[selfconcept]

Congratulations! You survived the first week of Personal Enrichment Class! Or at least, your body did if you feel like astral projecting. It's time to mingle with your fellow students after the Saturday lesson. Maybe get revenge. Or maybe you're going to your room right away. Either way, it's free time! Let loose. Go wild.

[ meanwhile ace is sucking his thumb off of the last of the rice before he plops down on the bed. ]

It would have been another story if they had some drinks to enjoy a party.

[ but that didn't seem to be the case. and he got food and snacks with sabo. he was still getting to know the people here. social as he is, they didn't feel like a crew. ]

[vivens]

Maybe there could have been.

[ though more realistically not given that it was a "school lesson" and most schools don't allow for drinking. of course, there would be exceptions to that but there are exceptions for a lot things. ]

Or at least some food.

[ again, probably not. ]

[iubar]

We'll just have to check if there's an afterparty next week.

[ or head to the karaoke bar that they'll be getting. not that he knows that yet. ]

[vivens]

Speaking of next week...

[ sitting more upright. ]

The idea of this place is to work together and not to cause problems. [ technically it's "grow as individuals and strengthen interpersonal communication skills" but details. ] This past week was focusing on teamwork but Lorelei said that the subsquent weeks are going to be more "hands on".

[ whatever that means. ]

[iubar]

Did you ask what that meant?

[ because that really could mean anything. though, of course, his mind first goes to actual fist fighting or other misadventures. ]

[vivens]

No, not yet.

I figured it wouldn't be something that they'd shed more light on but we should at least mentally prepare for whatever could come at us.

[ WHICH POINTS GUN. NO RECKLESSNESS. ]

[iubar]

You're probably right on that. Make sure to take care of yourself.

[ not that it needs to be said, but no recklessness on both ends!! ]

[vivens]

[ yeah well.

i can't wait for this thread to age poorly. ]

I'll be fine. Just focus on yourself.

[iubar]

[ it would never... ]

You're important to me, so I'm not going to ignore that.

[vivens]

[ looks into the camera.

sabo's just going to have a nice little laugh. i'm glad its pride month that i get to respond to this tag... ]

Isn't it counter-productive to ignore something important to you?

[iubar]

[ wow, they're sworn brothers!!! nothing pride month about it. ]

Yeah, but sometimes it happens.

[ like getting into a fight and giving the other a cold shoulder? stubborn boys do that kind of thing sometimes. ]

[vivens]

[ hm. ]

I'll keep that in mind the next time you beg me to make breakfast.

[iubar]

There's no reason to go that far.

[ don't be mean! ]

[vivens]

[ he's just going to laugh at this. ]

Why not? Maybe it'll inspire you to get out of bed quicker.

[iubar]

Now you're just being mean.

[ there's no reason to get out of bed any faster than he is, thank you very much. ]

[vivens]

Or maybe this means you should appreciate what I do for you more.

[ which is like what... between the two of them who would even be the more awake one? ]

[iubar]

You think I don't appreciate that?

[ okay, maybe he is a little shit toward sabo, but that's out of affection(??) right? ]

[vivens]

I said "more".

[ it's not like sabo doesn't do things that aren't deserving. ...though he is also on his best behavior currently. ]

[iubar]

I think if I started to praise you like that you'd wonder what's wrong.

[ while sabo can be on his best behavior, that's not completely how ace handles things. though... he's also been behaving pretty well, in general. ]

[vivens]

True. It would depend on how you go about it.

[ nothing has been completely broken or set on fire yet so they're both doing well. ]

If you started to praise me out of nowhere then I'd definitely suspect you making someone angry or breaking something.

[iubar]

[ the bar is so low. ]

I'm not that bad.

[ okay, maybe he is. ]

[vivens]

[ on their best behavior until they're not. ]

I think I could ask some people around here and they might give me a different answer.

[iubar]

[ it's so true. ]

And there's some that wouldn't! It balances out.

[vivens]

Should we test that?

[iubar]

If you want. I know I'm right.
