[Schoolyard rumors spread as quickly as wildfire in the dry fields.  In lunch hours and in recess, students huddled in corners and spoke amongst themselves of... The Teacher.  They said The Teacher was the strictest of disciplinarians, maintaining control of the classroom with an iron ruler and a steely gaze.

Oh? And do you mind pointing out what I've said that's been mean or cruel or unfair?

[deaths_heritor]

Useless is not equivalent to boring, Zidane. As a matter of fact, I find the two are often in direct competition. You'll have as much fun in this class as your attitude dictates - Regard it as a chore, and it will be a chore. It isn't my job to entertain you.

[Susan ignores the mention of scary teachers.]

[deaths_heritor]

Fair enough.

And, just to satisfy your expectations briefly -- English lesson number one. Using the same adverb twice in the same clause isn't necessary.

((Haha, that's fine, don't worry about it. I realized it was probably a typo but it's the sort of thing Susan would be obnoxious about.))

[Susan just slowly raises an eyebrow at that.]

For future reference, if you're going for brownie points, you probably should try it before accusing me of being mean.

[deaths_heritor]

I can, actually, but I'll give you a pass this time. Do you flirt with many of your teachers?

[deaths_heritor]

I believe there are laws against this sort of thing, actually but I suppose you're secretly 500 years old like the rest of the class, so the point is moot.
