Voice testing; heading to Destiny Strings

[capitalaasshole]

"Only surplus makes us happy, but not necessary things."

Plutarch said that. You know what it means?

It means you're happy because you're piddling your life away doing meaningless crap like playing on your computer with your fancy games and "friends" from god knows where instead of focusing on anything you need in life like a lazy ass! Here you are, content to fritter your life away writing shit no one is going to care about when you could be doing something worthwhile. Playing pretend on the internet doesn't get you a job.

And I don't want to go to this city dammit! I don't care if it's some shithole on the edge of forever or if it was some fancy new futuristic metropolis! The only thing the city breeds aside from indecency and moral decay is disease and greed anyway. I don't care if those dumbasses in my class are there; I did my part so if they're screwed there's no reason to screw me more than I already am!

Why don't you try to do something worthwhile with your time instead of tapping up your stupid voice test like a chump?!

[risingshepard]

You'll make plenty of friends with an attitude like that.

[As dry as ever. By the way, King Moron? She's a soldier. Don't do anything stupid.]

[capitalaasshole]

Hell if I care if I make friends or not I don't even want to go to the damn place!

From what I'm hearing the place is what people deserve by this point, the way they act like they own the planet and decide to hardly give a damn about society or other people.

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

[...Oh god no.]

Still as pleasant a personality as ever.

[capitalaasshole]

[And still on his shit list as much as ever, Yu.]

What was that? What'd you just say to me you no good little hooligan?

[headslapping]

Well, you can find it in the countryside, too.

[Says the one who was born in a rustic rural town and ended up in the military. Don't even get him started on computers-- wait. :| ]

[capitalaasshole]

You can find it anywhere. I'm not blind. It's part of societies ills by this point.

But I'm saying it's even worse in the city because that's where even more people meet and congeal, just like any other garbage.

[handshakegreeting]

[...Oh, yes. This will most definitely be interesting.] Everyone needs a hobby to maintain their sanity, Morooka-san.

[Of course s/he thinks it's slightly overrated, but shh. Not everyone knows~]

[capitalaasshole]

If you're going to have a hobby you might as well make it productive. Learn an instrument, take art classes, hell take classes at a community college with your free time! Don't just sit around like a loser!

[lovesthetrashcan]

Oh, hell no.

[capitalaasshole]

Watch your damn mouth Hanamura! I'm not surprised in the least to see what a punk you still are!

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[oh crap.

Sneaking away now.]

[capitalaasshole]

Where do you think you're going, Amagi?

You think I can't see you?

[magiciansempress]

[Oh my god she can't ever escape you.

...

At least you aren't Adachi.]

[capitalaasshole]

[Oh what the hell.

Are you having fun awkwardly staring at him Miss Konishi? Cause he's sure having fun just staring at you. The fact of his own death is kind of a blur to him at the moment; truth be told, he's doing his damnedest to pay it pretty little mind. But he can't ignore this.

He said some pretty harsh things after you died. And to a point he sticks to them. He has no clue what the hell you were doing the night you died but if you were wandering around at night, or someplace you shouldn't be...well hell. Even the simplest stories told to children warn them about what happens if you do that. Don't go off the road at night. Get home as soon as you can. That's elementary.

But another part of him can't help but feel that you're a sign of the failure of society. Not because of how you are or behaved, but the fact that you were killed. What kind of sick asshole kills children, for God's sake?

And now he realizes he's getting to lost in thought so time to snap out of that crap.]

....Konishi! What is it? Do you have something to say or are you just going to keep looking on like a damn deer?

[pitythefool]

[If anything was to give Adachi some perspective, it'd be a lecture like this. Not because he's actually learned anything from it, mind. But because man, he really does not miss dealing with this bullshit in high school and cram school.]

Geez, don'tcha think you're being a little rough on him?

[capitalaasshole]

God no. If anything that's what kids these days are missing! Everyone everywhere is telling parents to coddle their children instead of raising them and then parents wonder why their little hellions are running off and getting in trouble.

[dux_atrum]

A pleasant and happy life does not come from external things, it draws on its own character to add pleasure and joy to the things that surround it.

That is also Plutarch.

[capitalaasshole]

Yes but here's the thing. I'm not disputing what makes someone I'm happy I'm saying happiness needs to take a backseat sometimes for what's necessary. This isn't a denouncement of happiness it's me saying that you have to accept happiness isn't always what you need, dammit!

[destinedwaters]

[...Oh. So this is why her headspace mates were internally screaming.]

Maybe you should consider watching what you say. Society was never perfect; we are flawed beings, after all. [Honestly...] The city may be on a dying world, but you must have a bleak outlook on life if you don't realize what the basics of this city run on. For one, the power of Persona comes from the heart, and that is strengthened through good relationships with others. Caring about others, not use and abuse.

[capitalaasshole]

Well more reason for me not to go then! I don't know what "Persona" run on or care! It could be the heart or it could be subconscious desire and archetypes like Jung thought! I don't give a damn!

[regretzio]

[strum]

♪ How Moorka was ever hired
Is a cause of some confusion
To keep him on must have required
A powerful teacher's union ♪

[capitalaasshole]

What the-

Dammit! Who the hell are you?

And for what it's worth the teacher's union and I came to an understanding along time ago. I don't like them and I don't give a damn if any of their membership likes me.

[shapeshifthunter]

Oooooh. You're going to be fun.

[For her to tease and annoy relentlessly. Enjoy your humanoid alien.]

[capitalaasshole]

Oh I'm just a barrel of laughs.

Do you have any intention of introducing yourself like the rest of these jokers or are you just going to be a pain in the ass?

[rotten_orange]

[What.

What.

You're supposed to be dead.]

What the hell are you doing here?

[capitalaasshole]

[Ooooh my God. You are the last person he wants to see right now.]

You!

You little bastard! What are you doing here?

[He's tone is even louder and angrier than usual. All the better to keep his fear hidden.]

klfngkwehgkhwvxz MOROOKA. Not in DS, but needed to observe that you are amazing <3

[inn_escapable]

Morooka-sensei.....!

[Gaping. So much gaping. She might have something to say about how awful you're being to your mun, normally, but holy shit a zombie is just slightly distracting. Aren't you supposed to be dead?

N-not that she wants you to be, of course! You were--are?--mean, but that doesn't mean you deserved to die. Nobody does, but what's even going on anymore? Where are you going? Why is any of this even happening?]

Are..... are you okay.....? Will you be safe, going to another city like this?

Aw thank you! I appreciate it!

[capitalaasshole]

[Another Yukiko Amagi? Alright, this is a bit disorienting at the moment, but he can get through this. He just finished getting murdered for god's sake so sure. Two of one of his students. Why not?

As for why it's happening, he wishes he had a clue.]

I've been to the big city, Miss Amagi. It isn't a worse shithole, just a bigger one.

[Is he okay? He doesn't even know how to respond to that. No. He isn't okay. At all. So he'll ignore it.]

/chinhaaaaands

[spaztastic]

[Shiki's not so sure if going back to school is a good idea now. Going to back away slowly--]

[capitalaasshole]

Hold it. Right there!

[Just pointing at you Shiki.]

Yeah, you! Where do you think you're going?

[alwaysataclimax]

...man, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed.

[capitalaasshole]

They did. Thank God I'm here to set them straight.

[chaos_that_crawls]

There really isn't much room for a positive outlook beyond all that negativity, is there? An educator must be firm, but I daresay you don't enjoy your own work.

[capitalaasshole]

[Dammit who are all these assholes just rushing in to blather at him?]

Of course I don't enjoy my work! I'm surrounded by this thick skulled, hormonal brats all damn day while I try to put some kind of knowledge into them!

What business is it of yours anyway?

[That isn't fully true. He does enjoy his work, even if he'd never let them know it. Because sometimes it is rewarding to see that those who do learn learn.

But he can't let them know that. It'd undermine his image too much. And it's not like there's much reason to get too carried away and think about how any of the kids in his class will accomplish something. Hell. Too many don't.]

[tved]

[ She lets out an irritated sigh, rubbing her temples. ]

I can already feel a headache coming on, just by listening to you talk.

[capitalaasshole]

[Oh for God's sake another Konishi? Well at least this one is being rude so he doesn't have to think too much about the implications of talking to a murdered girl.]

Watch your mouth Konishi! School may not be in session but you're still talking to a teacher!

Sooooooo late. >.>

[nature_of_shadow]

You realize, sir, that you would most likely have a greater effect on your students if you did not treat them as hostile from day one.
