WHO: Rose Lalonde and the school!
TONE: Party rockin'
RATING: PG-13 for language; Subject to change via tom foolery
WHEN: October 26th
WHERE: Salvador Vantas' classroom
WHAT: Rose is hitting up the festivities a little early with a little Masquerade Tea Party! Food, drinks, and music! Everyone is invited so mix and mingle and party till you can't party no more. Or at least until teachers shoo the students off to sleep.

With much planning and preparation involved, is delighted to see that everything is going according to plan for the party. She has left invitations tacked to boards so many can see and has even went to the network to remind everyone. She was excited to say the least. It was her first time setting up a party. She wasn't her mom and didn't have the experience, but she likes to think that she did a pretty good job getting everything together while juggling everything else.

Happy Halloween Sorting Hat. Party rock till you can't rock no more.

Your family sound like rather hearty people. [She would not be able to eat at your levels. Ever.]

You were quite the life of the party on the dance floor. I can't fathom how you can be so high energy the entire night.

They are! Incredibly so! Perhaps it is a part of our Norse heritage. I know many others in Norway who are equally hearty.

There is no greater joy than the joy of dance. Although I imagine my feet will have me regretting everything tomorrow.

Perhaps you were something else in another lifetime. Assuming you believe in things like reincarnation.

I think many of us will be regretting dancing for such long periods of time by tomorrow.

It is something I have considered. I should like to think I was a bear, or perhaps a lion. Something large and fearsome.

Then we shall suffer together and it will be more enjoyable!

I was thinking something even better. Something magnificent. [Plus, male lions are lazy things, and she's sure Thor wouldn't want to actually be one.]

Aww yes. Misery does love company.

Something magnificent such as? [He really doesn't know much about animals for all his talk about them.]

Indeed it does. Company makes hard times bearable!

Maybe you're a god in a different world! Perhaps you are a being of wisdom that exceeds everyone else. Who really knows. [Kim is meta. The series.]

Doesn't it?

I do not imagine I could ever be more magnificent than I already am. I have set myself on such a high level.

[Thor is an ego maniac, the series.]

That is the most important lesson one can learn from school.

That's not necessarily bad. But remember that to be a great person, one must also have humility. No one wants to follow someone who only thinks of himself above others. Society doesn't necessarily liked to be ruled.

Do you think so? Nothing academic exceeds it?

If that is so, why is religion such a popular concept? If someone is truly wonderful there is no reason to humble themselves for the sake of the egos of many!

It is a basic concept that we keep with us through our whole lives!

Religion is a very controversial subject. I guess the faith or belief one may just be very strong in one person. I wouldn't say that being humble is for the sake of others persay. But if that is what you think, then so be it.

And what about those who rather stand alone?

People would be much happier if they accepted norse religion into their lives. What better guidance than the guidance of Thor? None! There is none!

What was that you were saying about being humble? I seem to have become distracted..

Ah! But even people like that need friends.

I think I'm happy as I am, but thank you for the suggestion.

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

You don't think some people just like to keep to themselves most of the time?

I am pleased to know that you are happy, but happiness can only grow over time. I do not believe it is something that thrives in stagnation. Change is good!

As you wish! And I do. I know many of them. Just because you want to be alone does not mean you want to be exiled forever.

Oh, believe me. Plenty of change has gone through my life to keep me busy.

I suppose that is true.

I will take that as a positive thing and not a negative thing as it could very well be, then. Congratulations on your change, Lalonde!

I am glad you see my logic.

It's a bit of both. But bad times pass eventually. No one should expect a perfect life. That's just too naive.

It could be argued that perfection is the balance of bad and good times. Though I suppose the general idea of perfection is to be without flaws, one could say the ability to rise above flaws results in perfection.

Basically, the word and the meaning behind it is interchangeable. Really though. Is it all that great to have a perfect life?

I do not think it is, if you expect it. But I think that it is alright to strive for perfection.

It's one thing to strive, but what if you actually successfully get to that point? What happens after?

You set yourself on a new goal and continue to aspire towards it! [He smiles cheerfully.] Life can be broken down into accomplishments, you know?

But if your life is "perfect," what else are you supposed to do? Isn't that the point of having a perfect life?

But there is no such thing as perfection! It is only something you can work toward.

This is all hypothetical. I mean, many do believe in there being a perfect life that is achievable. We are assuming this is possible. What happens when you reach that moment but still have plenty of your life to look forward too? What happens, do you think?
