Some people want to create a perfect world. [he says, tiredly, like he has experience or something.] Or there's something they want that they can't get otherwise without starting from scratch.
...but I don't either. Otherwise they would be a lot more upfront about this whole thing. Wouldn't they?
[which is also in a tone of "doubt it" but his point stands.]
[that statement resonates with her, but. . . she already knows she wouldn't be able to get away with dragging Adora away from Etheria to some brand new pocket dimension. and honestly? she knows she shouldn't even try. after all, half of Etheria's whole mess is her fault, isn't it? and she has a responsibility to stick around and fix it, too]
[so she pushes the whole pocket dimension thing aside with a shrug of her shoulders and focuses on the second part of what Taichi says]
I think they think they are being up front. Sally already thinks we're pulling some kind of elaborate prank on her.
[catra your responsibility...but yeah, okay, he doesn't mind dropping the subject because it's sort of a sticking point for him, too, for a few reasons.]
I got that impression. Either that or they're really good actors. Not like we can tell one way or another through text. And some of their stories are already a little weird to begin with.
But okay. Let's say they really do think they're being up front. How do we fix that? [it has been four days, calm down.]
Only if you're not listening. [it will later occur to him that they are maybe thinking two different things. also catra your bromance.] But apparently it's all a part of the welcome week stuff. It'll probably phase out next week.
It gives you an idea what kind of personality they give off. Could be useful if you need to know stuff about people later.
[later, this will turn into "it will be helpful if we need a murder suspect."]
I don't know if they'll replace it with anything. We'll just have classes and homework and have to keep playing along with all of this whether we want to or not.
[i hope people think catra is suspicious because she claimed best bromance, thanks]
Is there even any consequences for not playing along? I went to that stupid class with the cats movie, and I think that's my limit for "playing along."

no subject
Define "fixing it." Are you asking how we make them take their heads out of their butts and see reason?
no subject
[WHAT IF THEY'RE BRAINWASHED????]
no subject
Yeah, I guess so. But if that's the question, none of us know enough yet to have an answer.
no subject
no subject
We learned about Cats.
[not like. actual cats. the musical Cats. the terrible singing and dancing of naked felines]
no subject
[...but he shrugs.] But I guess we also learned some stuff with those superlatives or whatever.
no subject
[seemed more like people joking around to her]

no subject
It all seemed kind of useless to me.

I was listening. I just don't see how knowing who is the "most successful" in our group is going to help me.
[they are definitely talking about two different things]
So what are they going to replace it with?

We don't know yet. But considering all the other weird stuff going on, you don't think it's possible?
no subject
I do think it's possible. But that's not a question I've asked any of the dorm heads yet.
[nts: do that asap]
no subject
but also, taichi nods because that's fair.]
If you ever find out, let me know? I'm curious myself.
no subject
Sure. I'll ask Sally or Viola the next time I talk to them.
no subject
...I should get going. [to where? doesn't matter, he would just like to be alone.] We'll catch up later?
no subject
Sure. I just wanted to ask about the Dean's List anyway.
[also this is a good ooc stopping point so we can have new threads in week 1]
