At this time of year, students traditionally take a few hours off from study to watch the Academy groundsmen grumble about having to move all the valuable antique furniture into storage to make way for even more valable antique furniture to be put in its place. It's always worth a laugh seeing them struggle to move the Master's Throne from the underground stores by hand, given that no-one's sat in it for practically a hundred years.

Unfortunately Sarah was out at the Museum doing research, and I didn't feel like heading out over there and seeing that elusive Granier diary taunt me again. Violet dragged me out there the other day just to gaze at it, so for all our sakes I hope you guys manage to get that book done! I'm impressed that you managed to get mentioned in the Sentinel, by the way - pretty cool. Actually, I spotted a guy from the Sentinel out by Boardman's Cube research lab while I was out, and I meant to ask him about it, but he disappeared before I could reach him.

Finally, Violet caught a glance of my last post on this website after she was done looking at the Granier diary, and proceeded to give me a very boring and long-winded lecture about the difference between the Recons and the Brotherhood of the Six: "...traced back to the schism between the more traditional elements and the reactionaries. However, I feel that that analysis is oversimplified - if you check the original sources from the time, you can see that the Recon's interpretation of the texts was different long before that..."

Despite the fact that it was deadly boring, I was actually quite grateful for the break and passed the time idly nodding along and wondering why Violet hadn't joined the Academy. Just before I felt that she'd notice I wasn't listening, I managed to change the topic to poker: "I suppose the question is, though, is what their different stances on gambling are - would the Recons consider poker to be a modern invention? What's the Brotherhood's stance, hmm?"
