Dib sat in his dorm, putting away the engine he’d built in applied studies. The science was old and outdated, but that was all the more reason for him to be proud. It had taken him the better part of the summer to design and construct it, without the benefit of most of his usual futuristic tools. Now, as he filled the trunk with packing peanuts so he could put the machine in, he felt a strange sensation. Dib flopped onto his bed, exhausted after his Ninja-ing class. It felt good to work hard, even if he was somewhat horribly bruised. He liked it a lot here at Fandom. He didn't know what it was about this place, but he felt safer, more secure here. Sure, he could point out wonderful things everywhere: the school taught magic and explosives, the food was meant for consumption by sentient beings, and witches and aliens openly walked the halls without much fuss at all. Yet, back home, his luck was terrible, and it seemed that if something was capable of going wrong, it generally would. Here, things worked. He didn't get hit by seemingly innocuous objects. People did not generally seem to have a straightjacket or other restraining device on hand. "Hello, you've reached Dib's phone.
