Whoa. Hold on. Time out, dudes. So school was pretty OK at first, and I guess there was a buncha stuff that was good to know. I had no idea Napoleon crossed the Saraha on an elephant; I thought he was just the guy who invented that triple ice cream flavor. And the difference between geometry and geography is pretty obvious now, looking back.  But this is just gettin' lame!  Why the heck is there homework every day? Who invented midterms? And how do any of you guys have time for video games after going through all of this junk?!

You're all with me on this, right? I did fine teaching myself before; is there like someone I can talk to to get outta class?  I'm pretty much set for life schoolwise already.  I before t except after g, triangles have 360 angles, blahblah, see?

[action, high school]
[Beast Boy is so over this school thing.  The next day, instead of a skinny green boy sitting in his desk, there is a small, green cat curled up on top, taking a nap.  This persists in every class apart from lunch and gym.]  

[action, makeout point]
[Sometime after Valentine's Day, Beast Boy flutters up to the top of the mountain and transforms back into his usual self, sitting with his legs dangling off the side of the cliff.  There is a dreamy expression in his eyes and he sighs deeply as he flops backwards.  ...He changes his mind half a second later and sits back up, leaning over to scream down into the town far below.]

I've got a girlfrieeeeeend!!!!

[Oh, yeah.  Felt good.]

Action: High School

[forgotten_titan]

[Friendly poke, BB.]

Hey there sleepy head.

[thebeastwithout]

[The cat suddenly seems to shrink as it is poked. After a few moments of (what Beast Boy thinks is) adorable blinking, it turns its monstrous eyes upwards.]

Meow.

Voice

[originalnumber]

[Possibly the right house, but not likely the one you wanted to talk to Beast Boy.]

...I believe it is 'I before E except after C', and 'A triangle's angles add together into the sum of 180 degrees', is it not?

[Pause.]

...What are video games?

[WHAT SORT OF LIFE DOES THIS NOT CHILD LIVE?

[thebeastwithout]

You did not just say that.

[likescats]

[Yeah, your history class. You might want to re-think that plan.

....why is everything so much colder and a skeleton looking down at you. Oh and voice in your head.

I DO NOT SEEM TO RECALL TEACHING A GREEN CAT.

[thebeastwithout]

[Brr freezing Beast Boy turns into a longer-haired cat and shivers a little bit. ...Then he falls sideways off the desk with a loud yowl.]

[sarcasmandbooks]

[ahhh, she was meditating near there...falls to the ground. Ow...getting up now.]

Could you be any louder?

[thebeastwithout]

[Beast Boy almost falls off himself.]

Oh! Uh. Hey Raven!

[awkward wow]

S-Sure thing! [deep inhalation]

Action - Make Out Point

[catslooklikeme]

[Nall enjoys just flying around to see what's up, and that shout? Is hard to ignore. He follows the voice up to the top of Makeout Point and greets Beast Boy with a smile.]

Howdy, Beast Boy!

[thebeastwithout]

[Aaaugh white flying cat rising outta nowhere Beast Boy flails a little.]

H-Hey, Nall!

[Clearly he just saw him sitting there no one heard anything.]

How's everything going?

voice: Have another YG-derp tossed at you!

[last_to_kneel]

Triangles have three angles that's why it's called a triangle. Ugh, anyway, that other stuff you said, no clue. Video games, man, you're in the wrong era for that, mate.

[thebeastwithout]

Huh, really? I thought they were called triangles 'cause you had to try really hard not to get sick of doing proofs of 'em.

[totally serious...]

And yeah, I kinda got that. I'm still waiting to regain mine, dude.

Makeout Point

[spinningorange]

(Oh hey, that scream sounds very familiar! Guess who's totally flying behind you right now.)

Hello, friend!

[thebeastwithout]

Aaaaaugh!

[Beast Boy jumps about a foot in the air and lands as a turtle inside his shell.]

Wha -- Where did you -- How -- Gahh!

highschool.

[crosseyed]

[[there's

a cat

sleeping on a desk oh gosh how adorable. she'll just rush on over there now yeah.]] Hello, little kitten! Why are you in the classroom...? [[a gentle pat on the head. no one ever told her that petting strange animals is probably a bad idea...]]

[thebeastwithout]

[It is the most adorable. Beast Boy stretches a little before looking up at Nia with gigantic eyes. He considers scaring her to death but decides maybe it is better to stick as a cat for a while.]

Meow.

Voice

[paradisemiko]

(Reimu has no idea what Beast Boy said, but since she doesn't know anything about history in the outside world, she'll say nothing about it. She does sympathize with the whole not liking school part, though!)

Then you'd probably fit right in back home in Gensokyo; everyone there essentially does whatever they want and you only really worried about school if you spent a lot of time with the Historian.

[thebeastwithout]

Gunsoako?

[pause]

Isn't that the place Marisa's from? Where you're all stuck inside some kinda barrier and you can't get out and there's no movies or games or vegetarian pizza?

[voice]

[wizardoftheweek]

... Neapolitan... As in Napoli. It's named after the former Italian kingdom, currently a city. You're an idiot.

[thebeastwithout]

No way, dude. Napoleon was French.

phone ♥

[priceofmagic]

But... but school is fun! Why would you not want to go to school?

[thebeastwithout]

.....Do drones usually respond to these kinda calls?

[voice]

[noluckduck]

Holy shit, dude.

[thebeastwithout]

I know! It's so pointless, right?

schooooool

[capsizes]

[She shares your sentiments re: school, Beastboy. It was fun at first, having to go - it's another normal, human experience she missed out on. And even her dim, faded memories of the early beginnings of her education don't quite match up with what Mayfield offers, so it was extra interesting.

But now she's just bored as all hell.

Bored enough to focus on the sleeping, inexplicably green cat curled up on the desk a few seats away form her own....and flick bits of folded-up paper at it.]

[thebeastwithout]

[The adorable kitty scrunches up into itself the first few times before it finally sticks its head out.

Hisssss.]
