Um. Excuse me. I know there's been a lot of stuff going on, so this might not be the right time for it but-[A hesitant pause.]

Well. They said I need a guardian from now on. Could someone here do that? I think it's just to sign papers, so it doesn't matter who you are. Although I don't want Hisoka.

... Or Chrollo.

Oh. And does anyone know what I should bring to school? It's my first time going. [He pauses again, thinking if there's anything else.] That's it, I guess. Thanks.

[onearmedbandit]

[Well]

[It's not like he didn't expect this.]

What papers are they exactly?

[gonfreaky]

I don't know. I think they're to say I went to school.

[onearmedbandit]

Do you plan on actually going to school regularly?

[As in most of the week and not just once a week, or something. Kite is going to be checking all his bases here, thank you]

[gonfreaky]

Uh. Yes...?

[onearmedbandit]

[Gon, someone needs to teach you a better poker face.]

If I decide to become your guardian, then I'll be checking, you know.

[gonfreaky]

How can you check if I'll be at school? Are you going to follow me? That's kind of creepy.

[youbastard]

Depending on what kind of papers they are, I could sign them for you.

[ She pauses ] You'd think they'd give some sort of supply list for school. [ That seems rude that they don't. ] I'd assume you'd want to bring a backpack, writing utensils, maybe things to write on like notebooks? Do you know if lunch is provided or if you'd want to bring your own?

[gonstop]

IIIIIDIIOOOOOOOOT!!

[That was loud enough to be heard the ten houses down to where Gon actually is, but he still uses the phone for it.]

You cause that whole mess and this is all you say?!

[onearmedbandit]

...You realize I can just call the school and ask the teachers there, don't you?

[Gon pls]

[gonfreaky]

What?! Really!? That's not fair!

[onearmedbandit]

Sure it is. Anyone who decides to be your guardian will probably do it. After all, if you cause any trouble-

[You know, like you just did.]

-then they'll get in trouble too.

[isaytheeneigh]

What school do you plan on going to? From the sounds of it, they have different requirements.

[Though Operation Switch Schools is currently on hold for him, so he's going off word of mouth at the moment.]

voice -> video

[gonfreaky]

Ah. Hold on.

[He switches to video and it's a long, jumbled shot of bits and pieces of his room as he goes to get the papers. At least he talks while he does it.] They did send me a list, I just threw it out. I wasn't planning on going but now I've got a person who's making me.

[It's kind of annoying, honestly. Finally, he gets the papers and moves the camera over them. They're standard social-work-y papers that I'm trying to research but coming up dry.] These are the papers. A lot of them are to make sure I'm going to school.

voice; capslocking hurts

[gonfreaky]

SHUT UP! What else am I supposed to say?! They said they're going to come by everyday until I've got a guardian!

[gonfreaky]

I didn't know there were different ones. The middle school, I guess? Is there more than one of those?

[if he's got a choice can he go to one that teaches cool stuff like acrobatics and kung-fu]

[gonfreaky]

You mean you're gonna be arrested too?

[He does feel sorry for what happened to Jonathan.]

voice; we've gone full naruto you can't escape now

[gonstop]

What the hell?! Is that all you care about?! By screwing around like that, you got Jojo arrested! You probably worried a ton of people who don't even know you!

[He's practically strangling the phone at this point. As much as that helps.] Apologize before you go on about your own needs, stupid!

voice; no i'm gonna resist the narutos you can't take me

[gonfreaky]

Shut up! You don't think I know that!?

[Still, he simmers down a bit.] I'm gonna say sorry to him when I can figure out how to pay him back. That's all.

[onearmedbandit]

I could be. [He's still getting used to the laws in this place, so he's not quite sure... But he wouldn't be surprised. Especially since this is Gon.]

Why don't we make a deal? If I become your guardian, you have to go to school every day unless you're sick or it's an emergency.

For every straight week you go to school, you can get something- your favorite food or an allowance. For every straight month, I'll tell you something about Ging.

Sound fair?

voice; you've already been taken (=ↀωↀ=)✧

[gonstop]

[With Gon simmering down like that, it's easy for Killua to follow suit. He's still a little bit huffy, but if he gets it at least...]

Fine. But you can't take too long on that sort of thing. [Pride has to give way at some point.] And who's going to want to sign for you now after all that happened? You should have just gone to school with me like I told you.

[gonfreaky]

[He's not really sold until that bit about his dad.] Really?

[That's a bit of a steep price though.] ... Does it have to be a full day?

[youbastard]

[ She's trying desperately to not look amused. ] You're lucky you were able to find it. So maybe you could just go out with someone and get everything on the list?

[ His life sounds very hard. She take a second to look at the papers and shrugs. ] If you don't find someone better suited for it, I'll sign them for you. Will you actually be going?

[onearmedbandit]

[There's a bit of a smile. He knew that would get his attention.]

It does. But you're determined to find him, right? So this shouldn't be that big a deal.

voice; don't fucking emoji at me

[gonfreaky]

Ghost hunting sounded like more fun. [IT WASN'T.]

I won't take too long, don't worry. But I don't think he really wants to talk to anyone right now, either. I'll come up with something. [A beat.] Maybe you can help! I missed you, Kill-u-aa! Ghost-hunting would have been a lot more fun with you around.

[gonfreaky]

[He glances to the side quickly before responding, giving a shaky smile.] Maybe...?

I don't know if I'll buy everything. I remember there being a lot of stuff. Do I really need that many books?
