Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!

[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

High school?

[ ??? ]

[ ….???? ]

What d’dya thinks comes before secondary school?

[troublereduction]

I dunno, I think most kids who can afford to go there usually get tutored, or somethin'?

[ Ah yes, cultural differences. ]

[ …He feels like he needs another drink, actually. ]

So you’re saying you don’t have mandatory schooling where you’re from, but you still got college?

[ College?? But no regular school ???? ]

[troublereduction]

We've got temple schools, but I dunno 'bout whether you'd call 'em mandatory. Usually, they're the only place a village or town's got to go learn at, especially if you're a peasant.

And all the secondary schools are pretty specialized, now that I think about it...

[ ...He'd been under the impression he'd been a more modern (???) type, but apparently that isn't the case. ]

School's mandatory where I come from, from when you're 6 'till you graduate at 18. [ Well, kinda. ] You can drop out, but people'll give ya shit for it. Harder to get a job, too, but you can manage.

[ It's a testament to how good Day is at mirroring people when he puts his mind to it, maybe. ]

Huh. [ Mandatory schooling... Sounds like a pipe dream to him, but, if there's a world where education is a right and not a privilege, that's a good thing. ] Do you guys still have stuff like apprenticeships?

[fullspbar]

[ ...Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't really know anything about this guy...besides the fact he's apparently never been swimming before (citation needed)?? Huh. ]

I guess, yeah. [ Shinjiro leans back a bit in his chair, brows furrowing. ] That's usually for stuff like...carpenters, though. Traditional crafts, or stuff like that.

[troublereduction]

[ Oh, Shinjiro. Buddy. ]

Heh, it really is different. That's what most people end up doin' to pick up a trade where I'm from, if they ain't inheritin' the family business or somethin'. I used to be apprenticed at a theatre myself.
