Fourth Haiku [Voice]

[koukai_kirai]

To any interested in improving their self-defense skills outside of regular classes: kendo club meets in the gymnasium on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings.

[There's a slight pause, and the click of a lighter.]

At the risk of inviting trouble, I'm entertaining the idea of hosting a history field trip or two over the summer, for those of you who remain on campus. If you have any suggestions that aren't terrible, now's the time to make them.

That's a nasty habit, you know.

[koukai_kirai]

I've smoked longer than anyone here has known me. You're going to bother me about it now?

Re: [video]

[diamonds_forever]

Yeah, it was pretty much an excuse to initiate a conversation without resorting to swords or history.

[video]

[koukai_kirai]

I think I've got a bit of a wider conversational repertoire than that.

Re: [video]

[diamonds_forever]

Oh, I know. But a girl's gotta make her own opening, sometimes.

[video]

[koukai_kirai]

Your initiative is to be commended.

[He's still smoking, with the video camera on now.]

Re: [video]

[diamonds_forever]

I can take that commendation in the form of a date.

[video; private]

[koukai_kirai]

[He looks at her image on the screen for a moment, then switches it to private with a slight sigh.]

I'm afraid you've missed your window for that. Anything else I could offer instead?

Re: [video; private]

[diamonds_forever]

... Good. Honestly, it makes me glad to hear that. I'm guessing you and Souji?

[video; private]

[koukai_kirai]

Who else do you know who can keep me in one place?

Re: [video; private]

[diamonds_forever]

Besides your loyalty to Charles?

... But I do mean it. I'm happy for you both. You do hold up a shield around yourself, but you know it's never worked on me.

[video; private]

[koukai_kirai]

That's a different matter.

And you have a unique advantage in that regard, don't you?

Re: [video; private]

[diamonds_forever]

I try not to abuse the privilege.

[video; private]

[koukai_kirai]

I know you do.

[He appreciates it, though he's hardly the sort to go and say things like that.]

A field trip to where?

text;

[koukai_kirai]

As I said, I'm taking suggestions. Anywhere in New York or the nearer parts of New England could be considered, within reason.

[loveswaffles]

A museum?

text;

[koukai_kirai]

Would you be interested in any in particular?

text;

[loveswaffles]

What about the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Or the Museum of Natural History?

[Yeah, she's actually taking this seriously.]

text;

[koukai_kirai]

Either one would be a possibility.

text;

[loveswaffles]

Cool.

text;

[koukai_kirai]

The Frick Collection, the Noguchi Museum, and the Museum of Mutants and Mutates in District X are a bit smaller, but they've also been suggested.

text;

[loveswaffles]

No objections from me.

text;

[koukai_kirai]

When a decision is reached, I'll announce it in class and on the network.

text;

[loveswaffles]

Right. I'll be looking out for it.

text; Also, OOC, is she in his history class or nay?

[koukai_kirai]

Did I get your name?

text; she could be, if he teaches 10th graders

[loveswaffles]

Raven.

text; He teaches whatever grade level is plot convenient :P

[koukai_kirai]

Right.

[He hasn't talked to her via computer before, he can be forgiven for not recognizing her over text.]

Well, if that's everything.

text; works for me

[loveswaffles]

[And click. This should actually turn out to be an interesting field trip.

Hopefully.]
