Riddle 021: Angel Aftermath

[Well, Edward's back from Westport, and he's definitely a little worse for the wear. This hasn't exactly been a very fun couple of days for him. As soon as he gets home, he shrugs off his coat, hangs his hat and his cane on the rack, and makes his way to the phone.]

[Public Call, standard filters in play]


This is Edward Nigma. I'm... back from Westport. I haven't heard too many things about what happened here in my absence, but I can't imagine it was very pleasant. Those of you in my Ethics class will no doubt be relieved to hear that I'm canceling tomorrow's class. Perhaps I might cancel a few classes next week as well, if I'm not fully recovered by then.

Your assignment for this weekend is to write a page or so on... Hmm. "What do you feel is the worst decision you've ever made?" ...that'll work. You can just leave them on my desk at school, if you wish; I'll collect them and grade them over the weekend.

[Private Call, filtered to the Legion of Doom]

I trust you're well, ladies and gentlemen?

...I'll be honest with you. This angel business has caused a major setback in our plans. If possible, I’d like to call another meeting to order at some point within the next two weeks. As an organization... we need to give ourselves more structure.

As for our meeting place? Well, I won’t hesitate to admit that my basement was not a Grade-A rendezvous point for our location. Still... I’d say I’m smart enough to have already found a much better spot. I’m a real class act, after all. Aren’t I?

[Action, for the Death House. Susan, Slugger, Terezi, or anyone else who may have crashed there during the angel takeover, feel free to run into Edward as he does his best to recuperate. He takes a shower and shaves his face, then comes downstairs in warm, clean clothes to make himself a massive lunch.]

Generally speaking, when one says that they're canceling a class, that implies that neither the teacher nor the student are required to attend.

Though I can't speak for the rest of your teachers.

Aw, come on, I have your class in the middle of the day! I won't even have time to come home and take a break in that time.

You're seriously evil!

Take that up with your other professors. Not me.

You planned this, didn't you? You totally did.

Look. You try coming back from half-a-week in some---some post-apocalyptic warzone and tell me that you'll be ready to come to work the next day, fresh as a daisy.

Question: Do you think you can you do that? Hmm? No? Didn't think so.

Right. I'm sure your life is pretty bad. I'll poor a cup of pity tea for the super-villain.

You have---

...you know what? Just for that, I'd like you to write five pages. Not one.

Wait- what?! Can you do that? You can't--

Okay, you just went to number one of my meanest teachers list.

I'm sure you have plenty of bad decisions in your life to choose from. Enjoy your weekend, now.

[Enjoy your F then.]
