[Open to Investigators]

[Everyone might have heard... something trying to come through from Adachi yesterday morning after the party, but it was garbled and hard to hear, like he was talking through water. It's not until the next day that he actually manages to get something through.]

Man, it's hard to talk like this when you're hung over...

[He let out an embarrassed noise, before continuing.]

So, if you guys don't mind humoring me, gimme a sec to make sure I've got all this right:

Cultures and Humanities want to promote social law, and I'm guessing cultural acceptance so we all can work better together toward a brighter future.

Ecological Sciences wants to create some mutant plant to help restore the earth.

And the Tech group wants to build something that flies... I guess so it'd be easier to extend the school's reach.

[There's a pause.]

...am I the only one that thinks they shouldn't be fighting over who gets the big check?

It's maddening. I understand the need for patronage, but... surely if the departments worked together, even more amazing things could be done, instead of all this useless in-fighting.

[wantedittobeagame]

Right?

All three of these departments need each other in order to make their goals. Favoring any one over the other is just going to make things difficult, if not impossible.

I have been trying to help where I can, perhaps make it so that the departments will require the money less. But I am not sure it will work. They may just justify their greed anyway, regardless of what I do - or any of us do.

[His mental voice seems tired, though it may be partly due to the subject matter and not true mental fatigue. Still, it shows.]

I have never been to a University, so I don't know how it works... otherwise I might ask if it were possible to evenly distribute the money.

You're not really missing anything; school for me was just studying forever. Not fun at all.

[Ugh, this whole Jaunt was giving him flash backs of him cooped up his in his room with thick volumes of text surrounding him... taking notes upon notes... the memory of teachers smacking their rules against his desk as he struggled to stay awake after a particularly grueling study session...]

[Okay, so maybe his memories were a bit exaggerated and influenced by anime. It didn't change how horrible it was.]

But yeah; it's in human nature to be greedy, but that's why we got a C&H department, right? They can promote cultural understanding and law, but also acceptance and working together.
