[She's used to this, following orders and directions, and even if her head is still a bit fuzzy, she knows how to do that much. She's already slid into her crewman's uniform without question. Blue-eyed with orange-dyed hair, she looks a little bit like she's ready for Halloween in this getup, but whatever.]Thumos here, student ID 44932. Uh, any

[ A teenager? Mommy senses are tingling. ]

A student? They're rocketing children into space now? [ Classy, government. Classy. ]

As for the gun, I wouldn't bother firing it unless you're planning on killing us all.

Uh, sorry ma'am, but I've been trained in firearm protocol since I was like ten, so... you don't really need to worry about me.

[She's using a perfectly respectful tone with Corazon, not trying to be bratty or uppity at all.]

[ The politeness is appreciated and she gets a small smile from Corazon. Well, right before her brow furrows in concern ]

Ten? What kind of school have you been going to?

[twinklefluff]

[Jennie's always got inherit respect for older women, especially ones with a little authority in their step.]

Cartazonos. I only got there when I was ten, some of the girls have been there their whole lives.

[The implication being that their battle training started even earlier.]

[ Battle... training... Who is making child soldier, dear lord, what did she stumble on. ]

I've never heard of it. Was it a military school?

[twinklefluff]

Nobody's heard of it, it's private.

[It was part of why she had no problem talking about it. There was no finding it if it didn't want to be found, and nosy people were generally erased by the Headmistress.]

[ There's a pause. She doesn't want to offend the girl, but there's most definitely something not right about that. ]

I'm fairly certain most governments have laws against that kind of thing.

[twinklefluff]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they do.

[It's true, and so she agrees.]

I don't know how Sparrows keeps it running, she just does.

[Jennie didn't question the Headmistress, as far as she was concerned Sparrows was all powerful and all knowing.]

[harvestsol]

Sparrows?

[ She tilts her head ] You don't seem too bothered by it, for a child held in an illegal training facility.

[twinklefluff]

The Headmistress. And I mean... I guess some of the girls don't like it, but it's my home.

[She loved her sisters, why would she be unhappy about it?]

And I'm pretty sure we'd just get into trouble if we weren't at the school.

video;

[harvestsol]

I see. What purpose were they training you for?

[ Well, who is she to question what is the girl's home? Simply another different culture, and she can't judge. ]

How so? I'm Corazon, by the way. Just 'Cory' is fine.

[twinklefluff]

Being awesome, pretty much. Sparrows has this really cheesy line about changing the world through passion.

[Aka that crazy alien lady wants to take over the world, Jenn.]

There's a volcano named Corazon. I think it's a pretty cool name as it is.

[harvestsol]

[ a soft laugh at 'being awesome'. ] Seems like a very decent thing to be trained in. Changing the world how?

[ s-sob, just let Cory adopt you and take you away from the bad lady, dear ]

Yes, in Ecuador, very good. Thank you. Your free to use whichever you wish, of course. And what's yours?

[twinklefluff]

Making it a better place. I mean... we're smart and we're strong, so when we do shit we'll do it right. Cause dudes fuck everything up.

[Yeup.]

And I totally knew it was Ecuador, I'm way better at Geography than Calculus.

[She beams proudly.]

I'm Jennie. Uh.... I mean. Thumos.

[Good job, Jenn.]

video;

[harvestsol]

That's the theory, but usually isn't so easy in practice. I'm sure you'll have a leg up, at least. [ A smile as she tries not to laugh at the 'dude's fuck everything up' bit ] They're occasionally good for something. Such as heavy lifting.

Calculus isn't that fun of a thing to be better at anyway. Once people know you can do it you get stuck with it. [ Scientist woes~ ]

It's nice to meet you, Thumos. [ But that's interesting... Filing 'Jennie' away for later note. ]

[twinklefluff]

We got girls that can do that too. [Jennie flexes an arm in demonstration.] Our battle tactics instructor has guns like a fuckin' python.

[And she's a depressive alcoholic, but whatever.]

We're kind of... all supposed to be able to do Calculus, and everything. Like, the teachers get pissed off if we mooch off each other, but it doesn't really stop some people, yanno?
