goodbye my friends, adios

[fecklesslyadorn]

Ladies and Gentlemen, students, staff, ghosts and portraits, I have a rather important announcement I've been meaning to make for a week now. You see, I've been putting it off. Not for reasons of procrastination, though I am a notorious procrastinator, but because it's both wonderful and depressing news at the same time

[don_quixotic]

You're...going. Right. Great.

Um...I could do with something off you, actually, sir, before you go.

[fecklesslyadorn]

Yes, I am.

Sure. What do you need?

[don_quixotic]

Oh. Right.

Reference, sir. One of many, see, I need quite a few for the job I'm applying for. More of a character than academic reference, I suppose, but a bit of both wouldn't go amiss.

[fecklesslyadorn]

Oh. Yes, of course. I'll get right on that then.

[don_quixotic]

Thanks, sir. Thanks a lot. Be nice, won't you?

[fecklesslyadorn]

You're welcome.

Where am I sending this?

[don_quixotic]

Oh. Um... Mr Alexander Banks, Department of International Co-operation.

You will be nice, won't you, sir? I'm sorry for being rude.

[fecklesslyadorn]

Alright then. I'll send it off within the week.

I wouldn't be so cruel as to do otherwise.

[don_quixotic]

You can take your time, sir, I've only got three others so far. I need another two at least after yours.

Thank you, sir. Just checking, because I was quite rude.

[fecklesslyadorn]

I'll get it done within the week.

You're welcome. It's alright.

[don_quixotic]

Well, thank you, then. Oh, I don't suppose, if you see Professor Delame, if you can ask him when I can see him next week? I was supposed to this week, but he wasn't here. And I don't really want to bother him if he's ill, you know. If it's not any trouble.

[fecklesslyadorn]

I wouldn't know about Professor Delame, but if I see him I'll be sure to say something. He's got office hours. It might be best to just stop by.

[don_quixotic]

Yes, but he said he'd see me specially... I'll figure this out next week, it's not that important.

[fecklesslyadorn]

Write him a letter then. It'd be the best way to reach him.

[don_quixotic]

Right. I'll do that, then. I just thought you might...know something I don't. Fair enough, I'll write to him.

[fecklesslyadorn]

I do not. But yes, do write to him.
