Testing time's the worst.

[That sounds more like a comment to himself than to anyone else, though, even if there's a responding bark in the background. But for once, it sounds like normal teenage whining.]

Whoever thought it was a good idea to make everything due at the same time must have been an idiot. Or a sadist. Probably both.

[possiblycantdie]

Have you considered something chemical? [ Yes, science did perk her ears. And teaching isn't anything new either ]

[escapedpandora]

Oh! Like the... volcano one?

[possiblycantdie]

[ She does not know what this is ] Or perhaps something different. Where do your interests lie?

[escapedpandora]

That... that's the question, I guess.

[He's not quite sure of it himself.]

I just thought I'd have to do the project, you know. Kind of like interests didn't really matter.

[possiblycantdie]

They do not have to, however if it does interest you you may end up with a better project.

[escapedpandora]

I... don't really know what interests me.

[possiblycantdie]

Then perhaps that is somewhere to start.

[escapedpandora]

I don't think I'd be able to do that in a week.

[The tone is entirely frank.]

[possiblycantdie]

[ As is hers ]

Without attempting to do so you will not know. Perhaps you may find an interest sooner than you think.

[escapedpandora]

[He sighs a little, trying to think about it now.]

I like... [Home. His mom. Lightning. Vanille. Helping out. Nice people. Learning, to an extent.] ...computers? Planes. [Wait, no. That was Kai.] Reading. [He just didn't like writing.]

...I guess it's been mostly school and work here.

[possiblycantdie]

What work?

[escapedpandora]

Work work? I have a job at the Kahve, and as soon as school's out, I've got a summer thing lined up...

[possiblycantdie]

It would seem that you leave little time to discover your interests.

[escapedpandora]

...Can't be helped.

[possiblycantdie]

It can if you choose what to do.
