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...]

no subject
[He sighs and shakes his head. Why does Han have to play with his heart like this?
...well it’s fine. After all, it’s not like he expected anything to come out of it. He doesn’t need anyone after all.]
no subject
[ remember when connor came here to be nice like 10 comments ago its been a long day ]
You do know that, don't you?
no subject
[Well he’s not fond of being insulted.]
...you’ve gotten what you wanted. My foolish good will. Now take it and go, before I change my mind.
[So why does he sound so hurt?]
no subject
[ he doesn’t sound angry, though, he sounds cautious. And like he really does want to help him. ]
I can — I can prove it, if you show me the program he nentioned in the letter.
[ he holds his hand out like he’s tying not to frighten a wild animal. ]
If someone else is lying to you about Han, that’s something you need to know.
no subject
I think... you’ve helped me enough this evening.
[Get too close to the Apprentices and you’ll just get burned. He should know better. He DOES know better.]
Give both Mr. Anderson and the Professor my best. If you’ll excuse me, I have work to do.
no subject
You know he acts differently around you than in his letters — don’t you want to know why? Doesn’t it hurt to have to see that? If I’m wrong, then the worst that happens is that you’ll be proven right.
no subject
[He closes up his computer and starts packing his things.]
I would imagine it’s because it’s much easier to pretend to like someone in writing than it is face to face.
And either way— I don’t care if people lie to me or use me for their own ambitions. That. Is fine by me.
no subject
[ fuck, he's running out of time and this guy is only here twice a week. he runs desperately through his program, over and over again to figure out what he can say or do to try and convince him to just give him five minutes more but how does he even counter that last part what he is he even supposed to do with that. fuck. it's so much harder with everything today; with the way he's been battling himself and his program. it doesn't want to cooperate now that he needs it. shit, of course it doesn't
there's nothing rational or logical he can say so he tries something illogical; ]
Please.
[ desperate -- as if he needs his attention; as if nothing else mattered now except getting those five more moments. after all, hale desperately wants to be wanted, right? even if it's a lie. even if it's for the wrong reasons. ]
no subject
How nice to have someone tell him he’s right for a change.]
...fine. Do as you wish. But you won’t find anything. And when you’ve seen for yourself that I was right, then you can finally be done with me and go.
[He hands over the device that was given to him to install the program.]
no subject
[ he nods over at hale's laptop. but his demeanor is still cautious, still playing to the idea that he's grateful that he has this at all and not trying to take more than he can. ]
no subject
...oh by all means, please. Help yourself.
[He's a bitter child. He'll stand back and let you do as you please with the thing.]
no subject
[ this is not bullshit, it’s true. Regardless of his feelings about Hale, it’s sad to think someone is lying to him when he so desperately needs someone to love him. And also he has enough people upset over his thing with han. He turns the pc back on since Hale had closed it earlier and inserts the device. ]
no subject
no subject
he looks over at oswald, concerned. ]
What happened to it?
no subject
It installed itself and just as quickly disappeared.
[He knows computers well enough. He can even do minor things himself. But this is far beyond his level.]
I had Megumi investigate it herself, and she was just as unable to find anything.
[...which is why he warned you.
God he's tired.]
no subject
[ he removes the device and hands it back to oswald and then closes his laptop for him, sliding it back across the desk. oswald was getting ready to go and connor has clearly lost this battle. he won't overstay his welcome any longer. ]
Given enough time, I could likely locate and explain its effects, but. [ he shakes his head ] You're tired, it's been a long day.
[ for connor too. it's like he'd told han -- he just wants to hibernate. preferably for a long while. ]
I can show you, if you get another.
no subject
[He should probably sleep. And yet he won’t.]
Just as well I don’t have to trouble you again. [...] But if that’s what you wish, I will let you know.
no subject
[ but he looks a little?? hopeful?? ]
I ... that's all I can ask. Thank you.
[ he stands so he can leave and get out of hale's way, at least .]
no subject
[He keeps track of the level at which people hate him and rank them accordingly.]
...I’m not sure where your interest in this subject lies, but if you choose to trouble yourself over it needlessly, I won’t stop you. You’re free to do as you like.
[He’s. Trying to be less of. A trash fire for a moment.]
...enjoy the remainder of your evening.
