Hubert's Perfectly Normal Day.

> OTHER: Contrive some sort of SCHEME.

Digital drawing of post-timeskip Hubert von Vestra from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is standing in his bedroom near his bed and fireplace, holding his journal in one hand and a quill in the other. He is concentrating hard, his brow furrowed with effort as he thinks about the scheme he is developing. One thought bubble shows a pristine-looking porcelain cup of steaming hot tea. The second thought bubble shows Ferdinand von Aegir (shirtless and overjoyed, his long red hair kind of a mess from having just woken up) holding the tea and babbling, saying "Blahblahblahblahblah." Hubert, looming over his shoulder, looks exasperated: behind Hubert, a clock shows that it is now 9am, making them much too late to go to breakfast as Hubert hoped.

Oh, yes, this is very exciting. You love a good SCHEME, and it is marvelous to get to concoct one so early in the day. This bodes very well for how the rest of your day will progress.

Now it is time to play your favorite game:

“What could possibly happen?”

This is a very fun game where you attempt to devise every single possible series of events that could occur in the course of enacting your SCHEME. You play all of these scenarios out to their logical end and then some in order to guarantee that your plan goes flawlessly and that you have accounted for any potential risks. As you know, you are very good at thinking, and knowing things keeps your heartbeat regular and makes you not nauseous, so this game is one of your favorite activities.

You open up your JOURNAL and begin to take notes on your SCHEME. Since you are pressed for time, you do not delve as deeply into the potential scenarios as you usually would; although this unnerves you, you believe you have drafted sufficient options as to determine several effective courses of action. You wager you can exploit FERDINAND’S weaknesses for TEA and PHYSICAL AFFECTION to make him see reason and agree to attend BREAKFAST with you, ensuring he vacates your QUARTERS in a timely manner.
