[You may want to cover your ears for this one, folks. Professor Constance Peixes is angry. She is very angry. She hasn't sent a Howler, but this might as well be one going out to the entire faculty and student body.]

I am absolutely appalled at the degree of inappropriate subject matter that our students are currently discussing in their journals. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, and particularly so for discussing it with incoming first-years. Mr. Makara and Mr. Kishitani, you both have a month's detention, beginning on the first day of fall term. Mr. Makara, for writing the entry in question, and Mr. Kishitani, for encouraging the discussion, particularly among the younger students.

What in Merlin's name were you thinking? This isn't a 'friendly discussion about biology', this was getting students to discuss matters of a highly personal and private nature! And at the ages of eleven, twelve, and thirteen!

AND MY DAUGHTER AMONG THOSE STUDENTS!

You continued arguing about it being perfectly all right to discuss touching oneself after some of the younger girls said they weren't comfortable with it! They were right to think that their mothers wouldn't want to see them in the middle of a discussion like that, because they don't!

To the rest of you: I highly recommend you think before you write a journal entry discussing a topic of a sexual nature, and frankly, I discourage you from doing so.

[Murdoc is winding down a bit from his little explosion, but he's still quite obviously annoyed despite his lowered voice.]

I didn't expect that you did. But I saw, his sisters saw and his...[what is Constance to him even..] other relatives saw it as well. You would do well to think harder about the kinds a things you're postin' so as not to tarnish the reputations a others.

I won't, I'm sorry, I know it's disgusting, he never had anything to do with it, it- I won't look at him no more, I'm sorry. [fast and quiet] Ain't no one gonna think bad about him, it's just me what's wrong this way, I'm-

[cuts off abruptly]

Let it be a lesson to you. Even the dumbest dog learns to hunt eventually. He isn't forever ruined or anythin' ridiculous like that, but you need to learn to shut your mouth and step away.

[SIGH.] Besides. If he likes you so much, there must be somethin' to you.

[So quiet it might not even be audible enough to make out the words-]

There ain't.

A'course there isn't if that's how you speak about yourself. Don't you have any pride? Any dignity?

[This time there's no response, just silence.]

Are you listenin'?

Yes, sir.

Then answer the question.

Don't guess I do, sir.

Why is that?

Don't got the knowing of that.

Didn't your Father teach you anythin' about it?

No, sir. Except he don't be liking me to swear none around other people. [That maybe counts? Gamzee got the idea more that that was because the hold ladies would then hassle his father, though.]

What kind of father doesn't teach his son about pride an' dignity?

Mine, I guess? [sounds sort of bewildered ... not really sure why a dad would teach anyone about THAT] I don't know what kind he be. ... he fishes?

That's not what I meant. [He sighs, being just a tad dramatic. He's already been scolded for the way he's yelled at Gamzee, so he supposes now it's time to stop yelling at a brick wall and start considering taking some sort of a professional approach to this.]

I want to see you in my office when school begins again. It won't be a months worth of detention, if you're lucky.

Uh, you might have to ask Professor Peixes about that, 'cause I already got to be doing detentions with her, and I don't know how long that'll take. But I guess whatever extra time I'll be having, I can be serving detention with you, too. [just sort of sounds ... sad. He supposes he deserves this for being gay and eyeballing Murdoc's son.]

I never said it was detention, Makara. I'll discuss it with her in any case.

Okay. Whatever you be saying, sir.

[pauses, and in a very small voice] I really am sorry, for. For being that way.

For bein' what way? You can't very well help bein' an idiot with a seemingly broken filter for what is and isn't appropriate.

For being ... [swallows] You know. Liking blokes. And thinking ... that your son is real hot. I'll try not to sir, I really will.

Mr. Makara, you shouldn't be ashamed or afraid of your sexuality. That was never my intention, and it isn't now. I apologize if it came off that way.

I'll be transferring the time I had originally scheduled your detention for to Professor Donoghue, and he's free to shorten it as he sees fit.

[ ... huh?] Yes, ma'am.

Excellent.
