People seem to be cheering up, which is always good. I guess Halloween's to blame~ Reminds me of being in America. I wish I still had some of the old photographs from Chibisuke's trick-or-treating, he was so cute all dressed up and trying to be scary! So small and very non-threatening~ Not that he's changed much, of course.

WARNING.

Two students were violently assaulted on the school grounds this afternoon. It seems the culprits were a student of the camp and one outsider. Neither has been found yet; until the situation has been resolved, be careful and do not stray far from the main buildings, especially not alone.

ETA: To all the questions: No, I'm not telling who it is. I'm sure you'll all notice soon enough, considering they can't exactly attend classes from the hospital. And yes, it's that bad.

...From this day on, I'll be going by the name Northlake instead of Echizen.

Yes, I have my reasons. No, Chibisuke, it doesn't have anything to do with you.

It seems something came up, so I'm not leaving after all. Don't worry, kids, your favourite sensei isn't abandoning you for the rest of the break despite his threats~ You shall all enjoy my glorious wit here day in, day out.

...Before you get too triumphant, old man, this's got nothing to do with you.

Got something of a scare yesterday. Never do that again, Chibisuke, got it? ♥ Good boy.

This obviously postpones my summer break plans a bit... but no matter. I'm still going to America for the rest of the break. Yes, America. I've got a person to find.

My little brother is cute and needs to have his hair ruffled. That is all.

Stolen from my dearest little brother, because I vuw him so.

...Nah, it's actually because the meme asked for it. Which of course doesn't make my previous statement untrue.

IF YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. You are obviously on my flist, so let me know with whom I'm friends!

( The questions~ )

I'm kind of proud of my little brother. It's always so touching to see them growing up, wouldn't you all agree? Those cute little kids with their first attempts at dating... Really, it's just heartwarming!

That said, Dan-kun, I think I'll spare you any traditional big brotherly warning lectures and the like. I'm sure if you turn out to be a little bastard in lamb's clothing, after all, Chibi-suke will be more than capable of getting back at you himself. ♥

And in honour of this, you all have an essay to write~ The title? "Young Love and Hormones".

Okay, kids~ Next week, I'll be joining Kame-sensei in furthering your education in one of the most important fields of your lives. ...That's right, sex ed isn't over yet. What, you thought a couple of giggles and an encounter with bananas was all you'd have to face? Nah, by the time we're done, you'll know all you can be reasonably expected to know about sex. We want you to be informed, after all.

( Private to Ryoma )

(OOC: As a gift from his angel, Tachibana's getting... a couple of books about dating. Nanjirou's surely burdened his son with some to get him some action, and Ryoga's observed that Tachibana still belongs to the ever diminishing number of single people at the camp.)

...I can't believe I'm doing this. And I hope you're really sure you want to know...
