[The video is started up to show a man making himself comfortable in what can only be the faculty-only recreation area. There's an not-quite-amused-not-quite-smile on his face as he leans back.]

Morning, everyone, your favorite groundskeeper has returned from his trip back home. You kids have all been behaving while I was gone, right? [There's a raised eyebrow here that indicates no matter what answer he gets, he's not going to be too inclined to believe it. His expression then shifts to a more neutral one, but... that might be a hint of mild irritation?]

... Now what's all this I've heard about doors getting taken off their hinges?

[voice]

[ironoxides]

Wasn't me.

[notveryknightly]

I have a feeling I know who it was and you're not them so you're definitely off the hook.

[ironoxides]

Sweet.

That'd be too much work and fresh air for me, anyway.

[notveryknightly]

Somehow, I'd figure as much. [He chuckles.]

So, anything else I've missed, Rust?

[ironoxides]

You know you can't count on me for things like that, you nerd.
Unless you're asking about the state of my bedroom.

[notveryknightly]

Well, it was worth a try.

... Though, how is your room looking anyway?

[byeontae_geomi]

Ah, I missed you, pretty janitor. It's been so dull not having you around to tease~

[notveryknightly]

Nice to see you, too, Juri.

But knowing you, I'm sure you've got plenty of ways of having fun without needing me to be around. Scare the pants off any freshmeat around here lately?

[byeontae_geomi]

A lot always poor in once finals are over and they're done at their old schools. So, yep. A lot.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

[Hey, she needs the hardware, okay?]

No clue what you're talking about, chief.

[notveryknightly]

I think I have a feeling who might've done it anyway, so you've got nothing to worry about, missy.

You just transfer in or something? I don't think I've seen you around before.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

[So long as someone else takes the blame!]

Yeah...Waitaminute, do you know everyone on this campus or something? There's no way.

[notveryknightly]

Well, maybe not everyone, but pretty darn close to it. I know enough people to know a new face when I see one.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

I was gonna call you a liar if you knew everyone. No one's that good.

Someone thought it would be a clever prank to squirrel away doors at random. In any case, it's been settled by now, and a quick check back would confirm all the details for you. Do try to keep up.

[notveryknightly]

Easy, Charm, I just got back. No need to lay into a guy who's still feeling jet lag.

[penaltykicktothehead]

Making an announcement like this implies you've had ample time logged into the network to prepare it. You're telling me it never occurred to you to check back one or two posts before asking stupid questions?

And it's Charlie.

[notveryknightly]

No such thing as stupid questions, Charm, only stupid answers.

It was just meant to be a conversation starter anyway. Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

[Lalala~ Entirely ignoring the insistence on her actual name.]

[penaltykicktothehead]

[Just going to ignore that first bit because DIFFERING OPINIONS HMPH.]

Charlie. Consider this one started, then. And finished quite soon, I'd wager, since the answer to your so eloquently-worded question would be none of your business.

How was the trip?

[soccerwhisperer]

Good morning! Welcome back!

[notveryknightly]

Heh, thanks, kid. I haven't missed anything too interesting since I left, have I?

[soccerwhisperer]

Nnn... Someone made that... Friends of Humanity website all funny looking.

[notveryknightly]

Oh, yeah, I think I heard about that one on the news. Props to those who did it.

[He got a good laugh out of it at least.]

[soccerwhisperer]

Hehe, no one knows who!
