6th piece ♔ video
[ Charles is staring long and hard into his communicator and he seems to be thinking of what he's going to say, as his lips are pursed and his eyes narrowed. When it seems he's satisfied, he opens his mouth and begins to speak - English accent heavy with displeasure. ]
It has come to my attention that a rather misinformed young man has made it his goal in the City to keep children out of school. [ Charles clears his throat here, and he's pursing his lips - looking incredibly ruffled as he adjusts himself in his seat. Granted, it has taken him a while to hear this news - he's rather terrible with his communicator, but things travel quickly to him through other means. He'd like to believe it's his mutation. Really, he just has friends who tell him when he ought to pay attention. ]
I cannot begin to express the necessity and benefit of attending one's courses and, certainly, attending school as a whole. [ He looks almost pleading for a brief moment, before he's back to looking rather offended. ]
There is no monetary value to be placed upon education. It is a wholly rewarding experience with merits beyond your minds. While I understand that it is difficult for young people to enjoy education to its fullest, that does not mean it is to be forgone entirely in any situation.
It is not in my power to force students to attend their classes, nor would it be right of me to manipulate your minds to encourage you to do so. [ He says this, but who is to say he's telling the truth? It is for the greater good, after all. ] Just know that we will, quite likely, not let it stand.
[ There's an even longer pause here as Charles bores into his communicator's camera sternly, just the edge of his lip is curling into a smile before it disappears almost as quickly as it came. His expression is quite solid once more. ]
After all, if one does not attend school, the communists win.
