Muse's thoughts on possibly going to smashacademy

[strawberryredgrave]

Dude...no. Two out of two, those games you put me in robbed me shitless. Don't get me wrong; a challenge once in a while makes life interesting, but I get enough of being short-handed by Lady. I don't need yo-

...

...so I get to keep my powers and stuff for once? And I can go home if I want to? You should've said that sooner; would've made shit real easy. Do me a favor and try to make me a teacher, okay? I might not be a good one, but I'm a worse fucking student and let's face it, I'm a little too old to be one.

So who's this "Django" kid you're thinking of sending me with? "Boktai?" The fuck is that?

If I remember correctly, Boktai had to deal with using the power of the sun to kill vampires with a gun. Least that's what I remember.

[strawberryredgrave]

Yeah? Sounds kinda cool. So if worst comes to worst, he'll be able to handle himself in a fight, right?

[childofthenocturne]

If he's in the sunlight, I think he's good.

[strawberryredgrave]

Good. That means I probably won't have to jump in and save him. Gotta avoid that playercest shit I've heard about.

[childofthenocturne]

Shouldn't be too hard. It's a weakness my mun has recovered from. Unfortunately, that just entered a new realm of horror, though mostly for me.

[strawberryredgrave]

Yeah? How much worse does it get than that?

[gricklegrass]

I bet there have been students older than you!!

[strawberryredgrave]

Well maybe, but I'm not the kind of guy who can be a student, you know? Too much style and experience to be confined to a desk, staring at a chalkboard.

[gricklegrass]

HMMM...

Are you impressionist???

[Celebi, no. Wrong style.]

[strawberryredgrave]

(Oh, Celebi...)

Wha? No. I'm a demon hunter. You know, the ones who go out and kill demons before they kill people? I just happen to be completely badass when I do it.

[worldrestored]

[Oh. Oh it's you seldomly used party member guy that kept attacking him. Naoki stays silent as he watched you ramble on about some school place. It makes him all the more eager to finish his quest and restore the world.

...seeing any school would be nice.]

[strawberryredgrave]

(O hai, protagonist boy! Temporary recurring boss Dante gives you a greeting nod.)

Hey there, kid. How're you holding up? Still kicking some ass?

[worldrestored]

[Yes okay, you get a grin out of him for that.

He nods, before pointing to Dante. What have you been doing after beating up a giant Disco Ball and a Floating Head?]

[strawberryredgrave]

(Works every time~)

What, me? Ah, you know how it is: go to new places, drink some new drinks, kick some new asses...same old shit, different toilet. I did meet this new kid, though; kinda looks like me, but no one knows why.

(And since DMC 2 NEVER EVER HAPPENED IN EVER, that was the last thing that happened...yes.)

[worldrestored]

[Different toilet what. Dante. Dante what was even that Naoki just started at you for a second.]

That's odd.

[Hey look! Sometimes he speaks! Just not often because he has to keep that silent protag thing running also all his team speaks a lot so why bother.

..Yes good they can agree on something. That you never existed.]

What was he like?

[Did he talk about TOILETS TOO?]

[burn_the_fools]

Your age is hardly important for whether or not you are student or professor. Professors simply have to do more things.

Tedious things.

[strawberryredgrave]

Things like grading papers, giving out homework and making sure they pay attention in class, right? It sucks, but it's their way of life, apparently; screw with people by giving them assignments on the weekend of the big game.

[burn_the_fools]

And that does not sound tedious to you?

[strawberryredgrave]

Of course it does. It's fucking boring; I'd rather just go out there and kick someone's ass, but at least it's the better side of the teacher's desk.

[burn_the_fools]

[A pause, then the dragon huffs a laugh.]

I suppose so, yes. The opposite side of such desks brings no great rewards.

[blue_eyed_devil]

Teaching? You?

[strawberryredgrave]

The alternative is learning. Which is more appropriate for me? And you have to pick one because I have to pick one if I go.

[blue_eyed_devil]

You can do neither, so I don't see the point in choosing.

But you do enjoy interfering with others' lives.

[strawberryredgrave]

Of course I can't do either of them right, but that's why you have to pick which one I'll suck at less.

Hey, it's not interfering if they walk in on me, okay? Trouble just has a habit of finding me, that's all.

[blue_eyed_devil]

Fine. Teach them how to avoid work like you.

[See how much he loves you?]

I'm sure. And you do nothing at all to invite it.
