You're pretty horrible. I kinda like that.

[It's refreshing to meet someone as positive as she can be.]

Can you tell me more about those? No one's really told me about those yet, you know?

Thank, I think. [He shrugs.]

I... I can tell you more, sure. But 'creepy things' is kind of a broad subject. Where do I begin?

Well, pretend you're the new one instead of me...and tell me the things you wish you'd known, maybe?

Um... Well... [He thinks it over carefully.]

You can never be too careful. And you should always try to be near someone else. Because, all kinds of unreal things happen here. Monsters and ghosts... um, they're real. ...Sorry. [He feels bad about breaking things to such a nice newcomer.]

Oh. I knew about monsters. Ghosts, as a scientist and inventor, are going to be a bit harder to believe. But if I can be abducted to a spooky school, I'm willing to try.

[Look, she's still smiling, though part of it is for Kurt's sake.]

I already have a sleeping buddy, too! Her name's Erica. She's just as cute as I am.

This place is an educational course in believing the unbelievable... [He sighs with a weak laugh.] Oh, be careful in the bathrooms! They say there are definitely gross ghosts there.

A sleeping buddy? Great going, you're ahead of the game! [He gives her a thumbs up.] Are you two thinking of charming any enemies away?

Aw, I spent all day in the bathroom and I didn't see any ghosts there. I don't think the guys and girls I were with saw anything either.

[Let that sink in. She had guys and girls in the restroom with her.]

Oh, I dunno about that. It looks like you're the one trying to do the charming around here, huh?

[He just called her charming! He invited the flirting.]

Well, you're lucky then. Trust me, you don't want to meet these ghosts. [He shakes his head, but then he blinks as that one detail sets in.] Wait, what kind of bathroom was this...?

[But then he points to himself sheepishly at the accusations of trying to charm.]

M-me? I'm not trying anything. It's just... um... [He tries to run a hand through his hair.] ...all natural charm!

It was the girl's bathroom! Why?

[She still doesn't think it was a big deal.]

What, are you embarrassed? You know, that's kind of cute!

[He's not as good looking as some of the others, but he's definitely top ten material.]

There were... a bunch of guys in there? [Sure he was stuck in there not too long ago, but it was part of an emergency!]

N-no! [He nervously scratches at his neck and looks away.] No embarrassment here, no sir!

Oh, yeah! They came in to tell me how cute I was!

[Precis should really slow down and think about how her story sounds.]

What's your name, anyways? I'm Precis! I should've mentioned that first. Precis F. Neumann!

That sounds... concerning.

[He blinks.]

Precis, huh? Now that's a precious name! ...Um, me, I'm Kurt Wagner! Nice to meet you. [He awkwardly extends his hand for a handshake.]

Really? I had a lot of fun with it!

[It's not her fault people kept stopping to chat with her.]

Precisely! [It's more of a spelling pun, but she'll take it just as she'll take his hand and give a firm handshake.] It's nice to meet you, Kurt. Or it would be, but we're stuck in ghost school. Let's make the most of it, alright?

If- if you say so! Boys just aren't supposed to wander into the girl's bathroom, you know...

[Headscratch. Kurt gives his own, looser handshake.]

Right! Making the most of ghost school is pretty much all we can do for now...

I invited them in, so it's fine! I promise.

[Firm for Precis isn't very strong to begin with, so that works. She's still puny.]

I don't know about you, but I'm in a better mood now. I was starting to worry I'd feel mopey.

Well, I guess that gives them immunity... [He says a little jokingly. But really, that's what had happened to him, too. ...Except in Kurt's case, it was only done to take shelter in a life-threatening situation. Still, it doesn't seem like something to argue about it.]

Man, I'm glad to hear it! Being mopey stinks. Especially on your first day of school!

[one day he should tell her that story because i want to hear it]

Oh, yeah, the first day! Only instead of my old man crying at the gates, he has no clue where I am right now.

[She did planet-hop before arriving, so that makes changing locations even more complicated.]

[Well maybe he could!!]

R-right. [He says with a nervous smile. Even though it sounds like she's making light of it, it still sounds like a sad thing.] At least it, um... saves us on some tears. Until we find our way out of this joint!

[She's always cynical, don't mind her. She could point out that being here might make some people cry, but she won't. Maybe she's the more iron-spirited of the two. Maybe Kurt is the crier and she's the shoulder.]

Right! And where there's an entrance, there's an exit! Now that I'm here, our chances of finding it have doubled!

[It's a very likely analysis... Shoulder on, Precis.

Kurt smirks confidently at her statement.]

Hey, I can't argue with hat confidence! Should we start calling you Exit Girl?

You can call me anything as long as it's not "Stuck Here Forever Girl."

[That would be pretty much the worst superhero name to have in a place like this, right? But she quickly adds on an addendum.]

Oh, but no weird nicknames. I gotta preserve my cuteness a little, y'know?

[Kurt laughs.]

Don't worry. That one doesn't have that much of a catch to it anyway. And I wasn't planning on using the other one seriously anyway. You can keep your cute name for yourself, Precis.

Well, as long as I've got your permission to keep using it, I will!

[Sounds like a fair deal to her.]

You're kind of funny. You and I, we should keep talking.

Good job. I hope I don't have to sign a permission slip or anything...

[Wow, someone actually finds him funny. Awesome!]

You're pretty funny too, I'd say. We can definitely arrange that! Just have your people talk to my people!

If we wait for our parents to sign anything, we'll never get anything done. Time to start learning how to forge signatures, right?

[Precis could probably forge her dad's signature. One time, her group dabbled in forging documents and getting free items.]

Sounds like a plan! I'm sure I'll be pretty busy, but I always make time for the normal people. Can't forget my roots!

[She's apparently a superstar now? Yeah.]
