Twelve Rose Petals Fall - [Voice | Filtered from Nephry 100%]

[its_rose_damnit]

[Well, after a few days of putting up with the insanity of swapping bodies with his best friend, Dist has had just about enough. The mistaken identity was absolutely irritating now, and he's sick and tired of it. If these people want Jade, then fine. He'll gladly oblige their wishes for the old goat.

So, after throwing up a quick filter away from

[Amusing as that message was -she can't deny it made her smile-, Gelda's can't just let this go without a warning.]

That's quite enough, Saphir.

[Voice]

[jeidotaku]

[Oh, shit. Immediately stopping. He knew he was forgetting to add a few people onto that filter.]

It was only in jest, Professor.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

I'm sure you could've jested in better taste. You are a grown man, after all.

[Voice]

[jeidotaku]

Even grown men enjoy a bit of child's play. [And Jade would do the same thing and you know it.]

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[She knows it, yes, but as in Dist's case, she'd rather that he didn't.]

There's a difference between a child's play and a child's taunting, Saphir. Be sure to bear that in mind.

[Voice]

[jeidotaku]

My apologies, Professor... [Sincerity. Dist does not have it right now.] But as I said before, it's simply jest among friends. Besides, Jade isn't here to bear witness to my little prank. No harm in something he knows not of, correct?

[If he did, Dist "wouldn't be here" either, but for an entirely different reason.]

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[Oh honestly, why can't he just admit he was wrong? She feels so silly lecturing a grown man.] There's all the more harm in hiding things from him. I could've sworn I taught you not to laugh at others behind their backs.

[Voice]

[jeidotaku]

Strange...I could have sworn you taught the same to Jade and that guffawing buffoon attached to his hip. Yet, even still, I was often the end of their own jokes and insults. [Sigh...fine, he'll stop for real this time.]

You weren't caught by this experiment, Professor?

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[Nnnh, it's reminders like these that make Gelda wish she was around longer to teach her students. Seems like Nephry's the only one who actually learned proper manners.]

No. Luckily, I am still myself. It's for the best, of course.

[Voice]

[jeidotaku]

I'm glad to hear that. Though, in hindsight, this experiment wasn't as awful as it could have been, I suppose... [Just very uncomfortable. Though, it was also highly amusing in some cases, so it seemed to balance out more or less]

It seems we've gotten off easy, though I would prefer to have not been affected myself.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[We dare not ask which cases were highly amusing. Nope, we dare not.] That's very understandable. There are hardly ever experiments where we would wish to be affected.

[Voice]

[its_rose_damnit]

[Anise, the bouncing bag of gald is a memory Dist hopes never to forget, let's put it that way.]

Indeed, though this experiment seems to even be preferred by some. I've seen quite a few people who were rather happy with it.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

Oh, is that so? I suppose that with residents changing into people or things they enjoy, a few of them are bound to be pleased with the results.

[Voice]

[jeidotaku]

[Dist bristled a little at a particular part of Gelda's sentence looking away from his journal with a huff. S-So, his assumptions were correct after all. Of all the idiotic things to become... I-It wasn't as if he didn't like other things! ...Though turning into the Professor would have been much more awkward.

...Okay, purging that thought from his mind now, brb.]

Y-Yes. I...I do suppose so.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

[This just goes to show that no matter how much Dist pretends to hate Jade, deep down he still has a soft spot for his old friend. It's good to know.]

Now, then. I trust you've learned your lesson?

[Voice]

[jeidotaku]

[Dist sighs, feeling a bit odd having to be told such things by his old schoolteacher, given his age, yet...he obediently replies with a nod of his head. If her goal was to embarrass him as well as lecture him, it's working.]

Yes, Professor...
