It's come to my attention that Beverly has nominated me for a seat on the council. I don't want it. I have more than enough to do with the school.

School here is a bit different. So long as you know the basics you can study what you prefer.

[hellofishies]

Is that really school then?

[nobasisinfact]

So long as there is learning, yes.

[hellofishies]

You can learn anywhere though, can't you?

[nobasisinfact]

And anywhere can be a school.

[hellofishies]

Schools have to have structure though, don't they? And structure is no fun.

[nobasisinfact]

The only thing a school needs is learning and curious minds.

[hellofishies]

Are you a teacher back in your home?

[nobasisinfact]

I'm a professor, yes.

[hellofishies]

What are you a professor of?

[nobasisinfact]

Religious studies and psychology, but here, I do whatever is ncessary.

[hellofishies]

Oh, we had psychologists try to figure us out once.

[nobasisinfact]

Us?

[hellofishies]

Me and my friends. They wanted to figure out why we were the way we were.

[nobasisinfact]

That seems rather existential of them.

[hellofishies]

Not really. They wanted to understand our powers and how we got them.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[hellofishies]

It's okay, no need to be sorry. People always want to understand what they don't know, right?

[nobasisinfact]

They do. Often times in dangerous ways.

[hellofishies]

Almost always in dangerous ways. And then things go very badly for them usually.

[nobasisinfact]

They do. Those that try to learn by putting the subject in danger are monsters.

[He's thinking of Thomas Warren, but historically, there's still truth there.]

[hellofishies]

They thought we were the monsters. But we were just kids. Though, I guess, everyone has a little monster in them somewhere.

[nobasisinfact]

I assume they were mistaken.

[hellofishies]

About most of us. Some of us had a little monster that got pushed out.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm sorry to hear that.
