[Welp. Nora is bored. And she's been wanting to do this for a while, so..]

So..... I can't be the only one here who is totally sick of just waiting for cool powers and stuff, right? And I figure since people can get pulses and things from talking about stuff past them used to do, we could just get together and chat about cool powers until someone remembers having one of them.

[She clearly has been giving this a lot of thought.]

Anyone interested? We could meet up at Cold Marble, unless someone knows of a better ice-cream parlor. I'm open to suggestions.

[Or is this just an excuse to go get ice-cream with some friends? Who even knows.]

Excellent! I'll see you when that happens and it will be a good way to start recruiting other people into our group!

You're doing quite a lot for someone your age you know!

Thanks, but there's a lot of reincarnates my age and some even younger. I don't wanna fall behind!

I have to give it my all!

I'll say one thing, you're doing a lot better than me that's for sure! I got to keep up too or else I'm going to fall behind everyone!

How can I face that?!

You shouldn't worry so much. You're doing fine!

I really hope so! I don't want to think I'm not doing fine!

That would just make things even worse!

You really are.

But even if you do run into problems, you know you've got friends who have your back.

Yeah, I know! Trust me on that, I just learned the hard way of what happens when you don't really talk to your friends about your problems.

Huh? Did something happen?

Wellllll, long story short?

I just got into an argument with a friend about some stuff with the finals and feeling like I can't catch up? That kind of thing?

Oh....

But you guys worked it out, right? You're cool now?

I hope so! We kind of talked it out even though it ended badly?

[She gave a giggle] I don't know, I think we just misunderstood each other before but I think we understood one another now. [pause] Maybe.

Aw, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's fine!

Or else!

[Insert ~dramatic~ voice over here]

Okay, now I know you're over thinking this. I bet your friend is already totally over it.

Yeah, yeah, I know they have! But it's nice to make it more dramatic once in a while! Make things more interesting sometimes!

[Kind of]

Now that I understand.

[A little melodrama is good for the soul.]

Then what about you? What sort of drama did you get into?

Nothing major. Let's just say.... sometimes I'll turn up the drama if I think I can get my way.

[A few well-placed dramatics can go a long way towards getting an advance on her allowance or a days worth of amnesty on her homework.]

With grown-ups though, not with my friends.

[An important distinction.]

[Then she raised an eyebrow at her.]

What do you mean by that? Jeez, you're not getting into that much drama right? Well, it does make it more exciting but you know? Not where you're getting into some serious trouble!

Of course not! And you're the one who brought up drama in the first place.

...Okay, you got a point there but at least you're safe and not getting into trouble!

Because you got to make sure you stay in school and do your hardest there1 And stand up for what you believe in! Even it might get you into trouble sometimes!

.....

[Okay, now she's just laughing.

Give her a minute.

Okay.]

Sorry, sorry. It's just... you sound like an after school special.

Good because that was the point!

I can make it even cheesier it you want! You want to give it a try?

Haha okay, sure! Um...

[She affects an especially melodramatic tone]

I've learned a valuable lesson today! I must always eat my vegetables and clean my room a just say no to drugs! Oh, and believe in myself. And... stuff.

And always listen to your elders and parents! Even though they might seem like jerks, they always mean well! Or something like that!

Haha, I'm not very good at this am I?
