basically a mingle
[ At buttfuck o'clock (translation: super late), if anyone decides to enter the garden, they will find the usual nice starry fake sky and nature. Nothing exactly out of place, besides a brand new campfire that Jake decided to start. ]
[ Sure, he had to dig a hole in the middle of the garden, gather some rocks around it, use the scrap paper from the suggestion box, break off dead branches, collect some fallen leaves, and pretty much kind of ruin how nice the field looked, but you know what, shhhhh... Jake doesn't really care. What matters is that he made a campfire and even if it's not super big or anything, this tiny thing is enough. You people should be happy that he used his own lighter for this. Look at how generous he is. ]
[ But anyway, Jake himself will be just relaxing in front of his achievement. Upon closer inspection, it looks like he finally used his coins to take a goddamn shower like a normal person and not take a bath in a river, so consider your annual miracle slot filled. 20 coins for a shower and 15 for shampoo, ridiculous... He doesn't want to shave his head that badly so he'll keep his hair and whatever stubble he's growing now, so have fun with Mr. You-Can't-Call-Me-Bald-Anymore. Find him either thinking of shit in front of the campfire or sleeping. You are more than free to try and draw on his face (keyword here: try). ]
[ But really, go off and do your thing. Tell scary stories around the campfire, talk shit under the stars, have boat races in the river, do it. It's a free-for-all. ]

[ Mocing out wasn't the case with him, but he's not really going to share more of that. ]
no subject
Do you remember very much about your daily life from before, then?
no subject
Part of it, just mostly my childhood. [ Which is like a million years ago when it comes to Jake. ] But what about you? What do you remember?
[ Jake isn't super interested but he also doesn't really want to talk about himself some more. Plus, he doesn't know a lot about Sasuke so this is a good time to exchange info, while they're up at buttfuck o'clock in the garden with a mini campfire. No better way than to have story time. ]
no subject
I've got a few memories from when I was little, too. Aside from that... I have a couple of memories from school.
no subject
High school?
[ He's guessing since Sasuke seems to be around that age group. ]
no subject
Also congrats you've pegged his age better than Heiji, Jake.]
That's right. I remember being a first year.
no subject
Which is, what, grade ten?
[ Ukrainian education is pretty different, only eleven grade system... but he at least knows that it's either grade ten or nine when you start high school. ]
no subject
Right. Is the school system a lot different where you're from?
no subject
[ a shrug ] Not exactly sure how it works in Japan, but I know that it's different from the American system: ours goes up eleven grades while over there, it's up to twelve. Beats me why it's like that, though.
no subject
Elementary school is six years, junior high is three, and high school is another three. [Which is why he started at a nice and neat grade ten. Whee!]
You're from America, then?
