[everybodypanic]

Yeah, I didn't listen to whatever whats-her-name was going on about. Me and lectures don't get along all that well.

TL;DR and all that.

[There's some audible yet undecipherable chirping and squeaking in the backgroud.]

Aw shut up, Shiro. Who asked you?!

[The audience might not know what "Shiro" just said, but Jinx was not only able to clearly understand, but be annoyed by whatever it was.]

Anyways, do I really get to do whatever I want while I'm here?

Let's talk more about that.

[monochromatically]

[Another new person… There’d been a lot of those lately. Along with some static interference, there’s a small voice can be heard on the other end of the line.]

I think so. Kinda… What stuff do you want to do?

[everybodypanic]

Not go to school.

Or take tests.

Or study.

[Ah, Jinx. So simple.]

[monochromatically]

Oh… [Simple, but hey Mono actually knows the answer to this one.] No one’s made me go to school or anything, and I’ve been here a while. I dunno if there’s a school here.

[Has Mono looked? No, not really. Why look for a place you didn’t want to go?]

[everybodypanic]

Not having to go to school is great and all...

[It's not, actually.]

But what exactly is there to do for fun around here? Don't tell me this is just another snoozefest.

[monochromatically]

[Snoozefest was a weird word, so the kid was undoubtedly going to try it out sometime.]

There’s a park, and an arena, and a circus…? [He ticked off the list in his head, not really sure what they thought was fun. Everyone else seemed to think they were fun places to visit though, so that was as good of an answer as any… right?] And I think they have festivals and stuff. There’s supposed to be one this month.

[hellofishies]

Mostly! There are some spooky places but nobody would stop you from going there. Whose Shiro?

[ voice ]

[everybodypanic]

Shiro's one of my guns!

[That same unintelligible chirping and squeaking is heard once again. Seems a bit agitated...]

Now, now. We've been through this already! I do the pointing and the shooting.

All you two gotta do is look menacing.

[Wait, two?]

[hellofishies]

Your guns talk to you? What do they usually talk about?

[everybodypanic]

Nothing interesting, that's for sure.

[More angry chirps]

I keep telling them that they're the guns and I'm the Guardian but they just don't seem to listen, you know?

[hellofishies]

Maybe they want to be the Guardian too! Can't you all share the title?

audio

[soulsword]

That depends. What do you want to do?

audio

[everybodypanic]

I, uh...

I don't know, honestly.

[She'd thought about what it would be like if she didn't have to be a Star Guardian or go to school and study. And now that the moment's here, Jinx doesn't quite know what to do.]

... Huh.

[soulsword]

Well, what a predicament to be in. The freedom to do anything you want but no idea what to do with it.

[everybodypanic]

Look, I don't really do much planning alright? It's never been my style.

[soulsword]

What is your style then?

audio

[mostlycloudy]

Sure. Just don't get in our way.

audio

[everybodypanic]

What's that supposed to mean?

In the way of what?

audio

[mostlycloudy]

Don't know yet. Maybe nothing, but if you start hurting people, we'll have a problem.

audio

[everybodypanic]

Hey I just got here okay?!

Why the heck would I be doing any of that?

Re: audio

[mostlycloudy]

I don't know. People are sick.

[But maybe he assumed too much. Maybe.]

...what do you want to do?

Audio

[kree_soldieress]

[Ah, someone also eager to enjoy some freedom from what they had been expected to do back home.]

I have been here for a while and can confirm that you can do what you wish here. I am becoming a blacksmith and growing a garden!

Audio

[everybodypanic]

[That sounds really... boring.]

You do anything you want and you picked that?

[kree_soldieress]

Yes. I am strong and I can be useful that way.

[everybodypanic]

Sure, I guess if that's what you wanna do...

So you like make weapons and stuff, yeah?

[kree_soldieress]

I have not begun to do such work yet. I'm learning how to make metal wire!
