History in Living Colour - Friday, Period 3 (Week 11)

Last week's inventor's workshop was replaced with the inside of a large animal fur tent. It was noticeably cold, but there were furs around if you needed them. Flamed torches brought the only light, illuminating the large throne at one end of the tent.

The Doctor gave a warning before he allowed the students to approach. "Genghis Khan this week. Emperor of the Mongol Empire, military leader, took over most of Asia during his time. You'll learn more talking to him than listening to me, but try not to antagonise him. It won't be pretty. He's a little," the Doctor tried to think of the right word, then gave up and went with "mad."

Joan was still wary of this class after the Spanish Inquisition thing.

Re: Talk to Genghis Khan

Throughout the lands that once feared the Mongols, no name inspired more terror than that of their leader, Genghis Khan. The greatest of the Asian warlords, he stood alone, revered as a god among warriors, marked out by the cold light of his grey-green eyes, the savage furrow of his brow, and the fact that he could beat the shit out of any of them.

This was the man on the throne before them. He had the look of a man who had thrown three dogs on a fire this morning because their master had gotten blood on him after being decapitated.

"Some ground rules," Khan said. "All females who address me must call me 'dear' and ask me how my day has been. Any who do not may be slain by my blade. All males must pay me a compliment, such as, 'Oh great Khan, that fur is very slimming. Your hat brings out your eyes.' Any who do not may be set on fire. Now hurry up. I have a world to conquer and if I don't get home soon, my schedule will have to be pushed back again and my son, Ogdai, will get on my case."

Dick was here. He was wearing a fur because it was far too cold in here.

"Oh great Khan," Warren said. Dryly. "Your amour-propre appears to be outmeasured only by your generous noisomeness. I'm clearly in awe."

No, he wasn't. But then, he was never the sort to worry about being burned, either.

Khan nodded as if he were barely paying attention. The kid was speaking French. His people would be conquered soon enough. By May, if Ogdai was persistent and had good timing. "Yes, clearly you are. What is your question for the mighty Khan?"

Warren was now clearly amused. Slightly.

"Have you any words of advice for the sons of men who have been imprisoned for aspiring to greatness comparable to your own?"

...Well, he was curious.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's nearly midnight local time, so I'm going to sleep. I'll try to pick up pings before leaving for work in the morning. Otherwise, I'll be around Friday evening.

"Kill your father while he is vulnerable in prison, take over his horde by force if necessary (and it will be), and do your job better than he did his while remembering that your glory will never match that of mine," the mighty Khan said. "And find yourself a good woman who loves you for you and not just the terror you can instill in her heart. They have trouble being proper wives if they're too frightened."

"Your words are very..." Uh. "Wise."

Warren was giving Genghis his 'I think you are insane' face and hoped that he'd be lucky enough for it to be interpreted as a proper sort of terror.

"Thanks."
