Am I the only one who thinks there is something seriously wrong here? I mean look around. This school is practically a movie set - big stately manor on beautiful grounds with all the facilities a school full of teenagers could want. And of course everyone's so nice and friendly and they just want to help us mutants learn to use and control our powers...

I mean do you all watch movies? It's like the perfect setup for a horror flick. One of those where they discover that the seemingly perfect location is just cover for some sort of mad scientist's twisted experiments. With us as the victims, not the heroes.

I'm sure some of you are going to think I'm overreacting. But I've got one question. This is supposedly a super-swank, upscale private school. Even without the whole mutant thing, it should be costing thousands of dollars to go here. So how come this little chica from the inner city of San Fran's here? 'Cause my folks sure as shit can't pay.

And don't say it's out of the goodness of their hearts. Ain't nobody actually works like that.

I was a little spooked at first.

[As in he nearly peed himself when he realized The Big Bad Wolf was teaching here.]

But you know what? I am all about this. I'm gonna get to show off my solo hero chops for all you guys. When it all goes down, just stand back and take notes! I'm taking this whole school to school!

[There's a loooooong pause]

What's you're name?

[voice]

[tofudog]

The name's Beast Boy. Who're you?

[voice]

[toycommander]

Velma Martinez.

At least now I know who to avoid.

[voice]

[tofudog]

Because the handsome young hero is always surrounded by danger?

[voice]

[toycommander]

Because you're insane.

[voice]

[tofudog]

Harsh!

[He doesn't sound too bothered. He set himself up for it, after all. Beast Boy's voice becomes a little less cavalier as he goes on.]

Seriously, though. Even if something does happen? There are a lot of mutants here who probably aren't in on it. There's gotta be at least one kid here who can deal with anything that gets thrown at us.

Assuming they're not the one starting it.

[voice]

[tofudog]

Do you just assume everyone's a bad guy?

[voice]

[toycommander]

No, but I assume everyone could be. Until proven differently.

[voice]

[tofudog]

How does someone prove they couldn't be a bad guy? If you think about it, most people have something they'd do bad stuff for, right?

[voice]

[toycommander]

My point exactly. Anyone's capable of being an asshole and screwing you over.

[voice]

[tofudog]

So, what? You're gonna never trust anyone ever? That sucks!

[voice]

[toycommander]

It's a hell of a lot more complicated than that. You just gotta be very, very careful who you trust.
