Jeez. That sounds like a terrible education system if I'm being honest. None of that's like useful.
I guess winemaking is kind of cool? But who teaches that instead of science?

[64th]

They don't want us to know science. They want us to have specific skills for whatever the district produces.

I heard some of the people in the outer districts can't even read. [ she doesn't know if it's true BUT THAT'S WHAT SHE HEARD. ]

[completelycrazy]

Uh yikes. That's really messed up. I'm sorry your gov't screwed you over like that.
Are you interested in science though? Is that why you're texting me?

[64th]

[ wow ok apparently being good at science also means you can figure out why someone is texting you weird questions out of nowhere. ]

It's an area I don't know much about, and I think I could be more useful here If i did know things.

[He is sometimes good at social interactions! Look at him go!]

Fair enough. What brand of useful are you interested in pursuing?

[64th]

I want to be able to help if something breaks. Or at least understand what people talk about when they talk about technical things.

[completelycrazy]

So basic mechanics. That's not too hard to learn. You don't even need a formal education honestly? It's easy enough to pick up on the fly if you're getting your hands dirty regularly.
Are you asking me to teach you?

[64th]

I wouldn't say no if you offered to teach me.

[completelycrazy]

Hmmm I mean I could always use more help around the lab.
Mostly with the monsters but I've been trying to rig up new enclosures for my collection and that's basic enough to start with.
Could show you the inner workings of the super computer too but lol that's a bit more advanced.
Alternatively you can bring stuff by and we're take it apart together. That's the best way to learn tbh? Taking stuff apart and putting it back together.

[64th]

Okay! Yeah. I'd like that. I learn really fast.I'll help with whatever you need help with.

Thanks.

[completelycrazy]

Nice! Yeah just come by the lab whenever. I'm there most days or if I'm not then Im at home doing stuff with my monsters. 1301 in the houses near the lab.

[64th]

Are you okay if I ask a lot of questions?

[completelycrazy]

Actually thats a requirement of the course. You'd better be asking questions dude.

[64th]

Good. Just remember you've said this when it starts to get annoying.

[completelycrazy]

Oh please. Like I don't already have a monopoly on annoying.
If you manage to irritate me solely through a quest for knowledge I'll buy you a drink sometime.

[In this town where everything is free? Whatever, take the bet.]
