Well, I will make certain to remind you to bring your wrist gun of mass insect annihilation back to school on Monday, rest assured.

[originallutece]

Aren't you glad you were assigned to me? You wouldn't have these kinds of conversations with other professors.

. . . most other professors.

Anyway, the point of this is you ought to be impressed, I got quite good in the span of an afternoon.

[roseblooms]

You're being modest. You call it being assigned, I remember it as a veritable academic bloodbath of trying to prove myself worthy and fit for the position.

Speaking of which, when have you ever known me NOT to be impressed by you?

[originallutece]

And you proved yourself magnificently.

[But oh, that compliment gets her smiling. Truth be told, she'd known he appreciated her academically, but it's one thing to know he's read her papers; it's another to hear that he's apparently been actively impressed by her for ages.]

And I had no idea you were so consistently impressed. I'm flattered.

[roseblooms]

You're an impressive person.

That's not always a positive, to be sure, but it is assuredly always a constant.

[originallutece]

Sorry, not always a positive?

[roseblooms]

I'm occasionally impressed by the magnitude of your poor life choices.

1/2

(USER IS TYPING)

2/3

[originallutece]

. . .

(USER IS TYPING)

[originallutece]

Just because I am dedicated to what I do doesn't mean they're poor life choices.

[roseblooms]

Are you still at the lab right now?

[originallutece]

I don't see why I ought to tell you either way.

[roseblooms]

The defense is withholding evidence, your honor.

[originallutece]

Only because the prosecution is being a prat.

Yes, I am.

[roseblooms]

And yet it's late enough that you thought to ask ME whether or not I'm in bed.

[originallutece]

I haven't been able to work in five days.

[roseblooms]

That's the standard length of a midterm break.

Honestly, you and Seto really are two of a kind.

[originallutece]

He's a boy who doesn't like to waste his time, there's nothing wrong with that.

Fawkes, do you imagine I don't work during breaks?

[roseblooms]

Break (n.): a pause in work or during an activity or event.

[originallutece]

Don't get fresh. What precisely do you want me to do, fly down to some beach and destroy my skin in the sun?

[roseblooms]

I could set you up with a new save file on one of my video games.

You could enjoy the unique thrill of attempting to catch 'em all.

[originallutece]

That sounds like something I'd either get frustrated with or obsessed with. I don't suppose you have something simple?

[roseblooms]

There really aren't many RPGs simpler than Pokemon. The games are designed for children and they all but lead you by the nose straight through the plot.

I suppose I could set you up with Tetris, though.

[originallutece]

Don't be fresh, I just said. The very nature of a collecting game means it won't be easy, and if I can't finish it in five days, I'll be quite annoyed.

Do you have something shorter?

[roseblooms]

Let me clarify first, when you say "finish" do you mean "a full and perfect complete"?

You could assuredly finish Pokemon in five days, but perhaps not with 100% completion.
