The crowd starts murmuring things about the rock, like “nice, cool, wow.” Shadow stays silent but looks at it intently. Just then, Poppy comes out of a nearby door and shouts “Pizza’s here!”
Later, everyone is in another room eating pizza. Downlow and Doc sit at a table next to each other.
Downlow says, “When are you gonna present this?”
Doc replies, “I don’t know. But I need to be prepared!”
Downlow looks amazed and says, “Woah.”
Doc then says, “The scientific community won’t let me join them just yet. They won’t listen until I get “credentials” like a diploma or something. But who needs them. I can do it myself!”
This may sound like she's being lazy, but unfortunately here in the United States college is expen$ive. And considering that most scholarships (at least the ones I know of) are for high school students immediately entering college, it's kinda rough to get higher education if you're born as a mature, artificial lifeform who normally would not be enrolling into a public school full of children first :P
Omg XD! That would've been hilarious and I now wish I planned that out beforehand, but unfortunately Confess the Truth ends at night and Where Does Power Come From? starts in the morning, so canonically they have to be on separate days qwq
But yknow it's possible that right after the case they agreed to meet up the next day :P
