[Poll #664787]

Methos has his feet up on the desk. "I don't feel like working too hard today. Next Wednesday is your first exam. Today? Talk about Greece. Talk about Egypt, Sumeria, Crete, whatever we've discussed in class. Throw spit balls at each other. I don't care.

"Next Tuesday we'll have a formal review session. Your illustrious TA, Janet Fraiser, has volunteered to run an additional study group after our meeting next Tuesday."

"Yes, but we do get the concept of modern drama from them," said Janet. "So I could forgive them a lot if they'd ended up being the inventors of bureaucracy."

"Well, the concept of modern drama could have been subsequently invented by the lost Gallic tribe of Emo, close relatives of the Goths."

Janet grinned. "You know, I wonder if Dr. Pierson is going to test us on them later?"

"I doubt it," Ivanova replied, still completely deadpan. "They were quickly conquered because the very thought of having to go to war caused them all to collapse under the weight of existential angst, and ultimately provided nothing of historical value."

"Gosh, that's tragic," said Janet, smirking. "Someone should write about that. Possibly in verse."

"With overuse of the words, 'black', 'sorrow', and maybe 'drowning'." Ivanova didn't break expression. "In fact, one little-known fact about the Emos is that in their native language there were no words for colours, all shades being expressed only in 'black', 'blacker', or 'blackest'."

"That's absolutely fascinating," said Janet. She propped her chin in one hand. "You know, I think I've heard something about this culture. Didn't they have fifty-seven words for 'rain' and about a hundred or so for 'night?'"

Ivanova nodded. "They were primarily cave-dwellers. Referred to the sun as the Daystar or the Big Dread Fire That Hangs in the Sky. Their pantheons of deities seem to revolve around vampirism and shrieking men and women - probably a variant of the Celtic bahn-sidhes, or banshees."

"Ooh, neat," said Janet. "We should see if we can talk Dr. Pierson into doing an entire class session on the Emos. Say, around April 1st?"

OOC: RL bedtime. Night!

"We should. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to convince him." She didn't crack a smile once. Ivanova was the master of deadpan.

[[Night!]]
