Who: Open to all students
Where: School!
Summary: Mandatory education means school time shenanigans.
Warnings: Teenagers being teenagers?

Ever since the Compulsory Visitor Education Act was passed, the Visitors of Hinoto-Ri have had to attend classes at a variety of schools according to their age and inclinations. There's always something happening in the schools, especially since even demon children are students there!

1. Homeroom! The teacher hasn't arrived yet, so the students are free to chat among themselves, review their schedules, or browse the Network.

2. Lunchtime! It's the perfect time to kick back, relax, and chat with your friends and classmates. There might even be a classical love-love confession on the school rooftop!

3. Physical Education! Get those bodies moving! What better opportunity to show off your athletic prowess exists?

4. School's out! Do you have a club to attend? Do you need to pack up quickly to make it to your part-time job? Do you just want to leave?

I guess. Isn't getting rid of the monsters more important than school?

[...]

I eat at home.

Since schooling is mandatory, it would be good if you studied at least a little.

...As long as you make sure to take care of yourself. [Though she still sounds worried...]

[Nnngh.]

This isn't even really me. Who knows if it's going to stick with me when I wake up? If I wake up.

But it's your body right now, isn't it? That doesn't mean you should just neglect it. You won't be able to do very much if you don't take care of yourself.

I guess.

[He doesn't sound very happy about it.]

Things were just simpler in The World...

It just takes some time to adjust, that's all.

[But she'll smile encouragingly nonetheless.]

What types of food do you usually have?

... Rice, and eggs, and things like that...

[Not a lot, really.]

...What about vegetables?

Some vegetables, yeah...

[Not too much, but some.]

I can cook, but I don't remember how.

Maybe you could try checking out books from the library?

I didn't know very many recipes when I first came here. It was just whatever they taught in home ec... It took me a little while, but I was able to find some good, simple ones.

I... I guess. I just miss when I didn't have to eat and sleeping just meant that I blacked out for a while.

You... You blacked out?

Well... video game characters don't exactly sleep.

They don't?

[This is news to her. Ah, but wait--]

That aside... Even if this is your body now, this isn't just a game. You have to treat it well, too.

[He just raises an eyebrow.]

... I've been here a long while.

[He knows, okay?]

Though I wonder why... I'm like this here. With the people brought here... how did just... data get brought here? This isn't really me.

...Who knows. I've still wondered how we could all be brought here so effortlessly, even though we're from such different worlds. There have even been alternates, I hear.

[The thought is still a strange one, to her.]

There's still so much we don't know.

I wish there was an easy way to get in touch with that Philemon guy.

You aren't the only one. The last time I heard from him was when people were abruptly taken to that other world...

I wonder if it's even possible for us to contact him?

Maybe. I think the people in the Velvet Room would be the best ones to ask.

That's an idea... It's been a while since I went there, too.

Do you think you'll try it? Asking them, I mean.

... I don't know. I'm not that good at finding things out.

[She tilts her head slightly, questioning.]

Is it because you don't want to ask, or because you don't know what to say?

[Dammit.]

... Maybe kind of both.

[Hmmm...]

If that's the case... Would you like someone to come with you?

I -

['I don't need anyone's help!' But that's not quite true.]

... I think I'll be okay.
