case 15 | action, everywhere

[The worst part about having all these off-worlder attacks? Was that Robin couldn't get a chance to go out there and fight alongside SeeD. He'd practically given up on going to class: he'd been here for over a year, he knew pretty much everything there was to know by now!

So instead, he's skipping class to stalk find potential recruits for the Disciplinary Committee. Although he might seem like he's lounging in the Quad with his comic books (steampunk pirates were so metaschway!!) or hanging out in an empty classroom, he's totally keeping an eye out for those who seem like they know what they're doing.

... That, and he really doesn't want to leave the Committee to freaking Impulse once he skips town. Desperate times are calling for desperate measures, and even though Robin hates to admit it, he needs all the help he can get.]

[Rolls his eyes.] They are.

Why are you in costume? And why are you wearing those ridiculous goggles?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

I haven't been out of costume since Halloween. [Goes ahead and takes a seat.] And for the last time, they're more practical than those domino masks.

[worthyheir]

Riiiiiiiiiight [Might try to knock your goggles so they obstruct your vision.] And Grayson thought my hood was stupid.

[Just for that, Bilal's going to make even bigger faces.] Does your mask have x-ray and night vision? And the ability to hack into Garden's main---

[Pause.] Nevermind. You heard about the weirdos outside Garden, right?

[worthyheir]

Why would I give myself cancer? But yes, I enhanced the domino mask's functionality.

Yes. Why aren't we going to them instead of resting on our laurels?

[He's going to give up on the line of thought concerning his goggles and cut straight to the chase:]

It's more complicated than that. If Cadets went out to fight them, the world would think we're child soldiers... and for a world that already hates us, it wouldn't work out.

[He's slightly bitter - he WANTS to go out and fight, but the diplomat's son also understands Cid's reasoning behind it.] Granted, if you wanted to fight on your own, you could try that, but Garden wouldn't be sponsoring it.

... Plus, they've been fighting. Haven't you noticed? All of our teachers've been replaced with subs.

[worthyheir]

Who cares how old we are so long as we're qualified? You'd think that they would want soldiers to fight or what's the point at all?

And I wasn't referring to the "adults."

If you want to argue with Headmaster, go for it. Maybe you could figure out a way I couldn't. And um... I can't leave, even if I wanted to.

[Here, he sheepishly shrugs] ... I'm kind of the head of the Disciplinary Committee now. It'd set the worst example ever if I just up and left.

[worthyheir]

Tt, I don't know why I bother doing anything, since they obviously don't plan on letting me graduate anytime soon.

[Arches an eyebrow.] Why would you ever want to be a part of something like that?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Originally? To make Seifer's life a living hell. Now? Kind of because there's no one else on the Committee.

....

Technically, "Robin's" the head, so I guess you can share the title with me if you want.

[worthyheir]

Why in the world would I associate myself with that nonsense?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

It's the closest thing to hero work I've seen since I got here. That reason enough?
