Week 0: Tuesday

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart shoots Kuon a look of amusement when she exits the building that houses the creepy Cats class. It has another name, but that's how he remembers it.]

Did that professor sing again?

[txt]

[She is just perpetually stuck with this expression after class. The experience will haunt her for life.]

More times than even I could count.

[ercnerd]

[Poor thing.]

Do you think everyone's grades go up every time he sings? No one can talk when he's doing that.

[txt]

I'll draft a complaint to the dean if they don't.

[ercnerd]

Have you met the dean?

[txt]

Nope! [BUT, HM.] I wonder if asking for their email address would get me anywhere.

[ercnerd]

Good idea. That's the address those phones use, right?

[txt]

You got it! Are emails not a big thing in your dimension?

[ercnerd]

They don't exist in Aernas. Maya and Rita taught me how to operate the phone.

[txt]

Aernas...? Oh, the name of your dimension? [Nods, nods.] If you have any other tech questions, I'm your girl. I'm something of a computer whiz.

[ercnerd]

Is that going to cost me a favor?

[txt]

Are you offering one in return?

[ercnerd]

Sure, if it comes to that. What would you want?

[txt]

[she hums... and then, curiously:]

Do you plan to use the vouchers?

[ercnerd]

I haven't decided yet. Are you collecting them?

[txt]

That's right. If you decide you don't want yours after all, I can take them off your hands in exchange for teaching you all I know about technology.

[ercnerd]

I'll let you know if it comes to that. So far I'm not dying to know what else these phones can do.

[txt]

My offer isn't limited to just these phones, you know.

Anyhow, it was just a thought since you brought it up.

[ercnerd]

Thanks.

[He can't rely on the kids forever.]

Anyway, I'll let you go before you miss your next class. Let me know if you get in touch with the dean, will you?

[txt]

Ahaha, don't worry now. You'll be the first on my list. Catch you later, alligator!

Week 0: Friday

[ercnerd]

[Out in the void, Sieghart stalks the campus in his uniform. There are small bite marks on his face with their less egregious counterparts dotting his lower arms. He carries his sword over his shoulder, because there's no way he's taking chances after that announcement.]

[txt]

[Uh.]

Now, what happened to you?

[ercnerd]

The geese and squirrels happened to me.

[txt]

[... SOLEMNLY NODS.]

Right on. Have you seen Yanagiya-san yet?

[ercnerd]

They'll heal.

I'm more interested in knowing why I ended up with them. Where did you wake up?
