🎈GET YOUR ASSES TO OLIVE GARDEN🎈

Sometime in the morning on Sunday, there are little notes that have been slipped under everyone's doors. Written in markers reads the following:

Let's celebrate getting Knuckles back at Olive Garden tonight at 6pm!!!!
Also I'm bored
-Percy

…Yeah………but hey, at least these notes will be customized! Each note has two characters, but, uh, these might not be accurate to who's actually in the room. He doesn't know who everyone's roommates are, so he's just hoping for the best I guess. (Someone's note includes the new guy, More. Shizuka is also on one of these as a pink dolphin with glasses.)

Anyway, the Olive Garden seems to have some balloons floating around. With the current state of the residents, nobody seems to care! There are also chefs in the kitchen who will make whatever you ask, but pushing them around enough will get them to leave the kitchen to anyone who wants to make something. (Thank you Redd.) Drinks are available for everyone, alcohol and regular soft drinks alike, and really? The world is your oyster. … Olive? You get the drill.

...yes? In my own experience, at least.

[saltofthesea]

...Huh. Must be nice.

[hexalding]

...I did not necessarily say it was easy, to be clear.

[saltofthesea]

Oh, I figured. It's just...I don't think most people get to go to something like an academy even if they work hard, where I'm from.

[hexalding]

Yes, well neither would I. Those of the Undercity do not exactly have the kinds of things topsiders often take for granted.

[...]

I have never actually told anyone this, but...eh, not much to lose anymore. I was never actually enrolled at all. I got a uniform and snuck in like I belonged there.

[saltofthesea]

[ ...This is the last thing he expected to have deja vu over because he sure wasn't expecting to hear anyone say words like "undercity" and "topsiders" here. ]

And no one noticed?

[hexalding]

Oh, eventually the dean of the academy caught on. But my grades were flawless, so he made me his assistant rather than start a whole incident of it.

[saltofthesea]

...That's kinda cool, not gonna lie.

[hexalding]

[That actually got him to smile, though it looked a hell of a lot more like a smirk. Mad scientists, you know.]

I certainly thought so.

[saltofthesea]

[ Huh. He has to wonder it's a good thing, since he hasn't seen Viktor smile much here. ]

Do you still think that now?

[hexalding]

...Eh, it was a bit reckless. But it was the only way I would have ever gotten into the Academy, given where I was from. [For a second, that almost-smile turned a little wistful.]

If you're going to change the world, don't ask for permission.

[saltofthesea]

...I'll keep that in mind.
