⓶ [Phone Call/Action]

[brb_inventing]

Man, going to school really sucks. I didn't have to back home, and everything is so boring. I learn more from breaking things than I do from teachers, you know? But If I don't go, I'm going to end up like one of those drones. It's so lame. Please tell me there's, like, totally something fun to do around here. Otherwise, I'm going to go nuts there,

[After school, he approaches the red-haired girl who looks a little lonely, and he smiles.]

Hey.

[brb_inventing]

[Oh, it's...a guy is approaching her?! She doesn't know what to say.]

Um...hi! How's it going?

[ontoinfinity]

[A shrug.]

Not bad. What are you doing?

[brb_inventing]

Oh, um...just people watching, y'know? The drones act kinda funny, and they move differently, too.

[ontoinfinity]

They do, don't they? It's like they should move like a regular person, but they don't. It's unsettling.

[brb_inventing]

Yeah, but it's also kind of funny. They're really stiff, like a snobby adult. At least, that's what I think.

[ontoinfinity]

[He's quiet for a moment as he examines the drones.]

You know, you're sort of right. They do act like they're all posh.

[brb_inventing]

They do! But, wait, um. What's posh?

[ontoinfinity]

You know, rich. Fancy.

[brb_inventing]

Oh, now I get it! Haha, totally. Man, I feel sorry for 'em.

[ontoinfinity]

Do you know if any of them were ... like us? Or were they always like that?

[brb_inventing]

Yeah. I heard some of 'em used to be like us, but I don't know how many. It's pretty sad, though.

[ontoinfinity]

That is sad. Do you know anyone who ... turned?

[brb_inventing]

No, I haven't really been here that long. So...not yet, I guess is a better answer, huh?

[ontoinfinity]

That you have to add 'yet' to that sentence doesn't really make it better.
