"I'm taking one on traveling the galaxy," Teddy replied, trying to remember any others that looked interesting.

"There's one on fashion, you'll probably want to avoid. The teacher is, well... insane."

"Aren't most teachers?"

Warren's experience with the faculty at his last school had given him some pretty solid notions that adults in general were... kind of nuts.

Really, he wasn't far from the truth.

"Insane in the tried to attack me and my friends back home kind of way," Teddy replied, making a face. "And calling me nubile on the radio."

Gross. Just so many levels of gross.

Oh.

"The best I have is the gym teacher who drops cars on students to see if they've got super strength," Warren mused.

"That sounds... dangerous." And psychotic.

"It's effective," Warren pointed out. "And stupid. And... pretty much the status quo for my last school."

"I don't think you have to worry about that here," Teddy replied slowly. "They're pretty laid back about that part of stuff."

"Keep talking about this place like that, and it's going to start to seem normal," Warren mused. "I'm going to have to see this for myself."

Maybe he'd take that fashion course anyhow. Just to see what this kid's notion of insane was really like.

Besides, superhero fashion was a mandatory course he was going to have to take before graduating Sky High as a hero. Maybe he could convince the teachers there that this was an equivalent.

"And then the furniture comes to life or something and you remember how weird it is," Teddy replied with a grin. "But it's fun to fit in a little. I don't know about where you're from, but having powers isn't the best thing back home for me."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

"The furniture is alive?"

That was a new one.

"Where I'm from, it depends... what side you're on, I guess. Good guys. Bad guys. It's all in how you wear the tights."

"Sometimes." Because the furniture part was important. And distracting. "People with weird powers scares people. Most don't want to be heroes or villains or whatever. Just wanna, you know... live normal lives."

"I don't think different people often get the privilege." But it would be nice, wouldn't it? "I had a normal job, back home. Might look for one here, too. To keep busy with. Having a place where everyone is different helps. With the feeling normal."

Sometimes. Unless they figured you were weird anyhow.

Warren had his doubts that too many people were going to have that issue with him. Damn them all.

"There are probably lots of places hiring here with people leaving over the summer," Teddy replied. "I work at the art gallery. You should stop by and talk to Miss York. She's really nice about the whole... weird stuff. Didn't get mad when I asked for time off to visit my sister last term."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

"At the art gallery? I might have to look into that. I've been waiting tables for a while. A change of pace might be... good."

Plus, 'Miss York' didn't sound like the sort of person who would yell at him angrily in Chinese for actually being social with the customers.

Not that he was ever prone to fits of being social, dammit anyhow.
