[Boredom is a hell of a drug, and also Chara should probably try to make friends on this thing.

And why not try to make friends that are around their own age?]

So like, I know this place just grabs whoever it wants right? So I guess I'm just kind of wondering how many of us are kids, like under the age of like... Fifteen? Or whatever, if you think of yourself as a kid I guess you count?

Cause I remember a girl on here trying to set up some sort of kid gang, but that seems silly, but I thought why not see how many people here are kids too.

[They feel like they're babbling so they're just going to stop now.]

Comments

[corruptedsave]

[Oh, a non-human and one that isn't a duck! Chara perks up a little.]

I'm 12 too, so it's nice to see someone else my own age around here.

[pricklybloom]

[ Now that she thinks about it, Amy knows a lot of people older or younger than her, but no one really her own age either. ]

Same here! I'm Amy. What's your name?

[corruptedsave]

Me? I'm Chara, nice to meetcha Amy.

[They're certainly much chipper and such with Amy than they would be to anyone else.]

[pricklybloom]

Nice to meet you too, Chara! How long have you been in this place?

[corruptedsave]

How long?

[They count on their fingers, figuring it out, before answering.]

Six months or so? So not too long, really.

[pricklybloom]

Still a decent amount of time, though. [ Especially considering she's only been here a few days. ] What do you think about this place so far?

[corruptedsave]

I guess so. [Compared to how long they were... indisposed, six months is nothing.] It certainly beats being at home, that's for sure.

[pricklybloom]

Really? [ That certainly means things back home aren't great, but it doesn't feel like a thing she should ask about. ] Anything in particular you like here?

[corruptedsave]

Yep. [They've not be secretive with their reasons for liking here instead of home, but she didn't ask so they won't tell.] I like that me and my brother can be together here.

[pricklybloom]

Aww, you have a brother? [ Cute! ] That's nice you guys get to be here together. Are you two really close?

[corruptedsave]

Adopted, but yeah. [They would make a face if she said that cute out loud.] And yeah, we are.

[pricklybloom]

That's so sweet! [ The fact that they're adopted doesn't make much of a difference to her, it's still cute. ] What his name?

[corruptedsave]

His name is Asriel, he's pretty easy to spot. He looks kinda like a goat.

[pricklybloom]

Got it. I'll keep an eye out. [ Even though she's just met, she's already prepared to help protect Chara and Asriel if needed. ] I'd love to meet him sometime too.

[corruptedsave]

You probably will, he's more into meeting people than I am. [And really it's more like others will need protecting from Chara.]

[pricklybloom]

[ It's probably good she doesn't know that yet. ] Good to know.

So what kinds of things are you and your brother into?

[corruptedsave]

[It's good no one knows that yet, really.] Into?

Well, we explore and do like. Kid stuff. Go to school, which we get paid to do here.

[pricklybloom]

Wait, people can get money for going to school here?

[ She hadn't even realized there was a school here, let alone that one could earn money just by going. ]

[corruptedsave]

Yep, it's mostly so we can get better at our magic than like a normal school though.

[pricklybloom]

Hmm...that would be pretty useful, though.

[ The thought of sitting in a classroom all day though already sounds so boring, but helping with her magic while also earning money would definitely be worth it. ]

Where's the school at?

[corruptedsave]

It beats normal school, for sure.

[And here is the address for the school! Since it's a public place Chara sees no reason to not share its location after all.]

[pricklybloom]

[ She saves the address into her phone, as well as finding where it might be on a map. ]

Got it, thanks! Couldn't hurt to at least check out, right?

[ Even if she decides not to take the classes in the end. ]

[corruptedsave]

True and it's not like they make you go, thankfully.

[That and no parents around to be all parent-y about school too.]

[pricklybloom]

[ Having it be optional is definitely a bonus. ]

Do you know students need to go the full school day? Or can we pick and choose which classes we want to take?

[corruptedsave]

[Chara looks thoughtful, considering they only go for the Dark and Blood magic classes and no one has made a fuss.]

I think you can pick and choose, cause that's what I've been doing and no ones gotten mad at me about it?
