{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.]

[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.

[buddinghopes]

Pffff-

[Nope, we are covering that up with a cough.]

[lifeforced]

[Becky opens her mouth.

Then closes it.

Then opens it again and lets out a droning 'i' sound like she's starting to say something but she's not sure if she really wants to.

Then stops herself and closes her mouth again.

Then after a brief pause, she opens it one more time, and—] Are you seriously telling me to play that card. [Yes, yes, he is.]

[ninehilist]

Yeah? If they're going to be assholes, be one back.

[buddinghopes]

[Okay, nope, can't hold it in anymore, she's snickering.]

[lifeforced]

[Lia PLEASE.]

Let's say I wanna keep my options open. Got any good Not Asshole suggestions?

[ninehilist]

Pay a hacker to delete your records?

[buddinghopes]

[There's a muttered 'good lord' as Lia finally gets to the heaviest boxes in the cart.

She does not seem to have any further input.]

[lifeforced]

[There's a pause as she appears to be considering the idea seriously.]

I could bribe Jailbreak with cookies, probably. Most people that've had 'em before say that they're really, really good.

[BECKY.]

[ninehilist]

Is Jailbreak the kind of person who'd leave a calling card, though?

[buddinghopes]

[Lia, having no leg to stand on in regards to bribing people with food, quietly considers the question as she unloads the last box.]

I feel like that depends on what exactly she's up to, probably?

[...]

I'm gonna take the cart to our room real quick, be right back.

[There she go]

[lifeforced]

Yeah, I don't actually know the answer to that, myself. I'd have to go and ask.

[ninehilist]

If she is, maybe get someone subtle. You don't wanna get the feds on you, after all.

[buddinghopes]

[And she's wandering back in after the cart's put away.

And just leaning against the wall.]
