Office Hours

[Compared to the other two, Oswald is much more difficult to get time with. He only appears on school grounds on Tuesdays and Sundays.

Nonetheless if you're determined... he can be found. Most of that time is spent hovering around the Faculty Office. It's almost like the Entrance Exam made him anxious of just walking around freely or something...]

[ oh, good, that makes two of them. ]

Yeah, well you might wanna check your network for leaks, Hale. Because you got one. And it's somebody who can make texts fucking disappear after they sent 'em, so yeah, of course they can get into your damn network.

[adminus]

That simply isn’t possible— you know what it’s like out there. It’s not safe outside. Who would infiltrate this school of all things just to send a foolish text message?!

...nonetheless I have no choice. I will look into it.

[donotlick]

Thanks. Seriously. I'm getting mixed signals here.

[ On one hand, the murder guy says "you're cool, it's fine" and on the other, some freak is sending him threatening texts. Why is this his life. ]

And about that—Does Han know about that? Because he said that was wrong. Like, he doesn't remember whatever caused your world to get fucked up. He thinks Canada's like. Peachy.

[adminus]

But I would be careful around Han if I were you. This ‘H’ told me not only that he would have had you dead today, but also about his little rondevouz with Connor. If it truly isn’t Han, of which I’m not sure, he is aware of things that very few people could know.

[Look at him assuming you know Han and Connor did a thing.]

Him being here doesn’t mean he came from here. You aren’t all from this world either. It goes without saying that not all the staff may be either.

[donotlick]

Fucking creepy.

[ Yeah, that's all he's saying about that. The less is said the better! ]

It sure didn't sound like Han -- that guy couldn't write a threatening text if it bumped into him and apologized.

[ Get it, because he's so Canadian. ]

But yeah, that's what I figured, what with Megumi's take on it corroborating yours. Han doesn't remember being from somewhere else, though. That's what gets me. I know you did some kind of memory-whammy on us, but doing that to you own staff? That's messed up, dude.

[adminus]

...that sounds true. I will... have to speak with Han myself. If someone has broken in, he would know best how to tell.

[He’s. Incredibly troubled. About all this. And on top of that—]

...I’ll correct you now, whether you choose to believe me or not— what happened to your memories was not intentional, though it may just be an effect of coming here. I’m speaking with the Headmaster on that as well.

[donotlick]

Yeah, well, good luck.

[ good. be troubled, todd. ]

"Effect of coming here," meaning what? Cause it sounds pretty damn convenient to me.

[adminus]

[Thanks bro.]

As in-- "an unplanned medical phenomenon". Which is certainly convenient, because I wanted to look for a background in high science and medicine.

[donotlick]

[ You're welcome, Toddswald. ]

So it wasn't supposed to mess with our brains? What about Connor -- he's not even organic, how'd they fuck that up?

[adminus]

When I complete medical school and my studies of unknown time and space maladies I will let you know.

[AKA “how the fuck should I know???”]

[donotlick]

[ Hank rolls his eyes. Jesus christ, this dude's sass. (Thanks, he hates it.) ]

Cool. Good to know you're as clueless as we are, even though you're running this thing.

[adminus]

I’m glad you had such high expectations of me, but I might remind you that this is a crisis situation. I’m only doing what I can.

[donotlick]

I mean, I figured you would kill me for breaking the rules, so yeah. I guess I didn't know you at all.

[ There you go, he's throwing you a bone. Please don't kill him. ]

[adminus]

[It’s sad that this is something he can laugh at.]

Your concerns were not without merit. But I assure you it’s in my best interest that you all prove yourselves worthy of passing. I’d be happier if none of you died.

[donotlick]

[ They even have a similar sense of humor, fuck. ]

Right, you're trying to weed out people, so it's only folks who won't kill.

[ Megumi said that, if you're curious, Hale. ]

Can't you just disqualify people then? Like, we got that creepy clown, and that Henry guy.

...And doesn't that technically mean you'd fail your own 'course'?

[adminus]

Most certainly. I've made a lot of very terrible choices for the sake of my goals, I won't deny it. None of the Apprentices you list are without potential.

[donotlick]

[ nottodishittosagain.jpg ]

Okay, but the clown is in a cult. I'm pretty sure he kills people.

Consider this a request from us "sensible" apprentices: get rid of the damn clown.

[ Hank, why do you hate clowns so much. ]

[adminus]

...I will discuss it with the Headmaster. I'm not sure what he'll say, but for your sake I will make the request.

[donotlick]

Thanks. Can't tell if you'll actually do it or if you're just fucking with me, but it makes me feel all warm inside that you're listening.

[ protip: it doesn't. ]
