[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.

It's because of this entire night, if you hawen't been payin' attention. [He's just, gonna cross his arms and pull his legs up.]

[wwistful]

Right. [Now he feels kind of bad, Eridan. Kind of bad.] Well, maybe if you didn't..Nngh. I'm only lookin' out for your best interests.

[allisnotlost]

[Good.] Where were you in the one conwersation I actually wished that you were inwolwed in?

[You are digging your own hole for that one, Eridan.]

[wwistful]

What conversation?

[allisnotlost]

The.... The one with Professor Matteris.

[Nnnngh shit he forgot he had a terrible conversation for that and he's just. Shit why did he say that]

[wwistful]

[Oooh boy. That's a name he didn't want to hear. He's gonna just suck in this breath and plac a firm hand on Eridan's shoulder.]

I guess your old man can't protect you from everythin', eh? Guess I'm pretty fuckin' useless.

[allisnotlost]

[Why would you say that? That's like one of the only things that's going to set his mood off completely. He looks over at him sadly, because damn it old man the one thing you had to say.]

Dad...

[wwistful]

[Nope, nope. He's going to lean forward and run his hands through his hair and chuckle mirthlessly.]

What?

[allisnotlost]

[He leans toward him, not yet wanting to give him a hug. He wants to but...]

You're not useless. ["I am."] I mean it.

[wwistful]

[He shrugs dramatically and sits up a bit.]

I don't. I don't think my gettin' involved would've spared you there, lad. [This is so uncomfortable.] I'm sorry.

[allisnotlost]

[And because he sort of understands he takes that as clue to stop leaning on him and leans back instead, crossing his arms.]

Yeah, well--- [He totally deserved it.] I... don't mean to keep on cussin' but, yeah she's pretty much the worse bitch ewer. I just... I dunno it. [He pauses, looking uncomfortable himself.] Can I ewen admit this? Whenewer they were both screamin' at me, ewen though I was screamin' right back, I... I guess I was kinda scared?

[wwistful]

[He turns a bit so he can face Eridan better and smirks down at him, knowing all to well what he's talking about.]

She is the worst bitch ever, believe me. [Why else would she sleep with Strider if not to spite him.] You can be as angry as you want at Miss Matteris, but remember Vriska is a product a circumstance. She's had a hard life, she doesn't know...any..better. [Is he suddenly reconsidering everything he said about Gamzee? No. Not at all.]

[allisnotlost]

[With a sigh, he tries not to smile too much, shaking his head. He's so glad that he can relate to that, the treatment and all.

But his expression turns at the end of that, curling up a bit. Man, he's still too stubborn to actually feel all that sorry for her at the moment, but there is something that is still on his mind: Seeing her at school.] ... God I am still not lookin' forward to goin' back.

[wwistful]

[Alright, alright. Time to man down and hug the poor boy. Which, in Murdoc terms, is lying down on the bed and flinging an arm over his son.]

You an' I both.

[allisnotlost]

[And in return, Eridan leans in again a bit, since he's still crossing his arms and acting like a brat.

However, he's going to let it up for a moment. In the most completely joking way he can muster, he chuckles a tiny bit.] ... Hey Father, how much time do you think I'd get off if I sustained a large amount of injuries?

[wwistful]

You think I wasted all a this time arguin' over you to let you go fall down the stairs?

You're goin' to school Eridan, an' so am I. [The loudest sigh.]

[allisnotlost]

[He gives him a small punch to the arm.] I don't mean before I get to school, I mean right after.

[ALSO SIGHS. And sort of lowers his voice.] ... Because I'm sure as hell thinkin' I'm gonna get the snot beat out of me one way or another.

[wwistful]

It'd take a lot more than a few punches to get you sent home. Besides. Bein' liked isn't important at all, it's bein' right that matters.

An' you should be able to hold your own in a fight anyway.

[allisnotlost]

Hm. I don't care about bein' liked, though. [You complete liar.]

... And I do. I know how to fight, [huff] I know how to fight real well. [He's just. gonna completely lie more. :V]

[wwistful]

[Scoff.] I don't know a teenage boy who doesn't. Besides, the strange boy seems awful found a you.

Is that so? I've never seen you try.

[allisnotlost]

Well. Well, if someone doesn't like me then they're wrong for thinkin' that I'm anythin' other than great. [His expression softens a little, with a tiny soft huff.] Gam? Yeah we're pretty good friends an' all, since we'we kind of gotten to know each other ower the last three years.

[OKAY ENOUGH OF THIS WE'RE GETTING INTO IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS..]...

Is that a challenge, father?

[wwistful]

If you say so. [Murdoc is just going to hum at that because he feels a bit awful for yelling at him.]

[He snorts and rolls over so he can see his judging stare.] Is it? [Just. Going to start. Poking Eridan in the sides.]

[wwhatevver]

[Not so judging stare back...ish, mainly because oh god that tickles oh god.]

It most definitely is! [Poking him back... under his ribs, like a little bit harder.]

[wwistful]

[He grunts because, ow you little shit, that hurts. He smirks a little, starting to pinch at his sides instead of just poking.]

Doubt it.

[wwhatevver]

[He's terrible. Also oh god stop that, it hurts and it tickles more but MAN HES GONNA TRY TO HIDE IT!!]

N-Nuh uh! It is! [Yeah yeah. Now he's gonna tickle him.

Can't.

Tame him.]
