[ Someone failed physics badly enough to make summer school a necessity, not an option. Well, whatever. Skyler did what he wanted with his summer, his greatly diminished social circle totally having a huge hand in that, so now he's actually sitting down and doing his homework. Except converting potential energy to kinetic energy makes no sense, so he's since graduated to fucking around and putting down whatever numbers come to mind. And since this is the first time he's actually bothered to do his homework in ages... the numbers one would expect pop up, and suddenly his homework can scroll. ???? Skyler puts pencil to paper to investigate. ]

ok are you kidding me
what is this

no offense to whatever this is but this shit's not gonna work out

this class is pass fail but there's no way i can turn this in now
shit
shit
undo

[ His worksheet (and his name) is clearly available for anyone who wants to poke fun at his awful attempt at scholastics! Or, you know, man the cannons. ]

why don't you try erasing the numbers instead!
although then you would miss out on our scintillating conversations/company, you know.

also p. sure you are not using the right formula up there, do you have your textbook w/ you?

handwritten until further notice!

[ ... oh my god it's talking to him now. this is some paranormal activity bullshit all up ins. he pauses for a long moment, then starts scribbling faster.]

ok as long as you help me figure this out i won't call father pedro and the ghostbusters down on your ass

I'm so sorry, but you're a bit too late to avoid abject failure.

[+1 more person judging you harshly for having difficulty with this weakass baby worksheet]

[strikeraid]

thanks never woulda noticed

[ he liked it when this worksheet only had one personality ]

[lightedprincess]

[....wow. um. she doesn't even know how to reply to that.]

You might need to start over.

[strikeraid]

yeah i noticed
you can barely read anything on this anymore
and almost all of it is shit talking
you guys are the worst god damn poltergeists ever

[hollowleg]

i was never much good at physics either

[strikeraid]

yeah
it's bullshit
kinda thinking about burning it right now

[because Shou is actually a troll in disguise]

The answer is 42.

written text forever

[strikeraid]

[ ... well, now we know that physics homework gets GREAT visual reception. ]

fuck off man you didn't show your work

[Video]

[originaloddcouple]

Oh, is that how physics works?

That explains how I failed back in college.

And it looks like my answers were way off.

[strikeraid]

hey it's cool
copy off this sheet and you're both golden

[ ... if they take him seriously he's going to piss himself laughing ]

[gogoghostpowers]

You're in summer school? Wow, I'm sorry, that's gotta suck.

That physics stuff looks pretty cool though!

[The second he sends the message, though, he takes a closer look and sees the name at the top of the paper.

The name which happens to be that of one of the guys who bullied him the worst in school.

WOW NOPE NOPE NOPE FUCK THIS ABORT MISSION GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK--

OH GOD HE ALREADY POSTED HIS MESSAGE, THERE'S NO TAKING IT BACK NOW WHAT DID HE DO]

[Handwritten]

[dododo]

[ Oh, this is actually pretty precious. He'll just get a pen and paper of his own to do this properly. ]

Have you gotten any help yet?

[Handwritten]

[strikeraid]

uh sort of??? there's this guy here [ there's an arrow pointing up at this ] but he got really bitchy and fucked off so that's it

[Teacher type sees bad homework; teacher type must correct because, really, if this gets him a passing grade then the grading teacher must be completely wasted.]

The majority of your work is incorrect.

[strikeraid]

[ it's the kind of class that's an A+ if you're a warm body in the seat. anyway, skyler lashes out because he's actually kind of sensitive about this nonsense. SCHOOL, UGH. ]

oh no shit sherlock

[earnedmystripes]

[You know who's a 37-year-old man who's utterly cringing at those equations? Yep, this guy.

He's sort of torn between dad-mode, sympathy for his plight of summer homework, or actually explaining the network.]

Well if you erase the numbers, your worksheet will go back to normal. You can put them in anywhere, so you won't lose any conversations here if you do.

[A beat, and then a second text comes through.]

Do you have someone you can ask for help with the homework?

handwritten;

[strikeraid]

[ honestly, being reasonable about this is going a lot farther than 75% of the replies here. not that skyler's all that grateful about it. teenagers. ]

useful advice god DAMN i didn't think i'd see the day

nah i got a lot of people telling me the shit i do wrong but that's basically all of it. so now i'm just fucking around until talking to you guys gets boring.

lmfao no

[recollection]

Congratulations. You failed.

[Although she feels for him. Physics and the like were never her forte.]

[strikeraid]

REALLY I WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN NOTICED THANK GOD YOU POINTED IT OUT

[ sorry the overwhelming amount of bullshit has already taken its toll ]
