Eleventh Duty

[mybrotherskeeper]

As I'm sure you're all aware, we have missed the last Wednesday of class. I do not consider this acceptable in the slightest.

To make up for lost time, there will be class on Sunday. To be sure that you come, there will be a test on Monday to cover the material.

[Private; unhackable]
Make me miss April Fools, will you, Memento Eden? Better late than never.

((No, there's no class and no test on Monday. So if anyone does come to class, Gaignun will be kicking back with cake and various assortments of snacks. Yes, he'll share. Mods, please deduct $50 for his impromptu food, utensils, and dickery.))

That's a bit harsh, isn't it? I imagine whatever may have happened on Wednesday is already punishment enough for the kiddies.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Nonsense. A good education is what they need more than anything.

[Filtered]
Besides, if any of them show up, I'll be pretty surprised myself. Want some cake?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

[filtered]
Wha? Cake? . . . Quite considerate of you, thanks.

Are you playing a joke? I suppose they could use some cheering up after all of this murder nonsense and the like.

There's something of an unofficial holiday where I'm from known as April Fool's. I like to have a bit of fun with it.

If anything else, they'll be immensely relieved when the pop quiz on Monday turns out to be a hoax.

April Fools . . . A holiday?

I've been told that many events occur around 'Earth' holidays. What happened on Wednesday wouldn't happen to be something along those lines?

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

It could have been the island playing a trick on us, yes.

Earth, though. I've never heard of an Earth.

Re: [Filtered]

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Huh. Perhaps some holidays are celebrated across many worlds.

Where would you happen to be from?

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

I don't recall where I was from, but the only planet name that sticks to me is one named Miltia.

Re: [Filtered]

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Huh. I'll do some digging in the library. See if I can find out anything. Tch. Would you believe I've been here three months without anything at all yet?

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

I can understand that. It's been a while for many people, I think. Almost as if there are dry and busy seasons for this.

If you're going to do that on my behalf, first you have my thanks, and second, you might also want to try the Kukai Foundation. Chances are you'll have better luck finding that.

Re: [Filtered]

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Not at all. There's little else to do here than research. Kukai Foundation . . . I expect you were closely associated with it, Mr. Gaignun Kukai?

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

It was a company I owned, and a fairly substantial one at that. I checked the library before I was employed, but found nothing.

Re: [Filtered]

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Oho! A company you owned . . . You must've been quite the important man. What sort of business did you deal with?

((Apologies for taking forever to tag back tonight. =X Trying to multitask.))

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

It seemed to be more of a collection or an assimilation of smaller businesses, at least for the parts I recall. There was likely an overarching purpose, but I can't remember as it stands.

You can't be serious.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I am.

2/2 [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Serious enough to give cake to anyone dedicated enough to come to class. Stop on by, it's good stuff.

[Filtered]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

You are really something else.

What about the kids that don't show up? Are you still gonna give them a test on Monday?

[Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

If that isn't a great April Fool's joke, I don't know what is.

[Filtered]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

*can't help laughing*

Wow. And you keep telling me that I mess with my students too much!

[Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

It was the perfect excuse!

[Filtered]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

I'm a little upset that I didn't think of this first!

[Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Come on by the school, have some cake. I expect the only ones to even consider showing up are the ones like Maka and Haruhi.

[Filtered]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

You don't have to tell me twice! I'll be right there!

*a few minutes later*

I hope you saved some cake for me!

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

[Gaignun has his feet kicked up on the desk with a slice of cake on a paper plate in his lap.]

Think I could down an entire cake by myself?

Re: [Filtered]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

You never know.

[Jr. takes a slice for himself and sits down at one of the desks in the front.]

You think anyone else is actually gonna show up?

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope so. What good is a prank nobody falls for?

Even if just one person is taken in, I'll be pleased.

Re: [Filtered]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

This is great. Looks like I'm finally starting to rub off on you, huh?

Re: [Filtered]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Ha! Quite possibly.

If only it went in reverse as well.

Re: [Filtered]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean? I dressed nice for the ball, didn't I?

[slammuraiblue.livejournal.com]

...You have got to be friggin' kidding me.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

That would be your choice, Neku. Hope you do well enough to warrant skipping.

[slammuraiblue.livejournal.com]

...

*sigh*

*Comes, albeit reluctantly*

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

[And he's got his feet kicked up on the desk like he owns the place. On the front desk, there is a chocolate cake, and a few of the student desks have various snacks and drinks.]

Oh right, that whole April Fools' bit. Did I forget that?

Help yourself to whatever you feel like eating.

[slammuraiblue.livejournal.com]

...I hate you so much.

*Still, it would be a shame to leave all that food, particularly the cake, so he'll be trying some of that*

[chop-meister.livejournal.com]

[Aaaand Maka arrives promptly and on time on Sunday. What else do you expect?]

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

[And Gaignun was literally timing her.]

First to show as usual. Although I'm curious, does your world have a holiday called April Fools'?
