Somepony everypony should know [Action | Open]

[elementofloyalty]

[The usual morning routine is interrupted by a pony with way too much energy. No one who knows her would believe Rainbow Dash is up on time and with energy, but there she is, zooming around Garden excitedly with a rainbow trail left in her wake. She seems intent on exploring everywhere, peering into all the various rooms and areas; in fact, the only place you WON'T find her is in the elevator. Because seriously she can just fly to the second floor.]

[You may be fortunate enough to find a pony in your class, if you have one with her! She's sitting eagerly at her desk for the academic ones, and... for the sciencey ones like Engineering and Physics, looking just a little bit nervous under her smile. She spends a LOT of time checking her books and terminal, and looking worried when she thinks no one is looking.]

[During the free time after classes, Rainbow takes to the Quad to play with her pet, Tank -- who is distinctive not just for being a turtle, but a turtle with a magic-powered helicopter on his shell, so he can fly around with her.]

[OOC: As usual, just say where you're meeting her!]

No, they're gonna tell you stuff where you'll have to solve for x to know what the stuff means!

Augh... [He rolls his eyes in exasperation.] Do you even know what a plane is?

[elementofloyalty]

Yes, I know what a plane is. [She rolls her eyes.] Don't know what a 'chocobo' is or whatever they were asking us to calculate the speed of in that word problem...

[Obviously fake cheeriness:] Really? Cause I don't think ya do!

2/2

[bot_builder]

Oh. Chocobos. Yeah, I have no clue about them either. I've just been pretending they're talking about magic chocolate that grew legs somehow whenever they come up in a word problem.

[elementofloyalty]

[Well, she WAS about to get up in his face and start jabbing him in the chest with a hoof, but that second sentence stops her.]

Hey... that's actually not a bad idea. Those word problems would be easier if I just imagined they were about things that I actually know!

[bot_builder]

Yeah, it's really helpful for me, and I'm pretty good at this stuff, so...

That's kind of a secret about school. Try to figure out how the subjects relate to things you actually do understand and care about.

[He decides, in a rare moment of wisdom, not to tell her that if a subject's really stupid you should ignore it and just cram really hard the day before a big test, because if she already thinks physics is stupid, weeelll... He doubts the results would be pretty.]

[elementofloyalty]

[Good, because that WOULDN'T work for her! She's already gotten booted out of school once...]

I think I can do that. I'll try it on my homework!
