[it's time to awkwardly chat]

What are you, um... Thinking of writing?

[verminous]

Not sure yet. Writing out your own skills is always hard, right? Like... you put it down, and then you wonder if that's one of your best skills, and what really counts anyway...

[expiries]

Well, uh - what do you like doing? Maybe that could count as a skill.

[riverbeans]

[anise, the class's second shortest high schooler, pipes in.] You could put swimming and say you're aiming for an athletic scholarship!

[verminous]

I'm putting it down either way, but-- hey, not a bad idea.

[hmmm. contemplating.]

You think talking to people counts as a skill, or would they say it's more like bothering 'em.

[expiries]

Uh - I think you could totally put down something like socializing, right? That's a good skill.

[verminous]

Right, right... I could probably make it sound better, though. What, ah, what's a good word for that?

[expiries]

A better word for socializing?

[...]

Networking?

[verminous]

Networking, right-!

[snapping his fingers, with a nod.]

You're a lifesaver.

[expiries]

Ha, thanks. I try.

[verminous]

So what're you putting down, eh?

[doing that obnoxious dude thing of leaning over to try to read off his sheet and see if he's got anything]

[expiries]

I don't know, I mean - there's a lot of stuff I like to do, but I don't know how much of it would count.

[nothing yet besides his name]

[verminous]

C'mon, like what? Tell me what you're thinking.

[expiries]

Well, I mean, I... You know I like to swim, but - there's other stuff. I don't know. Art, flowers...?

[verminous]

Don't see why you couldn't put those down. Plenty of people get degrees in plants, 'ne?

[expiries]

I don't know if I'm that good with them. But - maybe.

[verminous]

Isn't that the point of learning? C'mon, if you're interested, do it.
