[Oh look. It's a Tsukasa. How nice! Tsukasa's curled up under a tree, with a little portable desk, some pens, and some pencils, along with a few erasers. The little not!Wavemaster is sketching, though if one were to look over her shoulder or at the sketches that have been discarded, something... doesn't look quite right. The scenery is detailed, sure, but the people, when they appear in the drawings, look... off. Faces are either blank, or just look plain frightening.]

[... She might have a few that aren't so disturbing, but you'll have to ask, specifically.]

I'm sure you will! Though I heard exams were pretty fierce in Japan.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

They are. I had to take one to get into this school, too. ... Normally it wouldn't be processed so quickly, but Sakuma-san talked to the head of the school, who was kind enough to understand the circumstances.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[nods] That's good, then. When are you going to be heading off to university? It's hard to tell, with the--avatar, and everything.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

In a few years. I'm just starting high school, basically...

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

Yeah? How have you been liking it, so far?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

It's all right. I'm doing make-up classes, since I was technically accepted but just barely. I... still need to learn what was covered winter semester last year. I know a lot of it since I studied on my own, but...

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

Catch-up isn't easy. I had a cold for a month in secondary school for a month and that was a lot of work to catch-up on just for that. I guess the Plane helps a bit for that?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

It does. A lot of it's pretty simple, it just has to get done.

Once regular classes start up again, though, I think I'll probably be even busier. So coming here will be a nice relief.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[grins] I already know where I'll be studying for my exams.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

It's almost like you get more hours in the day. [Grins back.]

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it's murder on the sleep schedule, though.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[Laughs.] At least I sleep now. It's strange to get used to sleeping and eating, still. I'm still... having trouble remembering to do it at the right time time so I don't pass out in class.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

You didn't sleep and eat before?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

I didn't have to when I was stuck in the game. I guess it's because I was data or... something.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[considers] You said you were in a coma at the time, too, right? So even if the physical part of you wasn't entirely separated from - the rest of it - the doctors would take care of everything else.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. That might be it. Feeding tubes or... something like that, right?

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[nods] It's not an easy thing to come out of, I know.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

Mm. At least I managed to come out of the coma without too many complications. It's still hard for me to walk around a lot sometimes, but supposedly that's because my muscled atrophied a bit.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

Do you have a physical therapist working with you?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do. I see them once a week.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

You're recovering pretty nicely, then. That's a really good sign.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. Though it's kind of helped along that I have to walk until I get to the train station. And then walk to where I'm going. And vice versa.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[grins a bit]

Nothing like a little necessity to help you along?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[Snickers.] That's true.
