The bosses want me to write on the events of yesterday's tragedy at London College.

I told them to get stuffed.

There is no humour to be found in that. None.

Fucking Hell. Glad you told them where to stick it, mate.

My bosses aren't the most moral of individuals. That's why they have the job they do, unfortunately. And I am fated to forever be a struggling columnist. But I'd rather have that and keep my integrity intact, thanks.

[chase_dragons]

I think you have a lot of that. I really admire your moral fibre. That's something that will make a difference in the end.

[this_is_vienna]

Thank you, Timothy. I admire yours as well. I hope it does.

[chase_dragons]

No problem, and thank you! Hope is good, especially now.

[this_is_vienna]

Hope and prayer. Well, that last one if you're me.

Autumn says hello.

[chase_dragons]

Hello, Autumn! How is she doing with all of this? She didn't know anyone involved, did she?

[this_is_vienna]

No, she didn't know anyone involved. A few of my students had siblings that were involved so she's comforting me like the wonderful person she is.

[chase_dragons]

She really is that, a wonderful person. I wish I were there with her. I'm sorry your students lost people, Victor. It's just so fucked up.

[this_is_vienna]

I'm sorry for them too. We'll have a sad session on Monday, but I'll be there for them.

And you'll be back here soon.

[chase_dragons]

We'll all be there for the people who need us.
