Re: 003; voice/action for Saffron

[a certain kid on the network this evening has, having stayed mostly quiet except to catch up with friends after that train disaster, finally decided to pipe up-- to ask something those who know him probably... would not expect for him to ask.]

[there is a good reason for it, though.]

I know that the point of traveling around this world is to work with and learn about Pokémon, but... does anybody else besides me miss going to school?

[because studying somehow seems like a plausible method to recapturing and hanging on to whatever vagrant memories he might not know about, of course. that supposed brain fart about Hollow Bastion a week ago was enough to really rattle his confidence.]

[Saffron Pokécenter visitors might spot this studious teen situated in a quiet corner, a large notebook open across his lap. whether he's scrawling out notes or a hilariously bad drawing, it's hard to tell at a passing glance.]

I do not, though I have not been in school for a few years now.

However, I do miss my job.

Really? Where did you work?

[hello there, Mama Minnie! Sora is completely wrapped up in his.... drawing, it looks like.]

[well, it's a series of circles and boxes with smoke billowing from the top, and an oddly shaped heart in the center-- a crude, but mostly accurate representation of Hollow Bastion.]

[School? Why would he miss going to that stupid place? Okay, so he's school is different than most schools and some people there think that it's an amazing place full of superpowers, but... No. Just no.]

Hell no. That place was the worst.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... It couldn't have been that bad, right?

[loseyoursenses.livejournal.com]

I do miss it sometimes. Not necessarily the lessons, but being in a place with all my friends nearby.

Although now that I think of it, I miss the lessons, too. I shudder to think how poorly I'd do on a test after being here so long.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I don't even remember what the last thing I took a test on was. [it was probably a math or history test of some sort. he probably squeaked by on an average grade, too-- not out of being stupid, but homework and studying tended to fall below spending time with his friends on Sora's list of priorities.]

But I bet it'd all come back to us if we ever went home and back to school. You don't forget that kind of stuff that easily, right?

[bakaitoukid]

Why would you miss going to school?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You don't even miss it just a tiny bit, Kaito?

[tripping-idol.livejournal.com]

I do!

Well, sometimes. School is important too, though.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I never really thought that I'd miss school, to be honest. But now it kind of feels like I'm starting to forget everything.

[ Xion walks in after finishing up a quick job before spotting Sora. She manages to make her way over to him and peer over his shoulder. ]

Sora?

[if Xion catches a glimpse of his drawing, she might see what looks like a castle. a very, very poorly drawn castle, but it helps to get what he sees in his mind somewhere tangible.]

Xion, hey! How're you feeling?

[gergogergo.livejournal.com]

You got to go to school? What's it like?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Boring, mostly! But it wasn't so bad if you liked what you were learning about, or if you were in classes with your friends.

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

A little, yeah.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

What kind of things did you study back home? Maybe we can set up a small school here or something.

[ video ]

[uuing]

Uu-? Why would you miss going to school..? Sure, school might be fun, but Maria thinks travelling around with new Pokémon friends is even more fun.

[ video ]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Well... yeah, that's a lot of fun too, but... I can't really think of a better way to remember things than to start studying again.

[Bro, have a surprise tap on the shoulder. Riku's just chillin' with Flare and Zen, though his other Pokémon are probably hanging around, too.]

You seriously miss school?

[BRO-- after he jumps about a mile, Sora shoots him a very slightly exasperated look. it's only because that startled the heck out of him.]

You don't?

[This is totally not Pinkie, what are you talking about? Pinkie has pink hair! This lady has blonde. It's a wig.]

Oh gosh, I haven't been to school in ages.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Ah, hey, Pink-- ie.... [wait a minute.]

[......]

You haven't? What kinda things did you study back home?

[voice]

[combat_butler]

... I miss the people I would meet there, more than the school experience itself.

[voice]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yeah... My world's so small I went to school with all the same people, though. Ever since I was little.

[youfartknocker.livejournal.com]

Uh, huh huh huh. No way, nerd. Uh, huh huh huh. School is for losers. Uh, huh huh huh.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Care to explain why?

[voice]

[craftingrebel]

I don't really miss school. I just... miss the friends who aren't here.

[voice]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Were they ever here at one point? You might write them a few letters.

Voice

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Well it's been a while since I was in school. But I'm curious about how things like that work here. Schools are an important thing to have after all.

[hello, Mr. Mason!]

I don't think there really is a school other than the Trainer one back in Johto... But, what kind of work did you do back home?

[video]

[noodlegoggles]

[this is a baffling question-- who would eve-- he pauses and closes his mouth.] Well... yeah, kinda. I guess. I just hope I don't have a pile of homework when I get back. I know time's supposed to stop back home, but still!!

[newhero.livejournal.com]

-- You don't think... we could get held back a year when we get back home?

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

... school?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Right! Would you be interested in going to one if it opened up?

[usedrawr.livejournal.com]

Schhhooool. [ he's tossing the word in his head for a moment, wondering about it. the place yosuke and sensei went on a regular basis... ] I never went to school before.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Really? How come?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I suppose I miss going to school at least a little bit. It would be fun to learn new things again.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Hey, Rika! Would you be interested in taking a few classes here?

video!

[hibiscushield.livejournal.com]

[ She never thought she would say this, but she actually does miss it quite a bit. ]

It makes me a little homesick, I'll admit. [ A little more gently: ] I... I miss getting to see my friends every day.

video!

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I think that's the big part that a lot of people miss-- getting to see their friends.

You know what I do when I get homesick, though?

[video]

[adamant]

I was pretty glad it was over, myself.

[ The question piques his interest. If anyone ever struck Leon as a book type of person..........Sora wasn't them. ]

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You didn't like school, Leon?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Not really. The ones who could afford education back home had their own tutors. [A pause.] What's it like? Going to school?

[Video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You had to pay to learn where you're from, Merlin? And it's-- well, I guess you don't realize how much you like it until you miss it. It's a good way to spend time with friends.
