I suppose now is as good a time as any to formally apologise for my behaviour under the influence of the unexplained events. We all know that it's an entirely blameless situation and that nothing can be done, so, any further mentions of the situation involving myself in particular may be reason enough for me to remove points. Let's not be counter productive about this, let's just move on from it.

This journal is also an opportunity to share some more positive news regarding Slytherin and Ravenclaw students taking my class. I have acquired a boggart and there will be a practical class in the next few weeks. As such, any concerns should be brought to me. However, if you skip without my consent I will make you regret it every day for the rest of your school life. Thank you.

Now, an assignment for all of you in my class, though the lengths will vary. I want you to consider the events of the previous days and then think about the risks and consequences of uncontrolled magic, even if it's not necessarily Dark Arts, it's still a situation one must understand and prepare for. I want you to take a long thought about why we have rules and regulations to adhere to and how they benefit us.
First to Third years I want to see at least three good paragraphs. Fourth to Fifth should write at least five. Sixth to Seventh I expect a convincing, well thought out essay with an argument for your opinion. The length is up to you.

I will finish with a friendly reminder that you may not use my situation as an example in your analysis unless you're particularly interested in failure.

[Private to Tulio]
15 points to Slytherin for impressive negotiation skills.

[[ooc: Homework goes HERE also Murdoc was a pirate for the wish event don't judge him. There will be a boggart log up in about two weeks!]]

Emotion is difficult to convey over text, I suppose.

[Fuck. Stop that.]

I thought as much. I told you, teenagers are different. If they find out we want them to be friends, they'll do anything in their power to repulse each other. And what about the other five? Do we want those ones to get along too?

Yes. Yes it is. It makes me wonder why the hell we're not using the voice option.

Oh right because you can't scribble things out in voice. What's that thingy?

We have too many goddamn kids.

I still feel strange talking to a book.

It's an inksplotch.

You don't. I do. Four is far too many for an unmarried man.

Hold on, I can fix that.

[After a few seconds, he puts a picture of himself onto the page.]

There, now it's like you're talking to the real deal.

And that doesn't look like an ordinary inkblot.

Also can I ask a question? It's a question that might come off like I'm being a complete and total douchebag, but I swear it's a legit question.

That really....doesn't help at all.

[It's a nice picture though. Huh. The real deal is much better, but he's not going to think about that.]

I wasn't aware that you were an expert on inkblots.

You can ask a question, I can't promise I'll answer it.

Welp. I tried.

Didn't you know I'm an inkblotologist?

Alright, so the question is... How is it that I've probably had sex with like. God, I don't even know. Definitely over a hundred people. And yet I only have two kids that are actually from my balls?

[There was probably a better way to phrase the last part.]

But then there's you, who doesn't really seem to have a whole bunch of sex. And you have four. I just don't get it.

Right.

That's an odd question. I had my first, Cronus with my wife. Then, I was a horrible, disgusting person and I committed infidelity with another woman, which gave me Feferi and Meenah. Who I didn't know about until now, mind you. Then Catherine wanted a second child, so we had Eridan.

In short, life isn't fair.

[Inkblots.

Oh. That really... wasn't what he was expecting, to be honest. And he definitely feels bad for asking and making Murdoc talk about that shit.]

I just did that thing where I shove my entire foot in my mouth.

I'm sorry.

It's not as if I regret having any of them, even if I don't know the twins very well. So, it doesn't matter.

Edited 2012-10-03 10:23 (UTC)

I was mostly apologizing for asking the way I did, since I wasn't... expecting that. I figured you wouldn't regret it, considering they're your kids. I'd judge you pretty damn hard if you did regret it.

What else would you expect?
Of course. I love them, even if they're idiots.

... I dunno, now that I think about it. What can I say, I'm a dumbass sometimes.

I know you do. Just be sure to remind them of that every now and then. I never realized how important it is to tell them until just recently.

Sometimes. Of course.

Remind them that I love them or remind them that they're idiots? I do both, though I haven't gotten much of a response from Cronus these days.

[He swears to god if he lost that fucking owl...]

I'm not sure how to feel about what you're implying.

I definitely think you should try and do one more than the other.

So where even is this other kid of yours? You got pretty much all of them at Hogwarts except him. What's the deal?

Feel good.

He's studying in Greece of his own volition. He started school before Eridan and didn't seem particularly interested in changing schools, even when I started teaching.

He's his own person with his own...interests. Though I do miss him on occasion.

You want me to feel good about the fact you think I'm a dumbass all the time?
Seems legit.

Those are definitely the words of a dad who disapproves of said interests.

Don't feel too poorly, it's endearing. Sometimes.

I don't, no, but I try not to bother him about it.

[Liar.]
