[First rule of cutting classes: Don't post on the school network that you're cutting classes.
No one's told Gilbert that one apparently, however, because here he is well into the morning - it's around second or third period - still in bed and capturing video of himself on his school-provided laptop. With just a long night-shirt draping off him still, he's nestled himself against the headboard and pillows with a book on Renaissance art and a small bowl of sliced fruit he's nibbling from.
After the strain that the riots put on his empathic powers, he'd been given nearly a week of recovery time...and now that's more than come and gone, and he's decided simply not to go back.]
It must be so tedious - burning through all your time in classes here, studying the same things a human school would be making you learn. It's a marvelous sham, isn't it? Do this work for a diploma so you can attend university, find a career, "become a member of society..."
As if society is going to want us any more then than it does now! But you can guess what the real lesson is, can't you?
[The smile he's turning on the camera now can really only be described as "flirtatious."]
This entire school is just one long class in how to pretend. How to play along and make nice for the humans, like we're all cats they've de-clawed. I hope you all have a lovely afternoon, sitting and listening to that. [He kicks back on the bed then, looking so comfortable it's almost a sin.]
I'll be right here.

Perhaps you're just oversensitive?
[It's a distinct possibility that the sympathetic smile he's put on now is not all that earnest.]
no subject
[Yeah, he's not all that convinced. And considering how hard he's been working to try and not be a dropout delinquent any more? Personal's putting it mildly.]
Whatever! But ya really think that just saying "don't be in class 'cause it's boring and humans like it" is some kinda big... whaddya call it, mission statement? Like it's gonna convince anyone?
no subject
[Which - in a rare feat for Gilbert - isn't meant as misdirection. Persuasion isn't what he's about. If Kanji can't see what's already so obvious, it's just proof that he's not to be trusted. Already domesticated, as it were.]
I only wondered whether anyone else felt the same. You don't, and you can keep playing pet for the humans forever, for all I care.
no subject
And you can keep being mister high-'n-mighty for all I care too. I ask ya a question, and all I get is you being a smug asshole?
Screw that. I ain't gonna waste either of our time any more.
[...yeah, he's done with this crap. Call ended.]
