{Proposal: Apply at Daybreak Academy} [open]

[ninehilist]

Who: Nines, anyone who runs into him
What: So thanks mostly to Lia, Nines is now working at the Academy! His luggage is 80% computers by volume and he is a tiny shrimp.
Where: Lumiere Dorms mostly
When: Early August
Warnings: None planned, but 9S does have his own warnings that can come up!

[He still can't really believed he agreed to this, but, well. Lia made several good points and if some of his trackers were right, it's possible YoRHa had managed to track him down so....honestly going to Europe? Not the worst idea he's ever had.

That would belong to "refusing to call ahead and arrange for help getting his luggage up to his assigned dorm because his luggage is mostly computers and he doesn't trust people to carry them". Despite being 5'2". In his boots. And having the physical strength of a particularly weak child. His rideshare at least got them out of the car, but now he's standing in the middle of the academy grounds, staring at the map of the academy on his phone and wondering how the hells he's going to get 100+ pounds of computer up to the fourth floor.]

I'm just saying, most people who are spice hounds go crazy for the really hot ones.

[buddinghopes]

Which also overpowers everything else, at which point you might as well stop bothering with anything else since it's gonna be lost with the feeling of your mouth being set on fire multiple times over.

[Glancing over at Becky, as if to ask "Right?"]

[lifeforced]

Yeah, if that's literally all you're gonna taste when you eat something, what even is the point in actually using anything else when you're making it?

[Yep.]

[ninehilist]

Boredom?

[Nines.]

[buddinghopes]

[Nines... pls...]

Then I hope none of us ever get that bored.

[lifeforced]

[By now, the elevator has made it up to the fourth floor. Becky is out of there at the first opportunity, stopping at the opposite end of the cart to make sure it goes straight while Lia gives it a push, which might be easier than trying to get it turned around so it can be pulled out instead.]

[ninehilist]

[Yeah, someone clearly does not like elevators. Good to know. Nines stays out of the way while the girls handle the cart, his arms full of monitors.]

What's the wifi here like, anyway?

[buddinghopes]

[Carefully pushing the cart out! And once she's out and has the room, she'll start pulling it towards 402.]

Better than you're probably expecting!

[lifeforced]

Cell reception's good, too; I haven't really had any problems with the network here or my phone, and I've been here since like the end of last September.

[ninehilist]

But how many people use the wifi at any given moment? Is there any lag, do people run stress tests on it?

[Is he gonna need to amp this up?]

[buddinghopes]

... A lot of people at any given time, I'm pretty sure. If I've experienced any lag, it was minor enough to not be memorable.

[...]

You might need to take any specifics up with Jailbreak, though.

[lifeforced]

[Becky goes on ahead to duck into 403, not actually adding anything onto Lia's response this time and instead stating:] Gonna go grab some stuff real quick, be right back.

[ninehilist]

[Nines blinks.]

The teacher who told you to forge driver's licenses?

[buddinghopes]

Only if we didn't want to take the proper tests, but yes. And also set up the obstacle course from hell for the practical part of the lesson.

[And she looks entirely too happy about recalling that.]

[lifeforced]

[It didn't take Becky long to grab what she was after, so while Lia's saying that, she returns with one of her plastic cookie boxes, this one labeled Entirely Too Much Chocolate.]

I missed seeing that by about a month.

[ninehilist]

Huh.

[A beat.]

Did she at least tell you how to forge them?

[buddinghopes]

Not in class at least. She might've told someone who came to her after. I was more interested in the vehicular combat part.

[... Because of course she was.

To Becky:] Who knows, maybe you'll get the chance to see again.

[lifeforced]

Of course you were. You've always been kind of a sucker for shit that sounds cool. [Lia you are being called out.]

If she does do it again, I'll have to; there's basically no way I can get in on it myself because Reasons, but it should be pretty fun to watch.

[ninehilist]

Why am I not surprised you went for the vehicular combat, Lia?

[He's known you for like. A month or so and he already knows this about it.

To Becky:]

Why can't you take it? There's things to help really short people drive cars, y'know.

[buddinghopes]

[Ah, called out on two sides... Lia chuckles, but doesn't say anything.]

[lifeforced]

[At this point, they're probably unloading the cart and talking at the same time. The box of cookies is set aside until after this all is done.]

I could do that, probably, but here's a couple questions for you: How old do I look, and how often do you think I'd end up getting stopped because of how old I look?

[ninehilist]

A lot less than you'd think. I don't look my age, but I rarely get carded because they assume someone who looks like me has to be legal because why the hell would I try otherwise? Just don't act nervous, and no one cares.

[buddinghopes]

[She's just focusing on getting things unloaded by this point...]

[lifeforced]

I guess. [She shrugs, seeming not entirely convinced. Her physical age has proven to be a problem before.] I'll just have to try at some point.

[ninehilist]

If all else fails, threaten to sue for discrimination. That works a good fifty percent of the time, more if you fit certain physical stereotypes and cry.
