18th Howl: After School Numbers Club, Summer School Edition [Action | Open]

[professorwolf]

Summer school got out earlier than school during the year proper, so Lyall had his classroom open from one until five in the afternoon, in case any students wanted to come by. There were a few games and a few decks of cards, and plenty of snacks, most of which he browsed on while he worked.

Lyall himself had some finishing up to do, as this was the last week of summer session, and he was leaving the week after anyway, so he needed to get everything graded and turned in early. So he was busy, but always ready to take a break if someone wanted or needed to chat.

Up to and including fellow teachers, one of which came by halfway through the afternoon acting very strangely....


((I'll have one thread for the oddly-acting teacher, that a couple people can join in with if they want to! this is plotty stuff :) otherwise, feel free make new threads if you wanna come visit!))

Comments

"Like how she was moving all wrong when she ran away?" Lyall guessed, frowning at the door in further concern. "I don't know what that could... mean." The thought of vermini infecting a person in any kind of subtle fashion like that hadn't occurred to him, so he could only guess that maybe she had become one of them in a rather uncomfortable way and had found him on the network.

"Maybe I should call her sooner than later," he commented.

A conclusion Alex had also come to.

"Maybe," he agreed, tapping his finger against the table. "She might be like us now."

Lyall hadn't been shy about his identity over the network. Plus, he was a nice guy. Alex could understand why a coworker with (comparatively) strange changes would want to connect with him over it.

"That was my thought," Lyall agreed. "It isn't like my name isn't plastered all over the network, after all, and she'd know where to find me... and she might have missed you being on there. Though that would be tricky, too." He eyed Alex with a little amusement.

"Anyway, that's for later. Forn now, bring that cake in. I'll share it around, and take whatever's left over home to Hajime. He'll probably appreciate it."
