So, question. Does anyone have a thing that charges things up? I need to figure out if I've made a functional lightcycle or if it's just a pretty but useless baton.

It was that or find a salad to laugh into. [That part's quieter; she probably didn't mean to broadcast it. Either way, Claudia would like some help with a thing pls.]

If it's working, I'll start taking requests. Only a couple at a time, though, I need to make sure I have time to... you know. Eat and sleep.

[There might be a slight hint of a laugh there. Not much of one, but...]

...dunno. Depends.

What does it depend on?

[He's kind of pushing away a bit, here, not quite breaking the connection but it's shaky. Sure, he understands she's trying to help, but ...]

Gotta get through school. Got in there in the first place, right? An' if I want t' go to college, kinda thinkin' about it but ain't sure... they're gonna care... I know it ain't everythin', but...

Think really carefully about college before you commit. I tried it because I thought it was what I should do and it sucked.

...wait, got in?

Yeah, I didn't think I wanted to go at all once, didn't think I was gonna need it, but kinda been wondering... uh. Y'know, high school entrance tests?

Oh, right. Not really a thing in the States, we're more interested in testing people to make sure they're ready to leave...

Actually. Now that I think about it, Japanese high school entrance exams are so hellacious I've heard horror stories about them. And you got in on the first try? That's gotta count for something.

You don't? Huh. Yeah, it was damn tough, still dunno how I managed sometimes. I ... kinda hadn't had a good year comin' up to it.

No, we assume if you made it through the year before you're probably okay. And in some states it depends on standardised testing, which is a giant crock of shit anyway. All that measures is how well you take a test.

You pulled it off, though. That's the important thing. Keep plugging away like that and I think you'll be just fine.

Heh.

[He 'sounds' a little more optimistic at that.]

I can do that bit, yeah.

That's all I'm asking. I'm sure I'm not the only person sitting here going 'dude, you're smart,' but that kind of perception switch takes a while to really sink in.

[Still, one more voice in the choir can't hurt, right?]

[Well... okay, she's guessed that right.]

...Thanks.

No problem.

Still down for lightcycle nerding sometime. And I want to see some of this fabled cute shit.

[...Yep, that's picked him up again.]

Now we're talkin'. ...Uh. Thinkin'. You know.
