So, just out of curiosity... has anyone looked into taking classes around here? And if you have, what's it been like?

I mean, back home, my parents were insisting I go to college, so... even if I'm not sure I want to bother, I figure I should keep the option open here too.

[He hesitates a moment before adding:]

How do you even figure out if going is right for you? Especially if you have other stuff you really need to focus on too...

Waste of time unless you want something other than having a heart attack at your desk fifty years from now. If that's your thing, your call. Good luck transferring the credits.

Wow. I guess that's one way to look at it. Totally not a college guy, right?

I think I'm more likely to die of some bizarre backfire using magic, honestly.

High school drop out. They don't teach you how to farm in class so what's the point? Same deal for magic unless you become the sorceror's apprentice.

Are you really a farmer? I mean, you just didn't seem like much of one, I guess.

And you're right. I keep thinking I'm going to have to find someone with experience sooner or later to keep progressing, magic-wise. There's only so much I can teach myself...

Oh wow, man. You got me. I missed the day in farmer school when they hand everyone their own straw hats, overalls, and chewing tobacco. I'll never be able to shovel my cows' shit now.

I don't know how you'd go about finding a master wizard, but apprenticeship can't be any worse than physics.

Okay, point! They don't have a lot of farmers where I live, I mean. But I'll be sure to write off chewing tobacco for any future gifts. Although maybe not the overalls...

You're right... I know one sorcerer from home, but I highly doubt he'd want to take on an apprentice at the moment.

Overalls are going where they belong. The trash.

Put out an ad on Quarantine craiglist. There's gotta be one person out there who's not a complete perv. I'll write it for you. Wanted: Tender youth seeks powerful sorceror for lessons in the arcane. Must like capes.

Or you can go to that Gramarye. Who knows. It might not be a front for slicing you open.
