There was a notice a few days ago from Miss Ayala about the possibility of starting a school. I haven't worked out all of the details yet but it looks like I'll be acting as Headmaster.

If you're going to be involved in the school in any way, I'd like if we could become acquainted. If we haven't been introduced yet, my name is Tarrlok.

Thank you for your time, and I do hope that this project is a success. [Because kids need something to keep them out of trouble.]

There don't seem to be too many differences in the basic laws, although I'm hardly a scientist. If we can all exist here together, I'm sure some things must be consistent.

[You can totally teach nuclear physics to a twelve year old, kids need challenges. And more homework.]

They would have to be, yes. Although I am very interested in finding out which ones apply and which ones do not.

( kids should just want to learn everything - education and knowledge is exciting! the conversation visible with Damian is interesting, but Shockwave is a very poor example of keeping politics out of education in the first place. still, something to note.

just don't mention the kidnapping. )

My name is Shockwave, and I've only arrived within the last few days.

[Shockwave. That's an odd name. But he won't mention it.]

That recently? You've been settling in alright, then?

There have been a few things that I've had to adjust to but nothing overly difficult. ( and then - ) Does it rain often here?

( this is an important question and shockwave hasn't come across anyone else who's been here long enough to answer. )

Not terribly often, that I've noticed. [He spent a few months as a recluse so he might be a bad person to ask.]

You're taking this well, if you've only been here three days. Better than I took it, at least.

Excellent. ( not going to extrapolate, but shockwave's smile turns wistful. ) There's nothing to be done about it, is there? And I admit to finding myself here far more favorable than what awaited me on my own planet.

You're not the only one. [He's dead so he isn't too eager to go back.]

Making the best of the situation is the best course of action, I think.

( in ways that count, so's shockwave. )

I completely agree. There's plenty here to keep one busy as well, thankfully.

I am thankful for that, at least.

Well, most of the time, anyways. [When things like the Malicant fiasco happened, he'd rather have nothing to do.]

Most of the time?

( absolutely going to ask for that clarification. )
