[hm. bad. but taichi takes a few steps back, dropping the ball and immediately bouncing it from foot to foot.]

Come on then. You probably won't even sweat that much.

[ercnerd]

[Oh, no.]

Does no one else here like to play soccer?

[goalsides]

I don't know, but you're the only one who's here right now.

[we are gonna prove a point, sieg!! what point, who knows, but a point!!]

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart, too, will prove a point.]

How about I watch you instead? I don't like running.

[goalsides]

I'm starting to think you're scared of not being good at it.

[ercnerd]

Who, me? I already know what I'm good and not good at. Besides, I'm more of a baseball guy.

[goalsides]

Then grab a bat and I'll pitch. [PROVE IT!!!

not that taichi's a baseball person, but it's not like it's hard to play.]

[ercnerd]

Hm . . . but I don't feel like it?

[goalsides]

That's very disrespectful to the field, Sieghart. [is it.]

[ercnerd]

It's disrespectful to force people to attend a school they didn't apply for.

[goalsides]

Okay, that wasn't my fault though so that shouldn't even count here.

[ercnerd]

My point is, I'm not doing anything I don't want to if I have a choice.

[goalsides]

[rolling his eyes.]

Does that include going to class and doing the task board stuff?

[ercnerd]

Of course. Is there a reason I should be doing either?

[goalsides]

[good question.]

You're really not at all curious about what's going on here?

[ercnerd]

If you want to talk curiosity, what's that dean's list about?

[goalsides]

I've been asking that question all day. Haven't gotten an answer yet.

[ercnerd]

I haven't met the other two yet. Was there something you did that was different from everyone else?

[goalsides]

...uh...[...he was very confident about five seconds ago and now sieg is giving him a mild crisis.] No? How would I know when I don't know what everybody else is doing?

[ercnerd]

[Perish.]

Then how about this: what did you do that was related to school?

[goalsides]

Same thing as the rest of you. I woke up in a dorm full of strangers and then bugged our dorm heads when they came online.

[ercnerd]

Is that right? . . . What did the Dorm Heads say?

[He assumes Taichi must've asked them already.]

[goalsides]

[unfortunately he's right.]

That it's based on the principal's own criteria and it's a good thing. No word on what the hell the criteria was in the first place.

[ercnerd]

[That's helpful. Thanks, Principal Bear.]

Well, regardless of what the criteria is, it's good to know that we have a star pupil in our very own dorm.

[goalsides]

Man, don't say that. [he would rather be buried in the dirt than be a star pupil.] I was hoping Chad could at least tell me what kind of criteria but apparently the dorm heads don't know either. It's whatever this bear decides is noteworthy.
