Horatia nodded. "That's why I hope it doesn't come to fighting. If the school is split along lines, everyone loses somebody to the other side, I expect..."
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaHoratia looked at Michelle. "Hey, why did you run away from me earlier?"
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"Oh yeah, the whole British-Irish thing... I don't define myself by my ancestry. I don't even really know mine."
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"The Angles gave you a bum deal but it was the Romans who really screwed the Celts," Voirry replied, "Though I can't say I'm fond of them using "British". Briton is Celtic and includes the whole of the Isles. I just figure we gotta put these differences aside until they're actually, ya know, threatenin' us 'r something."

Jenny looked over at the group of students talking about the growing civil unrest, and certainly eventual war. A thought occurred to her and she moved her food to join them.
"Why do the Secessionists feel the need to go to war?" She asked no one in particular. "Couldn't they just pressure the government to give them a bigger say peacefully?"
"Your mission is not to nuke the squid god." —Faramir"That's what I was thinking. Hey there!" Horatia smiled at Jenny. The table was getting a bit crowded now, she thought.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaSimone gave Voirry a playful jab on the ribs with her elbow "Oh Voirry, you know I'm as Spanish as you are Roman. We ran those guys off our country a long time ago"
She then turned to the girl her new friend was introducing and flashing her a friendly smile shook her hand "I'm Simone, Simone Bolivar" The South American girl said just before she leaned forward and gave Michelle a kiss on the cheek "A pleasure to meet you Michelle"
"Romanes eunt domus!" Voirry shook her fist over the table and smiled, "Least I guessed the language. I've a feeling I'd 'ave gotten worse if I took ya for Portugese."
She then turned to Horatia, "tain't ever that easy. The government usually just gives people what they want, waits until they calm 'em selves all nice and proper, then steals it back."

Horatia shrugged. "I guess I'm just too detached from the common folk to really know their plight?" She rubbed at her expensive jacket, suddenly uncertain.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaHoratia shrugs. "I never thought of it that way..."

"Yeah, that's not so good... but I'm sure that there are more reasonable alternatives than revolution, right...?" Horatia didn't seem too sure. She appraised the Senior girl speaking to her now, wondering if she might well be fighting her sooner than she'd ever hope to.
