[ 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. ]

No need to be so defensive. I mean... well, all the evidence could say one thing, but it MIGHT be something else entirely!

[strikeraid]

well yeah sure but
this doesnt bother you
like at all

[hollowleg]

It bothers me a lot. A whole damn lot. But I have to keep going on, right?

[ so not only is this dangerous, but it's messing with his head. great. now he HAS to actually care about this. ]

ok
so theoretically if i gave a shit about this
how are we gonna turn this party bus around

[hollowleg]

Well, you do have an option. If you really want all of this to go away, you can skip town.

[strikeraid]

weve been here forever

[hollowleg]

... Right. I keep forgetting that so many of the people in the club are just kids.
