the hickoter ride took two and a half hours so I was down to halfway before I was the same strength again, which did worry me, I was down to [33/50] and then I'd be at [33/210] which if it does happen, which it probably will, is going to be the lowest it's been since meeting Luan.
the people in the copter were all armed and all calm, well not all.
one person was dressed in dress clothes and a lab coat.
and they looked extremely excited.
"it's not everyday you meet a species that was supposedly extinct thousands of years ago?!"(biologist)
"is she always like that?"(Syn) I asked to the dude to my immediate right.
a small shrug and the general atmosphere in here told me all I needed to know about the energetic woman's antics.
it didn't take long for me to start ignoring her and staring out of the window, studying the landscapes below.
it looked strikingly similar to earth, except for different names for places the general idea of things was almost identical.
I started boredly wondering if TV shows were a thing here.
which tha kfully didn't last long because the copter started the process of landing on top of a weird building, it looked like it was pulled straight from a sci-fi movie, odd metal construction and holographic lights everywhere that accompanied teenagers milling about.
oh fuck this is a highschool isn't it.
the last place I'd ever want to be in no matter the circumstance, highschool is where happy kids go to die inside.
once the helicopter landed none of the people inside moved for a sec, all of em started looking nervous, almost like their survival instincts were yelling run and don't run at the same time, it's quite the feeling when it happens your fight and flight trying to dominate your reactions, not fun if you need to react instantly.
the sound of steps pulled me from my thoughts as I almost nervously awaited whatever it was that made those steps, almost bursting out laughing that I was even nervous in the first place.
a dwarf came shuffling around the corner dressed in military dress and having tje dumbest mustache I'd ever seen on anybody face, I was nearly in tears with how much the dude looked like a hipster version of an oompa loompa.
of course he had to notice, shooting me an angry stare as I wiped my tears eyes and bit my cheek to hold my laugh.
his angry stare made him look even worse and I finally couldn't stop myself, bursting put in hysterical laughter as I shamelessly rolled around on the floor of the now landed helicopter, I was holding my sides as I rolled because they were hurting so much.
"you done?"(dwarf)
I was nowhere near done.
I had caught a glimpse of his rainbow socks that had an Interesting color at the bottom...gold.
I lost it, the lucky charms commercials and the words 'me pot of gold' surfaced in my memory as I couldn't stop myself from further losing it.
it took me 5 entire minutes before I was any semblance of calm and able to look this tiny man in the eyes without laughing in anyway shape or form.
everyone else looked at me like I had a death wish but he just sat there with an annoyed expression.
which didn't help at all.
"follow me please."(dwarf) said to me in monotone.
I picked myself from the floor as it felt wrong to be above eye level and followed after the teeny tiny man, man how funny would it be if his name was Tim?
fuckin tiny Tim, the second I thought that I was laughing again as tiny Tim is also a small dick insult in alot of places.
I had to stop myself before I lost it in the rabbit hole of small dick jokes, I mean it didn't seem right to me, we have all these small dick jokes but you make one comment about vaginas and people lose their shit like you ran over their dog, the hells up with that?
"what the fuck are you thinking about?!"(armed man)
"huh? oh....sorry."(Syn)
I resumed following the dwarf after realizing I'd been standing there zoning out for who knows how long, thinking about the sexism of gential insults.
wow.
thank God that mind readers don't exist.
we passed through halls and crowds of people as by now it was bustling mud morning and people had stuff to do.
eventually I was led to a large wood door, which seemed heavily unnecessary to me but to each their own I guess, pushing it open with one hand I strolled in casually while still dressed in pj's and a robe.
"who gave him those clothes?"(principal)
"no idea ma'am."(dwarf)
"who gave you those clothes?"(principal)
"no one."(Syn)
"then how'd you get them?"(principal)
"none of your business."(Syn)
she looked annoyed at my blunt responses but I didn't care.
she waved away the dwarf and his goons with one hand while motioning for me to sit with the other.
"we have no other choice but to do this since you look like a teenager and by law all teenagers must enroll in one of these schools."(principal)
"do what?"(Syn)
"enroll you here and have you attending classes."(principal)
"your men found me in a tube where I'd been asleep for over 6,000 years, tell me what could I possibly get from this place?"(Syn)
"I know that for a few more hours you're weak enough for me to kill, so the pure threat of that should be enough."(principal)
"hahahahahahahahahaha"(Syn)
her facial expression became one of pure bewilderment.
"I can heal fatser than you can attack, I have a demon in me that sometimes likes to take control, what makes you think you could bruise me?"(Syn)
"your low stats."(principal)
"so like a coward you only strike the wounded or dying."(Syn)
"thats!...."(principal)
"no, in nature you don't show mercy and you don't make threats, you stay in your lane and you don't fuck eith those above you, so stay in your lane."(Syn) I told her, my voice full of primal power.
"you can't threaten me here!"(principal)
"i don't make threats."(Syn)
