I feel... mostly better. I'm a lot happier than I was, though... knowing that a good friend of mine has returned.

To all my students -- I'm sorry I haven't been in class as often as I should have been this year. I've been getting ill more and more easily this year... and a matter of security in my home world required that I, earlier on, return home temporarily.

[private; Reimu]

I'm not sure that's what it could be called, but, at present, it's the best way I could think of to describe it.

I hope everyone is well after that event... I am not. I am quite ill, in fact. I shall not be appearing in classes. Kids, don't blow up too many things in my absence. I don't want to have to replace any of it.

...This "Halloween" event sounds rather amusing. Should there be any special events for this, I suppose I shall attend.

I'll be on leave for an indeterminate length of time. Something came up.

[private; Schala]

Don't worry.

Sorry I was staying with you so long, my dear. If something should happen to me, though, I may wish to stay just a little bit longer...

[/private]

...this is not good.

Mistress, why was she let out? Did you or one of the servants let her out? Did she just get out on her own?

I'm... a little afraid of this. What is going on here?!

Schala... could I stay with you a little longer?

I'm not going to this event.

So far, my students seem to be doing well... Though, these are only the first few days. I'm sure many of you will manage this, after seeing these results.

[private; Reimu]

How are your classes so far, Reimu?

[/private]

As of this coming year, I shall be teaching magic classes.

Students, I must warn you that my classes will probably be very difficult... Hopefully, though, most of you will manage.

[private; Reimu]

See? Now I'll have to go outside a little, Reimu.

But maybe you can still drag me out before then~?

[/private]

[private; Schala]

I look forward to working with you.

[/private]

[private; Alice]

Oh, Alice~ If you want me so, come for me~ I'm only locked in a room in a somewhat tall structure... Your princess awaits~

[/private]

[[OOC: Strikes deleted. Oh, let her have her fun~]]

I think I'll be keeping the door locked for now... I probably won't be letting anyone in.

...hm. It seems it hasn't rained in a while.

Hm. I haven't left my room for ten days. I'm not planning to leave it again in the near future, either. I'm finding it's more pleasant to avoid people...

Finally... all my classes have ended. What shall I do with the rest of my time here~?

[private; Schala]

Do we have time to meet~? I understand if you're busy~

[/private]

[private; Anita]

Anita~ What are you going to be doing with classes having ended?

[/private]

[private, hackable]

Hm... this does provide a slight issue...

[/private]

[private; Schala]

I do hope that finals are not putting too much pressure on you as a teacher, dear... How does it progress, Schala?

[/private]

Glad to see things seem to have calmed down for now. And, imagine that, it happened while I was gone.

[private; Schala]

...if I was the problem, you'd tell me, right?

[/private]

How did you ever manage it? I'm quite impressed.

I miss her so... I wonder when she will return~?

For now, though, I think I'm mostly finished with my classes, so I needn't worry about them so much... There are a few other things which presently interest me...

[private; hackable]

...Goddamnit. To say I am disgusted by this would be an understatement.

[/private]

...this does not bode well. Whatever happened to this place...?

...please, someone come to give me solace -- or at least come to cure my boredom.

Now, will somebody please explain to me what is happening here? I can't keep track of any of this nonsense.

I don't mind that much that she's gone, I swear! I... Really! I can manage without her!

[private; hackable]

Oh, what the bloody hell is wrong with me, acting like this. Of course I'm fine without Schala. I still have a few friends. I just feel a need to tell myself I can, even though...

...I'm really just overreacting about all this. I doubt she even cares that much about me. Certainly she doesn't, deep down, care about me the way I care about her. Why would she...? She might like me as a friend, but it'll never go further, no matter how much I may want it to.

The only person I'll ever really miss is Alice. She's the only one who cared about me as a person, from home. Maybe someone here cares about me, but I doubt it.

[/private]

Anita... you were a lot of fun to talk to. Are you busy tonight? I think I'd like to speak to you a little.

I should probably focus a little better on my classes -- even though I think I've gained all the knowledge about this world I'll need from these classes -- which were my prime reasons for taking them, as otherwise, I've learned much in all these years -- I've had quite a bit of time -- I'm still enrolled in them, I can't let my marks slip, right?

Well, it's about time I got some sleep. At least, I was getting sleep until the idiot... I haven't slept in two days.

*sigh* Lulu, I hope you're a little more well now.

Schala, I'm afraid I shan't be attending class for another two days. Same to all my other teachers. Besides, if I was in class I wouldn't be able to do much of anything right.

Now please, just go away, everyone who's not sch
