Hey, maybe this is going to sound like kind of a silly question, but — does anybody have any advice for staying focused while studying for exams? I really don't remember it being this hard! I mean...sure, it's been a really long time since I've had to study like this, but it shouldn't be that tough to pick up again, right?

Though I guess I ought to know better than to try to study during Cordis, but...

Well, my plans to study during Sanguis kind of got...interrupted! So now here I am, going over everything, and I keep getting sidetracked by one thing or another. Half the time I want to get up and eat, and then other times I want to lie down and take a nap...ugh!

But I really need to stop letting so much time go to waste. I made a promise to myself that I was going to do this! And I've worked this hard already for months and months, I can't trip at the finish line now!

Jeez, maybe I ought to borrow some catnip from the cafe and sprinkle it on my books, I bet I'd pay attention to them then.

(This is actually my first time being a cat for Cordis — I guess you could say it's pretty im-purr-essive that it hasn't happened before now! Especially what with owning a cat cafe and all. I just wish it weren't so distracting!)

Oh! Well, I can introduce you to at least one if you want. He uses the username "fantasma" on the network — that's my brother. He's a Sanguis! He turns into a ram, though. Or, um, a dragon.

And it's called Beans! We're on level two — it's Beans! because it's a cat cafe, so, you know, coffee beans and cocoa beans and toebeans. I thought it was pretty clever!

...Um. Well, they...sometimes they shed this sort of powder. And it gets everywhere, and makes a mess.

A dragon? I'll pass. They're frightening as fuck, I have a bad enough temper as a fishwolf.

I think I've passed by your cafe before, I'll pop in sometime. You can't miss me, I'm the green half-orc over 6ft. My name is Fjord.

... The shedding thing's gross, yeah.

[doreimi]

...Wait.

You've seen a real dragon before? Like not just a Sanguis dragon, a real dragon?

[halforc]

Dragons, dragonborn, fought a couple of the former and grew up in a city where the latter were sprinkled around. Sure.

[doreimi]

Oh, wow! So you must come from someplace where things like that aren't just stories!

I'm not from anywhere special like that. Just a little town in kind of the middle of nowhere.
