[[ OOM: Emotional hangover.]]
Bobby comes into the bar with a paperback book, a spiral notebook and an assortment of writing implements in his arms. He sets them down on a table near the bar, then goes to get 'study food' before settling in to a chair and staring at a blank notebook page, thinking of what to write.
Completely botherable.

"Bobby-san."

"Oh! Hey, Ako. What are you up to, today?"
no subject
Slobbing around being relative of course. Ako's not really that good at it.

He gestures to a seat across from him.
"Want to help me avoid writing a book report?"

He shows her the book in question.
"I have trouble organizing my thoughts into a report that makes sense without really giving away that I'm smarter then I act."
no subject
"Can you be right for the wrong reasons?"

"See...with only five students at school, the professor likes to really heap work on us. Hank is a super genius; a prodigy, almost. Warren is super rich, and had the best tutors and schooling while he was growing up. Scott is a logical thinker and great at strategy, and Jean is beautiful and smart and practical."
Maybe she can see where he's going with this.
"I'm the youngest. The practical joker and the screw up. They almost expect me to to be dumb. If they find out I'm not as much of an idiot as they think, they'll expect me to do like...ten times more than they already do."
no subject
"Oh. Um, I've never really tried to make my work look worse than it is," says Ako.
"Does it all have to be written out or can you do the report another way?"
no subject
He's fully capable of doing the work, it's just hat he doesn't want to.
"I like it better when we all have to read the same book, then just have a group discussion about it."

He perks up a bit.
"If I could draw, and had longer than three days, it would be nearly perfect."

He grins and offers her a cookie from the plate on the table.
"He'd just tell me to finish that AND do the report. There are lots of movies made about the book, so he's making me do a written report, but make sure I actually read the book."
no subject
"I'm sorry Bobby-san, I just don't know how you'd pull it off. You might have to bite the bullet and get a good mark."
She feels your pain Bobby. Really.
no subject
He winks and takes a bite of cookie.
"Another reason not to let on that I'm not that dim. I'm not brilliant, or anything--I'm just a guy of average intelligence who is almost always surrounded by incredibly brainy people."
So, of course he's going to SEEM a bit dim.

The girls with the worst marks are the Baka Rangers. They have colors.
no subject
It's a good trade off for him to stay at Xavier's and play dumb.
He shrugs and nudges his notebook aside. Time for a change in topic.
"Thanks to the magic of Milliways, I don't have to worry about it, right way. Is there a reason your getting more dressed up, today? Got a hot date?"

He sighs and picks up his glass of milk, taking a sip.
"Love's nothing but trouble anyway, from what I can tell."
no subject
Because something obviously did.

Though he was involved in that whole thing, too.
"I basically declared my undying love for someone I'm barely friends with, and I don't even know why."
no subject
Minds are special. Costume changes, body swapping, all that leaves the minds as minds and didn't really touch the minds involved. This is deeply different and that's not good.
