Mrs. Sakaki, I'd like to request your help with something, to hopefully make sure something doesn't blow up into a larger mess.

[danse_etoile]

And I assume I'm free to go?

[duelacademynpcs]

Oh of course, of course, madam. I don't see a need for more violence than necessary.

[sakaki_family_values]

Alright. We will take our leave for now then.

As a reminder, this is in exchange for you finding alternate ways to study us, that isn't abducting and dissecting people.

[duelacademynpcs]

Of course, madam. No humans will be harmed.

I am nobility. I honor my word.

::Sweeping bow.::

[danse_etoile]

Of course.

::Motions to Yoko.::

I suggest we leave ASAP though.

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko nods at Asuka and then begins walking towards the door.*

Alright. We'll be on our way now.

[duelacademynpcs]

Very well. I'll be collapsing this space. So I'd advise leaving sooner rather than later.

[danse_etoile]

::Beat.::

... Mrs. Sakaki, how fast can you run?

[sakaki_family_values]

...hopefully fast enough.

Let's get the hell outta here!

[danse_etoile]

::Runs!::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko runs as fast as she can!*

[duelacademynpcs]

::The school behind you seems to be vanishing, folding like a house of cards.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko runs as fast as she can from the collapsing reality behind her!*

[danse_etoile]

::As does Asuka!

It looks like there's a normal hallway you know isn't made of ghosts and lies! Just sprint aa bit harder, though it feels like you two might need to jump!::

[sakaki_family_values]

I think we need to jump to make it!!

Ready....! NOW!!

*As soon as she gets to the point she feels she needs to jump, she takes a leap towards the normal hallway!*

[danse_etoile]

RIGHT!

::LEAPS. We both tumble onto the hallway, as the corridor collapses into crimson space and then the wall forms back.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*After tumbling on to the floor, Yoko moves so that she is leaning against a wall, while trying to catch her breath.*

Geez, I am not as young as I used to be...

*After a moment, her breathing calms down as she glances towards where the weird hallway and room had been.*

...Is he gone for good, or do you think we'll see him again?

[danse_etoile]

... I'm. Not sure.

Though. I do get the feeling while he'll honor the letter of the deal, he'll twist the meaning. ... Hrm.

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko gives out a sigh.*

Probably.

I guess we'll just have to be cautious in case he shows up again.

[danse_etoile]

Agreed. But at least. He's. Reasonable. "Reasonable".

[sakaki_family_values]

Yes, at least it seems we can talk to and reason with him.

*With that, she stands up.*

The students are waiting in my office, so we should get them home to their worried families.

[danse_etoile]

Yeah.

And I'll. Handle any paperwork. But I need to breathe.

[sakaki_family_values]

Take what time you need, then we'll head back to my office.

*She chuckles a bit.*

Gotta admit, working here certainly isn't boring.

[danse_etoile]

... Is this any more or less crazy than how things used to go for you back in the day.

::Chuckles.::

[sakaki_family_values]

I think both have their own level of crazy. Though back in the day I just beat up my problems, not negotiated with them.

But I guess that's called 'character growth'.

Though if he'd threatened us or the kids in anyway, this baseball bat would've been swung at his head.
