Been a while since my last entry. Sorry about that. All of you know how things can be in the rough and tumble life of a high school teacher. I have dragged many, kicking and screaming, into the home stretch for their primary education. The claw marks on my arms are badges of courage, both for myself and for the young people who had the audacity to

That's a cool story, Diego!

It kinda reminds me of that episode of the Steel Samurai where the hero threw a rice bowl at the head of a shogun possessed by an evil spirit!!

Anyway, glad you weren't hurt!

[fragrant_coffee]

Have I seen that one yet?

[mediumfey]

Hmm...probably not since it's from season 6. I don't think you've caught up that far yet?

We should totally have another Steel Samurai all-night marathon! :D

It would give me a more practical application for this oversized cup.

Why not invite a few people? I know a few Steel Samurai fans who I'm sure would be honored to be invited by the Master of the Kurain Tradition...

It sounds so much scarier when you write it out like that... I'm glad you're all right. Though I wish you wouldn't take such big risks...

And also is the coffee hot?

[fragrant_coffee]

Like the fires of Hell, little mystic.

[smallmedium]

In that case I'm not so sure... It should be pretty cool by a half-hour or so later. I'll hold the stopwatch when you do your trial, all right?

So much crime in this city nowadays!!

Good to hear you made it through okay! Sounds like it was a pretty great adventure!!

[fragrant_coffee]

It really was. Best coffee I've had in a while, too... Sweetened by the heady nectar of adrenaline.

[delitefulwife]

Spectacular! Nothing tastes as good as it does when you're doing something dangerous, does it?

[objectionplease]

Do you really drag your students kicking and screaming??

[fragrant_coffee]

Whenever possible. A young man or woman must be made to build character through overcoming hardship. It's one of my rules.

[objectionplease]

Has...has that really been NECESSARY? Boy, high schools get scarier and scarier...

[fragrant_coffee]

Once or twice. Other times it helps to surprise them.

President masks are resurging in popularity lately for burglars and the like, though I couldn't tell you why. You were really quite lucky, though you must already know that. Besides, you might have survived had he shot you in the visor.

[fragrant_coffee]

How delightfully tacky.

I suppose I might have. I had forgotten I was wearing it, to tell you the truth, so it did not occur to me.

[miles_distant]

Yes, I suppose we aren't at our most logical when we're faced with the barrel of a gun.

I'd admonish your recklessness, but I've seen the outcome of many worse reactions to a situation like that. I imagine you're far harder to kill than is expected of you by most. Congratulations.

I assume you also stayed long enough to give a witness' report to the police? If so, perhaps I or one of my subordinates will be giving you a call.

Time and steam wait for no man, prosecutor, and I had places to be and java to drink.
