Subject: Schools Can Rule!

Hi everyone! :3 My name is Meilin Lee, but you can call me Mei! \o/ Nice to meet you!

So I've been here for like a month (wow!) and I've noticed one super huge important thing this place is missing.

SCHOOL.

Okay so hear me out : I know school isn't like FUN fun for everyone, but! Look at how many posts with people asking to be taught things or offering to teach people things? Plus, us newbies still need to know how to work all this dream energy emotion stuff, and it'd kinda be nicer to do it in a classroom setting instead of when I'm running for my life from a noctare.

Plus, what if when we wake up our minds are all tired and goopy from lack of knowledge? We gotta keep our brains energized!

Here's what we need for a good school -
A building with lots of room
Desks
Lockers
Chalkboards + chalk
Bookshelves
Teachers

There's probably a bunch of other stuff too but this is a work in progress! We should all work together on ideas to make this happen! I know we like a lot of money for it (and I still think it is SUPER WEIRD that dreams need money???) but maybe if we all pitch in a little at a time it'll all come together!

I'm open to any and all ideas!!!! I hope you all have a great day!!!! :DDD

Oh, literature and composition! Yes, those are very important subjects.

[ But why is literature called English? Why wouldn't it just be called literature?? Zelda isn't the kind of person to criticize someone's culture, but this just seems silly. ]

With so many subjects, this school will require a small army of tutors. Have you had any volunteers yet?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ listen the english language is just a bunch of incomprehensible rules stacked on top of each other in a trench coat pretending to be a real language

or as Mei would say, I dunno.]

We've got one or two so far, but I'm sure we'll get more as the word spreads. Rome wasn't built in a day!

[ pause. considering. ]

That's a saying in our world cause Rome was a really amazing city that needed a long time to be built, so it means like "don't expect awesome things to happen immediately".

They're special flowers native to Songerein that my friends discovered. You won't find them in any school curriculum about herbology, but something about them is able to ward off the noctaere.

Maybe I could give you some, so that it won't be so scary if you run into them again.

My best friends are Tomoyo-chan and Syaoran-kun! But there were others too, at school. If we talk about them, at least, we'll know if each other's friends also come here too to help them out, right? And it'll be a good way to keep remembering them, I think.

So not necessarily boring things like battle tactics, then?

[Hilda's school maaaaaaay be a medieval military academy, so her experience is a touch skewed.]

We dont need no stinking school!!

Aint never gon to school meself n I'm learning just fine without it! Just throw a few books around n that's that!

[iracorn]

Nothing so special. They can talk to anyone.

Though they can be a bit long-winded if you get them going.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

That would be so great! I ran (swam???) away from my first one and it was really scary. Thank goodness Hunter was there, he got us to safety!

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Exactly! Just be prepared - I could go on and on about my besties for days!

[twilightskey]

Is school really that important?

[Roxas doesn't mean it in a mean way, but out of genuine curiousity. Technically, he's never been to school; he knows OF school, and has memories of school (both from Sora and the fake memories from his time in that alternate Twilight Town), but in terms of actually, personally going? He's never been. And he's a little curious, especially with how everyone had talked about it.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ ...wh-what ]

do you mean like

self defense classes???

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ yikes - she knew she'd get some negativity, but this is the harshest one yet! ]

no one is gunna make you go or anything

but it might be a bummer to miss out, since so many people are gunna do it

might make a person feel left out

big shame if that happened

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Do they ever get lonely, you think?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Of course it is! Not only does it help you learn all you need to know, it helps you decide what you'll do in your life, and improve your talents, and make all kinds of friends!

[ why WOULDN'T you wanna go to school??? ]

[twilightskey]

Really? I had no idea… everyone I talked to about school made it sound like a lot of work.

[iracorn]

Possibly. Though, I think it is more that they are looking for others who share their enthusiasm.

[judicialassistant]

[ Swam? ]

I've not met Hunter yet, but I am glad he protected you! Perhaps he would help with the school as well.

I'll bring the flowers when we meet next. They are blue and they glow, so you can't miss them.

[hashtagwoof]

[ Wow, thanks for reminding him how much his life's been derailed at this point. Stupid crate must have made him miss one or two terms of online schooling already. Which means he might have to repeat the 8th year, most likely in person or something, all because of his horrid great auntie and her obsession with getting a stupid fur coat made from from a bunch of--

It's fine. It's fine. Mei is offering a solution. Maybe if he plays along, he can earn brownie points with her and avoid playing catch up. Maybe. ]

Wow, Mei. You seem really hyped up for this!

[keystaff]

Oh, I probably could too! I'm sure everyone is the same about their friends. They're important. Special.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Work can be fun too! Like the feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!

[multidisciplinary]

[ English is a bully, skulking in alleyways, beating up other languages and taking their words. Truly the worst language. ]

Ah, thank you for the clarification! We've no such idiom in my kingdom, but I am certainly familiar with the sentiment.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Enthusiasm for what?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

I owe you one! Seriously, name the favor and I'll do it!

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Of course I am! School's an important part of my life - of everyone's life back home! And I think it'd give us all a sense of normalcy when things get even more weird around here.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

And then if they show up here, we can gush about each other!
