We really do have a school now! I went down and signed up a few days ago, and now I'm all settled in. Trunks, you should think about going, too! You know your mother would want you to, and you're bright even if you don't act like it.

Goten might be a little too young for that yet, though.

But I uh-- I need a job. Dad invited me to stay with him and Goten, with Mr. Harry Dresden, I think. But I can't stay there without at least contributing! As much as I can! So...I need a job!

Is anybody hiring? I can do just about anything you need me to, but I can only work evenings and nights, because I have school and uh...the things my dad needs me to do during the day.

I would be really grateful!

So I heard that those murders that were happening have stopped, I guess? I hope the criminal has been caught or will be in the future, because really I'm...not going to say I'm a person who's not used to death or uncomfortable with the reality of it.

But from what I hear...the treatment of these people was pretty terrible. Inhuman.

Well, no, not inhuman. Inhumane I guess is the word I want.

Um! Anyway, in better news, I'm starting a study group along with misses Youko and Mamori so nobody gets too behind while they're here. I heard most of us don't remember our time in this place, but you should always exercise your brain anyway.

I wonder if they're going anything with that idea of a school system yet...

I just got the weirdest chill down my spine...like something terrible is going to happen.

Dad, are you okay?

Hikaru?

Mister Hiruma? Monta? Miss Mamori?

So I'm um...well, honestly, I'm feeling kind of guilty lately. I want to start a social study group for the other city youth. Would anybody be interested?


[ooc: IT'S A CHICHI GET IN THE CAR!]

To everyone I irritated with my shouting yesterday, I owe you a huge apology! I can't tell you how sorry I am for it, really, it won't happen again! Does anyone know where I can buy some advanced physics textbooks? I'm not going to lie, it's pretty much an emergency and I am begging for them.

Mister Hikaru, thanks so much for letting me make it up to you by helping you with those weird props. And for the meal. And for the place to stay last night at the Opera Abandoned. And the clothes and the shower. Actually, thanks for...EVERYTHING. I'll help you with anything you ever need, ever! It'd be no problem!

Mister Ukitake, thanks for the offer to stay at the Temple! If my dad doesn't have any other ideas, I'll humbly take you up on the offer.

Mister Hiruma, miss Mamori, and the Devilbats, thank you all for welcoming me onto your football team! I've never played on a real team for very long and I look forward to working with you all!

EVERYONE! I DIDN'T DESERVE ANY OF THE KINDNESS YOU'VE SHOWED ME! THANK YOU!

Dad. We need to talk about something really uncomfortable.
