case 11 | BBS + action

I've tried asking the teachers this already, but it looks like I'll need tutors this Quarter. Again. Not for languages this time - unless any of you know Japanese - but for actual classes I'm taking this Quarter, like Boxing, Survival Skills, and the "age appropriate" math classes I've been forced to take.

If anyone's interested, let me know. I'll pay you well in something, even if it isn't in cash.

[Sometime later today, after he's made his BBS post, Damian's chilling in the Quad underneath a shady tree. (There's even a banner for "VOTE AANG FOR HOMECOMING PRINCE" over his head.) He's got a math textbook on his lap and a pencil in his hand as he's attempting to do math homework. Judging by the amount of eraser shavings, it looks like he's struggling a little bit... with basic 7th grade math.

There's also an old-fashioned (by Damian's standards) phone lying a little to his side, but it's not immediately obvious until someone's sitting next to him. As it is, he's not really aware it's there. After a moment, he hits the back of the tree in frustration... and immediately sticks his hand in his mouth. Right. Some things just can't be solved with violence.]

[Now Damian just feels like a jerk.]

If you think about it... if we're not from this world... and we were brought here... doesn't that make US aliens?

Heh, I actually...I hadn't thought of it that way! That's a good point. I-I guess that makes us proof of there being other intelligent life...?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Exactly. So don't give up hope just because your world hasn't seen them just yet.

[I-It was that obvious?!]

Heh, yeah. You're right. We'll probably find some someday--or maybe they'll find us.

And when they do, you'll be more than prepared for them.

[He gets up and starts to pack up his things. With the help Danny's given him, he's pretty sure he can finish the rest of his homework just fine.] I'm Damian, by the way. Good luck hunting those aliens down.
