Look who's come crawling back...

[nozomuitoshiki]

*It's early Friday morning, and the delinquent social studies teacher Nozomu Itoshiki is skulking his way back to his classroom, trying his hardest not to be spotted by any of the other teachers or pupils, who might have questions as to just why he had disappeared unannounced just before Christmas and not returned nor given anybody information of

Ohhh NOZUMU-SENSEI~~~~~

*Here, you lucky bastard! Have a wild Gintoki-sensei pop up behind you, looking as innocent as a fresh-hatched chick (although not quite as gross). He's sitting at your desk complacently, quite as if he belongs there.*

I see you found yourself?

[nozomuitoshiki]

Yeek!

*Nozomu almost trips over a chair in shock, startled by Gintoki-sensei's loud, sudden, and wholly unwelcome appearance*

G-Gintoki-sensei...uh... hello... what do you mean by 'found yourself'?

[secretlystill12]

You said you went missing. Since you signed the note, I guessed that you'd gone off to look for you.

*s-seriously, is Gintoki a bit slow in the head or what? It's hard to tell. He gives Nozomu an innocent look*

So. Did you find yourself?

[nozomuitoshiki]

Uh...what? How am I supposed to answer that?

I'm acutally not sure...I suppose so...?

[secretlystill12]

*Gintoki nods to himself sagely*

Ahh, that's good. It's hard to get work done when you're lost. Pretty distracting.

*he stretches and yawns, getting up and gesturing grandly at a stack of papers on the other teacher's desk*

There're the essays I set your class...since you're back you can mark them, I guess.

[nozomuitoshiki]

Ah, you were the one who covered my class? I don't usually set essays or anything, but... *he picks up the stack of papers and leafs through them quickly* What subject was the essay actually set on?

[secretlystill12]

Gamaran.

*dead-serious!face plz*

[nozomuitoshiki]

Gamaran? What's that?

[secretlystill12]

*have a stunned, disbelieving look*

Gamaran. It's a battle manga. You can't not know. Seriously?!

[nozomuitoshiki]

I don't know, okay? And why are you doing things like getting my students to write essays on manga? Seriously, why manga?

[secretlystill12]

Hey. hey! Manga is interesting. Social Studies is boring.

*Gin looks a bit injured ;_;*

Besides, if we're lucky maybe one of them actually got the point of the exercise.

[nozomuitoshiki]

If you think social studies is so boring, Gintoki-sensei, then pray tell me, why do you teach it? Manga might be interesting, but it isn't relevant to...anything. At all. Just what have you been teaching my class? This class has lost enough credibility as it is.

What might the point of the exercise have been, anyhow?

[secretlystill12]

Ehh, it was the easiest thing to bullshit my way through, I suppose.

*he gives a shrug and a flippant wave*

Who knows?

[nozomuitoshiki]

If even you don't know what the point of the essay was supposed to be, how do you think I'm supposed to mark them? You can mark them yourself, Gintoki-sensei, seeing as you set the topic.

*Now seemed as good a time as any for Nozomu to slouch miserably over his desk and bury his head in his hands in desperation, but he realised Gintoki-sensei was still reclined unwelcome and all too nonchalantly in his chair, so resorted to perching despondently on the edge of a students desk and trying to his best to appear dismal, gazing into space despondently.*

Why do I have to deal with this first thing in the morning, anyway...first day back, too...

[secretlystill12]

....

*throws an eraser at him*

[nozomuitoshiki]

H-hey! What was that for?!
