>A world never sleeps. There is always something in motion. And while one person rests, another person will be going through events that will change the very fabric of their being. So, no matter the time, a world never sleeps.

>In fact, when it's night, the world usually has the stories that are the most interesting. The moonlit confrontations next to towering buildings. Feelings pouring out under a torrent of rain by the light of streetlamps. Something as simple as a bare knuckle brawl on a prairie next to a river. There's a magic to night that can make anything seem poetic, and wonderful.

>Whether the roaring torrent of feelings was the last desperate attempt to convince somebody that they were meant to be together, or an amorous young adult in a night club attempting to explain to their would-be paramour why the mullet is objectively Superman's best haircut.

>That's the kind of world this is. Conflicts of world-ending portents, rising emotion. People crossing fists for fun, and arguments so heated that they couldn't be about anything other than the trivial.

>Both are important. Both are enjoyable.

>Welcome to Shining Light.

>This had been a long time coming.

>Arthur walked forward, posture as terrible as it had ever been, with purpose. Today was the day he thanked his savior(?).

>A long time ago, under a moonlit night and while the air was still, he had very nearly been sexually harassed by a hot redhaired musclegirl within the comfort of his late night eating. Fortunately for him, a saviour had come. A saviour that looked like it had leapt out of a magazine with the one word title of 'Alt.' Sure, he'd scrambled away while she took the horny brunt of the aforementioned musclegirl and maybe he'd just abandoned her to her fate, but hopefully that wouldn't be all that hard to explain.

>Doubly fortunately in the wake of this, when he'd described the nature of the affair to Lance, he'd just casually revealed that he knew the person Arthur was describing, and gave some ideas for a thank you gift. That man really did know everybody...

>Arthur had spent a fair amount of time mulling over what he'd get, and nearly the same amount of time waiting for it to be shipped to the US. And now, here he was. Standing in front of what he had been told was her room, plastic bag in hand.

>Arthur took a deep breath. Fear was starting to seep into his brain. The longer he stood there, the more every part of his body screamed at him to get away from the area now while he still had the chance.

>Arthur knocked at the door before he could stop himself.

>Too late now. The die is cast.

>Here's hoping she didn't look at him like the reaction images did.

>Arthur blinked.

>This was not the response he had envisaged. That was generally a good thing, especially when it was to do with his over-active imagination regarding interactions with the fairer sex, but it did leave him somewhat...puzzled.

H-hi.

>Was what he managed to choke out first, before he cleared his throat, tried his best to stand up straight, and went through the lines he'd practiced in his head.

Hi. You're, uh, Janice right? Lance said he knows you.

There was a night...a while back now, and you uh, sorta helped me from getting aggressively hit on by a girl in the cafeteria late at night?

>Arthur pulled up the plastic bag as he recounted a truncated version of the events that had lead to this horrific nightmare occurring right now.

I...thought I'd get you a thank you present. It's late but, I don't know what might have happened if you hadn't been there.

>A small voice in Arthur's head quietly informed him that what might have happened was him ascending beyond the shackles of being a nerdy young virgin and becoming the chad that surely everybody became when they had sex once, but Arthur violently stomped it down with the force of somebody getting a non-descript flaming brown bag on their doorstep.

>Arthur fished a rather thick looking book out of the bag. On the front was a small collection of very outlandishly dressed young teenagers, sitting on a beach and overlooking an orange sunset. Written across the top was 'Beyond: The Great Connection Omega Guide' in large letters underneath the logo.

Lance said that you liked this one, and I like it a lot too, so, I hope you don't already have it...

>Arthur seemed vaguely aware that he was on the verge of babbling, and cleared his throat. He offered Janice the book.

Thanks. I appreciate you helping.

I've got money, 'm not clearing out Friday's cellars for free.

>He was mostly clearing them out because she'd asked to keep an eye on him and also it helped him to keep abreast of anything interesting in the magic building. Maybe Arthur shouldn't have said abreast while thinking about Surprise...

>He cleared his throat.

I just...got somebody what I'd like, I guess.

>Arthur was definitely a little bit jealous. But he was also a skinflint and wasn't going to buy two of the Omega Guide when he could get most of the interviews online. Even if the artwork was very nice...

<"...I need to stop thinking about this before I take it back."

S-sure, thanks.

>In a desperate bid to not think about what he had lost in handing over the book, Arthur allowed social autopilot to take over and he walked into the room of a woman that he barely knew. Was this how Lance felt? Obviously not, Lance felt way better about these things than Arthur ever did.

It, might not have been that much but I mean, it still helped. And, I think, maybe you probably wouldn't want somebody just out there, having watched you make out with somebody...

>Frankly, the event had been a mess for everybody. Speaking of messes, Arthur's eyes widened as if a gear had clicked in his head about what he'd just referred to. Time to course correct.

Uh, not that I've thought about that. I'm, just, private? I don't know if I'd want people seeing that happen, if...I ever did. So, that's...also an apology gift?

>The words shot out of Arthur's mouth in staccato, as he desperately tried to look Janice in the eye and not at the floor. This was so goddamn hard and he hated it. People were a nightmare and it was a nightmare he wanted no part in.

>BUT!

>He couldn't just simply be ungrateful. He had a standard to live up to of being classy, refined and gracious. Arthur had totally failed three, but for the honour of queen and country he at least had to be gracious.

>>41566680

>Arthur...decided to not comment on it setting some snowballs rolling. Instead, he took the cola from Janice, cracked open the top and took a sip. Taking in the decor was thirsty work. It was practically a masterclass in never judge a book by its cover. The Alt-Girl in every teen movie was strong at the outset, but the stuffed animals and pastel colours were too strong to outweigh the small skull.

>This school was breaking all of his unpleasant American stereotypes and frankly he didn't care for it. If you couldn't trust lazy generalisations, then what could you trust?

Yyyeah. I'm in the magic building anyway most of the time, so, why not get some pay for helping out?

'S more interesting than filing paperwork for other teachers and less...

>Terrifying, intimidating, stony

...awkward than Kujo.

I've been taking care of the Dust Traps, actually.

>Arthur offhandedly mentioned, flashing back very briefly to the...tense conversation he'd has with Ms Friday regarding his intentions at this school.

They feed on rabbit hair. I thought they fed on rabbits, but uh, no. So, I guess I'm also taking care of the rabbits there.

It's nice.

>Arthur took another sip, an awkward but serene smile coming to his face as he remembered.

Nice to get paid and not really have to interact with people.

People suck sometimes. I’ve just been weirdly lucky with the ones I’ve met here.

>some part of Janice briefly wondered if that would include present company, but that remained to be seen

I haven’t really done much work for her myself. She usually doesn’t have stuff open. I guess I have you to thank for that.

But she still talks to me sometimes. She gets all… mom-y. More than usual, anyways. Trying to help me stop smoking, teaching me makeup and how to dress nice…

Hufufu~!
>Valentine chuckled, looking quite proud of himself
>"Is that a common problem with psychics...?"
Depends on the type of psychic!

If you're the "can read minds" type, then that's usually not too big of a problem. You can either reach into someone's brain, or ya just can't!

But for the "grab things with the power of your brain" type, that's when things can get tricky!

If I've read you right, you're in the latter camp, yeah?
>he took a boxing stance, and threw a few punches forward at the air
I see you move around, and it's almost like your hitboxes are way ahead of your actual model!

It's a pretty cool quirk! Don't see many like it around, so you can stroke your own ego by knowing you're decently unique~!

Can't say I've ever met anyone with the same style, anyway! But I imagine it's not too different from mind bullets, so we can probably use similar training!

OK~! We can get started!

>he aimed the ruler at Clay
So, first thing's first: we gotta figure out ex-act-y-ly how your powers work!

When you throw a punch, are you actually throwing an invisible projectile? Or are you summoning a ghoooostly fist in the spot you wanna hit?

You gotta know every detail of your quirk, if you ever want to master it!
>he swung his ruler again, and again pointed at Clay
So, how much do you know about yourself, Mr. Curtis!

She's like that though. I guess that's what teachers are like, in a sense. Well, what they should be like at least.

I'll take being a little...overly parental over being uninterested. Especially given what most of us are planning on doing eventually.

>Arthur took another gulp of the coke. He'd only had a couple of bad teachers in his life, but they were enough to make him fear to have one again. Especially if they only cared about their paycheck enough for the bare minimum, it would probably lead to him being less equipped for the times to come.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing the former?

Like...I can feel the force move off of my body when I throw a punch. It just kinda...stops after a while.

>he paused, then tilted his head as he tried to further clarify

It's kinda like someone with stretchy powers, except they're just invisible?

Yeah, I felt that. Seems like we're not dealing with any kind of "mind bullet" scenario here!
