I heard you have to go.

birthclod August 30 2011, 05:41:31 UTC

... You mean it's mandatory? The covers always worked for any normal truant officer.

pokeay August 30 2011, 05:56:34 UTC

Well... to begin with, Mayfield isn't very normal, so...

Oh, I know. Miss a day of school and it's probably worth a droning. So, then. What's this school like?

The truant officer works a little different here. They'll find you if you don't go, believe me. It's a risk you probably don't want to take.

birthclod August 30 2011, 16:10:39 UTC

Right, right. The droning and milk businesses already showed me how serious they tend to be about their rules. Good grief.

What sort of fun can I expect at school?

dutying August 30 2011, 17:30:18 UTC

Them trying to feed us the information you'd expect them to.. About how evil communists are and all that. Surely you've heard stuff like that here before.

birthclod August 30 2011, 17:48:39 UTC

... Oh.

Oh, right. This is America in the 1950's, after all. Yes, we're right in the beginnings of the Red Scare. Hehehe!

You know, I wouldn't put it past the people running this town to have drones dress up as Communists, run around the blocks, and really scare up some people. And by scaring up, I mean murder.

Eh...? Have you... will this be your first time enjoying school in a while?

birthclod August 30 2011, 16:12:46 UTC

Oh, yes. There were engagements that took priority in my world... like civil wars, the end of times, and such business. Going to school seemed not as much of a priority on people's minds during all that.

fatedmagica August 30 2011, 19:56:51 UTC

I see... I'm sorry to hear that... I'm sure you must be really worried about your home world...

birthclod August 30 2011, 19:58:34 UTC

Not at all.

Most of the problems in my world were caused by men who wanted to be gods, but I'm the one who brought the "end of times".

I dunno, school's kinda boring. I had never gone to it, either. Sure beats my "job" though.

birthclod August 30 2011, 17:52:06 UTC

The privileged who received education all their lives find little value in it. The less fortunate, those denied from learning, have killed for it time and time again. It's strange, but maybe it's something we can chalk up to that inconvenient human nature yet again.

Hehe. Well.

"Job" then?

nosoul_nomind August 30 2011, 23:59:58 UTC

There wasn't a school in my town yet. So my mom and brothers kinda filled in when they could. I had more important things to do than go to school, anyway.

Yeah, at the hospital. They call it a candy striper, a volunteer, but it's pretty much just free labor.

birthclod August 31 2011, 00:11:36 UTC

The reward is that you're "doing your part for the community"... they would say. You don't seem like you're the type to appreciate all that this town as done to us. So why volunteer?
