First Day on the Schoolyard - Visual

[tsunpony]

So.

First week at Canterlot Academy... where exactly in the dumb school spectrum is "incredibly hot nerd girl" anyhow? Because that's what the "Mean girls" labeled me as. I already got a couple of date offers.

This is totally what I needed on my first week of high school: Classism.

I'm going to be bucking trees for a while to simmer my rage on being called babe for the first time.

T-that's even a possibility?

[Having not attended school proper, all she knew came from Amy when it came to that. She'd not even brought up the possibility: likely because it was so rare.]

[tsunpony]

It's a stupid segregation label and I thought ponies were above this! I didn't get this kind of guff back in Kanon Town but as we all know, my city is made out of rainbows and butterflies.

[oceanicbrave]

I don't think any schools can escape it. Souji-san and Amy-san have two completely different ranges of schools and they both exist there. I guess it's human...and pony...nature to want to squish people together like that.

Though...doesn't that put you in a unique position? It's like that American show about vampires...

[tsunpony]

It's just dumb s'all. I know it happens to some public schools outside of the usual Precure zones but its my first time experiencing this.

Eh... I dunno. I mean, I'm flattered i'm attractive to them, but I'd rather go without the label.

[oceanicbrave]

Maybe you should go Gentaro-san's route...and just befriend everypony. Break down walls that way.

[She'll need to roll for her charisma stat big time :P]

.....

[He's gonna go sharpen his sword now. Ktxsbai.]

[tsunpony]

Papa no. You don't need to kill anyone. I can deal with some mean girls. And some rude guys too.

[sumofallreds]

Oh no...this is for when they show up at the door if you manage to find anyone acceptable. I think I have a duty in this case...

Or both. I won't say...

[tsunpony]

Oh. Oh right yeah you do have that duty. I forgot. I haven't been on a date in, well, ever.

[sumofallreds]

Just remember that then. And don't warn them. It's more fun that way. Besides...you might get a laugh.

[ceasetoexist]

You're an idiot.

[What a productive answer.]

Re: [Visual]

[tsunpony]

Har har, you're just jealous I'm in high school now. [Laaaame comeback.]

Re: [Visual]

[ceasetoexist]

Well, I could go if I wanted it. Don't need to though. Loser.

Secondly, you should totally take up those date offers and milk them for all their worth. Do you have any idea how much free crap you're giving up?

Re: [Visual]

[tsunpony]

That's a terrible attitude for that, Pokey. I'm not going to just play with someone's affections like that.

Re: [Visual]

[ceasetoexist]

Their fault if they're going to treat you like that, but whatever.

"What is...classism?"

Re: Visual

[tsunpony]

"The segregation of people via status, either implied via social structure or just being in a position of power. Like a king oppressing his people or just students separating people in the school due to their hobbies. It's kind of dumb really. Classism was abolished in my home world ages ago."

[terraburning]

Terra nods, taking this in.

"So it's like what the Empire does back in my world."

Pause.

"A 'school' is a place where they teach you about combat, isn't it? Have they done the wolf-in-a-box lesson for you yet?"

Re: Visual

[tsunpony]

"Ah... we don't actually do that in my home world. It's a lot more peaceful. This one? Well, it's dumb but I don't think we have live timberwolves in boxes right now."

What a odd question. Did all green-maned women she knew always had odd ideas about school? First Neph now this one?

[terraburning]

"I never did see the point of that lesson - in all the time since then there haven't been any monsters inside chests."

A reflective pause.

"...I think he might have just wanted to make us fight a wolf."

"Hot nerd girl" huh? Uh... what's your problem with a complement?

Re: [visual]

[tsunpony]

It's just not... I dunno, I don't feel like its me. Even if it is a complement from the popular cliques.

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

You can't expect your classmates to know who you are right off the bat, if that's what you're worrying about. But uh how is that complement not acceptable?

[He's really curious because there was a time he was single and would have been one of the guys asking for a phone number.]

Re: [visual]

[tsunpony]

I dunno! I just... grwah, it doesn't make sense why "hot nerd girl" would throw me off so much. I'm just used to not being hit on? Maybe? I don't even know. Typical high school environments aren't a THING in Kanon Town. We're usually too busy focusing on classical music.

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Does it... surprise you? That you're considered attractive? It really shouldn't.
