School is in Session

[Hogswatch and the plague of cats had made for a lovely diversion, but it was back to business now.  The house, thankfully, was no longer unbearably fragrant and the carpet had stopped squishing underneath her feet.  Reluctantly, Susan would have admitted to being amazed (and slightly impressed) at the sheer spite of the animal.  Owner swat you away?  Well!  We couldn't have that now.  Just piss all over her towels, yes, that will show her.

The smell of cat is still heavily lingering on Susan when she shows up for English Literature class at the beginning of the new quarter.  At any time, people may notice that Susan's hair is . . . rearranging itself.  Purposefully and constantly.]

1.  [in the school, voice]
And so we see that the orphan Pip is sent to the severely deranged Havisham to serve as a 'playmate' for her adopted child.  As we add sexual grooming and child neglect to the list of felonies committed by in this classic novel thus far, we see that Miss Havisham has also cultivated an environment primed for the unabetted growth of toxic molds and aerial pollutants.  Pip, naturally, is immediately thrust into this room and thereafter subjected to frequent harrassment of a sexual nature by a woman sixty years his senior.

In keeping with the moral presented at the beginning of the book wherein aiding a convict is perfectly acceptable as an activity for a young child, Miss Havisham suffers exactly no consequences for her actions.

Any questions so far?

2.  [in the school, action]
[Susan has finished with classes for the day!  And she's on her way out when suddenly, the principal of the school bumps into her and calls her into his office.  Oh, dear.  As they begin to argue in the hall, a rather peculiar sight is observed.  While you can see Susan perfectly fine, the principal first becomes rather confused as he trails off at the ends of sentences, next begins to look around confusedly, then finally calls out once for the missing Miss Sto Helit before meandering away looking puzzled.  She stands staring at him placidly before she leaves, her hair still rearranging itself.]

The Postman has been discussed enough, but has anyone tried speaking to him at the Post Office yet?  If you'd rather avoid this line of conversation, you can prattle on about your shiny new toys if you'd like, although I can't promise I'll listen.
