[ Oyez, oyez, oyez, you’ve got a call on your magical crystal. Pick up the phone and you’ll see Glee, looking serene, confident, and in her element in (1) organizing things and (2) telling people what to do. ]

It has been almost two months since we were conscripted by ALASTAIR, and we have yet to meet, introduce ourselves, and discuss what we’ve learned in person and in an orderly fashion. In light of recent… developments, increased cooperation will become a necessity to pool what we’ve learned and plan a deliberate way forward.

I expect all of you at the red warehouse between the commoner's district and the outskirts, six days from now at sundown. For those of you inclined to provoke tensions with local law enforcement, incarceration is not an excuse for tardiness or absence.

_{[ Suddenly raising his hand on the other side of the screen, Gintoki speaks with the typical disinterest in his voice. ]}

Shoth-sensei, does that mean Friday's homework is also due? What is the penalty if somebody hypothetically doesn't get it done in time?
_{[ He is .. joking, but it's hard to tell with such a dry expression he wears. Perhaps homework means something else. He does genuinely thinks Glee's idea could be a good one, trust me. ]}

[ There are a lot of nonsense words in that sentence, but she gets the gist of them and of the tone. She's not even particularly irritated. There's nothing wrong with being a teacher. ]

Since you brought it up, prepare a report on something about Chantes that you know better than anyone else, and submit it to me in text by Friday. I'm not inclined to deal in hypotheticals.

[ Her eyes crinkle a little at the corners, the tiny hallmark of a suppressed smile. ]

Thank you for speaking up to volunteer.

In double spaced, 12 point lettering, right? That's how you teachers like it?

[ Those are more words she doesn't understand, but her composure stays cool. ]

Keep it neat and complete, and I won't complain.

[naturallywavy]

... Do I get a passing grade if I do something like this? Hey, extra recess maybe?
_{[ yeah, just playing right along here. ]}

[becauses]

No.

This is the job you were hired to do.

[ The homework part is new, but at least he'll learn from the experience. Ahad will shake his head slowly, before speaking. ]

I do hope you're prepared for an assignment, now that you've challenged her.

[naturallywavy]

Oi, oi. I've heard it before. Nothing scares me. Go ahead, tell me I've got detention. I'm used to it.
_{[ just gonna keep playing along ... ]}

[dailydouble]

Have you done something that deserves detention?

[ He can play along with this, too. ]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ What a small question that would allow him to provide a loaded answer. It's a pity he isn't one to open up so easily. ]}

I napped in class all the time.
I'll get my homework in when it's a timely manner for me and I have something nice to present.

it could be by Friday, it could be not.
_{[ what a brat. ]}

[dailydouble]

I could care less what you do, especially if you have nothing of interest to present.

[ Let's keep extending this metaphor... ]
