Introductions

Monsday, Janoary 2nd, Year of the Field Mouse

Ah yes, my first day at school. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Frederick de Courd, I am six and currently enrolled in the Bumsbury Academy for Knights. While many of you might be unclear about the "DSE" following my name, I'll have you know that "DSE" stands for "Dragonslayer Extraodinare." A title that will soon be bestowed upon yours truly after getting through grade school, middle school, high school, college, acquiring my M.A., PhD and killing a few dragons along the way. Phew, gotta catch my breath. *Eh*...er...right, where was I? Ah, yes. But right now, I'll just have to be satisfied with the title of Junior Stable Boy.
So let's see what Mum’s packed me for lunch...What, hey! What's this? It would seem an older (and bigger, much bigger) student has snatched away the lunch of this honorable...er...junior stable boy. All right, you can look at it...hey...no, don't take it out of the bag...ok, if you really want to have a bite. Hey! You've dropped my turkey gizzard sandwich! Ok, I understand, it slipped. No biggie. You'll be most glad to share your lunch...right? Careful, don't slip and fall while you're stepping on it. You don't want to mess up those brand new calf hide boots you're wearing now would you? What's what? This? Oh nothing, I wasn't going to draw my wooden play sword. No, seriously. I was just making sure that I didn't drop from my belt. These carriage rides to school can be a tad bit bumpy on the rumpy. No I don't want to fight you. Hey! where did these two little goons of yours come from? Drat, dropped the journal I was writing in. Hang on fellas. Say, good man, seeing as how you're not going to beat me up (nor lift a finger to prevent my beating), would you care to keep a record of these ongoings while I'm unjustly restrained by these bullies here? Right, the quill's right there. Thanks. Now, as for you boys...Unhand me you thugs. Oof!...That hurt...all right, enough now. I'll let you off with that one, but no more punches to the gut...Oof!...HALP!!!!! Someone, help!!!
