I'm fine; apologies for the inconvenience. Yes, Inoue-san said you had it. When are you free? I'll keep an eye out for you.

oh good I'm glad. we were werried

I'm going to meet some one for lunch but maybe after?

[repelling]

There wasn't any need for that. I regret if you wasted time.

Kratos-san See you then.

[redcladidealist]

it's okay. it worked out for me to, I got to copy those maps in your jurnal.

[He squints as he tries to read that struck out part. Is it his imagination or did Ishida just write Kratos's name?]

what about Kratos?

Did you notice the maps on the board today? I only had the first floor, and that incomplete. The maps posted need more labeling as well, but it's a start.

[ oops. A few pen taps. ]

You'll be lunching with him, correct?

[redcladidealist]

I only saw them a minute ago. I'm still glad I got a head start with your maps so I got plenty of time to get it righte.

Yeah. How'd you guess?

[There's a slight shift in his handwriting, the letters not quite as sloppy, as though he's taking more care writing them. Look, he even took the time to capitalize things! He must really want an answer to this.]

[repelling]

[ Noted and appreciated, so he almost, almost resists the urge to strike out the excess "e" ending "righte". It's only that... after having been so particular before this, he can't let that escape and thus be interpreted as correct. ]

Mine aren't much to talk about, given that they are mostly what can be observed while shuffling around during the day.

[ A number of pen taps. It isn't his business to expand, if this line of questioning goes any farther; why hadn't he sufficiently scribbled out the name? Sloppy. ]

I try to read everything on the board. He made two posts today; I'm not sure why he bothered putting them so far apart if he was going to sign both of them.

HOLY SHIT, YOU'RE ALIVE.

[repelling]

No, I died. I am clearly a ghost.

[thisisyourgod]

I KNOW YOU'RE JOKING, BUT THIS IS NOT AN IMPOSSIBILITY WHERE I COME FROM SO MY SURPRISE WOULD BE LIMITED.

[repelling]

Likewise.

[ Pen taps. ]

Thank you.

[thisisyourgod]

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THANKING ME FOR

YOU'RE WELCOME. I GUESS.

YOUR FRIENDS ARE IDIOTS, THOUGH.

[repelling]

They aren't my fr

He isn't

[ tap tap tap and now this note is a mess, so ]

[repelling]

They might not have been so bad if you'd stuck to the story.

[redcladidealist]

HEY!

I'm just as smart as you!

[faeth]

Is "idiot" better or worse than a "nooksniffer"?

[ ... also if this is permitted

the longer he looked at Irving-san's note the more compelled he felt, thus the original note may look like this:

[redcladidealist]

[...why does his note suddenly look like Professor Sage just graded it?

Wait...]

proffessor?

[repelling]

[ ]

Sadly, no. I am unsure as to whether I'm relieved or discouraged to learn that you had one.

[redcladidealist]

what's that suposed to mean?

and why are you doing that? it's not like this is a paper you have to grade or some thing

[repelling]

[ ]

I wonder?

I'm doing it because your errors are so egregious and sloppy that they threaten my very sanity. Or, if a more generous answer appeals, to educate. Take advantage of the free lesson.

[redcladidealist]

come on I don't need to study school stuff here! isnt there more important things to worry about?

[repelling]

[ ]

Absolutely there are. However,

- It only takes about two seconds to correct.

- Are you implying that you are able to make such use of your time during the day that you cannot possibly spare a minute's thought for the correctness of your writing? You really must allow me to pick your brain with regards to the masterful plans and deductions you have surely devised. I do apologize for wasting the time of such an avant garde genius. Dizzying intellects such as yours mustn't be limited by such petty concerns as punctuation!

- Given the high percentage of youths here without any sort of educational program offered, I cannot help but feel any attention given to that area on the part of the patients should be embraced.

[faeth]

Don't let him get to you! I think he's experiencing withdrawal symptoms... He's a student council president, you see.

[forsworn]

[not here but

WHY.

THIS WHOLE POST.

He is seriously staring at the board and resisting the urge to hit his head repeatedly against a wall.]
