[The voice you hear is a teenage girl, and she sounds a little disgusted. Whether or not this post was an accident is up for debate. But she'll respond either way.]

What the fuck kind of place is this? I thought the adults were supposed to care. Sure doesn't look like it.

I need a cigarette.

Anything else?

[He sounds amused.]

[gristle]

What do you?

[Don't sound amused with her, buddy! This is serious business.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He'll be amused all he wants kid. Haven't you heard he's an asshole?]

What do I what?

[gristle]

[Actually no, she hasn't.]

Do for a living.

[There is definitely an unspoken 'duh' in that tone.]

[nobasisinfact]

[Stan has clearly not informed her well.]

I'm a professor at the college.

[gristle]

What do you teach?

[nobasisinfact]

Philosophy.

[gristle]

Oh.

[Boring.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He'll wait.]

[gristle]

[Okay, she's got something.]

Sounds boring.

[She never said it was a good something.]

[nobasisinfact]

[That was the worst something.]

I find it highly interesting.

[gristle]

[Was it really though?]

Really? Why? When there's cooler things to study.

[nobasisinfact]

[Yes, yes it was.]

I don't find it uncool.

[gristle]

Why not?

[Explain Mr. Weirdo Smarty pants.]

[nobasisinfact]

Because I find them fascinating.

[gristle]

Why?

[nobasisinfact]

Why do you like to smoke?

[gristle]

Why do you care?

[She can play the question game all night Mr. weird.]

[nobasisinfact]

I don't. I'm answering your question.

[gristle]

How is that answering my question?

[nobasisinfact]

If you can't figure it out I'm not telling you.

[gristle]

Aren't you supposed to be a teacher?

[nobasisinfact]

If I gave you the answer I wouldn't be a very good teacher.

[gristle]

And if I don’t have a basis for anything you teach?

[nobasisinfact]

Then you should probably enroll in the local school.
