[A relatively new face to the Institute, Grell's been stuck watching training videos about how to manage academic offices. It's been boring. So boring. Once the videos were over, though, the real work started and the new office lady(?) has realized something very important.]

To those in the student body who are organizing new clubs, first let me applaud you on your enthusiasm. Everyone should learn from your excellent example. Second, please allow me to remind you to turn in your bloody forms. I am not chasing you down because it's absolute murder on the legs to run in heels, and a lady should never be required to run anywhere that doesn't hold handsome rewards for her. If you force me to chase after you, you will not enjoy it. Are we clear? Wonderful. I expect tardy forms in by the end of the week.

As for the staff and faculty, please do me a pretty little favor, hm? I seem to have misplaced a bottle of polish - rose red - when watching one of your classes. If any of you have seen it, do be a dear and return it? I have a special reward to any handsome prince who brings it back to me.

[Which is to say, she left a bottle of polish in most male teachers' classrooms so she has a reason to talk to them all. Huehuehue.]

[ He's seen her watch his class, and he had conducted his Biology tutorial with little nervousness. And of course, he has seen the polish after his routine post-lesson check of the room. ]

Mr Sutcliffe, I believe you left your polish in my classroom yesterday. I am out at the moment, but I can return it to you as soon as I reach the school grounds.

[deadlyjuliet]

Ms. Sutcliffe, if you please. Although I do believe we're beyond last names, aren't we, darling?

[thirdarrow]

[ Ah. It seems Miss Grell is one of those... transgender folk. He had heard of them, but never met one. It's interesting. ]

Of course, Ms. Sutcliffe. My apologies. [ The Japanese convention of always addressing others by surname is a habit he finds difficult to shake off. ]

If you prefer for me to use your first name, I can do so.

[deadlyjuliet]

Better. And yes, please do. If you like I can call you "Taka-chan." Isn't that how you do endearments?

[have a rather unamused redneck. he sees through your tricks Grell.]

Seems to me like you left a couple lyin' around.

[video]

[deadlyjuliet]

[Wow don't spoil her master plan, mr. redneck!!!!!! She spent like... 10 whole minutes on it!!!]

Well, when I lost one bottle, you can't expect me not to buy a few extras to finish my nails, can you?

[video]

[faithaintdoneshit]

Y'call that a few extras?

[sorry but his power is tracking. Which means when you said you needed people to find things he found them. All of them.]

voice;

[deceases]

.. I'm pretty sure no one enjoys anyone chasing after them.

[ JUST AS A HEADS UP.. or maybe it's just that he has actual personal experience with it, okay. After dealing with Megumi he sure doesn't want anyone ever to start following him around again.. ]

So.. I'll turn in mine soon. I guess. [ Look at that conviction.. he's so determined.

Except not. His voice is entirely flat. ]

voice;

[deadlyjuliet]

Oh, but that isn't true. Who doesn't enjoy the thrill of the chase when it comes to love?

[Lots of people, probably. But Grell ignores them entirely. Also, she sees what you just did and she is Not Amused(tm).]

And if you're to lie to me, at least try. As I said, your deadline is Friday.

[deceases]

[ WHAT'S THAT EMPHASIS ON DEAD.. some faculty is just taking this stuff way too seriously, he can't help but wonder if that's some sort of weird adult mutant trait or what.. ]

I said I'll do it soon. [ Hey, no lie about that. And it'll probably be on time, just.. at the very last second possible.. living the risky life, apparently. ] I don't want to risk you chasing me around. I'm only 15.

[ Then maybe you could stand to be a little bit nicer to your elders, Natsuno.. ]

[denialism]

Oh yeah? What's the reward?

[That's the real important issue here. But something else she said manages to sink in.]

Wait... we're supposed to fill out forms if we're starting a club?

video

[deadlyjuliet]

Tsk tsk, now it isn't fair to reveal the prize before the competition, is i--

[Oh my God, Adachi, aren't you a faculty member?? Listen to her sudden sharp intake of breath. Do you hear the exasperation? Oh, yeah. It's there.]

I thought this was explained at the beginning of the year. Yes, you need to fill out forms; a club roster, faculty adviser signatures, description, and room reservation.

video

[denialism]

Sure, they always reveal the prize before the competition, or why would anyone compete?

[He's not faculty, he's staff! And thus totally exempt! (Not really.)]

Hey, it's not my fault if you don't tell security these things. There's never been a security club before. I just threw something together.

[voice]

[musou_tensei]

I'm not turning in a new set of forms. It's not my fault the old ones were probably lost when giant robots destroyed the school.

[voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Augh, that explains so much. And whether it's your fault or not, if you want your club to continue receiving funding, you need to refile.

As an aside, I can assist you with that, for a bit of information on your part.

Re: [voice]

[musou_tensei]

It's not a club, it's an X-team.

What a pain... Whatever, if you're willing to help, it's fine, I guess.

[Video]

[niepokonany]

Wait, there were like, forms?

[Yeah, he still doesn't seem to care. Like, is it really that important? Can't someone do it for him?]

[Video]

[deadlyjuliet]

After years in administrative work, I've learned there are always forms.

Do you have a clubby of some sort that I should be aware of?

[Video]

[niepokonany]

Uuuuuugh, boring.

The Costume Club. Can you like, just do it for me? I don't even know where the forms are or whatever, it'd be way faster.

[And he doesn't want to deal with it.]

[It's hard to mistake Hijikata's voice, even without seeing him.]

Thought that was one of the students'. It's in the confiscated items box in my office.

[Voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

[Unf, deep voices, yes, please.]

As if the students could afford that brand, but thank you for finding it. Shall I drop by after hours?

[Voice]

[koukai_kirai]

Some of the students are well-off, or have terrible budgeting skills.

[Frequently both, because the world isn't fair.]

At any rate, that's fine.

Running in heels is a pain - running in heels from mutant criminals even more so. Not to be recommended.

[Fai smiles brightly and dangles a bottle of nail polish between his fingers. He has noticed that Yuui seems to have found one exactly like it - and that other people seem to have too - but it seems rather impolite to mention it.]

Is this it? It's a lovely hue, provided one has the complexion for it.

Video

[deadlyjuliet]

I've unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on your view - never had the pleasure of running from criminals.

[Usually, they were running from her, but not for a good reason.]

And yes, that is my polish! Can't you tell how it matches me perfectly?

Video

[comparative_insanity]

That's also one of the things that is only worth it if you have a big reward waiting for you.

[Is it possible to look unabashedly admiring and a little bit envious at the same time? Of course it is. Curse his Scandinavian ancestry.]

And I can definitely tell. I don't have to tell you that red is your color, I can see that.
