"Okay. Picture a cone," Taika says, drawing a picture.

"Now picture a plane bisecting it."

"As I cut the cone at different angles, the shape made by the cone and the plane changes. These are the conic sections."

"These are the paths that gravity causes bodies to follow. Make sense?"

Actually, yeah kinda. Jen replied beaming

"Agatha isn't really challenging at all. Well she is if you consider it to be like 'turn the straight girl gay' as a challenge, but what I mean is that Mal makes me think about things more than I would normally. Especially myself. She makes me a better person by challenging the person I am right now. Agatha is just hot. Really, REALLY hot, but I doubt the attention she gets is much more than that," Alex admits. "From the student body at large anyway, because they don't really know her. Those of us in the know crush on her because she also has a great personality."

"I'm sure that half of her attention is that challenge." Nate replies.

Umm... Mrs. Himura? I umm, I know I didn't do so well on the test. And uhh, I know, Math isn't exactly my best subject, so I was wondering if maybe I could take the test again after school? After getting some extra tutoring?

Mrs.Himura pulls up your mostly blank test.

"No, you can't take the test again, now you know the questions."

She does soften up after that. "Is there a reason you were asleep during testing though? Family problems?" She asks.

Luna is patting your shoulder and standing there awkwardly.

[Illven]

A look of confusion crosses P'ro'shi's face "Huh? Most of that class is participation and bothering to follow the dress code."

"Maybe in middle school." Heather replies frowning.

[Esprit15]

Taika smiles. "After that point, it's just icing and sprinkles. This is the main concept in tracking things in space."

[Lentrax]

It doesn't have to be the same test ma'am. I wouldn't want it that way. And... Yes. I am having some issues with home right now. I am sorry I fell asleep. I just.... Sakata sighs.

Thank you, Mrs. Himura. I'll just go now. Thanks, Luna. I probably wouldn't have even tried to ask if it weren't for you.

[Necroticplague]

"Maybe in middle school." Heather replies frowning.

"What part'cha you having trouble with now?"

[Illven]

Taika smiles. "After that point, it's just icing and sprinkles. This is the main concept in tracking things in space."

And you need to figure out which of the 4 orbits they are in?

It doesn't have to be the same test ma'am. I wouldn't want it that way. And... Yes. I am having some issues with home right now. I am sorry I fell asleep. I just.... Sakata sighs.

Thank you, Mrs. Himura. I'll just go now. Thanks, Luna. I probably wouldn't have even tried to ask if it weren't for you.

Mrs.Himura softens up at the home mentions.

"I'll give you the absentee test. It'll be harder though." She warns.

"What part'cha you having trouble with now?"

"The. I'm weak part." Heather mentions.

[Lentrax]

I think anything would be better than my name and a drool puddle, ma'am.

[Illven]

"Are you going to be okay to take the test after school?" Mrs.Himura asks.

I'll pump her full of caffeine. Luna promises.

[Lentrax]

25 or 50 CCs aughts do it. Right to the heart... Heh. Luna, this is the first time you and I have really ever talked, and already want to start playing with my heart. Sakata smiles impishly as the thought fills her head.

It's what I'm good at. Luna teased back.

Mrs.Himura rolls her eyes "So, is that all?" She asks.

[Lentrax]

For half a second, Sakata forgot where she was. For a half a second after it, she blushed a deep scarlet.

In the space of three seconds she was down in a deep bow, head lowered. Mrs. Himura! Y-yes! Hai! I am concluded in my request for me to humbly prove my idiocy to you!

"You're not an idiot. Just tired. I know how tiring family can be." Mrs.Himura replied dismissing Sakata with a wave.

As you two leave Luna pulls out a book.

So what's your biggest concern over the test.

everyone keeps talking about these things called... Num bers. she intentionally leaves the gap between the the syllables. What are these Num Bers but I don't know what to do with them. I mean, I can add and subtract and stuff, but remembering hater stuff? That's way beyond me!

[Esprit15]

"Among other things, yes. What orbit, how close are the nearest portions to us, and so on. Is it too close to Earth, in the case of asteroids and comets, what will the stars say happens tomorrow? All important things."

This is a hat. Luna teases, conjuring a top hat from thin air, and placing it on your head.

Strangely the hat lacks any feel or weight.

"Among other things, yes. What orbit, how close are the nearest portions to us, and so on. Is it too close to Earth, in the case of asteroids and comets, what will the stars say happens tomorrow? All important things."

I thought Astrology was bunk? Jen comments.

[Necroticplague]

"The. I'm weak part." Heather mentions.

P'rto'shi smiles as if she's relieved at something. "Ah. In that case, you've actually missed some of the point. Proper form and skill can make strength relatively irrelevant. Even weightlifting can be improved with good form."

[Esprit15]

"No, newspaper horoscopes are bunk. Astrology is very much accurate."

[Illven]

P'rto'shi smiles as if she's relieved at something. "Ah. In that case, you've actually missed some of the point. Proper form and skill can make strength relatively irrelevant. Even weightlifting can be improved with good form."

"Oh, what form?" Heather replied.

"No, newspaper horoscopes are bunk. Astrology is very much accurate."

What's the difference? Jen replied.

[Ionbound]

"Okay.... Vampire club has helped a little bit... I just.... I hate how we shun you." He replies.

Gwen smiles and hugs Luke, saying, "Thank you." She then lets him go and says, "All of this mess, though...I just...I wish...That...That my sire had just killed me."

[Illven]

Luke winces at that.

"For what it's worth... I'm happy you're alive." He says.

[Necroticplague]

"Oh, what form?" Heather replied.

P'ro'shi takes a moment to think before responding. "Depends on your task. For bench press, its all about finding proper distance to hold your arms and getting your core involved as well as your shoulders. Climbing rope, hold it sideways between your feet to make a platform, use your legs to push off it, grab, slide legs up like carbiner, and repeat. Don't try and just drag yourself by your arms, you'll wear yourself out. General rule, more of your body you can get to help, easier it is."

"But the platform is in mid-air?" Heather replied clearly confused.

[Esprit15]

"The same difference between Freudian psychology and modern psychology. We know a lot more when we apply the latter, but the former is more fun to talk about."

[The TechnoGnome]

"Oh hell yeah." Melissa replied giving Mal a quick peck.

"Good," Mallory said as she felt her face flush, "Then you should have no problem with just admiring me instead. I may not have Agatha's curves, but I have plenty going for me elsewhere."

Oh, can you tell my future? Jen asked extending a hand.

"Good," Mallory said as she felt her face flush, "Then you should have no problem with just admiring me instead. I may not have Agatha's curves, but I have plenty going for me elsewhere."

"Like cute sexy lips?" Melissa asked pecking again.

[Anubis Dread]

"I'm sure that half of her attention is that challenge." Nate replies.

"Well if that's the appeal they need to back off. I may have hit on her a bit, but that was just to see if she really wasn't into girls or not. And to see if I counted as a girl," Alex amended. "Now that that's set in stone girls leering at her need to stop. Not that they'd know because they don't know her... huh," she frowned.

Wait, were Melissa and Mal... "F***ing damn it, how come she can get away with that s*** without a contract!" Alex cursed. Her eyes actually prickled a bit... was she that upset? Jealous maybe? No, not jealous. She didn't get jealous, she liked the people she was with to have a life outside of herself. More... envious, maybe. Or feeling slighted that Melissa seemed to have SUCH an easy time getting with Mal when she'd known her longer and tried harder and still wasn't officially in yet.

"Maybe she signed one already?" Nate offered.

[The TechnoGnome]

"Like cute sexy lips?" Melissa asked pecking again.

"Slow down, we aren't dating yet," Mallory gently chided as she put her hands on Melissa's shoulders and (very gently) pushed back.

"But, uh, you really think that my lips are sexy?" she added, brushing her hair back and grinning sheepishly.

[Anubis Dread]

"Maybe she signed one already?" Nate offered.

"That's even worst! She gets a contract where she's allowed to peck and I get one where any kissing is frowned upon? The f***?!" Alex scowled, before resting her head in her arms and groaning. "I like Mal a lot, but sometimes she really pisses me off. And not in the good way."

[Illven]

"Slow down, we aren't dating yet," Mallory gently chided as she put her hands on Melissa's shoulders and (very gently) pushed back.

Melissa looks down and nods.
