hey uh
i bet you all get this a lot, but, uh, am i dead? like, straight up dead? is this purgatory?
because i really messed up and think i died and then i woke up in the hospital here and its all really
uh
a lot

and im kind of freaking out

ok yeah i guess i was about to die. and they explained all that but does that mean like, the me back home is dead??? or does that me just not exist anymore??????

(lowkey i still think this might be purgatory. if it was heaven i would have my own room.)

[ Gee. Stream-of-consciousness sure is easy when you're speaking to the void. But hey. It's better than staying in her bunk and going nuts alone. ]

ugh ok anyway someone distract me from existential bullshit
whats your favorite animal and why. best answer becomes my purgatory bff

im pretty talented at messing up

for real you can take university classes here??? do u need a GED??

[ She considers for a second, before following up. ]

pics or it didnt happen. show me the dragon

[thisisamazing]

I'm sure you did fine. Sometimes things just go sideways.

Yeah! I don't know what a GED is, so I guess not? They had me take a placement test and recommended some catch-up classes, but I didn't have to have anything beforehand.

[And then after a moment, a slightly blurred photo of man and dragon, probably taken with the self-timer on his phone.]

He doesn't stay still for very good pictures, haha.

a ged is like a diploma for high school
thats cool tho
my mom wants me to go to college but i never thoguht i would tbh

oh!! oh i love it
hes very cute. second dragon pic i have received here. things r looking up already

[thisisamazing]

I only theoretically know what high school is, and only from here. We tend to learn on the job where I come from. University is a lot of fun, though, and I've learned a lot. It's worth a try while you're here?

What? How am I not the first? Haha. Was the other of a blue Nadder?

[notreallyrobin]

what are u stdying at university?

and uh it was like
this kid who likes bats.
i dunno
it was a good dragon tho

[thisisamazing]

Science and engineering, mostly, and some other classes when I can fit them in.

Oh, huh. I thought mine and my girlfriend's dragons were the only ones in the city right now.

[notreallyrobin]

thats really rad, you must be super smart

and this kid sent me a pic!! it was a lil scary looking

[thisisamazing]

I don't know about that, those are just the things that are most useful for what I do.

Really? What did it look like? I wonder what class it would be...

[notreallyrobin]

uhh it was dark and kinda spooky. he called it a bat dragon???

[thisisamazing]

What made it bat-like? Physical features, behavior?

[Sorry he's really interested now.]

[notreallyrobin]

UHHHh the kid called it a bat dragon and it was a little spooky lookin!!
