Subject: An Observation???

okay so i've been here a while now and i've noticed something

i don't know the exact process of how the gods or people or whatever here pick people to help out

i don't know if it's completely random or an intricate process to determine who helps out but lately i've been leaning towards the latter for two reasons

one, i haven't met a single jerk or bully or even rude person here which is legit amazing and awesome BUT

SECOND

IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION OR IS EVERYONE HERE LIKE INSANELY RIDICIOUSLY GOOD LOOKING

REALLY THO

ALL THE ADULTS COULD BE SUPER-MODELS AND ALL THE KIDS COULD BE LIKE THOSE ON HIGH SCHOOL DRAMAS ON TV

i mean this is doing wonders for my own self-confidence regarding my looks but FOR REAL I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THIS

PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE HAS NOTICED THIS

aw, thanks! and right back at you! i'll be your own personal cheerleader for anything and everything you've got your heart set on!

[itsgunnabe_mei]

find as much extra credit as I can to try and convince the teacher I can do better! then promise my mom it won't happen again!

[itsgunnabe_mei]

challenge accepted

[itsgunnabe_mei]

easier said than done buddy

cause every time i look at a hot guy, my brain goes POOF and all my thoughts are gone!

[herewardbound]

I'm sorry, how old are you?

[katonking]

What if you just looked at it differently? It just means that you two see more beauty than everyone else.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

13. why???

[startraveler]

I'm definitely not someone who would do that...

[itsgunnabe_mei]

that is a pretty positive way to put it

now the problem is my brain kind of explodes when exposed to "too much beauty". especially dudes.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

exactly! so have some more self-confidence!!!

[herewardbound]

of course

Look, try to remember that there are real people behind all the 'eye candy'. Most people aren't comfortable with being eyeballed like a cut of meat by pubescent girls.

Ridiculously good looking, for sure! Just don't tell some of the people here that, or they'll get a big head.

The next time I run into you, I have to know some names of very notable lookers. Thirst is best when shared.

[katonking]

[She looks at that last line of text and she laughs slightly.]

Not sure I can help you there with that one. Have you considered putting it into something...productive? Like art or something? Or writing?

[stupidmammon]

I can't wait to see what you throw at me.

[angelbirth]

Got it.

[ So she gets the good grades not necessarily for herself, but for her mother... and her teachers. What a people pleaser. ]

Just so we're clear, there will be no grades when we practice dreamotion magic. You're almost certainly going to fail at first, but you'll get there eventually. I won't maintain a gradebook for you.

[keystaff]

You think so? I'm not sure if I would call that a job exactly or anything. I just tried on clothes she made. And sometimes she would do the costumes for our school plays I was in.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

they aren't? i mean, i guess i never asked, but they do look kinda confused about it

[itsgunnabe_mei]

oh thank goodness a second person agreed

i don't feel completely and utterly dumb now

[itsgunnabe_mei]

um

the last time i did that, things did not end well

[ insert traumatic flashback of her mom discovering said art and the... chaos... that ensued. shudder shudder. ]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ you can almost hear the sound of hard brakes being slammed in her brain ]

wait wait wait

how else are we supposed to tell if i'm doing it right???? how else are we supposed to keep track of my progress?????

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Wow, Tomoyo sounds super amazing! She makes costumes for you and the school? like, all the time???

[startraveler]

Alright. I will, don't worry.

[angelbirth]

You either do or you don't. If you don't produce dreamotion magic, then it's a failure. But dreamotion is used in a variety of ways. You can create things with it, move objects, change appearances, etc.

I'm a demon, so I have a fantastic sense when it comes to magic. Even if it's the tiniest droplet of magic, I'll know. Since the goal is to get you utilizing dreamotion energy, anything you produce will be considered a success.

You'll just have to take my word on whether you're progressing or plateauing.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

is "Aether" your name??? it's nice to meet you!

[songbird_slayer]

You appreciate fine art, Mei! There's nothing shameful in taking in the beauty all around you.

Feelings like these don't entirely stop for some, either! There's a man here I can never stop looking at and it makes him very blushy and adorable when he notices.
