Video. A Friendly School PSA.

[shoplifter]

 [The feed opens with a huffy looking Laura, sitting in front of the screen like it's a PSA announcement or some such — and judging from the glancing up at what must assuredly be a teacher, it's exactly that. Or something. She scowls at the camera again before looking down at the paper held in her dainty little hands that have totally never hurt anyone ever, no sir. She reads it blankly, and it's very clearly she's the worst podium speaker in the entire universe:]

I have agreed.... to read aloud, so that I will not be suspended for the week.

I would like to formally apologize for anyone I have ever stabbed, kicked, punched, or bitten... It was not my intention to hurt anyone and I will try my best from this point on to control my temper, both — in the complex and at school. [She wrinkles her nose, looks deadpan at the camera, and continues.] I am sorry to Tabitha for shoving her nose in the grass during recess. Even if it was because she was being unkind to another student, it does not give me the right to use... 'force'.

And I am sorry for using... Spanish expletives toward Jared, and hitting him in the throat with his own backpack. Even if he was being rude, it does not... excuse violence. [She looks so annoyed, save her.] From this point on, I will do my best to stay in school... for the whole school day. I will try not to leave past the wall.

[She puts the paper on the desk, calmly.]

... And I will not steal the chocolate milk from the cafeteria anymore.

[More gravely:]

But if Susan insults my accent ever again, I will shove her into the trash ca—


[huh the feed ended suddenly how about that






... she's in detention now]

Those kids don't stop, especially if they think you're smaller and weaker than them...

It's important to show them... they're not anything special.

[Also, I didn't stab them. Big improvement!!]

[bluechampion]

Hm.

[Link had his hand to his chin. He literally had no memory of his childhood, so it wasn't something he could pull up and argue with. Besides, she was just trying to stand up for someone who couldn't. That's more or less what he did in Hyrule. The difference being he was dealing mostly with monsters instead of other people.]

I can't say I know what else you could've done then. If they don't back off that's more their fault than yours. Ever ask your teacher what they want you to do? It doesn't look like they gave you any clear answer.

[shoplifter]

... I haven't told them everything, but they will... 'look into it'.

[She would mime quotations, if she knew the power behind that sass.]

They don't want us fighting; it is not allowed. Sometimes I am not sure I really belong here.

[bluechampion]

[Link couldn't help but grin at her miming. He was beginning to think he liked her.]

Maybe you don't. It sounds like you're a fighter put into a place where you can't fight. Tell you what, if you want to, you could come with me past the wall and I can teach you a few things.

[Not just fighting either, but legitimate survival skills, but she would find that out if she took him up on his suggestion.]

[shoplifter]

[She considers it for .1 second, but ultimately, any time she can go beyond the wall?

She's certainly down.]

I learned how to prepare meat after a hunt from someone. Can you teach me other things, like that?

[bluechampion]

Sure. [Link is pleased by her eagerness.]

Preparing meat and hunting is part of it, but there's also different plants you can work with. [Link knew not only how to prepare the meat, he knew how to make it taste good, even with little to work with. He would be more than happy to share that knowledge too.]

Of course, you'd also have to know how to deal with the monsters out there, but I've got a feeling that won't be too difficult for you.

[shoplifter]

[She agrees, it'll be a piece o' cake. But then again, she's very aware of her advantages.]

Plants... I'd like to learn about them. I have only gotten to see them sparingly at home.

[bluechampion]

Then I guess you found yourself a teacher. I'm on the twelfth floor of the commons, though I'm not there too often. Just send me a message whenever you want to start!

[OoC: Do you want to plot something? We can do that through PMs, or you can reach me at earthykitty]

shoots a pp!

[shoplifter]

[She gives a firm nod, a little less annoyed at the day in general.]

I will.
