So it would appear that the High Inquisitor is no longer gracing us with his presence. An unfortunate event indeed.
It is perhaps a little late to point out that the majority of you acted with absolute disregard for common sense, so I'll spare you the lecture for now. Though I do wonder if etiquette lessons are necessary.

On that note, I will announce that the wedding is now unnecessary and is in fact, cancelled. If you hadn't figured out why by now, there's no hope for you. Of course, we were never intending on allowing it to go so far, that would have been ridiculous.

I'm sure you're all very disappointed.

[If you are Constance, Bro or an Ampora kid he would have found you and talked to you prior to posting it. Whether you want to handwave that or not is up to you, but I'm down with doing action posts here.]

I sure do wanna do an action thread

[plushaeusrumpified]

[So I heard you're looking for Bro Strider. Well, he sure is in his office trying to plan his next homework assignment. This news is sure to brighten up his day considerably, so come hit him with it, bro.]

[wwistful]

[He is indeed, and he knows where to find him too. He knocks on his office door like the motherfucking cheer giver he is. Though he's actually not really sure how he feels about everything right now.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[The knock at the door comes as a slight surprise, given the fact he isn't expecting anyone. He figures it can only be one of a few people, though, so he doesn't really hesitate much.]

Open Sesame.

[His office door sure is charmed to open to that, which it does.]

[wwistful]

[Murdoc squints for a moment. Open sesame? Really? He's giving the door an incredulous look as he steps into the room.]

Workin' hard or hardly workin'? [He asks, shutting the door behind him.]

perma-action;

[quasistellar]

[Constance is in her tower, charting stars and sipping tea. The door's open a crack, but it's better to knock before entering.]

[wwistful]

[Murdoc has poked around the castle for her. He's nervous, really damn nervous, but he knows he owes this to her. Really, he wants to do it as much as he needs to do it.

When he's made his way up to the tower, he shifts his weight on his feet before knocking softly on the door, piping up.]

Constance?

[quasistellar]

[Someone has not heard the news about Snow leaving. As such, the moment she hears his voice, her door's enchantments kick in. The door moves to shut behind him with a lock, a chair pulling up to catch him when he inevitably loses his balance. The shades on the windows are much more careful about closing, as she has equipment there that can be damaged. She mutters a few more defensive spells as she makes her way to the desk - charming the room against outsiders, mostly.]

...that wasn't personal. It's enchanted to do that for a few people. If I told who they were, it wouldn't be nearly so effective. But one must do what they must in difficult times.

So, what do I owe the honor?

[wwistful]

[Murdoc stumbles backward into the chair in surprise and he can't help looking very much bewildered by the situation. As ever, he remains silent until spoken to. He's giving her a wide-eyed stare as he folds his hands over his lap.

He doesn't know quite what he wants to say. He knows he wants to apologise, these past few months have been a bit of a blur to him and he knows damn well he could have handled it better. So he just. Starts from the start of everything.]

Are you aware that the High Inquisitor has returned to the ministry?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I think you're assuming too much if you think students pay attention to the fake marriages of teachers.

I'm glad he's gone though.

[wwistful]

Students aren't the only ones who read the journals. That said, it was sarcasm.

I'm sure you aren't the only one, Miss Everdeen.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Still... I sucks that you had to end up doing that. Acting fake and pretending to be happy.

Think he'll be back?

[wwistful]

I've been through worse, but your concern is appreciated. I didn't think students found it anything but amusing.

At this rate it seems unlikely. If he left due to a promotion his intentions probably lie away from the school. We can only hope that he isn't replaced by someone worse.

[psychiclilies]

Unfortunately, professor, some people are that dumb.

Both on reasons behind the cancellation of your wedding and their lack of common sense.

[wwistful]

Indeed. It's rather disconcerting as a professor. I do wonder if some students missed a few years of education.

[psychiclilies]

I've begun to accept that some are just naturally stupid.

I'm not sure if I should say congratulations or my condolences.

[wwistful]

Sometimes that's the easier route. You're very rarely surprised with a point of view like that.

Both will suffice. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that professor.
On another note, what would you like for Christmas?

filtered

[wwistful]

It's fine.
I don't need anything, Dirk.

[givesyouaboner]

What if I wanted to get you something?

Filter??

[bubblingover]

Can we )(ave a party t)(en? Yaaaay-dad-is-not-getting-married party!! I mean, t)(at's if you guys already organised all t)(e food and everyt)(ing! It would kinda suck if it went to waste!

Filter

[wwistful]

That may be in poor form, Feferi. Miss Matteris left the school. A party seems a little...well...ill timed.

I'm sure no food will go to waste in a school.

[bubblingover]

....I don't t)(ink news around t)(e sc)(ool travels fast enoug)(, cause t)(is is t)(e first time i've )(eard of it!!

Ok, well yea)( party would be the worst timing, I guess we can just give t)(e food to t)(e kic)(en t)(en? Probably will be served at lunc)( at any rate!!

Alt)(oug)(, it must be feel good to not )(ave suc)( stress anymore, for bot)( of you.

ACTION I... WAS GOING TO DO THIS BEFORE I HIATUSED....

[allisnotlost]

[Someone's been doing a lot better since that little stunt happened a few weeks back. He's been really really reallllyy careful to not to get his face anymore screwed up but other than that things are... "normal". Even if he's been kind of slightly weaseling his way out of seeing his dad out of his own shame.

Anyways he's just moseying his way down the halls to grab a bite to eat since he's starrrving.]

tsk tsk

[wwistful]

[No such luck, Eridan. Murdoc might have been a hufflepuff if he weren't so prideful and a number of other Slytherin like things, he is terribly good at finding something when he needs to.

He catches sight of Eridan from behind and is quick to stride up to him, putting a heavy hand on his shoulder as he does.]

Eridan. A word, if you please.

sob

[allisnotlost]

[Drat.

Eridan had actually been surprised to have the hand on his shoulder along with hearing his father's voice, so... he sort of jumped a little when that happened. Fixing his posture as quick as he could, he turned his head around and looked up at him, blinking a few times. ]

Yes, father?
