Office Hours

[Compared to the other two, Oswald is much more difficult to get time with. He only appears on school grounds on Tuesdays and Sundays.

Nonetheless if you're determined... he can be found. Most of that time is spent hovering around the Faculty Office. It's almost like the Entrance Exam made him anxious of just walking around freely or something...]

[What he says, he doesn't say with spite but--]

Unfortunately Computer Science 101 won't save our world. We have to stabilize this place and quickly.

It can't come in here now-- but how long that lasts, we can't be sure.

[foo_bar]

[of course.]

Who is telling you this? Sorry, but it sounds absolutely insane to me that this is what we need to do to save the world.

Do we even properly know what we're dealing with?

[adminus]

Oh sweet, sweet Han...

[You're so pure. And he admires you for that.]

We have to be certain that we can trust these people. That they'll be able to work together without incident.

The only way we can track down and eradicate the irregularities that have found their way into this world is with help. It's far too big a task for us alone. And if it came from out there-- our best best for identifying it and fixing it, is probably out there.

Why?

What happened? Why is this university at the center of it all, Oswald?

[he could act cute. he wants to, since it seems more effective but also he doesn't know what's going on. and so he worries his lip.]

Maybe we could think of something else-- I'm sure there's another way.

[adminus]

If we knew then maybe this wouldn't be necessary. And I assure you that once we do know, we will have the means to stop it-- and we will. So that this never has to happen again.

[foo_bar]

That's circular logic. Have we tried not killing, and finding other actions first?

[adminus]

You're looking at it incorrectly Han.

The goal is to find those who will not kill, despite anything. Trustworthy heroes.

Those who would put themselves first are those who will fail.

[foo_bar]

Why would you want to tempt people to kill? We already fucking know people will do that. It doesn't make sense.

[adminus]

The idea was not mine. I don't like it any more than you. But we're both employees. What the boss does is not ours to question.

I am not here because I love the practice.

I am here for the results.

[foo_bar]

Of course we should question it? Why wouldn't we, people employed by a university, not question things?

[he knows this is a circular conversation, but man.

he'd like him a lot more if he didn't spout bs like this, tbh]
