ANNOUNCEMENT 009

[intercom_voice]

[The intercom screeches to life as it does, and the woman speaking over it is as condescending and husky-voiced as always.]

Well hello, my petulant pupils! It seems we have some new blood coming in through our welcoming double doors~ Do treat them nicely, won't you? You wouldn't want to make any enemies in this place, now would you?

After all, the school year is quite long, and I have oh-so-many lessons planned for the lot of you! But fret not, the newly opened game rooms in the East Wing should give you something to relax with. After all, study is good for the mind, but all work and no play makes me precious students dull witted and rife with cabin fever.

[Just as he knew where to find her, she knew he was coming. She's cradling a book on artists through the ages at the moment and directs a glance over in his direction briefly. At least she sounds the same as ever.]

I never thought you the sort for books and learning. You surprise me to find you here. The pact never lies though, does it.

[She flips a page and adds in amusement.]

These are so much more entertaining when they can be read.

[The dragon opens an eye, settling it on the woman. ... Mmm? Somethings different with this one.]

Yes?

[roadroller]

....

[RIN DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS EXPECTING

BUT THAT WAS NOT IT]

[moderndaydragon]

[All dragon all day, baby.]

[moderndaydragon]

Sorry. I'm just not used to seeing other dragons. Are you new here?

[intercom_voice]

Tsk tsk... Then you'd better start learning, hadn't you? You've got a lot of work to catch up on.

[intercom_voice]

My, my, didn't anyone ever tell you about the separation between business and private life?

I'm quite sure I don't know what you mean.

[onethirdthesoul]

...Nothing, I'm fine!

[He gestures vaguely towards her, smiling a little hesitantly.] I was more concerned about you, Miss.

[intercom_voice]

I'm an educator, not a psychic.

[But she'll let him go on...]

Actually, you'll do plenty of learning in the art of self defense, which is a highly under taught and under rated class in schools around the globe.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

So this is some kind of social experiment, isn't it?

[wannabeaboy]

Ooh! Fine then! I'll play along... I'll be the gosh-darn best student AND teacher this campus has ever seen!

And if I do, would you let me go home?

[intercom_voice]

[Good boy. Very good boy!]

Finish your studies and then we'll see about graduation. You can't put the cart before the horse when it comes to education!

[intercom_voice]

Sorry, what was that? I can't hear you, I'm blind.

[wannabeaboy]

[grrrr >:c His voice sounds forcefully chipper but full of I'm-going-to-show-you! attitude.]

On the contrary, madame! I'm just trying to keep some end goals in mind! The joy of education may be a reward in itself, but the final grade is always good incentive!

[intercom_voice]

[Oh my, aren't you a model student?]

What a good student you are... Keep that attitude up and you'll be head boy before you know it.

[wannabeaboy]

....What's "head boy"?

[His previous fire is suddenly burnt out by pure curiosity. You're speaking his language, mysterious voice.]

[intercom_voice]

[Tut tut...] You have a bounteous library to look it up in, don't you? But just this once, I'll tell you. The head boy is the top male student of any school, second only to the teachers and the principal themselves.

[wannabeaboy]

..What? I-I didn't know such a thing existed!

[Now look what you've done! He's totally having a dream sequence about it.]

Head boy, huh..? Yeah... Yeah, I can do that, too!

[intercom_voice]

[Attaboy.]

Now, if that's all, I've got a lot of work to do, and you should get back to your studies!

[wannabeaboy]

I will! ..But I'll have you know that it's only because I want to!

[fluffydeathdealer]

. . .

Very funny! Keep laughing it up!

[intercom_voice]

I'm quite sure I'm not laughing! Maybe you should get your ears cleaned?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Maybe you should get a damn hobby that doesn't involve playing a life simulator with us as the playing pieces.

[redsanctus]

[A groan? That definitely gets his attention (unfortunately), so he takes a glance over his shoulder to see her.]

You do know it's rude to interrupt a prayer, right?

[redsanctus]

Mm, so it seems. But, even the smallest of things are to be thanked for.

[Seems like he's done with his prayer, so Shirou turns towards her, with his left arm in a sweeping gesture of welcome.]

Were you intending to use this room? I apologize if my presence here is getting in your way, then.
