Sooooo... I thought schools were supposed to be boring? But doesn't really look like it happens here.

[Is she even allowed to say that? Well it's too late now! Might as well go with it.]

Whats the chance I would get in trouble if I tried painting the trees? I'm not saying I did it! This is just a hypo... Hypothetical!

[Ahhh. Mary hopes that's the right word or she's going to feel stupid in a second.]

Red would be nice right?

[Mary shouldn't have tried to figure out the maze by herself. It's a maze! She can't even do them on paper most days, but no. It seemed like it would be fun. That was 30 minutes ago and if this bush doesn't show her the exit now she will cut it down! Anyone nearby can probably hear Mary's frustrated groaning and not so creative insults and threats she's yelling at the carved bush.]

UGH! I will uproot you!

Yeah, no, quiet school life isn't a thing here. We're lucky if we go one month without something happening. [Mostly because that "something" is usually bad.] It's nothing if not interesting.

Can't really give you an answer on the tree thing, though.

Something? What kind of something? I'm guessing not canned food drives or anything.

[Making a bit of a face. Maybe it's still a go then?]

We went a month without an attack once. On the more normal side, we do have dances and stuff happening every now and then. There's one coming up in a couple days, actually.

This place gets attacked that much? Really? I mean...! Everyone has powers right? Couldn't the staff and maybe the students have scared off any people like that for good by now?

... Well, we don't get an attack every month, but it feels like it sometimes. November and December had the Brotherhood come knocking and just now, we're recovering from some of the kids getting abducted by a bunch of other people...

Besides, it's not like everyone has powers useable for combat...

I know that not everything is combat! But... It just doesn't sound that safe. Not that I care really but it wouldn't be good if someone important got hurt.

Well, hopefully they'll be stepping up security. And putting more time into training those teams... Though, I guess it being peaceful all the time would just be boring.

After all, we did kick the Brotherhood's butts. [Or at least the people who went to fight did. Kirino was not one of them c:]

Boring isn't fun at all. Good point! Some schools have bullies and low test scores so I guess this place just gets to be attacked.
