So what's the point of going to school here if time just stops still back home? That just means I'll have to do it all again when I get sent back, even if I don't remember it.

Especially if I don't remember it.

Vacation? I'll take a vacation, man. Home's been crazy lately.

[aka_shazam]

Vacation here? I still gotta work.

I'm trying school, actually. And a part time job.

I think I might take a look at where you work for something part time. Why not, right?

Oh, sure. Yeah. It's called Datascape.

Datascape. Cool. I know where that is.

Hm...Is what you learn I school here identical to what you learned at home?

I'm not going. I was also about to quit at home, to become a rikishi at Yamatokuni Beya.

It's just basic stuff. I guess it would be the same.

What's a rick... rikishi?

Re: Video

[yamatokunijunior]

Wouldn't history and current events be more related to this world? Classic literature is not the same on most worlds.

Have you heard of sumo? A rikishi is a wrestler devoted to sumo.

THE POINT OF GOING TO SCHOOL IS EDUCATION!!! RAISING YOUR HAND TO GIVE GREAT ANSWERS TO TEACHER-PUZZLES! HAVING YOUR MOM PACK THE MOST NUTRITIOUS OF LUNCHES!! GETTING THE HIGH SCORES ON MONSTER TESTS!!! IF YOU DON'T GO TO SCHOOL, HOW WILL YOU EVER BECOME ALMOST AS SMART AS THE GREAT PAPYRUS!?!?

[You tell him that.]

[He winces visibly when Papyrus mentions 'mom' but doesn't comment on it.]

I'm smart enough. I mean, it'll just repeat so it seems pointless to do it twice.

SCHOOL IS SO NICE IT'S WORTH DOING TWICE!! BESIDES, THE SCHOOLS HERE ARE UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE!!! IS THERE AN ATTLETON U WHEREVER YOU'RE FROM???

School's overrated in general. I never went, and I managed to be a pirate captain, and then a division commander. Didn't even know how to read really until I came here, and it never stopped me from doing anything I wanted. So it's just a waste of time.

[aka_shazam]

I don't mind learning cool stuff but I really don't want to learn it twice.

[burnt_offering]

[That gets a blank look from Ace.] You can learn something cool at school?

[soulsforsale]

There is no point. You're just going to forget, so just don't go to school and work at one of those low paying jobs for however long you will be here.

[aka_shazam]

I do have a full time job already.

[soulsforsale]

Impressive. What is it that you do?

[therabbit]

Do you not like school?

[aka_shazam]

Sometimes it's alright.

Then the parts you don't like would be the reasons you wouldn't want to learn here? I mean here it seems like you have the choice if you want to go or not. So if you choose not to, you can.

[Momiji knew he might not be able to not go due to someone he knew being here.]

[light_of_willpower]

I suppose they can't really make you, while here--but are you sure it's such a bad idea? Considering the situation we're all in, part of me wants to know what they DO teach in the schools? Besides basics like math, or writing. But what do they teach about science? What do they teach about history?

[Trunks gives a shrug, but has a gentle smile on his face anyways.]

I mean, I was home-schooled so I can't really say one way or another, but I'd have liked going to school with others if I'd had the chance.

[aka_shazam]

It's not really that big a deal. Besides, I have work and it can be a pain to fit it all in.

[hibana_incursa]

So, Peter and I have this crazy but awesome plan to build our own PS4 and order far too much take-out.

You interested in hanging out?

[aka_shazam]

Holy moly, sounds great!

Where?
