[Normally this is something Genda would never do, but from what he's figured out from just skimming the network the pool of information is a lot more widespread then just one city. That will take too long in regards to one objective.]


The standard syllabus that I've been capable of finding seems overly generic, and hardly tailored for those who did not grow up in this culture. Is this schooling mandatory or are there specialized accelerated programs specifically for those not from here?

[A few moments later, as if added as an after thought.]

Who scored the second point in the Teikoku vs. Raimon elimination match, and what was the final score?

Yeah, no problem.

I guess I should also say "welcome".

oh my god I'm so sorry gmail ate a bunch of my notifs.

[beastfang]

Thank you. Even with the implications of such a file, the ability to settle into this place easier is appreciated.


[Because nothing says I'm not one to bother with then someone who keeps their head down after all.]

don't worry :) i think that happens to all of us at one point or another

[resipiscent]

You intend to, then? Not everyone does.

[beastfang]

Would rebelling be of any significant effect, when so much relies on cooperation with that which one must rebel against?

[resipiscent]

Depends on what you believe, I think. There are people whose belief is that cooperating is going against their own integrity. For those people, even if cooperating would make their lives significantly less complicated, they don't want to.

[beastfang]

Open rebellion when in a position of significant weakness is a hot headed impulse that will result in loses the one rebelling may not be ready to lose.

However, their choices are their own, regardless of how it ripples out to affect others.

[resipiscent]

I'd hope that if a person decided to do that, they'd understand that they're possibly giving all that up. But I'm not so sure quite everyone is that smart, either... And you're right.

[beastfang]

Logic is a lost cause with many when they have a belief they believe is being trampled underfoot. It's just a common fact many seem surprised by, despite all evidence given to them.

[resipiscent]

Well... that's their problem, I guess. I'm not too concerned about what everyone else is doing. Whether registration is right for you or not is a personal decision, and the answer is always different.

[beastfang]

While the choice and consequences are personal, it's the collective mindset that is more of the concern if one is to actually worry over the ramifications of such.

It's too early to tell or form an opinion regarding such though, so I'll not comment more on such.


[Because Genda has pretty much concluded someone is using that divide for their own gain. He just doesn't know the how or why of such, and if it'll affect him and those close to him.]

[resipiscent]

I guess my advice on that is just to pay attention. But you seem that type to begin with, so I don't think I need to tell you.

[beastfang]

It's still sound advice that bears repeating at times.

[resipiscent]

That may be.

[He considers, uncertain what to write past this, and then -- oh, right.]

Riku, by the way.

[beastfang]

Genda.

Thank you for your view on this Riku.
