Ninth Strike - [Voice]

[Well, after Presea had seen a few people singing over the journals, and especially after talking to Mrs. Brisby a few days ago, Presea decides it's high time she joined the cool people and sang something over the journals as well. For her daddy to hear. Now, even though all of her logical side was blaring loudly the improbability of that ever

That's a beautiful song.

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

Others sing. ...Common occurrence. [And, just to be kind of polite.] Thank you.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

I'd say it's only a common occurrence if you have a singing voice. I don't think I could do a song like that justice.

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

Mommy taught me. ...Song for Alicia and daddy. [Presea pauses while she contemplates just why she's telling this nameless woman's voice this. It wasn't any of her business, really, but Presea was...lonely? Depressed? Bored? No, surely not. Just sick. That's why she felt funny.] Someone said a song would reach daddy.

...Probability low.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

Mm, even so, doesn't the thought of your song reaching your father make you feel better?

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

[WHY YOU ASK HER THESE HARD QUESTIONS? Sob. It takes Presea a while to think over her words and fish for the best and honest answer. What she finds out seems to kind of shock her a little.]

Y-Yes...

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[Because she's Gelda. She can't not do these sort of things.]

Then, there's no harm in singing. Besides, I'm sure everyone who was listening enjoyed your song just as much as I did.

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

...Perhaps. [She doesn't care if people liked it or not. It wasn't for them, it was for her family. To hell with everyone else. B|] What is you name?

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

I'm Gelda Nebilim, one of the teachers at the local school. [Totally not trying to lure this girl in as a student, or anything.] And you are?

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

School? [Hm, yes, she recalls reading about the school in the guide, but never really found interest in it. Maybe she'll give it a shot and see what she can learn. Presea is always on a quest for new information.] ...Presea Combatir.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[She knows that name. She's heard it before and she knows exactly who Presea is. She also knew Presea arrived in Luceti, but didn't really have a clue what she looked like. Then the Alicia she's referring to must be...]

... It's a pleasure to meet you, Presea.

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

[As per usual, she doesn't address the whole "pleasure to meet you" business, and gets straight to the point--]

What is taught at the school?

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[It's a good thing she knows why Presea is so emotionless, or she might start to wonder if it runs in the family.]

Oh, all sorts of classes. You can imagine we have a few limitations, as not all worlds are the same. Still, all the basics are covered. [... Insert the list of classes that Gelda-mun is too lazy to look up because she lost the direct link to the school post.]

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

[The little woodcutter listens silently to the woman list off the topics of study. She looks down into her journal and tilts her head to one side lazily.]

...Requirements to join classes? [She's actually pretty interested in joining the school program to learn a few things.]

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

You need to take an entrance test, so we can ascentain which difficulty of classes would suit you best. Other than that, there are no requirements.

[Voice]

[not_klonoa]

When and where are the exams given? [Yes, she's definitely going to give school a go. If she can learn things that are beneficial to her here, then that's just awesome.]
