your shoujo is beginning!

[Ah, high school.

A truly wonderful and inspiring time for all. With the school year starting, faceless students mingling about and chatting -- catching up over their summer, or grabbing their friends to congratulate them on getting into the world's top Pokémon Trainer's School -- with the cherry blossoms spinning in the wind from the rows of them lining the school's beautiful golden gates...

Yes, there's truly nothing better!

Except for perhaps the middle school just beside this beautiful campus; there's a small lake between them where the grades intermingle, and the excitement of the day - and maybe even the bell ringing to signify classes, lunch, or break! - is vibrantly in the air!

Just be careful that the principal doesn't see you with your Pokémon out! That would distract the other students, after all...]

[ooc: welcome to the high school au room! also middle school, if your character's not quite aged enough. with uniforms, cheery blossoms, and the exciting promise of an excellent spring for all classes and grades, it's sure to be a blast!

please mingle and thread amongst yourselves, and have a great time! if it's school au, it's free to go!]

Cool! So how many other members are there? I'm looking forward to learning with all of them!

[ he didn't want to have to answer this question... ]

Well... now, there's two!

[powerfulwarrior]

Then let's do our best to add more. I mean, there's gotta be a tons of people who want to understand math like me!

[get it n

because it's math and adding and




yeah okay]

[extricated]

[ the pun





his head ]

Yes, I think so too! Ah... really, I'm glad to hear you feel the same way.

[powerfulwarrior]

[LIKE MY JOKES, SENPAI.....]

I think the lines in math are as beautiful and confusing as yours, N.

[extricated]

[ normal people would probably notice the backhanded compliment there, but this guy... ]

Is that so? I'm quite flattered you think so... but I, also, still have much to learn.

[powerfulwarrior]

[SENPAAAAI]

What's the hardest one you know?

[extricated]

The hardest one I know of? Or the hardest one I can solve?

[ no matter which one, this is about to go on the fast track to tl;dr central. ]

[powerfulwarrior]

Both, if you'd like.

[It's okay, he doesn't mind listening.

Even if this means he's not going to have any break time left.]

Well, one of the most famous proofs right now would be Fermat's Last Theorem... it took 358 for somebody to finally prove it! Of course, the exact details are above my current abilities, but the basic idea of it is that...

[ aaand about ten minutes later... ]

... although the theorem itself is useless for practical application. But it certainly is an interesting problem.

[powerfulwarrior]

[... He tried to follow along, he really did. But at some point his eyes glazed over. He liked at least listening to N go on so enthusiastically about it though! Passion's a strong point in his book.]

Oh, um, that's too bad. That it's useless I mean. I guess you could just consider it a brain teaser?

[extricated]

It's one of the pinnacles of modern mathematics... the kind of great discovery that only happens once in a lifetime. Ah, although there is still a lot of brilliant discoveries that are happening nowadays too!

[powerfulwarrior]

Are you planning on discovering something yourself, N?

[extricated]

I'd like to, if I can. But it's not exactly something you can do just because you want to...

[powerfulwarrior]

If anyone can do it, I think you can. You're very passionate about math and I think that's what's important. You even have a club for it! I mean, I don't think I know anyone who has more enthusiasm than that.

[extricated]

[ oh my, he's going to get a case of the dokis ]

You're too kind... I'm just another person who has a dream.

[powerfulwarrior]

Well, my dream's to go into space and I'm not that good at math... I think that yours has a greater chance of coming true.
