[He's sitting in his lab, typing on his phone, his expression set in a frown. After hitting 'send' he sets it down and leans back in his chair. The lighting is dim, making it hard to see his expression, but he lets out a soft and heavy sigh]

I guess no one's even noticed.

Pff, fine.

Do you actually give a shit, Adachi?

Well, at first I think, "Nope, definitely don't give a shit" and then I remember that you did get me out of jail and it's just weird for you to look like that anyway. So. Yeah.

[screwloose]

Well, that's sweet of you.

Hey, I try. Not very hard, but there you go.

[Locked]

[screwloose]

That's obvious.

Anyway, I was just annoyed because one of my students just joined and he hadn't noticed I was missing the last several months.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. ...Ouch. Er. What, you didn't leave them any message at all?

[Locked]

[screwloose]

Not really. I was stark raving mad at the time and more concerned with using a scalpel to forcibly extract the hallucinations from my brain than with leaving a nice note.

Birkin came and got me from house arrest when he realized I'd gone nuts and been locked up.

...Oh. And nobody bothered to check on the guy under house arrest? Geez.

To be fair, Kid's a student. But he's Shinigami-sama's son so he's well-connected to hear rumours.

I guess I would have thought that when someone noticed I was gone, people would be sent to find me. That would be something the students would be asked to do.

I suppose, but parents hardly ever tell their kids what's going on if they can help it.

So you're all sad because nobody bothered to look for you?

[Locked]

[screwloose]

That's not really how it works at Shibusen. Those kids go on dangerous missions in which they could die every day. They don't get to know everything, but they are involved.

I'm not 'all sad'. It was just surprising.

Huh. I thought I had a shitty time at high school.

Well, surprised, whatever. I guess I didn't realise it'd bother you that much.

[Locked]

[screwloose]

Did you? I loved school, eventually. I hated my teachers and classmates, but I enjoyed learning to be a weapon meister.

It didn't bother me that much! I just...commented.

[Locked]

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

It's all right if you like what you learn. I just had to study all the time, it wasn't exactly a bundle of fun.

You know, I'm not exactly gonna judge you if you are bothered by it.

Re: [Locked]

[screwloose]

I didn't mind studying. I just hated being treated the same as everyone else and being forced to follow arbitrary rules. I'm not much for labels.

When I break and start sobbing into my cups, I'll let you know.

[Locked]

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

As if anyone couldn't tell that anyway. So why did you bother becoming a teacher if you didn't like all that?

Sure, I'm here for you.

[Locked]

[screwloose]

I did a favour for Shinigami-sama. Besides, I get to do pretty much whatever I like as a teacher, so it's not a problem. So long as I make my students stronger, I can hold dissections every day! Besides, it's fun to beat them up.

I'm not dignifying that with a comment.

[Locked]

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Well, you've definitely got your priorities straight, I see.

Aw, be like that then.

[Locked]

[screwloose]

Of course I do.
