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

[ Oof! Susato lets out a surprised noise at the yank. Powerful pull for a small girl! Almost as if she had the arms of a certain large and fuzzy animal... but the same could probably be said of Susato herself. Susato distantly thinks of Iris as she returns the hug, careful not to crush the Dawns. ]

You're very welcome.

[ She giggles. She is pretty content to stay there for a while longer, but then the temperature starts to rise a little bit. Eventually she pulls back, suddenly reaching for something in one of her kimono sleeves. ]

Ah! And one more thing, before I forget.

Oh, right, the magic bauble things!

[ She pulls back, also very excited to see these! She knows she should be wary, but come oooon, this is so cool! And she'll be careful! ]

If this works out, we can have shared custody of Robaire Junior! After all you've done for me, it wouldn't be fair not to share!

[ As Mei says it, Susato pulls out a small decorated tin where she keeps her baubles. She twists open the tin, showing that he has exactly 3. She plucks one out of the container and offers it to Mei in a laugh. ]

It is my pleasure. I've used it before... only to test it, mind you, but amazingly, it did work. I have the instructions too, here.

[ Tucked inside the tin is a small slip of paper, almost like a fortune cookie. It reads: "Hope you had fun during the festival! Throw this into Wishing Well to receive a special item from home. Just imagine the item and it will appear (watch out for the glitter)." ]

[ Tiny excited gaaasp. ]

They're soooo pretty... I really wanna wear jewelry like that some day...

[ Mom says she's too young for it now, but someday! And gosh, Mei is so very close to being an adult!!!! ]

So I guess the next stop is the wishing well. Guess this place takes everything super literally, huh?

[ She laughs. Honestly, they'll have go shopping one day and make it a girls' day. Or maybe Susato can work on making her something... but until then, she'll try to guide Mei best she can. ]

You could say that. Someone once told me this place is capable of conveying your feelings.

So... perhaps it is just responding to our wishes.

I still really have a lot to learn about this place... but I'm an awesome student, so, I'm totally not worried.

[ She's still worried, but let's jam that down real deep. Instead, continuing the loads of physical affection, she takes Susato's hand. ]

So which way is the well?

[ She takes Mei's hand easily, squeezing slightly to reassure her despite everything. (Mei says she's not worried, but Susato knows better.) ]

Oh, sorry. It's this way. Just follow me.

[ Not that she has much of a choice. Susato isn't letting go, but they don't have far to go either way. To lighten things somewhat, Susato jokes as they walk, referencing a dreamscape that they both seemed to enjoy together: ]

Do you miss the tail?

[ Mei momentairly freezes. DID SUSATO SEE THE PANDA TAIL?! WHEN?! NO NO NO SHE'D BEEN SO GOOD AT HIDING IT FROM AT LEAST ONE PERSON!!! ]

T-t-tail? What tail? I-I-I don't have a -

[ ... wait. they met as mermaids. ]

... OH. YES. THE FISH THING. Ahahahahahahaha NO I'm good! I'd rather stay my normal completely one-hundred-percent-human self, thank you very much!

[ She smiles as hard as she can, hoping her palms have not gotten 10x sweatier. everythingisfine.gif]

[ Her hand does feel a little more slippery suddenly, but maybe Susato just imagine it. She squeezes, once again in reassurance, though now she feels a little bad as well. Maybe she shouldn't have said that, or maybe she didn't enjoy herself as much at it had seemed. ]

Hah. Well...me, too, but we had fun, didn't we? Hm, now how did it go again...?

[ She doesn't remember, because she is a bad 4townie, but you can probably hear some "Oh my, oh my"s under her breath as they turn a corner, the well coming into view. ]

[ Exhaaaaaaale. Thank goodness Susato is so very nice and doesn't suspect a thing. Mei swallows, straightening her spine - oh hey! If it ain't her favorite tune!

Now instantly calmed thanks to her fav bois, she beams a little mischievously. ]

They're stuck in your mind now, aren't they? Can't blame you.

[ The humming stops. Susato suddenly feels self-conscious when she looks at Mei, but it is easy for her to stay in good spirits around her, at least. ]

No, but I can blame you.

[ There is a slight grin. They're a few steps closer now, so Susato points. ]

There, look. That's it.

Oh, sweet!

[ She picks up the pace, dragging Susato along and only stopping when they're right in front it. This is also when she lets go of Susato's hand so she can take out a bauble. ]

So... I just have to picture Robaire Junior super, super hard?

[ Susato can't help peering down the well, distantly wondering how far it goes down; but she nods, since that's basically she did the first time. ]

Yes. While you imagine him, toss the bauble into the well. Oh, but be sure to take a few steps back.

[ "Watch out for the glitter." ]

All right... here we go.

[ After taking the instructed few steps back, Mei closes her eyes, both hands on her bauble. Imagine the feel of the plastic in her hands... the sound his adorable beeps... the image of his smiling pixel face... And TOSS! ]

There! Mama's here, Robaire Junior!

[ She opens her arms, ready to embrace what really just fits in the palm of her hand -

BWOOSH!

- and instead enters glitter hell. She hadn't expected THAT much glitter - as a result, she yelps, and falls backwards! But instead of trying to catch herself, she slaps her hands on her head, hoping to prevent any panda ears from popping out. ]

Oof...!

?!

[ Well, Mei might not try to catch herself, but Susato will. Instead of plopping onto the ground, Mei will feel Susato's hands on her shoulders pushing back against her as she falls back. It isn't entirely strange anyway, to see Mei's hands slap onto her head like that, but she isn't thinking about that.

There is a gasp, but before Susato can ask if Mei is alright, the bauble Mei tossed comes flying back up and out of the well. It's hard to tell, but it's definitely coming straight for Susato, and hits her on the head with an audible thunk when she isn't prepared to catch it in her hands.

Ouch. ]

[ What just happened?! Mei removes her hands from her head - no extra ears, thank goodness! - but tries to turn around... ]

Susato! Are you okay? What happened?! Why did it spit it out like that? Do I have to fight a well?!

[ She'll fight a well! She doesn't give a shit! YOU WANNA HURT HER FRIEND, WELL? YOU WANNA THROW DOWN??? ]

[ So much shouting...! Truthfully, it doesn't hurt that much, but Susato does find herself rubbing at the spot of impact, groaning as Mei's words process. She shakes her head. ]

What? O, Oh, no, please don't!

[ Though the panda would probably win, tbh. She shakes the sleeves of her kimono, glitter coming off in droves. It's probably in her hair, too. ]

I am perfectly fine. Just... um, very sparkly... [ She bends down when she sees the bauble, which had rolled onto the floor after bouncing off her head. ] I don't know what happened. It wouldn't accept my bauble?

[ Even though Susato wasn't hurt too badly, Mei still feels pretty guilty. ]

I'm so sorry... maybe the wish was too... high-tech? Like, they don't even have computers here, so maybe what I wanted was too hard?

But... that can't be it. This well has granted living creatures. I once took care of a dog named Blossom who appeared this way... and Kazuma-sama, too. He wished for Fang.

[ She doesn't think to clarify that Fang is a dragon. Surely something hi-tech couldn't be more difficult than a living, breathing creature?

Truly a conundrum. But truthfully, though she looks to be deep in thought, truly the simplest explanation must be that these baubles are tied to the dreamer who received them somehow. She holds the bauble out in her hands, examining it. It's not like it says her name outright, but... ]

What?! You can get dogs and dragons from there, but not tamagatchis?!

[ Not to worry, she's met Fang and his owner already. One less problem... among so, so many. She huffs out of the side of her mouth, thinking of giving the well a kick. She doesn't, but the thought was there. ]

So unfair... but I guess we can't really do anything about it. Not like we can complain to the manager of dreams.

[ Much as she loves Mom, she doesn't really wanna take after her in sense of going Full Karen on anybody. ]

[ When she puts it that way, it really is unfair. As a woman from the 19th century though, she should probably used to it by now. Even when were hoping things would change, or at least star to... she had to wake up here. ]

Hm.

[ There's nothing she can do. She offers the bauble to Mei. ]

Well... you should hold onto it anyway. Someday you'll get your own. Maybe you can compare them and see if they are different somehow. [ Plus... it'd be like a cheesy token of her friendship? ]

[ Mei does look surprised - she'd been ready to hand the bauble right back over, since it was a fail. ]

Really? Are you sure?

[ She then smiles warmly, touched by the gesture. Daw. Susato's a good egg. ]

... Thanks so much! Even if it doesn't work, a gift from a friend is way better than any dog, dragon, or dream-gatchi!

[ Susato laughs. This Robaire Jr must be pretty amazing to join the likes of a dog or a dragon, and even then, Mei holds her small gesture of friendship above that. Well, even if she did wish for more of her case notes, she has no idea what she would do with them anyway. Truth be told, they'd probably just make her sad. ]

I don't know about that.

[ She is touched, though. Mei is a good egg, too. ]

...But you're welcome.
