[B][Color=00ffff]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A[/center][hr] [i]I love it when a plan comes together.[/i] Victoria allowed herself a little smirk, as the group seemed to be mostly in favor of smacking each other with pieces of plastic for a while. [color=00ffff]"So long as we don't have to prove our worth by pulling the swords out of stones first, this will be great. I don't normally use blades outside of class, it will be interesting to scale myself against someone who does."[/color] she noted, softly calling dibs on a 1:1 with her roommate. Well, that, and she was genuinely interested in how she measured up. She has of course saved all of the knowledge she should need, however her construction and coding had the annoying property of still needing to practice to actually be any good with physical things like that. She still cringed in embarrassment when her memory took her back to the time she was learning to walk.

The topic then steered towards fortune telling and predicting the future in general, and if she was to be honest, it was grinding her gears. [Color=00ffff]"I can not accept that future can be foretold."[/color] she finally shared her thoughts, [Color=00ffff]"Only respect to the practitioners of the craft and the fact that some of them enjoy a modicum of success prevents me from dismissing the possibility outright. But to think that everything is written in stone and one merely needs to read it... I'd need copious amount of evidence to entertain such a thought. That would mean there is no free will and what we think are choices is meaningless."[/color] she shuddered just thinking about it. [Color=00ffff]"In any case, I'd rather not know what my future holds. That's a Schrödinger's cat I do not want a glimpse of. I'll sleep better not knowing whether the future is fixed rather than not knowing whether I can do something about a future I know of. I should go wish the old woman a fare well though."[/color] she made a note to bring this topic up in philosophy class. Perhaps some ancient thinkers already figured out the answer. [i]Who am I kidding. They probably only came up with more questions.[/i]
