So things with the shop are finally expanding, and I still find myself questioning if this is real. [With Sunny and Lemony here now, she's sure she's going to wake up from some wonderful dream only to realize she's still in the clutches of Olaf.]

But I was thinking about school. I know I'm technically too old for it, but has anyone ever tried such a thing here? I know nothing can really do much, but I know I've learned a lot about engineering here, and I'm always seeing people requesting others to teach English or Math.

It's just an idea.

You think getting your GED here counts? Because that's something I really want to do.

[signedlefthanded]

I don't know if it counts, but at least you could have it. I mean I would like to go to college, but there's nothing like that here nor would the degree mean much-- except to me.

[waterproofed]

I'd like to at least feel a little less lost when I'm around you and Lemony.

[signedlefthanded]

I've never felt like you weren't.

[waterproofed]

Eh, well, we all play to our strengths, right?

[signedlefthanded]

You are smart, Percy.

[waterproofed]

Smart enough to know when to get out of the way for the brainiacs.

[signedlefthanded]

I think you think too highly of me. I'm just good at building things.

[waterproofed]

And you don't think high enough of yourself. You're awesome, Vi. You're smart, pretty, really brave, kind, loyal, resourceful... I can go on but you get the idea.

[kid_apocalypse]

I think it's a good idea, but with people coming and going all the time, it might be hard to keep lessons consistent between teachers.

[signedlefthanded]

Some of us have been here for years.

[kid_apocalypse]

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that. That could be an idea; getting someone who's been here for a while, or at least seems like they're gonna stick around to teach people like...I dunno, the basics, or whatever people want covered.

[signedlefthanded]

There are enough of us.

[kid_apocalypse]

And there's a lot of us that are school age, I'm noticing too. I'm 14 myself, but the school I was going to was a little...different than a typical private school.

[signedlefthanded]

You are lucky. I haven't been to school since I was 14.

[kid_apocalypse]

Really? That's no good! We'll have to see if we can find someone interested in teaching then, won't we?

[signedlefthanded]

I had a teacher once, but he left some time ago.

[kalinda]

Why not take up independent studies? It's much more effective than a classroom as far as learning is concerned.

[signedlefthanded]

Oh, I have. But I'd like more of a classroom setting-- seeing what more of a group can do.

[kalinda]

Makes sense. I know there have been some people offering in the past, but nothing solid.

[signedlefthanded]

Do you remember who?

[kalinda]

I kept seeing the name Raine Sage popping up.

[signedlefthanded]

I'll have to look them up. A man named Mohinder taught me for awhile, but he left awhile ago.

[kalinda]

Yeah, I wouldn't be too useful in that capacity-- unless you wanted to learn proper gun control.

[signedlefthanded]

I have never handled a gun before.
