Chance Meeting at Berkeley
Maximillian Sivana had arrived at Berkely University. It had been relatively easy to pass the requirments needed to enter. He just hoped that they could actually challenge him. He wasn't going to get his hopes up. As such he took a diverse bunch of courses, simply to test himself and feed his encyclopedic mind. His mother sometimes worried about him. The genius stuff reminded her too much of dear often unlamented grandpa Sivana. Max had no interest in becoming some megalomaniac bent on ruling the world. He could just imagine the bureacratic nightmare that'd be. He knew which course was first as he remembered the schedule by heart.

"The Histroy of Nonviolence," he mused aloud to himself. "Should be interesting." He wondered if the professor would freak out over his last name or not. Probably not, fewer people these days new the infamy of that name. He figured he might as well take a seat before the professor took role.

Max smiled as well. 'Finally, some intelligent conversation.' Out loud he replied: "Exactly. A person can can come up with any number of ideas in betterment of their fellow man. However, the only way those ideas will have any lasting affect is if the person behind them knows how to bring such results into affect. Gabdhi didn't come up with his methods of defiant pacifism on the sly. He was an intelligent, educated man who knew how to properly utilize what he had to make it work."

Class was just about over.

	Ruth's about to get into it more, but the professor warns her that they have to go over a few things on the upcoming papers. Once that's done, class is dismissed, but Ruth doesn't walk too fast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It goes against his usual policy of keeping to himself, but he decided to take a chance. After all, good conversationalists were hard to come by. "You really know what you're talking about." He said by way of greeting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth smiled. "Thanks. You too." She extended the hand that wasn't clutching her notebooks. "Ruth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max laughs, one of the few caused in-person rather than by television. "Your mother sounds like a smart lady. My mom unfortunately believed in continuing the family traditon of obnoxiously long names. Not the whole..mad science thing." Max found himself scratching his chin, a nervous tick.

	"Oh I know, believe me. I have an uncle named Magnificus." Max took a look at his watch. "Well..I have to get going to my next class. Talk to you later?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max allows himself a genuine smile as Ruth walked away. "Hmm, an actual friend. Maybe I'm actually developing social skills." NMax considered the idea for a second. "Nah, I just got lucky." Still, things would definitely be easier with nice company. He actually found himself wandering if he'd find more. (Reply to this)(Parent)
