Second Haiku [Video]

[koukai_kirai]

This is a reminder, to which you're in no way entitled, that midterms are coming up for those of you in middle and high school, and finals for the college students. Your papers are due on the 19th, before midnight.

Anyone who thinks they can get away with padding their essays, increasing the font size or margins, or copying half the damn thing directly from the textbook needs to be in someone else's class. And if a pyrokinetic burned your homework, either print out a new copy or show me the melted husk of the computer it was on.

...If anyone has seen a green notebook, return it immediately.

in before a rich student buys a laptop and melts it

[koukai_kirai]

That's when I tell them they should have backed it up properly. There's no excuse, with cloud storage.

[friendofdorothy]

I hope this happens. Schadenfreude is a wonderful feeling.

[koukai_kirai]

Knowing some students, it's a matter of time.

[Souji has both hands clapped over his mouth, clearly trying to stifle a laugh.]

Is- Is it that notebook?

[koukai_kirai]

[UGH, fuck his life.]

...It might be.

[spes_phthisica]

[Stifled or not, Souji still makes no attempt at hiding that he is, in fact, laughing at Hijikata. Like not even a bit.]

W-well- Well, at least it's in Jalanese? I mean, since it's private and all. Not everyone will be able to read it... [Just the not inconsiderable number of Japanese students / teachers.]

[Souji. Souji please. Souji, can you not?]

Comforting.

You didn't take it again, did you?

[...It would not surprise him in the slightest.]

Re: Video;

[spes_phthisica]

[Nope, sorry, still giggling like a child, although he looks a bit puzzled.]

Again?

[It's true that he's taken it to read - and fondly stifle smiles - a couple of times, and he even snatched it out of Hijikata's hands the first time, but he's never actually taken it away from him. He can't remember-

Ah.]

No~, not me this time. You mean that's something I used to do?

Video; I'm not awake, shhhhhh

[koukai_kirai]

. . .

[Usually, he'd look a little guilty about reminding Souji about his life before the incident. This time, he just looks a little embarrassed and wary, like he's concerned Souji's going to get ideas.]

...It's been known to happen.

[iaijutsu]

I suspect there may be some students who aren't aware, but increasing the punctuation size only is in fact noticeable if one cares to look for it.

[Less obvious than increasing the font size across the board, sure, but.]

[koukai_kirai]

And they're in for a sad surprise if they think I won't be looking.

[iaijutsu]

I can't imagine anyone would misjudge you that easily, sir.

[It's. Not exactly a secret that Hijikata is Serious Business.]

[koukai_kirai]

You'd be surprised how slow on the uptake some people are.

[iaijutsu]

I suppose so.

["Slow" seems such a gentle way of putting what can only be willfully delusional, as far as Saitou's concerned.]

[tatatarata]

There are better excuses than a pyrokinetic for not having your homework...like a technopath.

[Says a technopath. Not that she actually has any meddling planned.]

[koukai_kirai]

Fortunately for the technopaths, most of the students lazy enough to try that kind of excuse are too lazy to think it through that far.

[tatatarata]

You'd think it'd be common sense.

Makes my life easier, though. I don't really need the accusations.

[koukai_kirai]

"Common" is something of a misnomer.

[seduceme]

Is there a reward for the notebook~?

[koukai_kirai]

Depending on what kind of reward you want, and with a few conditions, there might be.

[seduceme]

Sounds tempting.

[koukai_kirai]

I'm sure I could find a way to make it worth your while.

The conditions are as follows:

1. It's the notebook I'm looking for, not just "a green notebook."
2. I have no reason to suspect that you stole it yourself.
3. You accept that there will be dire consequences if you make copies for any purpose.

[seduceme]

Do I need to sign a form somewhere?

Email - to all students , with this video embedded.

[tiamaris]

[Well, he needed more clothing...]

To all students, in exchange for one pair of pants, one shirt, and something to eat, I will melt your computer. Bring it, the clothes, and the food to First floor, room four, boys dorm. Ask for Tiamaris.
