I didn't know we had to go to school here! I've never gone to school before! Do I get graded on fighting monsters?! On saving the world?!

I don't know how to live my life now! Please send help. I've currently melted onto the floor of my room and can't get up.

uh
really??

[gabutyra]

What do I do?!

[notjohnsmith]

...How old are you?

[maiditoutalive]

wait
youre serious about the melting
i was just being sarcastic

[gabutyra]

20!

[gabutyra]

I didn't really melt. I just feel like I melted.

[notjohnsmith]

You don't need to go to school.

Although if you've never been, it's still probably a good idea.

[gabutyra]

Oh, really?!

Well, I spent my life traveling all over with my dad.

[notjohnsmith]

It's only required until age 18.

Still, when it comes to employment prospects, not to mention Socratic value judgments about the value of human existence, it's probably best to discover what it is that you don't know and try to learn more. Even if omniscience is impossible for normal mortals, something a little less ambitious in that direction might still be a noble goal to strive towards.

[gabutyra]

I . . . like dinosaurs.

[notjohnsmith]

That's nice.

[gabutyra]

But he's not here.

[notjohnsmith]

There is a dinosaur, though.

In any case, seeing if there are placement tests or adult education classes is probably a good place to start.

[gabutyra]

Wheeeeeeeere?

Do I have to?

[notjohnsmith]

As an adult, shouldn't you be capable of taking these kind of steps on your own?

Although, if a lack of education really left you that unprepared after all...

With the Visitor's Center destroyed, asking the hospital staff in the new arrivals wing is probably your best source of information. Given how often they're completely ignored and disregarded, it';s not difficult to imagine that they might actually be pleased to field a friendly inquiry by someone behaving responsibly.

[gabutyra]

I can do that! I can definitely do that!

[notjohnsmith]

...Ganbatte?

[gabutyra]

Thanks!

What's your name?

[notjohnsmith]

You can call me Kyon.

[gabutyra]

You can call me King!

[captainkink]

You really need to stop doing that.

[gabutyra]

Captaaaaaiiiiiin.

[ whine ]

[captainkink]

Stop bitching. School isn't that bad.

[gabutyra]

Doesn't being home schooled count anymore!?

[captainkink]

Not normally, no.
