-but where's the gentleman gone-

[bobthewizard]

..As I expected. Runes starts today, and the classroom is virtually unprepared, the sink clogged, every surface dust-ridden, the supplies still boxed up, and my office still full of spiders. Pity that elf-magic can't be trusted around the mummy dust....

Two days into the year and I already need a break. I must be getting soft.

*paces, fuming*

*Reggie appears some time later, looking a little disheveled, with a black eye and holding only a quill*

I tried to bring the mop, but he's a dirty fighter. Got me in the eye. I'LL SHOW HIM!

[bobthewizard]

*sigh, turning to step through the desk* Very well, then, we'll start with the quill and a clean bit of parchment.

Might I inquire, at this stage, how familiar you actually are with Ancient Runes?

[hatteroftea]

Umm...I remember some from school...I think....maybe.

*he scratches his head underneath his hat as he tries to think*

[bobthewizard]

Do you recall that the instrument of writing and the medium upon which a spell is written can have a distinct impact on the efficacy of a piece of written magic?

*tries to simplify* ..For example, a hover-charm written on vellum with a silver pen will not work as well as one written on rice paper with a feather.

[[ ooc: I feel like getting him to hack, and to tell Bob use magic (runes) to somehow get the dust off XDD ]]

[bobthewizard]

...?

[[Lol, go for it! XD]]

[mekhanisms]

A free period so early into the school year?

Also, Professor... In regards to the conditions of the classroom, would it not be possible to somehow use the power of the runes to keep the dust off the surfaces?

[bobthewizard]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

True. It is, in fact, generally warded in that manner, but the wards are disabled over the summer... ironically enough, to allow the classrooms to be cleaned and re-aired. They'll have to be replaced before they'll do any good.

*Beams at Bob* I'll help you clean up all this Professor! After all, its what I do best!

((ooc: OHAI..XD apparently Bob gets Tohru as his TA))

[bobthewizard]

You will? I mean... well... yes, I appreciate that, Miss Honda! *looking forward to his afternoon a lot more now*

[[OHAI, TOHRUUUUU!!!<3]]

[zodiaconigiri]

Of course sir! Its not a problem!

[[OHAII :D ♥]

[bobthewizard]

Well, this is a welcome development and no mistake. Tell me... how are you with spiders?
