"Hey, Ian? My mom says I need to find 'extra curricular activities' and I don't want to. What d'you think I should do?" -from teen!Harv @thiriumboy~

“You’re asking me?” The android whips around quickly from his temporary hibernation, LED flashing a vivd yellow, clearly processing Harvie’s request. And in one hot nanosecond, Ian’s got it. A list of ‘extra curricular activities’ flood his digital consciousness, from the likes of boring badminton to the fantastic farming club. Ian briefly wonders if Harvie can ever play a competitive sport without it culminating in a fight, or entertain the thought of digging around some dirt and soil.
No, what Harvie needs is a touch of adventure, something to bring him out of his own shell when he’s ready for it. Something a little more... ‘out there’; to warm those ruddy cheeks and pump a bit more woodland spirit into him. Whatever that is. Ian steps forward confidently, armed with his extensive knowledge of how a surly teenager might chose to spend their last vestiges of childhood.
“What do you think of Geocaching? It’s like playing hide and seek, but with hidden treasures other humans leave around the world.” And by treasures, he means junk. It’s an activity that promises adventure with the incentive of a reward— but if Harvie doesn’t like it, he’ll just come up with something else. He’ll leave it to the boy to decide.
