You know, in lieu of pointing out that I did actually warn that Count Atronto might not be the fine, upstanding philanthropist that he claimed to be, I'm just going to suggest that we all take advantage of our current placement and get 'crunk', as it were.
The mess of 'spare parts' being assembled into some grotesque monstrosity is one thing.
But discovering that there's an almost-exact genetic copy of Dean von Kyphos in the world is enough to drive a teetotaler to drink.
I really hope they have a decent Scotch.
Refraining from saying 'I told you so',

It seems, at least, that our latest end of term catastrophe has at least seen fit to provide us breathing room to prepare and take stock.
So, per an excellent suggestion care of Miss Hero, I thought it might be a good idea to put together a post wherein people can share tips and pointers for whatever bizarre twist of fate we inevitably find ourselves up against. Obviously, we're all familiar with standard emergency protocol, but I imagine there are some more obscure, bizarre but nonetheless useful facts that could be shared amongst the student body.
For instance;
- Carry multiple weapons and make sure that each one is carried at a point you can reach easily. Edged weapons can get stuck in tough hides very easily and trying to pull it free will leave you vulnerable to attack.
- Kah'parr demons recoil in fright from high-pitched noises. A decent shriek will make them turn tail and flee.
- The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is 24 miles per hour.
People should, of course, feel free to add their own. |

I think I'm starting to warn to American alcohol. Thanksdiving is still a bit much, though. Really, just wait for christmas. No wonder you're all fat.
I'm sorry I've been such a wanker recntly to everyone. It was my wicked stepmother.

Well, I suppose by now the wagons are circling and what have you and it might be for the best to prepare a case for my defense.
So, in my defense, I thought she wanted it. I mean, look at how she dresses.
Yours,

Well.
Another break between terms, another few weeks wasted away doing nothing particularly productive. Were Bishop not so feckless himself, I imagine I would have been flogged by now.
I had hoped to use the time to catch up on my reading but a nagging headache and a severe lack of sleep have both managed to get in the way there. I've actually found myself watching television to pass the time. Which, Dear God, has been a mistake on many, many levels.
Watching 'True Blood' was... I'm not sure even sure how much, but it's a segment of my life I will never get back. Really, it was awful.
Consider this a cry for help, then. Are there any budding academics out there with a remedy for insistant insomnia and migraines? Something stronger than what I could just get at a pharmacist's?
In pain,
Godfrey Smythe-Higgins. |

Oh, really now.
I feel it best to respond to the wild allegations that the recent GossipNet has set against me, if only for the sake of my political standing.
I am a dedicated, hardworking student and I value my ethics and morality a great deal. The idea that I was the one who sought to poison Mister Harris and Miss Andreatta is simply absurd. It would be laughable if it weren't for the incident's hurtful and delicate nature.
And had I been trying to poison Billy, he would be dead now. The Caine Academy does not produce failures.

Well, given that my candidacy for Gothics Representative has been announced, it seems that it would be best to announce the issues I will be basing said candidacy upon;
Equality; The premiere issue for me and, I assume, everyone else in the running for the position. Fitting as it tends to be one of the biggest issues facing our faculty; Hunter vs. Hunted. I'm hoping that my point of view on the matter would serve me well as a representative. Some view me as a human, some view me as a demon, some see me as a mix of the two. I've hunted and I've been hunted (I'd elaborate on that matter, but it's one of Billy's favourite stories to tell and I'm certain he'd pout). As such, I've learnt that there is no black or white when it comes to this matter, no outright good and no truly malicious evil.
It seems a rather simplistic statement to make, I realise. But it's something I'd keep at the forefront of my duties as a representative, a true lack of prejudice.
Diligence; I put everything I have into everything I undertake and, at the risk of sound smug, much like my dexteral prowess the energy and effort I put into those tasks is thrice that of a normal person's. If I'm elected, I can assure that I won't rest until each duty assigned to my role as representative is settled to the majority of the faculty's satisfaction. That may seem like boasting, but I assure you it's more a testament to the fact that I'm a fairly pathetic young man without much in the way of a social life to distract me from my obligations.
In short, I promise to work so hard for the faculty that it will more than likely become tiresome.
And that would be my platform. Hard work and a lack of judgement. A fairly simple platform to run upon, but I feel it best sums up what I have to offer. I'll gladly field any questions/concerns the faculty may have. |

Well, I for one am glad that the term has started up. As languishing on the Bishop sofa has left my mental faculties in a steady state of decline, I am not joking when I say that I came this close to watching MTV. Thankfully I came to my senses at the last second and saved myself the horror. I suspect that had I gone through with it, I would currently be spouting 'brah's like there was no tomorrow. So all the better than I have some proper mental stimulation now.
In the interest of putting it out there for discussion (and as a reminder to myself, as there were so many courses I wanted to take that I feel I need to keep track of which I decided to stick with), feel free to browse the banality of my course choices for this term;
World History I. (It only seemed apt, given my general uselessness when it came to discerning our area and general timeframe during our little 'misadventure).
Civics.
Personal Development. (Sadly inescapable).
Hand-to-Hand Combat II. (It only seems natural to carry this one on to the next level).
Armed Combat. (I didn't do too poorly last term, but a refresher is always good. Especially if I can get some pointers for my Katana).
Creatures of the World: The Americas. (A fairly useful course considering our career, and one that seems like it will be fascinating to say the least).
Arcane Languages I. (Again, seems like it could prove fruitful in the future.
Congratulations to William, of course. I promise to curtail my wild, partying ways and make your job easier.
Looking forward to seeing you all in classes,
Godfrey Smythe-Higgins.
PS. Be warned all, Billy is still sulking about the Scavenger Hunt. It's rather pathetic really, big girl's blouse.
PPS. The statement preceding this one was an outright lie. Billy is not sulking and is handling the tie in a noble, manly manner.
PPPS. Actually, that one was a lie. |

Well, that was interesting.
Interesting and slightly tiring, so I think I'm going to sleep for the next few days at the very least. I'll cross my fingers (all twenty-four) that nothing like that happens again, but if it does (and it more than likely will) call for me?

Great Monsters in Literature; Wednesday.
Western History; Thursday.
Personal Development; Thursday.
Hand-to-Hand Combat; Thursday.
Monsterous Cultures and Ethics; Thursday.
Armed Combat; Friday.
All in all, I'm fairly confident that I'll perform to my best of my abilities. I've studied diligently and my notes cover most of what I think I'll need. Still, Thursday seems as though it will be daunting at best.
Billy, what would I have to offer to get a good, peaceful night of sleep on Wednesday? Off the top of my head I can think of the following;
- Free rein with the fan-mail, even the particularly 'lurid' one
- Giving the guns a full cleaning and service, the knives a sharpening, etc.
- Sorting through the recordings to find that footage from New Mexico and uploading it.
- Organizing your notes so that you can study. Because you should, no matter what you might think.
If none of these options appeal, I will, of course, resort to lacing your beer that night with as many over the counter sleeping pills as I can fin
Studiously,
Godfrey Smythe-Higgins. |
