Step Eighty-One

[senseiseiichi]

IF I HAVE TO LOOK AT ANOTHER FILE I WILL SCREAM.

Counseling has been really slow lately, so we've all been stuck in the file room-which has needed a massive sorting for years and this just happens to be the right time to do it. Mie-sensei asked for volunteers to collate and staple some papers, and a riot almost broke out to get out of the file room

It's not just you. He is hanging around, a lot.

Hell, if he wants to stalk the center, he can just come in and sort files with us. Back at work 3 hours, and I've got more paper cuta than I can ever remember.

Seriously, though. He's there. Even when we don't see him, he's there. The feeling of being stalked is the same. I'm just not sure if he wants someone specific or he hates all of us.

...Somehow, I think me going crazy was a better option.

Although inviting him in to sort the files is tempting. I swear, if Mie-sensei comes back in with any other sort of task, I am the first one out the door. Need the Hello Kitty bandages? =P

Problem is, we can't get him barred from the area. I think all of us need to be extra careful.

You are crazy already? How can you go further? *smiles*

Sorting these files is a true punishment. And the collating! It's going to haunt my dreams tonight.... And I think I do need the Hello Kitty ones. I gave the last of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ones someone else.

I'll keep my eyes open. I don't want to drag security into this, but we might have to.

I'm not crazy, I'm insane. There is a difference. =P

I don't know why they decided to wait until now to do it. I feel like I'm going into the wayback machine with the dates on some of these files!

Heh, Hello Kitty coming right up. And I need to get more bee ones, too. Kevin got the last one, I think.

I hope it doesn't come down to it.

That sounds lovely. I'm looking forward to it already.

He'd better not. I don't think he'd like to see what I'm capable of when provoked.

=) All right. I'll look into booking it. My friend showed me a few pictures, and it looked beautiful. Very private.

Gakuto and I are going to try and set him up with my little suitor from last year. I think he's more lonely than anything else, and doesn't know how to talk to people.

...Well, that and all of the porn about pizza delivery guys and naked women must have gotten into his head.

.......And I forgot. You're pre-med. Are there any complications from injecting hot sauce straight into a vein?

Private to Seiichi

[k_tez]

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with the preparations.

...

As for the actual effects of that, I can't say for sure, but I don't think it would be a very good idea.

Private to Kunimitsu

[senseiseiichi]

You can relax. =)

.....You don't know what I'm talking about. Somehow, I'm not surprised you've never seen porn. It's not all bad...

There has to be a test case, right? I'm dying here! D=

Oh, and the carvings are just about done. I put a protective coat on and I'm just waiting for them to dry. They're cute!

I'm... hanging in there, to be honest. I thought a little time would do me good, but I guess it's just taking a little bit longer than I thought it would.

But I'll be okay. I'm sorry for worrying you...

Private to Shiraishi-kun

[senseiseiichi]

If you need to talk, I'm always available. Just take your time. Your health is more important than anything else.

=) I worry about everyone. Just take care of yourself.

Private to Yukimura-kun

[mprfct_shiku]

I appreciate it, Yukimura-kun. I just wish I knew how much time it would take, I guess... But some things are just unpredictable, so putting an estimate on time would be pointless? I don't even know if that makes any sense at all...

But I will do my best. Hopefully it won't be too long...

Private to Shiraishi-kun

[senseiseiichi]

=) I work in peer counseling, so from my experience-personal and my client's, I know that it can take a very long time. The grieving process is a very rocky road. But if it takes too much out of you, you've got to talk to someone. No one wants to see anything happen to you.

Yukimura

I think we need to take them aside and put them through their paces before I can be of more help. Oishi and I can team up and play them for a baseline reading.

Inui

[senseiseiichi]

Go right ahead! Oishi and Yagyuu need to tighten up, but they're both good doubles players, so I'm not too worried about that combination. I don't want to strictly rely on singles and throw away D2, so...a bit of work is needed.

Do what you have to, it's not hard to adjust the schedules.

[thgntlmn]

Thank you, Yukimura-kun. I'm well aware that I still have a lot more to work on with Oishi-kun to get my doubles play up to par again.

Private to Yukimura-kun
About Akazawa-kun and Wakato-kun...Please get them to stop arguing soon or I might do something drastic like handcuffing them together for a week.

[senseiseiichi]

We all have plenty to work on, but I have a pretty positive outlook of the team so far. It'll be one interesting ride, that's for sure.

Private to Yagyuu-kun

If they were handcuffed together, I would have no objections. But as it is, Inui has offered to help develop them into a decent D2.

[thgntlmn]

Of course. I'm looking forward to the time when we get to play tournament games.

Private to Yukimura-kun
Or we can lock them into a storage closet somewhere. That's good to hear.

[senseiseiichi]

So am I. I really want to see how we all fare. Already trying to target some weak spots on the other teams. Business as usual. =)

Private to Yagyuu-kun

Hmm...I don't think that's a good idea. Storage closets have limited oxygen and lots of sharp objects. Cleanup is messy.
