[This message flickers onto the network late at night, once Waver's had a chance to both check his mail and read the book delivered to him.]

Who the hell left that in my mailbox.

I am not playing games. I am not remotely pleased. If I ever find out who you are, I'm going to throttle you. And if it was an administrator, I'll do much worse than that.

[Waver didn't linger on the network for very long after posting; he eventually stormed off carrying the book in question and wearing a disturbingly calm expression.]

[action; floor fifty-five]

[Why was there an incinerator here and could it possibly come to life and kill him? Who cared? Certainly not the Clock Tower's favorite professor. Who, by the way, to be slowly coming apart from 'tranquil fury' to just plain fury as he threw his newly received book into the incinerator as hard as he could.]

Fucking tower. [He reached up to something at the level of his collarbone--a pendant hidden under his shirt, apparently. Satisfied it was still there, the magus lowered his hand and turned sharply to head back to the dorm floors.]

Kariya's so lucky to have such a high-ranking and prominent rule!

I'll kill them!

They killed Aoi, so--I'll kill them.

[His laughter and coughing suddenly turn into what sounds like sobbing.]

You don't understand... they're everything to me.

it is a monument to his failure

[fionnuisce]

Why wouldn't I understand? I have plenty to go back to, so of course I'm angry it's gone. But I'm not going to outright assume that's it and I can't get anything back. And I'm not just going to start slaughtering people, administrator or not.

At least he got a monument!

[vermicompost]

But you don't understand--you couldn't--or you wouldn't talk that way!

I love them more than anything.

I'll kill them. You don't have to.

[fionnuisce]

I understand perfectly well, but this isn't going to solve a damn thing! You need to snap out of it and screw your head back on properly!
