[Lloyd looks very exasperated. You might notice a couple of textbooks sitting next to him on his desk, as well.]

Okay, I know we're not supposed to tell anybody about this number unless they remember it or whatever. But, knowing about this is something that can keep people kinda busy right?

[He glances over at the books before continuing.]

Is there any way we could get more time to do our homework because of this place? I mean, I know I can't tell my teachers the real reason why, but there has to be some way to explain it, right?

[We'll ignore that he hasn't done much for meeting anyone because he was distracted by summer break. He just thinks his new teachers are being COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS.]

I'm pretty sure they don't think we have anything better to do. School's barely started and I already have a ton of work! Why do I hafta learn about how plants grow, anyway? I'm not gonna be a gardenist!

[Audrey gives the issue a moment of thought, then:]

It would depend on each individual teacher frankly. Each one of them is likely different and you would likely need to craft your story differently to appeal to them in the best possible manner.

For some of my tutors, simply saying I needed more time to complete the work to a standard I found acceptable seemed to work well.

[There are many things that he could say, here. But one thing picks at him so much that he has to bring it up first.]

"Gardenist"? Seriously?

Seriously? But I have a lot of teachers! How am I supposed to know what each of them will listen to? I'm pretty sure regular teachers don't let you turn it in whenever you think it's good...

Y-Yeah. Or... garden...manologist? Somebody who grows crap!

-- You... -- haven't been using this in the middle of - ...class projects, have you?

[A glance here and there at either side or the bottom of the frame that returns to center for almost-eye contact. Voice with a high edge - it's asked in neutral, unsure social curiosity rather than anything critical. Anything consciously, hypocritically so, anyway.]

... I'm guessing your English grades are crappy too, aren't they?

[How did this guy even get into highschool, man?]

Uh, we haven't really had any projects yet. Just reading and assignments and all that stupid BS. Why?

Hey, my grades aren't that bad! I usually get Ds! Sometimes if I do really good, I might get a C!

[...And there's your answer.]

Nothing -- sorry. -- It's just that you said it's - "because of this place." [Key word being "place" rather than "situation" - there is a problem and clearly then it's being attributed to the network! Nay?]

I'm uhm - guessing you know about - Mr. Lyall and Mr. Locke -- already... -- and that they would - understand. [Which isn't to imply any thought that they would or probably necessarily should make any allowances.]

I just meant that we know about other things and stuff. So sometimes we might be too busy for homework.

...Wait, really? Some of the teachers know this number? I'm pretty sure I won't have Mr. Locke any time soon, though. He teaches the harder classes, right?

Great plan. "Hey teach, I've been spending so much time chatting on this possibly-supernatural network with other people who, like me, have been obtaining otherworldly memories and bodily alterations that I haven't had time to do my homework. No, you can't see the network." Let us know how that works out.

[Giving the network a quick glance over results in seeing this. A small part wants to say A LOT, but given the person behind this message, Richard opts only to say one single thing.]

Botanist.

... That is a problem then.

[The blond leans forward to rest her cheek on her hand, still watching her own webcam.]

Have you considered simply telling your teachers that a family emergency has prevented you from completing your work on time?

[Eyes go a little wider - brow raises lightly.] -- Chemistry.

You really er -- hadn't known - before? Actually - we... meet in -- Mr. Lyall's - class... once a week - on Monday. ...After school...

[You are talking to a kid who wouldn't understand getting a B, Lloyd.]

... Gardener. Or if you were more focused on the scientific end, botanist. How do you not know these words? [He is eleven and knows these words. You have no excuse!]

Or you could learn how to manage your free time effectively.

Correct me if I'm wrong. You're trying to use this network as an excuse to not do homework?

i sed i woodnt tak about this

wut

Yeah, but I can't do that all year. My family isn't that big...

[ That's what DJ gets for multitasking. Attempt to save face: Go! ]

Because I'm sure any other excuse would work out great.

[...This is what he gets for being too distracted by summer break to pay a lot of attention here.]

We do?! I hadn't heard about that! But- I'm not supposed to be in any after school stuff. They won't even let me try out for any of the teams...

I know what a gardener is! I thought those were just old ladies who worked in their yards...

my free tiem is ok its this work

Well...yeah. It's a good one, right?
