[ NO FILTERS, NO LOCKS, FINAL DESTINATION ]

So what do you all do?

[perfektsymmetry]

What do you mean, exactly?

[olympicswimmer]

There's twenty-four hours in a day. How do you use 'em?

[perfektsymmetry]

Oh, well... I have a job and school, I do sports, combat training and shooting practice... not to mention dealing with anything Mayfield might throw at you too. Finding time to myself is the hard part, really.

[olympicswimmer]

How old are you?

[perfektsymmetry]

Ah, I'll be 17 in two months, actually... why do you ask?

[olympicswimmer]

I dunno how long people had to go to school in ancient times.

[perfektsymmetry]

Ancient times? [He laughs.] I'm a junior, if that helps. And the school year runs from September to June. Can I ask what year you're from?

[olympicswimmer]

2009.

[perfektsymmetry]

[He laughs a little again.] I'm from 2010. The school year here isn't any different than the American school year from our time, either.

[olympicswimmer]

Except that no one wears poodle skirts.

[perfektsymmetry]

Right. Those things do look pretty ridiculous.

[olympicswimmer]

So I missed summer break, huh?

[perfektsymmetry]

Unfortunately. We'll be gettingn some time off for Thanksgiving and Christmas though, so there's something to look forward too.

[olympicswimmer]

Sure. I guess.

[perfektsymmetry]

You must really hate school, yeah?

[olympicswimmer]

I've only been kicked out of six of them.
