[Video: early morning]

[greenisthenewblack]

[Sheila's in a bathrobe, looking rather more disheveled and irate than... most people on the network have seen her before. If they've seen her at all. This is, after all, her first video.]

[She'd be more concerned about her appearance if both hands weren't, y'know. Glowing. Glowing green, in fact, with a few black flecks. She gives a deep, exasperated sigh.]

Great. Now I glow.

Other people blast things, or get cyborg implants, or super-strength.

I fucking glow.

As if I would tell you something like that?

[[His charming attitude likely will give some hint, however]]

[greenisthenewblack]

...You're one of my students, all right. You have the attitude down, anyway.

[She might figure it out, too, if she can keep him talking.]

[shiromadoushi]

Doesn't say much about your classroom management skills if all your students have that same mindset~

[[He's not even really trying to hide who he is. He's curious enough to see if she can figure it out. Since it's not like he talks much in class. Or pays much attention in class. Or really does anything but dick around on his cell phone or doodle in class...]]

[greenisthenewblack]

Just the ones on the network, funny enough.

Yeesh. You kids get drafted into one secret society and get a couple superpowers, and suddenly school's not important anymore.

[She's keeping a straight face. It's hard to tell whether this is sarcasm or a legit complaint.]

[shiromadoushi]

You say as if it ever has been.

[[Starting to sound familiar yet?]]

Besides. Even if I did give a shit about school, this would trump it. Straight As doesn't mean a thing if the police blow your brains out and aliens take over the world, after all.

[greenisthenewblack]

I'm just amused that all my problem children are Numbers, that's all.

I'll spare you the whole 'life goes on, weird shit or no' speech, Bakura. I think it'd be lost on you.

[Yeah, she figured it out.]

[shiromadoushi]

That it took you this long is kinda sad, you know.

And school isn't life. It's the biggest roadblock to having one.

[greenisthenewblack]

Just had to make sure. Beats jumping the gun and making a fool of yourself.

Like I said, lost on you. School may not be life, but it sure as hell opens a lot of doors later on.

[shiromadoushi]

The only door it opens is college if you survive. By itself it doesn't count for shit.

[greenisthenewblack]

Right. Everyone wants to hire a high school dropout. I don't know why us teachers even try.

[shiromadoushi]

Cute how you think you do.

Since clearly you don't listen or read.

[greenisthenewblack]

Just pointing out that for something that doesn't 'count for shit', not having it makes life a lot harder than it has to be.

That being said, definitely prioritize staying alive. Unfortunately for you, part of that is keeping a low profile. You're stuck with going to school. At least until the world goes even crazier...

[She wouldn't rule it out, at this point.]

[shiromadoushi]

I'm not the one glowing.

[[Grr hiss that better not have been a comment on his hair. He's far too aware that white hair sticks out far too much when you're too young for it. Far too aware.]]

[greenisthenewblack]

[If she was making fun of your hair, Bakura, you'd know. She's not exactly subtle.]

Which is why yes, you'll probably have a sub today until I can control it. I'm not keen on getting arrested, thanks.

[shiromadoushi]

[[and he's not exactly reasonable.]]

I'd worry if you were~

[greenisthenewblack]

Yeah. I try not to make it a habit to do stupid things, thanks.
