What's the first rule of gardening? The heat is subsiding so I don't think anything will die within a day of being planted, but I'd still like to know regardless. I've never grown anything before, at least not seriously; I've heard that homegrown vegetables are better than the junk bought at supermarkets because you don't have to worry about

Hah, I'm not going to school!

[spawnedbywar]

That's your prerogative. Any particular reason why, though?

[madeinoblivion]

Two jobs. Enough stuff to do. School's boring anyway.

[spawnedbywar]

[sounds impressed] Two jobs? Aren't you an overachiever.

Not that it matters much if you find it boring, but employers like a good education. You could at lease get a better job so you won't have to balance two.

[madeinoblivion]

Aren't I a guy who needs to pay the landlord and my share of ice cream, you mean.

Nothing I'd learn in school would help me with jobs. I learn all I need to know to do my job without sitting around getting lectured at. I learned how to make movies in just a few weeks!

[spawnedbywar]

I'm surprised you can even find a place. I thought the apartments near the baseball field were off-limits after the first free month.

...Movies? How?

[madeinoblivion]

Don't live there, I live closer to the stadium with my friends.

I'm working with Mr. Cohen for our entry in the film festival. He's teaching me all the old cameras and editing stuff.

[spawnedbywar]

Must be nice to be so close to somewhere so fun. Bet you go to a lot of games, hm?

I've been thinking of attending that when I get some spare time. What's your movie about?

[madeinoblivion]

I work there, so yeah. I get to see almost all the games.

About how newcomers can be heroes.

[spawnedbywar]

Hope the teams are better than the other entertainment the city has to offer. I've only been here for a few weeks but it only took a couple days to see how boring this place really is.

[laughs] Well, given the audience you're up against, that's gonna be a controversial topic. I don't think anyone's capable of seeing us as anything more than pests.

[madeinoblivion]

I don't think it's too boring.

It's based on a true story!

[spawnedbywar]

Really? Nothing ever happens around here that doesn't have to do with the monsters or someone protesting newcomers.

Last I heard about anything remotely heroic around here was when that janitor saved that kid. It would be a good story to base a short film on.

[madeinoblivion]

See, you guessed it. Now you've got to come to the festival.

[spawnedbywar]

Maybe if there's an autograph in store. I'd hate to miss out on anything if you make it big with this.

[madeinoblivion]

An autograph? Hnh...Don't be silly about it.

[spawnedbywar]

I'm not. You don't see it happening?
