school's out forever

As the elderly among us have realized, most of us seem to be underage. Since that's the case, I have a question regarding my education.

I'm not quite sure what to do without highschool. The concerns of reaching graduation aside, my days seem emptier without the responsibilities I had back home. Time passes much slower when I can only spend it on hobbies. And it's frustrating knowing that looking for a job would be pointless due to our apparent invisibility to normal people.

(Which is ridiculous, by the way.)

To be blunt, it's stressing me out. Apparently. My shinki noticed it enough to point it out. They even threatened me if I didn't write this.

So let me know if you have an answer. I'm obviously at a loss. Please also let me know if you have any excess paperwork. At least I know that soothes me.

Keito, don't be rude to your elders. Do you know English? Or Japanese?

[lecturehall]

I am Japanese, Jae-ha. Keito Hasumi is a Japanese name.

[razzledazzles]

Why would I know something like that?

Could I get you to create study worksheets on learning Japanese?

[lecturehall]

You want to learn Japanese? Is this why you were asking for English too?

[razzledazzles]

Almost. My god is going through the trouble of teaching me English, but he's growing rather frustrated trying to learn Japanese on his own. I can't help him at all when my only knowledge is the basic way we can all understand each other.

[lecturehall]

I'm not quite fond of teaching but...

It would give me more satisfaction. Luckily for you, my penmanship is perfect. I'll see what I can do.

Is your friend as old as you?

[razzledazzles]

He's just 20, actually. If you made worksheets, it wouldn't really be the hassle of teaching, would it? I wouldn't want to trouble my dear little brother.

[lecturehall]

I never agreed to be your little brother.

Anyway, you're wrong. While worksheets may only be a simple tool, they are still a necessary for a lesson. I can't take them lightly.

You're still coming over for the movie tonight, right? I'll have a month's worth of worksheets prepared by then. You can photocopy them if he needs extras.

[razzledazzles]

[Casually ignores his brother rejection.]

Of course I am. There was a bit of a surprise this morning, but I'll still make it. You can do that so quickly? What's a photocopy?

[lecturehall]

What type of surprise?

[razzledazzles]

It's a long story, so please don't ask.

I have the popcorn.

[lecturehall]

You can't just assign me as your younger brother and then expect me to ignore concerning statements. If you don't want to address it then don't bring it up.

You can either tell it now or you can tell it later but I won't hear silence. Is that clear?

[razzledazzles]

What a worrying younger brother you are. The last I checked, weren't you the one who's ill so often? It looks like I'll have to check if that's been taken care of as well, so you better be up to date.

We can both have a chat.

[lecturehall]

Don't mention private matters in public. You'll weaken my image.

[And... Well, he knows at least Kuro will read this.]

I'll punish you with questions when you get here.

[razzledazzles]

Huzzah, punishment.

[Someone taught him that word okay.]

[lecturehall]

Don't do that.

[razzledazzles]

Do what?

[lecturehall]

Don't "huzzah" at me.

[razzledazzles]

Why not?

[It's probably amazing how even over text, Jae-Ha can make those two words seem like the beginning of a never-ending trail of questions.]

[lecturehall]

No. I'm not doing this.

[razzledazzles]

Why not?

[Ah. There it is.]

[lecturehall]

I'm not your god. I'm not obligated to put up with your pestering.

[razzledazzles]

I don't think my god is so obligated, either. You're still here, hello.

[lecturehall]

How belligerent.
