Wastin' Away Again~

Who: Teachers! TA's! RA's! Other graduate students! Other students who are crashing (or god help them, working there??)
When: March 8, 2019, in the evening.
Where: A karaoke bar in Soleil.
Warnings: Alcohol

Sometimes, after tests are done and mysteries uncovered, the teachers need to relax.

Which is why there is karaoke! The faculty of Daybreak Academy have converged, through random inspiration and not a terrible lot of planning, on one unsuspecting bar in Soleil on a Friday evening. A few drinks (or more!) are to be had; however, there is also a stage, with a microphone and a big screen -- which shows a music video for whatever song is on -- and the lyrics. A friendly little green ball bounces over them.

It is time to sing your heart out.

It is time... for karaoke.

[Oops.]

[No wait, she can play this off cool and casually.]


...I'm not even sure where that is.

[Okay maybe not.]

...Not important.

*Kids these days just don't learn the classics.*

Gotta say luggage a bold choice for sneaking into a bar, not sure how it'll work for you kid.

Don't you have better trouble to get into.
hattersgonnahat: (Is that so)

I didn't actually sneak in. I think Mr. Atchison forgot I was still in there.

[And before anyone asks, Puella pouts.] And I'm not going back inside that bag.

Why do you let him keep you in a bag?

*Claire wouldn't ask her to get back in there anyway.*

Take a seat, try to steal any booze I'm personally depositing you into detention.

Because it was the only way he'd let me go on the mission.

...I wasn't allowed a plane ticket.

[And everyone continues to let Avery be a teacher why again?]

[...And most of the alcoholic drinks smell icky anyway.]

He put you in the bag to keep from paying for a plane ticket?

*Mental note: look into what he is and how to make him suffer. Yes she has zero fucks to give about taking a child on a mission. Just sipping her beer. It's all fancy and foreign.*

And why do you let anyone treat you like that?

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-03-15 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Because it was either that or I couldn't go. And...And I wasn't gonna be afraid of just some bag.

[She had to prove somehow that she was just as serious as any other student taking the mission. ...And yeah it may have backfired a little.]

It isn't about being afraid of a bag, it's about telling that jerk to go screw himself.

*Who let Claire near kids?*
hattersgonnahat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWXoyTBnz8w (Dude wtf)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-03-15 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Good question.]

...But then he'd definitely not let me go.

[Pretty sure talking back at teachers is just bad all around.]

So... go on a mission with someone who doesn't treat you like a dead body.

*Claire!*

What's so special about a mission you're willing fly in luggage class for it?
hattersgonnahat: (Daunting)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-03-30 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[When you put it that way...actually no there probably was no lighter way to explain it.]

Because...Because I just wanted to go. It was my first mission.

[You expect a kid to have a good reason why?]
bikerbarbie: (S12 - 018)

[personal profile] bikerbarbie 2019-03-30 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
First mission? Like, first time facing anything dangerous, or first time knowing it was dangerous before something tried to kill you?

*Claire has no idea how kids who know about this work. She just thinks having more self respect than gym clothes would be a good starting point.*
hattersgonnahat: (Not so loud)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-03-30 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
...Y-yeah. But...it wasn't that scary!

[Not the whole time, anyway. Puella thought she did pretty damn well!]

It's fine being scared, scared means you aren't being a dumba- being stupid.

*Says a girl who enjoys how alive she feels hunting monsters, doesn't feel fear most of the time, and is pretty ready to die every time. So she is a healthy and well adjusted role model!*
hattersgonnahat: (Well then...)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-03-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Seconding that Claire should never be around kids.]

Everyone says stuff like that, but...

I never see anyone else scared.
bikerbarbie: (S12 - 029)

[personal profile] bikerbarbie 2019-03-30 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
We learn to deal with it. How to- push the fear away, keep it from causing trouble.

*Claire does remember thinking 'grown-ups' had it all handled because she couldn't see their fear. Back when her birth parents weren't dead.*

But it doesn't mean we don't get scared. I'm not as afraid of fighting monsters anymore, but other things freak me out.
