Tumblr Academy reimagined

"Whenever you're ready."

"Alright. Are there specific rules in your world I need to know about?"

"Keep your bow and arrow not so open, unless you want to suffer merciless teasing. Don't talk back to anyone who seems my age and up. Don't talk about the gods or anything unless you want to get beat up by religous extremists that claim to be 'Christians.'"

"Why would there be teasing over my longbow?" I asked in shock. 
((They're in the PJO world. Wouldn't people be upset about a teenage guy dressed in strange clothing (wearing a freaking cloak for goodness sake), carrying multiple knives and a bow and arrow? These are things I'm trying to have him get answered, but he doesn't know about all that stuff so he can't just go out and say it))

((Cosplay is why he would just suffer teasing. People would think he's just cosplaying Ranger's Apprentice.

"It is a long story, and I know, it's messed up!"

((Smart. Except for the fact that it's not a super well known series. It barely even has a fandom. It's literally the smallest fandom I've heard of. Even the Night at the Museum fandom has hijacked a post. The RA fandom never has.))

I blinked. My bow could be deadly. I couldn't see why that would be something people would laugh at.

((Neither has the Ninjago fand-oh, wait. Never mind, I hijacked a post once. Sorry. Then, maybe people will think it's LotR or the Hobbit.))

"Listen, people don't just carry around bows and arrows anymore. They think they're just for fantasy things or dress-up things."

I blinked. "Do people carry around weapons?"
((Wow. Oh, and I've got to go for a bit. I should be back in about half an hour))

((Bye!))

"We do, guns. Since we're in America, it's easier to get one here than to not get stared at because of your skin color or getting paid a decent wage for your labors."

"Yeah yeah yeah let's go."

I stood up and got ready.

I stood up and brushed off my dirty clothes.

I brushed myself off as well.

((I just diagnose myself with Alexithymia.))

((I don't have that))

I turned my eyes sea green and purple.

"Woah, what are you doing?"

((Lucky you.))

I watched her.

((I know))

"I can cover up our appearances with the mist if necessary."

"That's cool. Will we still see ourselves as we look now?"

I looked around. West... I looked towards where the sun wasn't rising.

((...whelp...))

((Yeah...))
