A Decision [Video]

[now_i_know]

[The video feed opens to a girl with shimmering silver-blue hair and deep red eyes. Her fingers come together as she looks nervously into the camera for a second.]

U-Um... hello! I'm Catherine Fujishima a-and... well, you guys might have seen me over the past week? If... if you didn't that's okay. I was just a guest here and I know you guys were busy.

[As she gets going her pacing becomes a bit livelier as she gains more confidence.]

So, anyways, yeah! I just wanted everybody to know that I've made a decision: I'm gonna join this school! It... it seems like it'd be a lot of fun learning and stuff. I've been told I'm gonna be joining the 10th grade, though I probably gots a lot of work to catch up on.

I hope that we can all get along!

[She bows politely, her ponytail following her lowering head.]

Oh, yeah! And if anybody doesn't mind helping me catch up, I'd really appreciate it! I'm could use a tutor for math, an' science, an' English, an' composition, an' history. But mostly the first three.

[Well... she reaches for a side pocket and pulls out a small bag. Out comes a few coins and she starts counting...]

'bout $2.75 serious.

[the_prodigal_son]

I can pay for it if money's a problem.

I think I can spare fifty or so...

[now_i_know]

Now dat doesn't seem right. Because of something I did, you'd have to pony up the dough?

No way, that's not fair.

[And she didn't want to be a burden on anybody.]

Mmm...

...hey, I got an idea.

Wanna share some chocolate and a soda outta the vendin' machine? My treat!

[Totally serious.]

[Jack is going to object, but... he actually sees no problem with that.]

That sounds good. Or- you could bring them to my room and I've got some potato chips or something in here... somewhere... but also I have some movies that Beast Boy left here, we can watch one.

[Ignoring the fact that anything left for more than a day in his room is slowly consumed by the pile of trash under his bed.]

[now_i_know]

Heeey... weren't you 50's folks all about public decency and such? What would it look to be invitin' a girl to your room on the first date.

Just what sort of girl do you take me for??

[the_prodigal_son]

Shit- I didn't think of that.

[Language, Jack. You really are becoming a modern man.]

I didn't mean it like that, I- Um... ah...

[...Well.. He's just stuttering now.]

[now_i_know]

[giggle]

Bring the chips. We can chow down on them in the commons.

Sound good to you?
