This post has the following content warnings:
As they have been every year, the rising juniors of Cavelier Highschool are being provided a new printing of the student handbook, accounting for changing staff and new district bylaws and some new very pointed rules about exactly who is permitted in which bathrooms.
This particular book's cover appears to be a misprint, CMYK all disjoint, but apart from the slightly dizzying misalignment it appears entirely ordinary.
It lands on its appointed desk, and the student passing out books moves on.
When he wakes up, no one in class is wearing a belt. Although, if anyone were wearing a belt before he woke up, would he remember?
(One of the boys is also sporting a floppy skater haircut a little too long for the old rules.)
Really, universe? No manbuns? No little ponytails? His life is a travesty.
He texts Z, phone inside his desk.
hey
hey
tell me how you feel ........ about BELTS
Students should not wear clothes so revealing, or in such a state of disrepair, as to distract from the educational environment. Parents are cautioned that halter tops, fish-net type shirts, bare midriff tops, tops or dresses with extreme necklines, and dresses with high slits, belts, and extremely tight pants tend to distract from the educational setting and are not permitted.
To Z:
hey
hey
tell me how you feel ... about BELTS

i like gothy ones, they hold my pants up
you can hit people with them which is cool

Possession and Use of Personal Telecommunications Devices, Including Cell Phones, and Other Electronic Devices
The district permits students to possess and use personal cell phones for safety purposes; however, these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day, including during all testing, unless they are being used for approved instructional purposes. [For graphing calculator applications on computing devices, see Textbooks, Electronic Textbooks, Technological Equipment, and Other Instructional Materials on page 50.]
...wait, no. Better.

Ha. Take that.
In short order, Kamil gets a selfie.
Z’s hair is, in fact, shaved entirely on one side, the rest pulled into a messy ponytail behind him. He still has the extra piercings.
I forgive my magic book for the loading bars
no I don't
but I'm thinking about it
Hmmmm. He flips the book open again, and gets to work on the electronic devices policy.
A student must have approval to possess other personal telecommunications devices such as laptops, tablets, or other portable computers ansibles.
If he's already got time travel, why not faster-than-light communication? For that matter...
The use of cell phones or any device capable of capturing images personal teleporters is strictly prohibited in locker rooms or restroom areas while at school or at a school-related or school-sponsored event.
What else does Star Trek have to suggest.
If a student uses a telecommunications device replicator without authorization during the school day, the device will be confiscated. The student/parent may pick up the confiscated telecommunications device replicator from the principal’s office for a fee of $15.
This is fun.
Confiscated telecommunications devices that are not retrieved by the student or the student’s parent pet robo-dog will be disposed of after the notice required by law. [See policy FNCE for more information.]
Okay, okay, great power, great responsibility, he's being good.
...okay, just one irresponsible one.
Students must obtain prior approval to use personal telecommunications or other personal electronic devices vibrators for instructional purposes while on campus. Students must also sign a user agreement that contains applicable rules for use (separate from this handbook).
Goddammit his narcolepsy isn't usually this bad ohhhhh. Oh okay that's probably a magic thing isn't it. That would make sense.
Zzz.
When Camillo wakes up, a few minutes later, there are no immediately obvious changes. No robo-dogs patrolling the classroom, at least.
