Yo, it's been entirely too long since you all got a real homework assignment. Not something like those little study assignments I've been giving you. It's about time for another one of the real deals.

Since you're all on the same level, this goes to everyone. You've been studying basic phrases in Mermish, right? So it's time to put those to use. I want everyone to start inco

[But then the message stops for a few long moments. Ink drips onto the page as if he's dropped his quill. It's a while before anything more than inksplatters appears.]

Alright, that was weird! I just had like, a massive head rush or something. I don't remember coming into this room! And I don't even know whose journal this is, but I guess I got a teacher's journal by accident? I don't even know. But whatever. I hope they don't mind me using it, because I can't find my own.

This guy writes a lot of weird things.

Oh, I probably shouldn't be reading this, should I? Sorry! Please don't give me detention. I'm just kinda confused, I wasn't thinking. I'll pretend I didn't read anything.

So anyway, I've been here a few months now and weird things are still happening. Like me waking up in this room randomly, for example. Is that normal? Should I see a doctor? I know this place is magical, but still it's really freaking weird.

I should probably get out of here now that I think about it. I don't wanna be caught in some teacher's office without permission...

Also does anyone have any ink I can borrow? Because this black is really boring.

[So yeah, Bro is back to being a first year in the middle of writing a homework assignment and is kinda confused. On an OOC note, responses will come from brohoof]

Uncle Dirk?
Are you okay?

[brohoof]

Why are you calling me uncle?

[givesyouaboner]

Because you're my uncle?

[brohoof]

Is there another Dirk in this castle somehow? Because I think you might have me mixed up with somebody else. I definite ain't your uncle. I don't think that's even possible!

[givesyouaboner]

The other Dirk in the castle would be me. And if you're not him, you need to take a step back because that's his journal.
That's definitely his writing at the beginning.

[brohoof]

You're Dirk, too? That's so weird. Cool, I guess, but still weird.
But does that mean there's three Dirks in the castle? Because I'm still Dirk, too! And I didn't mean to steal his journal. It just kinda happened.

_{[Dirk is having his doubts about this.]}

"Weird" would be an apt term. It's not exactly a common name in the UK, as far as I'm aware.
What I find odd is someone else named Dirk intercepting my uncle's journal while he was writing in it.
Considering this is a magic school, and judging at the state of some of the journal entries I'm seeing, I feel compelled to ask:
What is your surname?
