You can just hang out, relax. Well, as much as possible in a place like Trench anyway. The Archives are really cool if you like to read. Ooh! And the school, you can learn just about anything you want there.
[Sayo hadn't gone to school since her early teens. She told herself it was because she needed to focus on work, but really, she just couldn't bear the pitying and disgusted looks of her classmates whenever they glanced at her shabby form.
But if people were liable to transform into horrifying beasts at the drop of a depression spiral, then maybe she wouldn't get as many weird looks. Especially if the uniform policy let her pad. Sayo can't lie, the prospect of actually getting to learn excites her.
There is one obstacle, though.]
I think I'd quite enjoy that, Miss Willow... but, um. [She blushes.] I dropped out before middle school for work-related reasons. Is there really a place for someone like me...?
Oh, you don't have to call me 'Miss' - just Willow's fine.
Anyway, I don't see why there wouldn't be a place for you there - from what I've seen, they've got classes for all different skill levels there. They just kind of go by what you can handle instead of, like, an official grade. You can always just go audit a few courses and see if it feels like the right fit.
[She will absolutely encourage anyone to further their education, no matter what grade level they're at.]
I used to tutor some in high school, and I used to help my friend's sister sometimes with her homework - I can help you, too, if you need it.
That's good to hear! [But if Sayo has to be held back to an even younger class than what she's already used to she might blow her top.]
I'll... definitely ask for help if I need it. No need to worry! [Said like a lying liar who lies. It isn't even about self-loathing this time; Sayo is just too hardheaded to accept help over something as trivial as homework if she can help it.]
...thank you, M- um, Willow. [Mostly for reasons of pure practicality; Sayo doesn't have enough confidence in her scrawny nerd muscles to fend off a Beast if one was to jump her in the middle of Trench, as she understands is a common problem.] What sort of classes do t hey teach there? Is it just, er, normal school stuff, or...
[Willow gets the distinct impression that Sayo is wiggling her fingers in a vaguely mystical way on the other end of the line.]
They have classes on pretty much everything, from what I've seen. Both the standard stuff, and the weird stuff you're probably only going to see here, like blood magic and stuff.
[She shrugs a little.]
It just kind of depends on what you want to learn about.
[Willow can't see it, but Sayo's eyes are dilating like a cat who's just spotted a very compelling red dot at the mention of blood magic. Just wait until she finds out that Willow is an actual witch.]
I'll, um, come with you and see what catches my eye, then...
[Sayo is able to contain her excitement about maybe potentially learning real actual magic, but only just barely.]
[Despite how timid she sounds, Sayo really is looking forward to this. It's just the notion of taking a guided tour with one of Ange's friends that's intimidating.]

I'm there almost every day. You can come with me, if you want, so you can check it out?

Well, great! I'm looking forward to it.
do you want to do this as a wildcard thread in the log?
