oh look another post about school [text]

[hetried]

The school year just started, right? Can't believe it's already spring again...

[Well uh, "again" was kind of a relative term since he certainly hadn't been here for a year but still.]

But it's not REALLY mandatory to attend here like it is at home, is it? At least, maybe not for us, they said it wasn't necessary a little... Besides, we've gone this long without it, right? I don't know, with everything that's gone on, I just feel like it's kind of pointless. I'd much rather spend my time helping out around here. Though I guess I haven't done much of that lately...

Maybe we could just skip straight to University? Except I wouldn't know what to study anyway...

Augh! Work is for losers! ヽ(●-`Д´-)ノ

What kind of job would you get? If you decided to to do that, I mean.

[hetried]

I'm not really sure. I guess that's sort of the problem, I'm not really that good at anything to help in the real world.
I guess I could always join the law enforcement here though, if I really had to. Everyone around here already knows about Personas and Demons at least.

[blessed_by_the_world]

I bet you're good at a lot of things.

Wow! A policeman? You must be really brave.

[Coming from Ikebukuro, she can imagine that a cop's job is very dangerous.]

[hetried]

Not unless you count playing video games and messing around as "a lot of things."

B-Brave? I don't know... I'm just sort of used to it? Before I came here I was sort of working for a prevention kind of organization anyway.

[JP's is complicated on facebook.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Everyone is good at something!

[Ah, the simple beliefs of youth...]

You did? What was that like?

[hetried]

[Ah, if only you didn't have to go through the awful days of High School.]

Maybe, but I'm not sure it's really anything useful.

Oh, yeah-- back home these aliens basically invaded from outerspace, and unleashed demons along with them because they wanted to wipe out humanity. I had to help this weird, secret government sect to stop them.
I'm pretty sure that the organization's dissolved now, though.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Aliens and demons? That sounds really scary.
You really are brave!

[hetried]

It was pretty scary at first, not gonna lie.
I don't know if I was really that brave, I didn't really have any choice in the matter since they were trying to destroy my home.
But I don't think I would've made it out of that without my friends, anyway.
Besides, I'm sure you can be just as brave as I can!

[blessed_by_the_world]

Sounds pretty brave to me.
I'm gonna work hard and get stronger so I can fight monsters and protect people too!

[Because she's finally in a place where she might be able to make a real difference. Although half of this is just youthful exuberance.]

[hetried]

That sounds like a better plan to me.
I'm not that great at "Persona," but let me know if you want any help, alright? I'm pretty good at fighting, at least. And it sounds like a way better use of time. ヽ(´ー`)ﾉ

[Hey, there was something to be said for the energy of youth!]

[blessed_by_the_world]

You can fight?

[Is there anything he can't do? Seriously though, he's coming off as really impressive so far. ]

Do you think you could teach me?
Please?
Or if you know someone else who can teach fighting that would be really helpful!

[hetried]

[She'll be severely disappointed once she finds out what an idiot he is then--]

Ah, sure!
I mostly learned by necessity, to be honest.
But I know a few things, and I know others who know how to fight too.
It'll be no problem!

[blessed_by_the_world]

Really?
That's great!
Thank you so much!
When can we start?

[She's eager. And in for such a disappointment when he isn't quite the brave hero she's imagining him to be.]

[hetried]

[It'll be one hell of a life lesson, that's for sure.]

Whenever you want!
My schedule's pretty flexible right now.
Just give me some time to talk to some friends and figure out what to do.

[blessed_by_the_world]

I don't have much going on besides school.
Let me know when you've talked to your friends.
Maybe a weekend would be good?

[hetried]

Sure! Weekends'll be easy, and should still leave us all some free time too.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Great!
I'm really looking forward to meeting you and your friends.

[Because you are all some kind of secret agent super hero team, right?]
