Alright friendos! Cimon's got his birthday party on Saturday, but we need fun before that. So there's this thing going on at Elysium on Wednesday to celebrate spring. Bonfire, spa sampler stuff, food. Who's coming with? 'cause I'm def going. Bet.

Also, this is a reminder that Pantheon exists, and they're out there. Try to be smart and safe if you're off campus, kay? Like, this isn't "don't talk to strangers," but maybe mind your business and watch what you say a little. It's important to be a little cagey and evasive. You never know who you're talking to, and they could be a mutant supremacist or just a real fucking creep in general. Be clever, babes.

[Teachers/Staff/Ophanim]

Gonna need a few of you to join me for security detail in the woods on Saturday for Cimon's party. I volunteered to be a bouncer, but he wants me to smoke up with him if I can get my hands on the right stuff when I take a little trip to Santa Monica later this week. Forgive me, I just want to enjoy my last party out in the woods, I promise it's not like an actual setback on my journey to sainthood. Cross my heart. And if you see me getting messy you have my permission to grab me by the hair and drag me out.

Those who can turn an eye to students being students preferred. Any takers who can be cool and let the kids just live while keeping them safe?

	So you want to remind me of Roman? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. [...] We saw him the other night. Mentioned a Nora. Is that who I think it is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. He drove her back here. [...] ~~Did he menti~~ She's very memorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why are you choosing now to try and make me feel better when this time I know exactly what it is, Reed? You don't need to blow smoke up my ass. I know what I am. It's a skill and an asset at this point. There's no sense being precious about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~He said you wante~~ ~~I didn't want to be the arsehole who dispel~~ Aim higher, Graves. Much as you think that's all you're good for, you'll need to be more than that to save your people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~You point out higher and I would happily aim then crash and burn.~~

Six feet under, six foot coffin, and toppling Pantheon on the way down. We aim low in this house, Reed. As for my love life, well, it's nonexistent, so it's fucking easy to give that shit up along with everything else.

Only interest I have in Roman is for Remus. Don't get it twisted. He deserves his brother back. Just gonna be a bit more complicated since now we know they kill people who try to get out. It's why they need us more than ever.

Careful. You aim that low and you become reckless and risk toppling not just your enemies, but your teammates, too. Find the balance.

You act like feelings aren't complicated. So deny it all you want -- you won't know until you see him. Also, you're preaching to the choir, mate. You're not the only one with people to save. You run in a war for so long, you find people you hadn't seen in years on the other side. It's jarring as fuck.

	Reed? Sometimes people say things because they know the truth, they don't have anything else, and they're trying not to cry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry. Yeah, I'll tell you what I told Emily. Take my car. Go for a drive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just remember you don't know that much about me, but I know a lot about a lot of things. What, you're just handing it to me? Or are you taking me somewhere? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Torcher handlebar 2025-04-29 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	You're right. My fault, Commander. I would but I'm not looking to get my arse handed to me by Lavender or Emily. Can you drive stick? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Torcher osteophyte 2025-04-29 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Mm. So you're one of those dirty old men that Emily was talking about. I see, I see. Guess everyone put you off me. Unfortunate. You had so many points. Spinsterhood and sad poetry ahoy since I can't even have cats. I can't drive anything, but I guess I'ma figure it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I don't have job, I can't help anyone. I think we can agree that neither of us want that. ~~Besides you yell at me enough as it is, I doubt I had that many~~ [...] No one taught you how to drive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Torcher osteophyte 2025-04-29 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	No, my dude, I do not want to ruin your life if that's what you think I'm capable of. Sorry. [...] Bro, I lived in Vegas, NYC, and LA. Wtf would I need to learn to drive for? So I could go sit in traffic? Also, who, my dude? My dad worked until he gave me up, my fosters were fine but I was shitty, and the Graves family had people for that.

	Torcher handlebar 2025-04-29 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	I don't. I think you're capable and deserving of much more than dirty old men. Listen to Emily on that. [...] Do you want to learn? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Honestly, I'm getting real tired of people telling me what I don't need and nobody making suggestions. It's a fuckin' wasteland out here, dude. Also, it's rude of everybody to assume that I'm just some starry eyed waif who's just desperate and don't know what I like. Jesus. Opinions are like assholes, but apparently blind dates are like unicorns.

I mean I just said I'ma teach myself in your stick shift car my dude.

Okay, here's a suggestion. Stop pussyfooting and get back out in the world if you want a date that bad. And if you're that hesitant, I'll even be your back up, locked and loaded in the shadows if they happen to pull any Pantheon shit. That said, I 100% do not recommend blind dates. You don't want to risk being stuck for hours with someone you absolutely loathe, it's a fuckin nightmare.

And yeah, I'd prefer you didn't kill yourself in a supercar so either I show you first or I watch you crash into a building. Think I know which one I'm choosing.

I don't really want it that bad I guess, Archer. Not really feeling like going out. I'm gonna do this mission, then I'm gonna focus on trying to fly and the exam. I don't even have time to think about dating or whatever. Add it to the list of things that I'm genuinely willing to give up to become an agent and get stronger. Just need to be me for a while I guess. Should learn to watch movies alone and not hate it as much as I do.

This is not the time in our lives to make the joke I want to. It would be tasteless even though I thought it. I can accept lessons. I'll wear a snow suit or something and a bodycam to prove your innocence.

	Your life can still be rich even though you're an agent. You don't have to give up any of those things. ~~You don't have to become me~~ You don't have to be alone when you watch movies either, weirdo. Did you not notice I put a projector up in the training hall? [...] Lmfao jesus Graves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Torcher osteophyte 2025-04-29 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	I just don't see it happening for me, Reed, for a lot of reasons. And you're not qualified to learn them. You'd fight me if I said the sky was blue, I stg. [...] I'm SORRY! I'm dark sided, Reed! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
