what do you do for money here?
besides quests.
you like it?

( someone may or may not be realising that she cannot subsist on taking on quests and nothing else, because sometimes none of them sound like your cup of tea. )

Cooking at the karaoke place. It was either cooking or hitting shit. [And of the two, he definitely prefers cooking.]

Apparently they pay people to go to school, if that's your thing.

[morns]

( okay, we found the one suggestion worse than cooking itself. not that she blames this dude. he doesn't know her. but she's never been an academic; that was always her brother's thing. )

that's generous of them. wonder how much it is.

( like there's pay you enough to barely scrape by and you actually need to supplement it in other ways and pay you enough to live live. )

[fruitknife]

Dunno. You'd have to ask someone who gives a shit about school.

But there's enough young kids here that it's probably decent.

[morns]

( god that's right. there's a bunch of children just running around here. )

you're probably right.
doesn't matter anyway. not planning on going back.

( but, in the highly unlikely event her brother ever turned up, she'd at least be able to tell him about that. )

[fruitknife]

Me either. Already had my fill of shit teachers.

Hopefully the ones here are better, but.

[morns]

they're people. gonna have shit days at work as well.

( at least, that's how she sees it now. there's no such thing as the perfect teacher, always patient and making the correct decision, is there? )

[fruitknife]

There's shit days and then there's 'protecting his own reputation was more important than figuring out whether a missing bullying victim was alive or not.' [For whatever reason, Gekkoukan has some... special teachers in general, but Ekoda's a real piece of work.]

Also school just ain't my thing. Doing shit makes it stick better than reading.

[morns]

( okay, no she agrees with him there. fuck that teacher in particular. all of hers were just regular people shit. underpaid, overworked, and not able to handle the issues of their students as a result. )

same here. listening to shit works too, long as you're doing something.

( she's learned more since leaving school through podcasts chucked on during cleaning than she did for her entire secondary years. )

[fruitknife]

Haven't really tried that before. Guess it depends on how much you need to focus on what you're doing.

(She was alive, for the record. Missing for a week and a half, but turned up fine. Because other people stepped in.)

[morns]

try it while cleaning.

(that's good. doesn't happen that often.)

( so optimistic, katherine. )
