[ well that sure was. a q&a. alex has her hands shoved in her jacket pockets and is just kind of shuffling around in place, here. do not ask where here is. ]
This world itself is strange. So it begs the question of just who they are and where they’ve come from — but it almost sounds embarrassing to pry that information out of a teenager.
And even if it comes later in life, so long as you find something that you’ll enjoy doing is best. Though money is a good motivator, too —
[ He laughs a bit sheepishly. ]
Oh! Maybe you could become the artist. Since you seemed like you had fun spray painting. Isn’t that becoming a bit popular these days? I’ve seen a few people overseas request murals from artists.
I hate it just as much as you do. I hate that -- [ There's a brief pause. ] ... It's a bit selfish of me to mention it, but I truly am tired of having to witness people die.
I've seen too much of it... to the point I can't even say that I'm living through that loss anymore.

Sooo. Any thoughts on all of... that?
no subject
Oh. I'm a bit angry, but also relieved.
[ !!! yeah ]
They're obviously keeping information from us. Valuable information.
no subject
What'd you ask that they couldn't tell you?
no subject
From what I follow they're meant to be like judges for us, but she also described them as referees. Whichever you think works best for them.
no subject
Like they're just stuck following its script.

You guys can talk about what's trending? Maybe find out what's hot around the city we're in?
no subject
Pfft, what?
The only things trending are McDonald's and IKEA.
no subject
[ HE COULD JUST ASK THEM THIS ]
no subject
[ different worlds and all that. ]
no subject
Either way, I do think it would be a good idea to talk to potentially get to know them.
no subject
no subject
Anyway, I only bring it up because I think it would best to treat them as friends. But they're just... part of the student council, I guess.
no subject
[ not that she'd know what? being an adult is like, though?? ]
But yeah. I'll try to get to know them, anyway.
week 1: monday
Know anything about art?
no subject
[ He seems a bit embarrassed. ]
I wasn't really going to school aiming for arts.
no subject
What were you studying, then?
no subject
Business. It was mainly because it's easy to find a job.
no subject
Makes sense. Go for something practical. Art and language degrees tend to be pretty useless. Orrr so I hear. [ she is 17 what does she know. ]
no subject
Is there anything you’d want to study in the future?
no subject
Mm, I'm not really sure yet. But I figure I can take a lot of different classes and see what sticks or something?

You could paint stars everywhere you go.
no subject
And anyone can have fun if you hand them spray-paint! But I'm not really that artistic.
no subject
[ He chuckles lightly. ]
Sorry, I'm just teasing you a bit. For the shirt.
no subject
[ but ] Oh, uh... Yeah, my bad... [ SHE JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY :sob: ]
no subject
It was sponsored anyway. I wasn't going to end up keeping it after the show aired.
no subject
no subject
Typically they'd just give us a "mission" and then we'd show our talents solo. After that the fans would vote their favorites.

Miss Alex. [ His voice is gentle, yet tired -- maybe a bit cracked. Like he's only finished sobbing moments prior. ] Breathe a little...
[ he is not a man of great comfort i'm sorry ]
no subject
... I'm fine. I mean, like, not fine, because everything is terrible. But. Fine.
Thanks.
no subject
[ A lot. But that’s an understatement. ]
Too much loss all at once.
no subject
What are we even supposed to do to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen?
no subject
Because from our perspective it's just something that's inevitable.
[ like rule one of fight club except the rule is that all your friends WILL die ]
no subject
... God, I hate that. I hate... Inevitable. I'm tired of it.
no subject
I hate it just as much as you do. I hate that -- [ There's a brief pause. ] ... It's a bit selfish of me to mention it, but I truly am tired of having to witness people die.

no subject
[ ugh. ]
Well, it's not a good thing to be used to it.
no subject
[ Just looping around in circles over the fact that… yeah… they’re just going to have to get used to their friends dying. ]
Though I hope that there’s something we can do, that we can change, so you and others don’t have to suffer with this pain anymore.
As I said: it’s tiring.
no subject
We are learning more each week.
