ANNOUNCEMENT 012

[intercom_voice]

[Whoops. She's running a little late it seems, for today, the intercoms buzz into action a little late.]

Ahem. Attention, students!

[The husky voice of - well, the Voice that speaks over the intercom - echoes through the halls.]

Now that we're all done with our bout of spring sickness, it's time to buckle down to our studies! Remember that tests may appear at any time, and it would be such a shame if you were all to fail and be kept back another year.

And don't forget to be welcoming to our new arrivals, won't you? They're quite behind the times, after all.

[The intercom is not a face but that doesn't stop him from glaring death at it.]

And what sort of tests does this "school" administer?

[intercom_voice]

Now, now, if I told you that, they wouldn't be much of a test now, would they?

[It's as if her smile is audible in her voice... Silly X, she's not letting you cheat!]

[replicatastrophe]

[Don't you give him that tone.]

You aren't providing any material to study either, so we aren't receiving much of an education to prepare for them.

[intercom_voice]

Oh, but you're wrong! I've given you all sorts of things to learn! If you're not learning anything, then clearly you're not studying hard enough.

[replicatastrophe]

[He would get even angrier at that, but he supposes as a technicality learning what he wants to about the energy supply counted as something to study. He doubted that was her entire angle, but even so...]

Very well. After learning what we need, what are the requirements for graduating this establishment?

[intercom_voice]

[Oh, you poor little thing, you think she's going to tell you?]

The conditions for graduation are for you to discover on your own. You don't need me to hold your hand, do you?

But here's a tip, since I'm sure you must never have been to school before to ask such a silly thing. When you've learned everything you need to, you'll graduate.

[What you need to learn though? If there even is an actual requirement, she ain't telling you.]

[replicatastrophe]

Fine. I'll learn what I need, and expect to be able to leave post-haste. Not all of us can afford to be kept here indefinitely and walk in circles; we have responsibilities to see to.

[intercom_voice]

As of now, your responsibilities are towards the school. There's no need to worry about the outside world. The life of a student is hard, but the rewards are worth it!
