This isn't the Academy.

Assiah?
But how...?

No. It can't be. It's just--that's impossible.

... ... ...

But Lord Rosiel is still here and--

Excuse me!
My name is Katan, ST Candidate.
One of my superiors, the Lord Rosiel is here. I know it. I--I should like to know where he is

... How did you...

You're nowhere near the Academy. Don't worry about it.

[one_that_leads]

Oh. I see.

Thank you for your help, sir.

May I ask another question, sir?

...where are we?

[bedsidemanners]

An unfortunate place. But you'll be back at home soon.

[one_that_leads]

I see.

Thank you, sir.

[bedsidemanners]

You don't believe me, do you?

[one_that_leads]

No, sir. I believe you.

[bedsidemanners]

[Katan, your unfailing politeness might almost be endearing. Almost.]

... Rosiel should take care of you.

[one_that_leads]

I've just heard from him, sir. I hope I can be of help to him here.

[bedsidemanners]

If anyone can.

[one_that_leads]

Sir?

[bedsidemanners]

Yes?

You don't have to keep calling me that. I'm not used to it anymore.

[one_that_leads]

Yes, sir.

[Derp.]

[ooc: Also, please let me apologize for the custom comment pages ._. Since LJ's programmers are planning on doing that genius thing where they remove subject lines in comments (among other lovely and useful things), I wanted to preserve my comment subjects and drop-down icon menu and all that for the time being. I am so sorry. This all sucks so hard. If LJ doesn't do this v. stupid thing, I will turn custom comments off, like, immediately. Faster than immediately. But let me apologize for this bullshit in the meantime.]

[siiiigh]

I suppose it's a change of pace. But I'm not sure if I'd been promoted yet.

(ooc: It's okay! I had heard about the subject line thing but didn't know you could preserve it by turning on custom comments, so I just thought you were tinkering with the layout or something. No worries at all!)

[one_that_leads]

But, still, I--

It seems right, sir.

[ooc: Thanks ;; Yeah, apparently if you're using "S2" comments (that is, custom comments on an S2-style journal), you'll still have subject lines for the time being. Right now they're only changing "S1" comment pages (that is, the ol' blue-and-white comment pages). S2 may change in some months and lose all this stuff too, but, for now, it'll keep the subject lines. IT'S KILLING ME, THOUGH.]

[bedsidemanners]

Give it time.

(ooc: Thank you for the info! I may have to follow suit myself. =( Ugh, this is lousy.)

[one_that_leads]

All right.

[ooc: So lousy. I know a number of people (self included) have sent formal feedback messages to LJ via their "contact" page at the bottom of the blue-and-white pages. It might not be such a bad way to voice opinions about this pending change. IDK--it made me feel better |D;;]
