♫ Third Jam ♫ [Backdated to the 22nd; after the Shadow plot]

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Ugh, that took forever. And I still have homework to do. This sucks, man.

I haven't even done half of what I'm supposed to, and there's a paper due next week! I am so screwed. Please tell me there's some excuse I can give that won't make my teachers want to punish me with even more work.

Looks like the party I wanted is gonna turn into a homework party...

th-that icon DON'T GIVE ME THAT FACE RISE ;A; /wibbles

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Dammit, that's totally lame. I was looking forward to it too.

I'M SAD, SHARE MY SAD

[satellite_idol]

I'm totally behind too! Do you think you could help me with some stuff?

/SHARES. WE CAN BE SAD TOGETHER

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Oh, totally! I'm... not the best in some areas, but if you want help, Rise, I can definitely try!

[knowsnoshame]

There are a couple of ways you could pull it off to get at least an extra day.

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Yeah, if I pull an all-nighter. Which never works for me, because I end up falling asleep in class the next day.

[knowsnoshame]

I mean an extra day after the deadline. Which might mean an all nighter anyway, but maybe you could separate it between two.

...though I must say, you have amazing stamina to stay awake in class after all that rescuing. I fell asleep at work a few times and most people think I never run out of energy.

[stripping]

They won't take 'I was busy saving my friends' lives' as a justified reason for a homework extension?

[mnkeywrenchjams]

I wish, man. Unfortunately those kinda excuses are about as good as "the dog ate my homework." Which I've tried before, believe me.

[stripping]

It's a shame that the honest truth is unbelievable. If your parents know about what you did, you could always ask them to say that you were ill.

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Dude, Teddie lives at my house, forget them believing anything he says. I had to convince them he was some foreign exchange student, from somewhere really, really, really far away.

[akihiko_sanada]

Better to just man up and do it, Yosuke-kun. When we were fighting in Tartarus, I still pulled straight A's. It's a matter of determination and perseverance!

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Straight A's?! Dude, that's crazy, Akihiko-senpai! I haven't gotten an A since- I can't even remember when. It was a while ago.

But I guess you're right. Rise says she needs help with her homework, so maybe we can all get together as a group or something, and work on stuff together.

[akihiko_sanada]

Well, it was a lot of work, but it paid off. Now I have options about where I can go once I've saved up enough money for tuition, and I can probably get some scholarships, too.

If you need any help, let me know!

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Nice! I'm totally jealous, man.

Will do, thanks, Akihiko-senpai.

[truthinfortune]

I'm not really much motivated to do anything. I only just woke up now...

Just let me get some coffee in my system and I'll be ready shortly. We should probably study some place quiet, such as Senpai's house.

[mnkeywrenchjams]

You're telling me, Naoto. I feel like I've been hit by a truck or something.

Hey, that sounds like a good idea. I'm sure Partner wouldn't mind. Issei might be coming along too, to help where he can. That okay?

[truthinfortune]

Me? It feels as though I'm walking through molasses. I slept for eighteen hours straight, and I still don't feel refreshed. I don't want to lie in bed all day, but I've just been feeling rather "blah" for the past few days.

Of course he can. Issei-kun is always welcome to drop by when he wants.

Um... I know this will sound a bit awkward, but can I bring Cordelia along? I don't want to leave her in the house all alone, not until she's acclimated to her new environment.

[mnkeywrenchjams]

Damn, I can blame you, really. We've been going after Shadows for two weeks straight. I don't think we ever did something that intense during the case.

Awesome, just making sure.

Huh? Oh, sure! I don't mind. Pretty sure Partner won't mind either.
