video; this guy is back i guess

[roses_are_blue]

[Suddenly, a man with a strange seaweed hair style. He looked rather upset, or did he? It was unclear. Because at some degree, Garry was happy about being back; but there was a very big confusion. Garry could've sworn this place seemed far more different than when he last left. Then he saw the calendar, and well.]

I...I don't believe this! How could so much time have passed since I left! I was only gone for a couple weeks and now this place tells me it's been months??

That makes no sense!! I didn't want to have been gone for so long, now the school year is over!

[He took a moment to then calm himself down. Forgetting that this meant there were those who didn't know him, or hadn't seen him for a while. This made for a great impression/return to the school. Garry had to recover, quick. After all, he wanted to come back to the crazy. People he missed and the teaching he missed, let's not screw this up.]

Anyway-! I'm Garry and I'm your old, er, or new Painting teacher. Nice to meet you all, or see you again. Whichever!

Aaaah, I suppose if anyone still needs me before the school year for anything, let me know!

Oh gosh, I'm so embarrassed.

You are somehow disappointed to have missed classes as opposed to enjoying what the summer will give you for time.

[And another unsightly human.]

That hardly makes sense.

[roses_are_blue]

[Excuse you.]

I enjoyed teaching, though. I'm not saying summer is bad but to think it's been only a couple weeks back home and I must've missed far too much longer than that here? It's just disturbing.

[insanecharisma]

It is not as if you will never instruct again. I imagine you will survive the suns and moons fine.

[roses_are_blue]

I wasn't gone though for as long as this place claims I have.

I expected to come back and it not be many months later, after all.

[Was he not clear about his frustrations? He knew maybe he acted silly but he hoped his confusion at least made some sense.]

[insanecharisma]

This sort of thing seems to happen occasionally. I suppose it would be jarring and rather disorienting. Yet, it happened and there is naught you can do to change it. Make the best of it, instructor.

[roses_are_blue]

Oh...

[He had the feeling he just got scolded like a child, and to be honest, he felt like he deserved it. He just threw an unnecessary temper when he was supposed to be the adult.

He knew he couldn't help it sometimes, but that was besides the point. He understood where those frustrations were, and was really being straight with him.]

I see, perhaps I was acting very childishly. I should know how this place works; unexpected.

My temper was unnecessary, sorry.

[insanecharisma]

[Soryk's an ace at scolding people. What a friendly guy.]

Apologies are empty, boy. Make the best of your situation. At least you have not died.

[roses_are_blue]

[And Garry thought he had a scolding problem. He felt that.]

I understand but did you need to be so brutal?

[insanecharisma]

Yes. That is in my nature and I do not intend to change it for your benefit. Or anyone else's.

[Except Zelda. And that's a secret.]

[roses_are_blue]

Well...regardless, I see what you mean. I suppose that's all that matters.

[A little rude, sure. But he was being straight forward with "advice", when he didn't have to.]

You didn't have to say anything but you did anyway, so I'm grateful.

[insanecharisma]

True enough, yet I find that the less I speak, the more difficulties those here seem to get themselves into.

[A little harsh truth has sometimes been for the greater good.]

[roses_are_blue]

[Garry wasn't sure where this guy was coming from, and first impressions can mean everything and nothing. For now, he was unsure of what to make of this fellow.]

Well, if what happened to me was any indication, things just sort of happen here anyway sometimes.

[insanecharisma]

That, they most certainly do. Yet you seem a bright man. Somehow I do imagine you shall manage.

[roses_are_blue]

[Trying to determine whether or not that was sarcasm, and Garry won't comment on that.]

For a while, I suppose I did fair. I mean, I don't have any flashy superpowers or any experience fighting. I'm still kicking.

[insanecharisma]

Quite obviously you are.

[But Soryk's done what he meant to do and he's never been one for tarrying along.]

A most esteemed welcome back to you then, Instructor.

[roses_are_blue]

Ah, right. Thank you then.

[Opinion on this man was up in the air but, eh. He got more than what he expected, he supposed.]
