Nosferatu's first Philosophy Class

[if emotionalstate === 'passive'] ~~**{passage.name}**~~ \ \ It's a pretty convoluted text and your interjections, which force into your memories of a Greece long since gone— bringing you to a time when you still saw the sun— certainly do not help with the understanding of the material. [if emotionalstate === 'passive'; after 3 seconds] For you. The 2451 years did not do good to your mind, though your body holds up as it was in your mortal prime. \ \ In contrast, all the mortal students [[lift their hands abruptly ->Fair yet intense critique of the text.]] [if emotionalstate === 'defence'] {embed passage: 'Fair yet intense critique of the text.'}

emotionalstate: 'passive' -- ~~**{passage.name}**~~ \ \ You scramble your thoughts with those words and ideas. It's not like they are wrong— you just barely understand them. It's like learning English all over again. You still have your hand up, so you eventually get something out. \ \ "Hmm... I... think there's some merit to these ideas... the world did feel like it would end, had things stayed as they were..." [after 2 seconds] ... [after 4 seconds] [continue] "{vampname} brings up a good point, folks. Let's try using the language of the time, rather ours, alright?" \ You feel the uncomfortable [[silence ->Silence.]]. [note] link inserts (https://klembot.github.io/chapbook/guide/modifiers-and-inserts/link-inserts.html) might be useful in bringing narrative out. for eg, opening a bunch of pages googling?

_defence: random.d8 -- ~~**{passage.name}**~~ [if emotionalstate === 'defence'] You are interrumpted by an avalanche of comments. [continue] [after 100 milliseconds] "A bit antiquated, no?

[after 500 milliseconds] "I think Plato sounds like old men sound today. Panicking against the music, and that poetry will be the end of all." [after 600 milliseconds] "I can see what he might have meant, but it still seems on the very least naive." [after 700 milliseconds] "We do need to remember that this was a very different time, this was very innovative at the time" [after 3 seconds] The trashing of your peer goes on for a while until you cannot help but to [[raise your hand again.->"I think we can be more charitable"]] [after 3 seconds; if emotionalstate === 'defence'; append] But failing, that, you could just [[make a scene? ->Silence.]] [note] If possible, i'd love to link hermeutics or old men sound to prompt something about feeling antiquated. add here a node that links stright to Silence (you interrupt)

slide: passage.visits + 1 -- ~~**{passage.name}**~~ [if emotionalstate === 'defence'] Everyone, including the professor, is silent. [continue] She moves to slide {slide}; feels like the class will never end, nevermind the semester.

~~**{passage.name}**~~ [if emotionalstate === 'passive'] The classroom erupts into discussion again, some taking a devil's advocate defence of your peer, some continue to criticize— either through the same confusing ways, or new ones, that seem to somewhat make more sense, not enough to make a difference. \ \ The controlled noise doesn't help with the mental strain.
