In the days of yore

Kingston, I'll try to remember your face if I see you around. Especially one as pretty as yours.

I'm gonna have fun in this shithole

I’m gonna have fun in this shithole… yeah… Maybe if I keep telling myself that, I’ll eventually believe it.

That's the trick. The fact that you're even willing puts you ahead of many of your peers.

I don’t bitch. I state the truth.

Regardless, it's very off-putting. I'm sure you're used to a place where people would let you talk back to them but it's not to be tolerated here. Even if you mean "no offense" which really is just a cop out in the first place.

Not to be disrespectful, but I do think it’s the staff’s decision whether or not to make this a peaceful evening. After all, they’re the ones with the threats and the punishment.

All you do is bitch, it's getting old quite fast.

Yessir.

I like your spirit. What's your name?

#s: Kingson Muarry

Move-in day has concluded, and it's time to begin settling in to a normal routine. Let this be a more peaceful welcome to LAB than the madness of yesterday.

Where I’m from, my pride is all I got. I rely on it. Oh I can pretend to show respect, but what good would that do? Then I wouldn’t be me. I rather face the consequences head on and keep my pride, then to turn into some asskisser. In my shoes? You really got the pretend thing down, huh?

Trust me when I tell you that it works out a lot better for you in the end. You earn respect by following the rules and not acting like a gigantic ass, and if you want to be respected then you have to earn it. That's simply the way things to here. You pretend until you feel the respect yourself, and by that time it's likely to be mutual.

I don’t know. I doubt I ever will grow acquainted to it. Respect has to be earned, simple as that. But here it’s demanded, it seems. I’m not dumb, I just have a problem with authority, which is why I never got along with teachers nor cops. My folks got given the choice to either have me put in jail or send me here. Unfortunately for me they decided this would be the best place for me.

Seems you're stuck in the usual new student's dilemma. Your pride is too big to get in the way of even pretending to show the faculty some respect, even when it's in the interest of self-preservation. Take my advice and get over it. This is coming from both a member of said faculty and someone who was in your shoes a while back.

...

Even drunk I exude intelligence then, huh? I like you. And your noodle hair.

...yes, sure, let's leave it at that. Well that;'s good, it would be a very awkward year if we had to muster up fake cheery greetings and small talk all year. You're such a strange drunk, we must drink together sometime soon.

So I’ve noticed. So far I only met one person who’s fine with me not calling him Sir. You’re guessing right. But it’s alright, so far I’ve been kicked out of every school I’ve attended so I’m sure I won’t last long here either. People tend to get tired of dealing with me so it’s only a matter of time.

#s: Joshua Grant #[attractive person + attractive person = banging #it's math i'm a math major it's a real thing #we're obligated to have it happen]

It's part of the whole respect thing, you'll soon grow acquainted to it. The faculty here is of a different breed, and we rarely give up on a student. Unless they're dumb, in which case I can't muster up the patience to deal with them rowdiness is no problem for us though.

...

I’m still perfectly capable of kicking your skinny ass to the next state, punk. So watch yourself.

#f: David Mathis #[i get the impression david doesn't know nathan isn't a student #either that or it's because he's drunk]

"Punk"? At best that's comical, at worst that's just dumb. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the former.

Of all places...

Great, another one of those. Okay, Sir. I’m brand new, just got sent here by my folks. They thought this would do me good or something like that.

#s: Joshua Grant #[s'not my fault colton is so pretty]

You won't find many faculty that are fine with casual titles, I'm afraid. Comes with the position, naturally. But don't let that detract from your opinions on them, several of them are very interesting and appealing people. Your parents were right, the school is quite good at what it does; though I'm guessing at the moment you're less inclined to agree with that.

...

Mmm, no. Not even your face can compare to mine. But I’m humble, so I don’t flaunt that around. I’ve drunk enough tonight, and do I look anywhere ready to pass out to you?

Now now, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. You really don't want me to answer that question.

#f: David Mathis

Of all places...

That’s cool. I like the top bunk better anyway. Better view. I’m Josh, who might you be?

#s: Joshua Grant #[hashtag pun]

It would suit you well to get used to tops around here. You may call me Mr. Morse, or Sir, whichever you prefer as I'm fine with either. Are you new or just new to me?

Of all places...

This is where my folks sent me? Guess it’ll have to do. First a smoke, been a long ride and then I’ll figure out where to go and all that.
