Camp Drop Post

[ihulk]

[Today, just outside of Camp's barrier there is a kid with a backpack on his shoulder. He looks pretty confused, like he doesn't know how he got there.]

Wait, what?

That's pretty good. Nothing to complain about anyway.

[the_ex_in_xp]

And I'm not complaining. About that at least. But there should be more than enough to keep you comfortable for a long time, and the way time works, we'll definitely be back by then.

[ihulk]

It--you know. Means a lot. Thanks.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Hey, you guys had some top choice picks for where to go after Camp. I have to at least make my world seem slightly cool by comparison.

[ihulk]

It's plenty cool! And at least a little normal too. Other worlds would have been nice, but I'd like to be able to finish collage without having to save the world more than once.

[the_ex_in_xp]

[nods] Saving the world is a pretty steep extra-curricular. But most of our threats are local, like your principal getting replaced by a robot uprising or riots if a Canadian team can win the Stanley Cup, but that one's a long shot. Also, thanks for not being all "ugh school" like Brianna.

[ihulk]

Are you kidding me? I could build a robot principal, that sounds like fun.

And I want to get my PhD, so of course I'm going to school. Brianna's never been the, uh, school type.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Fun but they tend to go evil, or...were designed that way. What I'm saying is there's usually some kind of upheaval beyond regular intramural sports. But hopefully that's interesting enough to get Brianna to go regularly and calm enough for you to actually enjoy learning and shit.

[ihulk]

If she got to be a hero in school she might take it. That's the way Alison should bribe her, I swear.

[the_ex_in_xp]

I don't think there's a great way to be a hero of algebra. I dunno, maybe some kind of elaborate geometry traps but... I can pass the idea along.

[ihulk]

Anything's worth a shot.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Including actual shots. Maybe I'll just try shooting at her with nerf guns to try and explain how parabolas work...

[ihulk]

I get the feeling that might make her mad too.

[the_ex_in_xp]

The math part, probably. But she has been asked to be shot at before. And...hmm, I should probably actually look at schools to see what their superpowered student policy is before I do anything, like, responsible-wise.

[ihulk]

They wouldn't kick us out of school for having superpowers, would they?

[the_ex_in_xp]

No, of course not. But some of them have stricter "no destroying buildings" or "must use superpowers for sports or study period only" rules. And Brianna miiiiight need a little leeway.

[ihulk]

You say that like she follows rules.

[the_ex_in_xp]

She follows, uh, the laws of gravity? Other than that, yeah, I got nothing. I'm just hoping for a school that's equal parts crazy but also crazy in a learning stuff way? Like conductive explosions from chemistry teachers and not the English ones.

[ihulk]

That would be ideal for me. And a school that will help me get into a good university.
