Of all the viruses not to get, I'm glad it was that one.  Guys shouldn't be magical girls.  It's sorta creepy.

Anyway, I had two questions for everyone not related to that.  The first was if anyone had a favorite piece of classical music.  If you remember the composer, that's okay, and if not, that's okay, too.  Answering isn't important if you don't want to.  I was just curious.  The second is...this is hard to ask.  But--well....

Could someone tell me what high school is like?

1) I don't listen to music.

2) Bullsh— ah, no, I didn't even make it to high school. Never mind. But it's probably bullshit.

[childrenoflilim]

[he'll touch on the school issue later, but someone not listening to music? ever? that's crazy talk.] You've heard at least one classical song, right? Everyone knows at least one.

[jailbirds]

Shinji, if you ask me to think of a song, all I can remember is creepy fuckin' carnival music. Sure, I might have heard one once before, but I don't know any.

[daretotry]

I don't think I know any classical music.

And high school...well, I guess it depends what group you're in. It can be great if you're on top, but if you're not you're probably gonna hate it.

[childrenoflilim]

Not even Beethoven? Or Bach?

...oh. So nothing really changes between middle school and high school.

[daretotry]

Beethoven...the dog?

People get meaner. But no, not really.

[makewayforroze]

You're the only one I've heard play an instrument.

[childrenoflilim]

No one near you can play an instrument, Miss Rose?

[makewayforroze]

It isn't a very popular thing to do. Still, it was nice hearing you.

[mightletyouknowme]

It's full of evil, vicious girls who are jealous of anybody who's better than them.

[childrenoflilim]

It wouldn't be so bad for a boy, would it?

[mightletyouknowme]

Why wouldn't you know?

[dekillerqueen]

Although it is not classical music in the correct definition of the term, I am fond of Krzysztof Penderecki and his work.

[childrenoflilim]

Penderecki...somehow that makes sense.

[novicius]

High... school?

As for musica, I cannot say who the composer is, but my mother enjoys a piece called Salve Regina. The bards here tend to make their own work as well.

[childrenoflilim]

You've never heard of it before? I'll try explaining although I'm not very good at it. Sorry if I don't make any sense.

High schools are--schools. You usually start when you're 14, but you can be a little younger or older depending on your birthday. Teachers cover math, history, literature, science, and other subjects to get you ready for life as an adult. You're there for four years then graduate; some people go onto university and others start working right after that. And while you're there, you can join clubs for things that you like. Sports and culture clubs are the most popular. It's how people meet most of their friends. Sometimes they stay in touch for the rest of their lives. High school's important for a lot of reasons so...yeah.

Was that okay?

Oh?

[ whoops. genuinely curious, as always. welcome to social failure 101 with kaworu nagisa. lilim culture was sometimes kind of a mystical and evasive creature, even now.

even so, there's a small pause. between one text and the next: ]

Despite size and classes, Gekkoukan does not tend to vary much. [ familiarity was often comforting. often a tad more comforting, though he knows it has taken much. to reach such a decision. to hold to one. ] The Music Club happens to be quite popular, however.

[childrenoflilim]

[so lilim culture is like a herd of unicorns and a single lilim is a unicorn?]

That's where you and Asuka went, right? And that's where I would have to go. If I got in, anyway.

...what's that like? The Music Club?

[zuipperpips]

All high schools in Japan have uniforms so finding a place like that wouldn't be hard, but why would you want to sneak into school? Don't most people want to sneak out?

[stillneedawish]

You could have been someone like La Maschera instead, Shinji-kun! Then you wouldn't've had to be a magical girl. Mm, as for me, I thought it was... really nice, for a few days.

What sort of things about high school did you want to know? I'm still only in middle school myself, but apparently Mitakihara's syllabus includes some things from a high-school level, but I don't know if that would be any use to you... mm, either way, I hope you find out what you're looking for!

[childrenoflilim]

Was La Maschera the mascot character? I'm not too sure if that's any better.... But I'm glad the virus wasn't as bad for you.

Knowing what somebody learns in high school would be really helpful. That way you can prepare for it. Starting high school work so early...that's impressive, Kaname-san.

[material_guy]

Damn right it's creepy. Isn't there a Holiday called Halloween this place can set the really scary stuff like that aside for?

As for the music thing... Anything that's not a dance song.

[childrenoflilim]

You choose your costume for Halloween. I guess the community felt it should put people in things they'd never wear this time. It probably thought it was funny.

Why not dances?

[heavenlyhome]

I don't know the name of the piece-- I believe you played it once some time ago, Shinji-kun. It was lovely. I also become fond of the piece Kaworu-kun was composing, though I heard only part of it. Perhaps it is more accurate to say I enjoy whatever classical music either of you have chosen to play.
