[ Stop that! Stop that!!!!!! ]

No? It was a one-time thing.

[ sorry, claude. ]

[chevaliered]

And that! Is one time too many.

[ PAT.

okay he's done. ]

You've giving me white hairs, Nier.

[amain]

Your hair is kind of white already.

[ HE HOLDS CROW'S HAND HOSTAGE CAUSE STOP. NO MORE PAT FACE. ]

You're not laying down here because the game stressed you out, right?

[chevaliered]

Whiter. It'll fall out next, then where will I be?

[ ha. ]

Nah, I'm lying down here because I don't want to go back to the dorms yet and you can only wander around so much before that gets old.

[amain]

You'd be bald.

[ In case Crow didn't know. ]

... There really isn't much to do aside from school. The scenery stays the same, too.

[chevaliered]

[ snort. ]

Thanks for the explanation.

[ hrrrrgggghghggggg. ]

Yeah, if you’re not into sports then all the new stuff’ll only keep you entertained for so long.

[amain]

[ Poke poke poke. ]

Did you enjoy class, at least?

[chevaliered]

[ bats at his handsies. non. ]

… I mean, define enjoy. There were a lot of people running around in lyric and I think it had a traumatic effect on me? I can’t say yet, too soon.

[amain]

[ He stops for a bit... Then pokes again. ]

What about the classes on your student directory profile?

[ Nier learned many new words at school to describe things. ]

[chevaliered]

[ oof. ]

I’ve been told we can find them, they’re just usually fully booked so we’ll struggle to find a space. I was planning on have a nosy at them at some point soon…. maybe not the military tactics one though, I already did like two years of that.

[ nier so smrt ] Why, did you manage to nab yourself a place on one of yours?

[amain]

Nope... Though I'm wondering what's taught in these classes. I couldn't really catch anything when I tried to eavesdrop.

[ Curiosity. ]

[chevaliered]

Just walk in with purpose. Like you’re meant to be there. Own it.

[amain]

[ Cocks an eyebrow. ]

And risk getting caught?

[chevaliered]

Own it.

Do something with enough confidence and you don’t get questioned too much.

[amain]

You're really pitching a "fake it till you make it" deal.

[ He sighs... And pokes Crow some more. ]

[chevaliered]

Nier, Nier buddy. Nier.

90 per cent of life is fake it until you make it. You think any of us know what the hell we're doing at any given moment?

[ no pokey. he mushes a hand into nier's face again. ]

[amain]

10% is still knowing something.

[ oKAY, ENOUGH. Nier will take both hands. No more smushing his face. ]

[chevaliered]

[ awww, handholding. crow is absolutely gonna wave their hands around. haha. ]

Barely anything. I believe in your power to bullshit.

[amain]

[ It's more like he's holding a cat's paws so it doesn't whack him. ]

I usually prefer to be honest.

[chevaliered]

[ no it's handholdy wavey time. ]

Alright then, look at it from this angle - do those classes interest you?

[amain]

... A bit. I'm curious if these are really supposed to fit me, despite how the dorm heads said they don't know much about us.

[ Curious, yet also suspicious. ]

[chevaliered]

So use some of that honesty. Walk into the class and say you're curious. Ask if you can stand or sit at the back and watch. Make it work for you.

[ figure out whether this place has as much of a read on you as the profiles suggest, sir. ]

[amain]

Want to come next time I try?

[ Might as well ask Crow. ]

[chevaliered]

Sure. You have some idea of where they're being held?

[ class hopping lesgo lesgo ]

[amain]

I can make some guesses.

[ class hopping class hopping. ]

We can try sneaking into yours, too.
