[ Hello, imPorts. Have one still-settling-in newbie. The comm tag reads Lana Baumgartner. She seems a little put off. ]

Look, the state-funded housing is nbd, but do they seriously expect me to be a superhero AND a high school student AND a part-time "pharmacist assistant?" Like, is that a joke? [ Both the heavy work load and the crack at her being a literal science experiment. ] Uncool.

But yeah, whatever. If you live in House 20, then hi, I'm your new roommate or whatever. If you don't then, uh, mind your own business?

Lana out.

You don't really gotta do anything.

[bombshelled]

Yeah? And they'll keep paying rent and buying food and shit? No [ probation officers ] authorities to check up on us?

[hostage]

Long as you're Registered, I never heard of anybody getting kicked out for skipping school or work. And nobody ever forces you to show up and do the superhero thing.

text; comm tag is "Hiro"

[microbrobotics]

ha ha, you're still stuck in school. sucks to be you.

[bombshelled]

yeah whatever, better than the alternative.

[ The alternative in question being jail. ]

[walkingballpit]

Did you really just acronym outloud?

[bombshelled]

Did you really just care?

[runout]

Easy fix, whatever part of that you don't want to do? Don't do it.

[bombshelled]

Yeah? Guess that makes sense. I mean, what's the worst they can do, send me home?

[goldenlegacy]

Pick and choose as you prefer. No one really minds, as far as I can tell.

[...unless you're really young, but.]

Personally, I ceased attendance weeks ago.

[bombshelled]

Let me guess. School here's just as lame as school back home.

[viced]

You don't have to do the whole superheroing thing, you know.

[bombshelled]

'Kay, but that's like the one thing out of the three I kind of actually want to do.

The jobs are good about working with students. They're just so you can have the extra income-- it's worth it.

[Most of the time.

One time Rin flat out skipped a full shift once to go swim with a friend. Claimed, like, huge test. It wasn't his best moment and he's a terrible liar.]

voice;

[bombshelled]

Okay. Maybe I'll check it out. 'Cept it's not like I know anything about pharmacy stuff.

[bestversion]

Hi, I live in House 20 too.

[bombshelled]

Oh, awesome. Hey, I'm Lana.

Nobody says you have to be a superhero. But they probably do expect you to show up to high school.

[ Says the high school student. ]

[bombshelled]

[ Lana's pretty sick of all the conflicting responses at this point. Be a hero, don't be a hero. Go to school, don't go to school. ]

It's really the part time job I'm thinking of ditching, if anything.

[powerkicks]

No one's going to come around and force you.

[ thankfully. she'd been lucky enough to just escape the school bracket too, although she probably wouldn't have gone to it anyways. ]

video

[bombshelled]

Yeah, that's what people are saying. I guess I just have to figure out what I want to do.

video.

[selfequipped]

Do you want to be a superhero?

video.

[bombshelled]

Well, I've never worked at a pharmacy, and I kind of suck at high school. Being a superhero's the only thing on the list I'm at least moderately good at.

Besides, isn't that why we're here?

[ No ID printed, but Peej is in costume so it's quite apparent there's a superheroine in the feed. ]

I think it's manageable, but it all depends on the person.

Seconding the above question: do you?

video

[bombshelled]

Like I told the other girl, yeah, I think I do. I mean, it's what I was trying to do back home, anyway.

And I don't know if I'm really the right kind of person.

[ Also, totally judging your costume choices. ]
