Hakutsu University

“If that’s how you want to play the game, maybe you should pack up your books right now. I’m sure that Hakutsu would have a place for you, with your archaic reasoning and sequined trousers. This is the Year of the Very Uncouth Rabbit, not the Interbellum of Gazz, man! I want answers to these riddles, not just more questions.

Yes, Hakutsu would be a fine place for you. You always cared more for the thermetic arts than Uumian-historic studies. Was it the tuition that kept you away? Zooch doesn’t have a state-supported church to ensure that those most suited to public life attain higher education, you know. That means that it is full of merchants and politicians. Do you see now where your sass has gotten you? You’re going to be a librarian with a bunch of grocers and crooks. Their debate team is pretty good though.

Say hello to Lady Sybil for me.”
