Kraken Campfire, Later Tuesday Night

[the_merriest]

Rikku hoped it wasn't too dark that people wouldn't be able to see that she now had purple hair.

Aly was on her short list of Favorite Teachers Ever.

She hoped the Kraken bathroom had recovered from any possible dye-related mishaps.

Rikku sat in front of the campfire, bouncing to herself. Ready to chat the ear off anybody and everybody who dropped by.

Wow, she really did talk faster than Mikey after he'd downed a packet of pixy stix. He didn't even know where to start. "Yeah." So articulate. "This school ain't what I expected. I figured algebra and Deportation," he meant Deportment, "And How to Be Martha Stewart and understand Shakespeare."

"Okay. And you're disappointed?" Rikku raised an eyebrow curiously. "Last session I had a class about computer science, and one on Engineering for giant airships and stuff like that, and now I'm learning how to make better explosives. It's practical, and it's stuff I need. Okay, annoying teachers is just for the fun of it, but ..." She shrugged. "You can learn algebra from a book."

"The classes aren't the problem. Well, they're classes, so they're a problem, but it could be a whole lot worse. That's not why I don't wanna be here. I don't wanna be here because it's here. We got sent away for no good reason when there's stuff to do back home that needs to be done. No one should be forced to turn their back on doing the right thing."

"Oh. Yeah, you're right about that." Rikku considered that. "Did the person who sent you here have a reason for it? I mean, maybe someone else is doing that, and you're here to learn stuff to do another part of it. Which sucks, but ... a reason you don't like isn't the same as no reason."

"Splinter always has a reason." Raph may have sounded bitter, possibly because he was.

Rikku nodded with a wry smile. "Yeah. That's kinda tough, then. You gotta hope you're doing the right thing and cool your heels and ... me, I'm not good with that. I'd rather be out taking on fiends. You know?"
