5th floor Common room, Monday after classes

River was happy and making popcorn went well with being happy. So popcorn were flying through the kitchen and River danced about, trying to catch as many as possible with her hands and mouth. Berthold was lying under his blanket, tentacles reaching out and trying to get to the ice cream carton without getting in the way of River. Her mood seemed to be contagious as the monster made cheerful squeals.

[Open! There's popcorn enough for everyone.]

"Perhaps," she said mulling this, "I do not have talent for it after all, maybe it is prescience that the spice would trigger."

But without those talents how can I know if I would be an empress or much less know if the decisions I make as an empress would be correct?

"Well... I shall see."

"This is true. And I want to be better than..." she lapsed into silence, I want to be better than my Father.

"I..." She looked around again, hoping no one was listening, "I want to be better than my predecessors, I don't want to be remembered as a tyrant, I want to be remembered as someone who has changed things in my universe for the better."

"That is true... I suppose I just want some way of knowing that I will make the right decisions."

She sighed, "You are right of course, there is no use worrying needlessly. The future isn't here yet." She smiled and took some popcorn.

"Yes, it truly is," she said replied, equally pleased. "People here are most welcoming."

"Parker, Evie, my roommate Pam, and Jack--" lovely, lovely Jack "--are the most people I've interacted with," Irulan said.

Her Bene Gesserit observation skills kicked in at the oddest times, she noted the tension in River and wondered where it came from.

"Pam is a new student like me, she is very nice."

"I am taking Ethics, Government and Revolutions, all I hope will help me in my future." She smiled again, "And Jack is helping me learn to use guns."

"I suppose he is, he had interesting thoughts, though nothing I am not acquainted with," She knew the Harkonnens and she wasn't at all naive about them, the Imperial Court wasn't a place for that sort of political naivety. She would have grinned if she were the type to do so at the mention of Jack, she beamed instead, "Yes, he is, he is a very good teacher."

"I think he was concerned I didn't know how to use a projectile weapon, especially with the environment in the Imperial Court." She smiled, she's beaming all kinds of happiness at the knowledge of Jack's concern but outwardly she looked as serene as ever. "But, no, I am not a member of the Gun Club."
