So Barge High is a thing. What about after high school? Is there any chance of Barge U?

[fire_punk]

Oh, shut up, Chris. That's not what that was about.

[mistconduct]

BOOKS. WHAT ARE WORDS.

[fire_punk]

Yeah, books. But not because we might not have them. I'm sure the Admiral could get them if we couldn't get them in a port.

[mistconduct]

We have a library on deck. Of course we have books.

[fire_punk]

Yeah, but who knows if we have the books for college stuff.

[mistconduct]

What would you even have as a major?

[fire_punk]

Weather... Meteorology.

[mistconduct]

Wanna be a weatherman?

[fire_punk]

Hell, no. [He makes a face.] I want to know how not to screw up any planet we port at if I have to use my stepmom's powers.

[mistconduct]

Oh. Well that's easy. Don't use 'em.

[fire_punk]

They're less likely to kill someone by accident. And what if I don't stay here forever? I'd rather know what I'm doing.

[mistconduct]

Don't stay here forever. That's a shitty idea.

There's gotta be someone else who has weather-related powers. Or you could dick around in the CES for a while.

[fire_punk]

No, it's an awesome idea.

Yeah, the CES will help. But I don't want to end the world over something stupid like a rainstorm.

[mistconduct]

No, it's like the worst idea in the history of fucking ever.

Bullshit, you couldn't do that.

[fire_punk]

I don't want to go anywhere else.

Yeah, you can. It's why I really wasn't supposed to use them alone until I finished college.

[mistconduct]

That's because you haven't been to all the cool places.

And when you finished college you would just magically know how to use them?

[fire_punk]

The cool places like where? [Cool places aren't always home, Chris.]

I know how to use them. But weather's not like fire. I can start a fire wherever I want without it causing a hurricane. But if I stop the wrong storm, it can make a real mess.

[mistconduct]

New York. Duh.

Well, don't stop the wrong storm, Butterfly.

[fire_punk]

That's what the college is for. Duh.

[mistconduct]

Ever think of picking up a career as a tornado chaser?

[fire_punk]

Why would I want to do that?

[mistconduct]

It gets you money and fame and you can do it no sweat?

[fire_punk]

If I wanted to be famous, I could just go back to my world. And storms tend to fight back. They don't like being messed with.

[mistconduct]

Well, why the hell would you need to create them in the first place? Just don't do the thing.

[fire_punk]

I wouldn't. Who said anything about making them?
