[The camera snaps on to show a familiar face: a very familiar and eerily stitched up face. The good doctor Stein leans back in his chair, regarding the camera, and then he gives a small smile and goes on cheerily

Why wouldn't people skip?

It's always far too early to be up and around for that sort of nonsense.

[voice]

[screw_disorder]

Huhh... Let me see. Well, if I had to guess, it's probably because they'd like to not die in the near future. There is a war on, after all.

[voice]

[suchselfishness]

I've managed perfectly well without going to it.

[voice] huh apparently I changed to voice a while ago lol whoops

[screw_disorder]

Good job. The new guests will probably want to be shown the ropes. Maybe you could come down and show them how.

[She didn't know that Stein would be back so soon, but she's pretty happy to see him. You know Maka has had a bad week when she thinks of him as being more sane that some of the other people she's talked to lately.]

Welcome back, Professor Stein!

[Sucking up? Naaaaaaw. Well, maybe just a little bit.]

[video]

[screw_disorder]

Hello again, Maka. It's been a while.

I hope you've been taking it easy after Halloween. Have you healed completely?

[video]

[grigoriwings]

Mm! [A bright nod.] It's good to have you back!

[Oh, so he heard about what happened. Of course he'd be brought back up to speed. She wonders if Papa told him the details.]

Yeah, I was mostly just tired for a couple days. Soul's back to normal, too.

We actually went on a mission with Black*Star and Tsubaki while you were gone. We're getting really close, now.

Good job. It shouldn't be too much longer before you've harvested your final soul. I wouldn't be surprised if you managed it before the end of the year.

[he's proud. <3
but he's also got other matters of business to attend to with Maka..]

Your father must be very proud of you.

[it's a bad day when Bold agrees with Rhode, but seriously]

Maybe if we make the training at a more sensible time of the day.

Like after 2 so we can sleep in.

[video]

[screw_disorder]

No, I'm afraid that's not possible.

[he sounds so broken up about it. not.]

[video]

[wiredgod]

Tch.

Neji-niisan will probably have to drag us out over his shoulder. Ugh.

[She leans back, clearly sulking, and drags her gaze up to the screw sticking out of his head]

Doesn't that hurt?

[video]

[screw_disorder]

No.

[he lets out a long breath of smoke, regarding her.]

It helps me think.

[video]

[acemedium]

I wasn't told!

[MORE LIKE SHE FORGOT]

[video]

[screw_disorder]

Oh? You weren't? Huh. Alright.

[he'll just. stare at her for a moment. creepily.]

[video]

[acemedium]

Nope.

[.... OKAY THAT'S KIND OF CREEPY]

[video]

[screw_disorder]

[he just. stares.

and stares...

staaaaares....]

Meister.

[video]

[alreadyloveyou]

I do not slack! Training is lots of fun!

[video]

[screw_disorder]

[that's a talking d- THAT'S A TALKING DOG! Stein leans closer to the screen, cocking his head.]

That's good to hear. Are you a weapon? Or a meister?

[he could just look but he wants the dog to talk more.]

[video]

[alreadyloveyou]

[HELL YES he's a talking dog, but the voice is actually coming from the flashing red device on his collar. Dug doesn't move his mouth as he talks.]

I am a weapon! I had a meister, but he has gone home.

[video]

[screw_disorder]

[gkckk look at that talking dog. how is it doing that. HOW- oh, there's a device. even so, that's awesome. he must meet this dog.]

Oh. He did? I'm sorry. You must be lonely without him. What sort of weapon are you?

[because he's now considering using the talking dog.]
