[A]

[You're minding your own business, probably in a park, when a cat comes bounding by intent on some prey. A stray, maybe? But she's an awfully pretty one...

Well, it probably doesn't matter, right?]

Stop wiggling!

[--Wait. Did that cat just talk?]

[B]



[There's a young girl staring at the street with interest as the various cars pass by. But despite being at a crosswalk, she hasn't actually hit the button.

Instead, she darts out into the traffic, causing an uproar of horns and squealing tires. If your character is fast enough, they might be able to catch her before she gets hurt...!]

[C]



[You were probably in the middle of explaining something on the network when this girl chimes in, looking puzzled.]

What's a _____?

[It doesn't even have to be a particularly difficult or complicated word. Rather, it seems this girl isn't all that familiar with certain basic human concepts...]

[allformii_ko]

I don't like it.

[So she won't do it and you can't make her.]

[trainwrecking]

Seriously..? It wasn't that bad...

[allformii_ko]

It's stupid! I don't want to use it!

[trainwrecking]

I'm not going to get anywhere with this, am I.

[Siiigh. Cats.]

You're pretty impossible... What, uh... what year are you, anyway?

[allformii_ko]

[Tilting her head...

What do you mean by year?

1/2

[trainwrecking]

[She's kidding, right? She must be kidding. So at first, he gives only silence in response.]

2/2

[trainwrecking]

[Except this is the same girl who ran across heavy traffic because she thought everyone would just stop.

It is entirely possible that she doesn't know what a "school" is, despite looking the part.]

... Year as in... school year. You do go to school, don't you? This just gets weirder and weirder.

[allformii_ko]

No, I don't.

[How was she supposed to know kids her (apparent) age are supposed to be in school?]

That's what Elly does.

[trainwrecking]

[Is it wrong to want to say "maybe you should start?"]

You... don't. But you look like--! Er... It's probably not my business to pry, but just because this "Elly" person does it, doesn't mean she's the only one who should.

[Aka MAYBE YOU SHOULD START.]

[allformii_ko]

What is it, anyway?

[She's

Being entirely serious here.]

[trainwrecking]

[What is what? Surely she can't mean--]

-- School?

[allformii_ko]

What else would I be talking about?

[trainwrecking]

[How are you even able to function...]

How can you possibly be a teenager and not kn--

No. I would say "you have to be kidding me." But at this point I'm not even surprised. School is that place where you go to learn how to do important things like reading, writing, math... I guess clubs too if you're into that.

[allformii_ko]

[The same way most cats function!

Magic.]

-! So that's where you learn how to read?

[trainwrecking]

Do you not know how?

[allformii_ko]

No.

[Said as if that isn't strange at all.]

oh my god I meant reading

[trainwrecking]

I guess writing is out then too. So. Uh... What are your best skills?

[It's a nicer way of asking "what do you actually know how to do???"]

[allformii_ko]

I'm really good at catching things.

["Things."]

I don't know why all I could focus on was "reading" even in my edits ugh..!!

[trainwrecking]

Catching... things. Care to elaborate on what those things might be..?

[He physically braces for the answer.]

/patpat

[allformii_ko]

Snakes, mice, rats, and birds.

[She counts them off on her hand.]

[trainwrecking]

Ahhhhh... huh.

[WELL THEN.]

You do use... traps, right? Please tell me you're smart about this. [PLEASE.]

[allformii_ko]

Why would I need traps?

[trainwrecking]

S-so you use your hands?! Those things could have rabies, you could die!

[Well, okay, it's probably not that bad and he's never heard of a rabid snake, but still!!]

[allformii_ko]

What's the problem with using hands? I haven't gotten sick or anything!

[trainwrecking]

Maybe not yet... Could I at least get you some gloves or something?
