First beat

[toocoolforthis]

Well, I can't say I've ever been this late to school before.
Unfortunately, I can't claim to be awesome enough to have played hooky for half a year.
Maybe next year.
In the meantime, I'm back.
I'm sure you're all either completely ecstatic or completely disgusted, so please, contain your looks of horror and/or joy.
A simple "Sup, Dirk" will suffice.

Them's fightin' words. Too bad I don't feel much like a fight right now.

[Or... ever, considering he's still freaked out from the incident with Dave on the Astronomy tower, even though that happened several months ago.]

Yeah, let's keep the detentions to a minimum for now.

They make potions for that, y'know.

[toocoolforthis]

You?
Not feeling like fighting?
Since when were you ever anything other than 100% into the opportunity to kick our asses into next Tuesday?

For now, he says, as though I can't continue it indefinitely.

And I'll take them if I ever actually need them.

Since I dunno Dirk. Why the hell does it matter so much?

I didn't mean to imply that, but now it's gonna look real bad on you if you slip up and do end up gettin a detention.

Sounds to me like you do kinda need them.

[toocoolforthis]

Since that's not like you, last time I checked.
It's like you're getting sentimental in your old age.

All the more reason for me not to slip up.

How the hell does it sound like that?

[plushaeusrumpified]

You make it sound like it would be a bad thing if I was.

It sounds like that because you actually need sleep. I'm not gonna make you take them and you're free to carry on with your wacko schedule, but I'm just saying. It'd probably do you some good to look into the potion.

I'm wondering how you managed to seem about twenty years older in the span of half a year, is all.

Whatever you say, but I can take care of myself.

[In other words, no, he's probably not going to be looking into it.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

What can I say, teaching is just full of wisdom. It really fucking ages you.

Alright, yeah, go ahead and get your independent ass down to the grounds so we can go.

[toocoolforthis]

I'll keep looking for the gray hairs.

Calm your tits, I'll be right there.
