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, I miss school terribly! The bookshelves will not be much use without the books to fill them with, but maybe the Tree of Stories can help with that at last. I would love to see this dream of yours become reality, Mei. You can count on me to do what I can to help.

[ There's a pause as she's looking over what they're both written. She hasn't really considered money as a serious probably in a while, with most of the items she needs for everyday life available via simple bartering.

For the sake of knowledge, though? Whatever it takes. ]

I suppose for the time being there might be a room in the library you could use? I think I saw a few empty spaces the last time I was there.

[And since he frequents it regularly he can easily double check]

That is, if you're eager to get started.

You put in emotes when you're writing by hand?

It's not a bad idea, though. But it's been a while since I was in school so I've got nothing.

You might end up needing more people to carry things and move stuff around.

Let me lend you my strength.

Mei, I'm on break from school while I'm here. Why would you bring it up?

[ He's teasing, but only about the break thing. Back home, school is a responsibility, although he absolutely doesn't mind it. This world just happens to be a bit more fun. ]

Anyway, I'll help however I can. My strengths would lie in assisting if we need to actually erect a new building, but otherwise I'd love to volunteer as a teacher. I can donate some books about the local flora and fauna here, too.

[ They're handwritten by himself, but they're detailed and come with fairly okay sketches. ]

A school is a wonderful idea! Goodness, I've always wanted to go to a school! I will be happy to assist if I can, although I know very little about how to make a school.

[ When you're a princess, you get private tutors. It's really not fun at all. ]

Okay, but if this school thing happens it's going to be optional right?

[Hilda's a bad enough student back home, so she definitely does not want to deal with the responsibility of school here.]

I was wondering about if there was a school when I arrived here too! I wasn't sure if there was one. I guess it's just. Habit? To go? To have lessons. It would be strange to be at school somewhere else. Without my friends. But. I would still want to try. It would be more useful to gather everyone newer that wants to learn this world's magic for example. I'm not sure what I could do to help exactly but.

No way no way! I don't want to think about school! I'm finally gettin' a much needed break from school ya know!

[ But she does seem pretty passionate about the idea. And crushing her dreams isn't really something he wants to do... dang it. ]

But fiiine. Maybe I can help somewhere. I'm not really the studious type though.

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!

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.]

[ 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!

Well, well, isn't this a pleasant surprise? 'Tis always heartening to see the young take pride in their continuing education.

I'd say it reminds me of my own school days, but I wasn't nearly as invested.

[He always preferred the company more than the work.]

That said, I do have a couple of questions, if you will indulge me.

One: what significance do lockers have with regards to education? I assume a difference in cultures is at play, but I am curious nonetheless.

Two: why does your "emoticon" (I think that's the correct word for it, anyroad) have multiple mouths?
