I hope you students have not yet managed to fatally wound yourselves. We've only been out of school for a week, and I'd hope you lot could survive for a few months without close supervision.

I will not be assigning any summer work, but I do expect for you all to come to school with the proper books and with memories of what you learned the year prior. I'd rather not have to reteach you the basics again.

[The second portion is filtered to just Vriska.]

Unfortunately I will be going on this "retreat" as Dumbledore calls it, and I will be gone for quite a few days. Please refrain from getting into trouble or harm.

It's not.

You're an odd fellow, Kishitani. But let's hope I won't be disappointed in you.

[doctorkishitani]

I think you might be the third person to say that to me. At the very least.

In any case, I'll do my best to avoid disappointing you.

[arachnoble]

Then it must be true.

Maybe you'll be the first.

[doctorkishitani]

Are you sure about that, Professor Matteris?
If I were, in fact, odd, I would probably be aware of it.

But thank-you for your vote of confidence!

Most people don't notice their oddities. They might not be odd to themselves or their families, but they can be bizarre when compared to the rest of socieity. Not to say being odd is a bad thing. I, personally, prefer the company of the strange.

You're welcome, I suppose.
