-but where's the gentleman gone-

..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*

Mr. Theophilus, you will please present yourself in the Ancient Runes classroom on the second floor today, at... teatime. Bring a quill and a mop.

[[Filtered to Runes students]]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the term's first Runes classes are being postponed until tomorrow. You will have an extra free period today. Please read the introduction to your year's edition of White's, and be prepared to answer review questions about the material you learned last year. Thank you.

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.livejournal.com]

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.

[mekhanisms.livejournal.com]

I will.

Ironic, indeed. If that's the case, why don't you just replace them, Professor?

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

I would, but for certain obvious physical challenges.

[mekhanisms.livejournal.com]

Why don't you get the other Professors to do it?

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*amused* Well, if we come to that, why don't I just make you do it?

On my rather long list of current priorities, this one's rather low, I must admit -- especially now; the beginning of the term is a busy time for everybody. Wards or no wards, the room still has to be cleared once to start with. Fortunately in that I do have help.

[mekhanisms.livejournal.com]

*shrugs somewhat* If you would tell me what runes I'm supposed to use, I wouldn't really mind doing it.

That's great, then.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Hm? Well, that would be much appreciated! Perhaps after class next week, when things have died down a little?

[mekhanisms.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[[ ooc: Should we still play out the part where Gareki finds out about Bob's mobility challenges, or should we just leave it? /o/ ]]

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Well, there's something to look forward to, then. *rubs hands* I'll see you in class.


[[..um. Let's do a new current situation, since I failed and went on hiatus?~]]
