While in the UK they are moving it back onto testing and rote learning (this last bit only to an extent).

Every exam where they can pass the students on through sheer rote learning they will do so. English? Have some 'notes.' Abandon all original ideas, too risky. Maths? You see these equations? Yeah you can only use those. Don't answer it any other way you can imagine. Modern languages? Memorize these essays. Art? I don't know, burn Picasso into your retinas or something.

When I woke up I saw an injury on my knuckle that I had gotten from punching my wall, but had healed. Now it's gone again.

I'm thinking my dream perception may have leaked a bit.

Determine if there are any...disgruntled members of the team, or any beings like us not on the team.

I effing loved that game. You could be such a good person.

I played a dwarf noble named Ragnus. I walked up to a stall selling weapons and began to inspect the goods. Upon noticing that I was a Prince of all Dwarves, the vendor perked up and told me what an incredible honor it was to have me look at his stall and can he help me find anything and blah blah. I responded by looking up from the vendor's wares, turning to my manservant dwarfservant, and asking him why this lowborn peasant was speaking to me. My dwarfservant (Ogdin? Orkin? I'm not really sure) sharply rebuked the vendor, and I continued to browse without buying anything. Then I strutted my royal arse off to fling my completely deserved authority around elsewhere.

I later lost my royal position. This did not prevent Ragnus from being better than everyone else around him, regardless of actual social stature. Ragnus is dwarven royalty, and if the entirety of the dwarven kingdom disagrees, then they are clearly not royalty themselves. If Ragnus must take the mantle of the only true royalty in existance, then so be it... and if anyone forgets the above, he will remind you gladly and constantly henceforth.

Needless to say, his entire party hated him with an absolutely incredible passion by the end of the game. Except for Stinky the Dwarf. Those guys were best pals.

Ragnus flat out refused to sacrifice himself at the end, and gave the great honor of "Dying so Ragnus can continue to live" to that Alibear or Abu guy. Whatever his name was.

I guess this is a own? I certainly got enough laughs from it.
