[oh, drama class! y'all filing in ought to know your lazyass teacher by now; he's just lounging against the stage, flipping through the journal and throwing the arriving students dismayed looks as if he still can't believe he's saddled with this. this is because he really still can't believe he's saddled with this. why is this place is making ( Read more... )

[there's a couple of thumps from the open journal, and then Howl speaks quietly... to a ghost, apparently.] Yes, that will do. You may go now, thank you.

[and clearing his throat.I must say. I've spent my time here looking admiringly at all these lovely, empty towers, from my lowly room in the second floor, and given that there doesn't appear ( Read more... )

Ah, for those of you who retrieved items from the mysterious room uncovered in that roiling mess known as the Insolitus... I'd like to inspect them.
