Oh the Humanity!: Friendship is International Adventure, Thursday, period 1

Mar 17, 2016 00:39

"Top o' th' mornin' to ye all!" Pinkie greeted the students as they arrived for class. Somepony had spent the evening googling St. Patrick's Day. Somepony also had a series of large, strategically placed shamrocks attached to her, like a festive, awkwardly shaped bikini ( Read more... )

They're wandering around here, somewhere!

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 04:42:43 UTC

Eliot was, perhaps unsurprisingly, in the poison garden.

"Huh. Always wondered what that looked like in plant form."

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 17 2016, 05:02:35 UTC

It was getting to be a habit, Kathy hunting down Eliot during class, but this time it was super-important. She had something in a folder to show him.

"Eliot!" she squeed. "Eliot! Eliot! Eliot!"

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 05:04:21 UTC

"Kathy!" Eliot grinned. "Somethin' tells me you're not just super excited to be in Ireland."

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 17 2016, 05:17:32 UTC

"Maybe I really like kissing rocks," Kathy said, tossing her hair. "You don't know my hobbies."

Except for how he did. He mentored those hobbies, after all.

"I have something to show you!" she continued, reaching into her bag and pulling out her folder. Inside was a letter from a certain university he might have heard about. Once or twice.

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 05:25:34 UTC

"Pretty sure you don't have time for any hobbies I ain't at least heard about," Eliot pointed out. He leaned over to take a look, noticing the letterhead. He wasn't even a little bit surprised. "Well hell, darlin'! Congratulations!"

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 17 2016, 05:30:52 UTC

"Looklooklook!" Kathy said, beaming. "They're waiving my tuition, too, Eliot! Accepted with a scholarship!"

She really would be able to talk about something else soon, but it had barely been two days. And Eliot had helped her get in.

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 15:24:05 UTC

"Never doubted it for a moment." Well. He knew how unfair the world was, so he had, actually. He just had several contingency plans in place if they didn't get her a scholarship. "They get you room and board, too? Or is that what your consultancy fees are for?"

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 17 2016, 17:28:49 UTC

"Well, they haven't calculated financial aid yet, so I might get more, but I'm also moving in with my roommate, Raven. We're going to look for a place nearby campus, unless I somehow get magically, extremely lucky with the housing lottery and end up being able to choose an apartment that's actually on campus."

Though, as a freshman, how lucky could she possibly get?

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 17:52:14 UTC

"They do a lottery for housing?" Eliot, having never been to college and only really knowing about it from movies and a job in which people had tried -- amateurishly -- to torture him, had absolutely no idea how any of that worked. "Raven's going to the same school, huh? She get a scholarship, too?"

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 17 2016, 18:01:48 UTC

"Yup," Kathy said. "The computer generates a date and time for you to log in and sign up for your preferred housing and depending on where you are, there's more housing available for you to claim. Freshmen generally get lowest priority, though, so who knows? We'll probably have to search off-campus. But it's worth it to get to keep living with Raven."

She was already leaving one best friend behind after she graduated, she'd be damned if she'd leave the other!

"She's not going to Stanford. She didn't want to go to college." Which Kathy absolutely did not get, but would be supportive of anyway. "But Stanford's about an hour away from San Fran and a short flight away from LA, so she's got options for what to do next."

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 19:24:25 UTC

"They let non-students live on campus?" Eliot asked. "Off campus might be a better compromise, too, if she's gonna be travellin' a lot."

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 17 2016, 19:58:01 UTC

Kathy nodded. "On-campus will likely be cheaper, but it could get complicated." She blushed. "I was thinking about asking Mr. Hardison if he'd be able to list Raven in the housing system just so we could live on campus if that's what was easiest. But we're going to have to go out there and explore for sure."

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 20:47:59 UTC

"He could, yeah." Eliot's opinion of Hardison's hacking skills were equivalent to Hardison's of Eliot's fighting skills: it was fucking magic and he could do anything. "We can help out other ways if you need, too. Hell, you keep up the crime fightin' while you're studyin', and I don't mind seein' about setting you up with a salary for that."

Or, you know, a salary for existing in the world. But he figured Kathy would insist on there be some sort of 'work' being done to 'earn' the money.

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 17 2016, 21:08:06 UTC

Of course she would! She didn't want to take advantage!

"Would that mean that I'd actually be working for Leverage?" Kathy asked, looking excited. "Subcontracting for, if nothing else?"

A way for her to continue to be Banzai, even while taking classes? That would be very hard to say no to.

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 17 2016, 21:43:00 UTC

"Don't see why not. We're apparently going to end up with all sorts of interns and things." Or, you know, children. However you wanted to name them. "You're doin' good work. Someone oughta make sure you can afford to eat while you're at it."

She'd be able to afford a hell of a lot more than that. Leverage paid incredible wages.
