You're wet, the shop AI informed Victor as he came in from the rain this morning. Paper towels are in the third cabinet to the left. Do not touch the electrical gear with wet hands. You could create a supercircuit and destroy several thousand dollars worth of equipment.

"I know that," Victor said in response, making a beeline for the towels.

Given you're apparently unable to use an umbrella, I wasn't sure.

Victor sighed and, once he was thoroughly dry, went back to work on his homebrew game console. Without electrocuting anything, thanks.

"Dude, no, I like you way better with your brain not-exploded," Victor said. "And from everything I've ever heard space can be sort of intense. Sorry for not finding you, I got distracted by my own stuff."

"Why didn't you go?" she wondered. "You're all sciencey and...I'd think space would kinda be your thing."

"It's like 50-50 whether people from space are going to be obnoxious about me being what I am," Victor complained. "I decided not to take the chance. Anyhow, I had homework."

Olive frowned sympathetically. "See, now I feel even better about not going," she decided, reaching over (just a little bit awkwardly -- she was getting better!) to affectionately play with his hair a little. "I didn't know you could get homework here. Seriously? Or for an online class?"

[ultron_junior]

"Online," Victor clarified. "I do my math stuff online because there's like nothing here. My classes this session are ... kind of a joke."

He angled his head under her hand, just because he could.

"Preaching to the choir," Olive said, maybe scritching a little. Boys liked that, sometimes, right? Girl nails were nice? Something? "I have drama with a Norse god and United Nations with a pink pony. Thank god for online AP courses or no college would ever even look at my transcript."

This boy liked it, yeah. Or at least, he wasn't pulling away. "I have gym, something about oppression, and something about life on the outskirts. The outskirts one isn't bad -- I like Professor Starsmore -- but it's really angsty. How's the pony class?"

"She calls us 'everypony.'" Olive felt that explained it well. "So, you know. It's like that. Your classes sound heavily geared toward the...depressing." Especially gym. Maybe that was just Olive.

[ultron_junior]

"They kind of wound up that way," Victor agreed. "Gym's fun 'cause it's like a video game but for real? But the other two ... I feel like I should be a lot more of a pessimist than I am, after them. Doubt you have that problem with 'everypony.'"
