Second Wind: General Announcement [Voice]

[count_to_peace]

[Zechs had been keeping a low profile since he arrived last month, if only because he isn't much of a network person. Sure, keeping up with posts is a good idea, but he'd rather keep his interactions to a minimum. Especially as of late.

But this post was necessary.]

To those of you with intentions of attending the Second Honnouji Academy, please note that no matter which subject area you decide to focus on, ballroom dancing is a requirement. It must be fulfilled, or you won't receive a certificate of completion of your education. This is non-negotiable, with exceptions to restrictions as deemed necessary from a qualified medical doctor.

Thank you.

[He's really tired of all the inquiries, and complaints. If he had to suffer, then so do they.]

And to think, Star never told me. How could she have kept something like that hidden for so long? Is there no end to her secrets?

[Somehow, Ted's sure he can get free ballroom dancing lessons out of this.]

[ wait. she knows that voice. (or at least, she thinks she does.) it's a long shot, but she can't help but venture— ]

Milliardo?

[count_to_peace]

I'm not sure whom you're talking about.

[Maybe this person has the wrong feed...]

[youfool]

The headmaster, or principal, or...sensei? What's the Japanese for head of a school like that? Come on, you don't think Ms. Kiryuin is a little starry?

[count_to_peace]

[It's his turn to recognize her voice. One he hadn't heard in quite some time.]


...it's been a while since anyone has called me that.

[count_to_peace]

[What is this guy going on about?]

I wouldn't know anything about a Japanese equivalent, but Ms. Kiryuin is not...starry.

[youfool]

Ted folded his arms. "Well she's certainly something. What's your preferred adjective, then?"

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

You're a demon.

[He's not even going there, but it's the principle.]

[orlokbutterfly]

Oh noooo. Dancing. What a terrible fate that must befall those poor students. You monster.

[That sarcasm. Can you hear it just oozing from his tone?]

voice;

[peacecraft]

[ who else would still call him that after everything that happened? dorothy doesn't count ]

Have you been here this whole time?

voice;

[count_to_peace]

[Noin.]

I've been here around two months. That's all the time I've spent here.

[count_to_peace]

There really isn't a need to attach an adjective.

[Voice]

[count_to_peace]

I've been called worse.

[youfool]

Well, if you like that, there's no 'need' for ballroom dancing, is there? However do you describe her to people without adjectives? Just the name and naught else?

voice;

[count_to_peace]

[Yes, it's very clear, thank you.]

Do you plan to enroll?

[count_to_peace]

These are the policies of the school. I have no control over them, but am expected to reinforce them.

She isn't an object. Her name will do just fine.

voice;

[orlokbutterfly]

Probably not, I'm a little old for school.

[He just likes sassing people.]

Why is dancing a requirement? You guys just one of those high end noble schools or somethin'?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Why is that required anyway?

[youfool]

[He can't even]

"...you've all the modesty of emaciation. Tell me something more than bondage and duty motivates you to teach."

voice;

[peacecraft]

Two months. How is it that I'm just now finding out that you're here?

[...ballroom dancing. Huh.]

I suppose they'll need it when they move up in the world.

[count_to_peace]

[Likewise!]

Someone has to take the initiative of best education the future generations.

voice;

[count_to_peace]

Are you really surprised that I've been so close without you aware?

[He's done it most of her life, really.]

[Voice]

[count_to_peace]

I don't see why it shouldn't be, but it's required due to the amount of formal gatherings there tend to be.

voice;

[count_to_peace]

Most academies such as this one have it as a standard requirement. You'd be surprised how many formal gatherings involve actual dancing in this style.
