I know we've all been a bit distracted lately, not only from the abrupt loss of two colors from the spectrum, but all the usual school madness that occurs in June. Grades are coming in, summer sessions are about to begin, and that's an understandably stressful time.

[To say nothing of sleep loss. Rosalind certainly looks exhausted as she glowers into the camera. Behind her, chalkboards are filled with equations, and someone with a particularly clever mind might be able to spot a trend towards space and time.]

However. Let me give a few of you a piece of advice. I know several of you are in university right now, or about to graduate high school and enter into it. If you ever send a professor who failed you something like what I'm about to attach, you will not change their minds. Point in fact, they'll be even more determined to fail you. I know I certainly am, and I'm not even the one dealing with this right now.

Honestly, I preferred the bribes to this.

[here's majima, here to be helpful:]

Damn, Professor-san, he said "respectfully."

[seeker]

[with the facial expression of someone trying not to laugh, here's Alison.]

...You've got to admit that's kind of funny.

[originallutece]

Oh, well, never mind, let me just pass him with flying colors.

[But actually, there's something a bit more interesting to focus on there.]

"Professor-san?"

[sotenbori]

Have people really bribed you? Why the fuck are they payin' ta go to school if they're just gonna turn around and pay not to learn?

[ damn you snuck that in there ]

Yeah, it's an honorific.

[originallutece]

I most certainly do not. It might be funny if it was a joke, but they sent it to me completely earnestly.

[mercurio]

That... wasn't me, right?

[of course it wasn't. rosalind isn't even your professor, tool.]

[originallutece]

[It absolutely wasn't, and yet--]

And here I was trying to spare your feelings.

[mercurio]

[she thinks--]

...

Bruh.

[seeker]

Maybe he's in shock.

[originallutece]

[SURE DID SORRY BRUH]

Because people are exceptionally stupid. And half of them would rather simply be handed the degree than attempt to work for it. It was one of my graduate students, too.

[Chriiiiist.]

What would be the English equivalent?

1/?

[originallutece]

Stop that.

[sotenbori]

[ BRUHHHHH

BEST,
ME ]

Damn. Sometimes people disappoint you in ways you don't expect.

[ he's weirdly upset about this?? which people, jesus christ is right ]

Uh... [ he thinks for a moment ] English equivalent's stupid. Would've used English if I could get the same point across.

[originallutece]

I don't know why he is, he's the one who didn't turn in his assignments.

[She's a bit waspish, but none of it is directed towards Alison.]

Honestly, it isn't as if I failed him on a whim. If you're too lazy to do the work, you oughtn't be in school.

[mercurio]

In all respectfulness, your professorship, I -- apologise.

[originallutece]

I assume it's respectful.

[Which isn't actually a question. He's been nothing but polite to her so far; there's no reason to suspect he'd suddenly turn around and insult her in Japanese.]

I rather like it. Are you giving everyone honorifics?

[originallutece]

[Oh, my god. Oh my god, your professorship, and she honestly can't tell if he's trying to mock her or attempting something respectful.]

. . . Prompto. Give me a list of your classes. Right now, list them out for me.

[sotenbori]

Nah, only special people.

[ its def respectful ]

I can't really explain it, sometimes it just feels right an' I go for it. Since I got Japanese back, I mean.

[originallutece]

--you got a language back?

[sotenbori]

Yeah, so did Kazzy. It's pretty dope.

[mercurio]

Uhm...

Well, there's Digital Cameras, Photojournalism, Art History, 2 and 3-dimensional design, Communications...

[originallutece]

Good god. You two can speak it fluently?

[originallutece]

And what is it I teach?

[Science is an acceptable answer, although we'll also accept physics or biology.]

[mercurio]

Oh, I know!

[you will not regret this]

Chemistry!
