A black widow, am I?

Comments

[shadesofgray]

A more than accurate title I would say.

[secretmakes_a]

Oh?

[shadesofgray]

Hn. Your history with your daughter speaks for itself. [...No comment.]

So your mun sent you to 'Hogwarts' as well then. Somehow, I can't feel surprised about that. [Not more than the black widow comment at least...]

[secretmakes_a]

Popular fandom belief is that I never had a daughter--now how is that like a black widow.

It would seem so.

[shadesofgray]

In theory you would have had a husband as well...

And- in theory of course- he's conveniently 'missing'. [The expression he wears has yet to change...]

And just what does your mun have you 'teaching' then. [Not that he can't guess...]

[secretmakes_a]

He's not 'missing' Gin, he's buried in a cemetery somewhere in Los Angeles.


Health and medicine.

[shadesofgray]

You know what I meant, 'Vermouth'. [Have the usual glare, you... ...You.] And we both know the answer.

[And what.] Health and-

[...] Hn. I wonder which is worse- teaching brat-children about 'health' or about 'self-defense'. [Tch.

Is it clear he's in a fouler mood than normal? If only without a decent target]

[secretmakes_a]

You probably have more frustrating job.

[shadesofgray]

In some ways...

In others I have the 'fortune' of watching idiots punch each other in the face.

[secretmakes_a]

As their teacher it's your job to ensure they don't get injured.

[shadesofgray]

As their 'self-defense teacher', sparring is part of the curriculum.

[secretmakes_a]

Just be sure to send them to the nurse and not to me.

[shadesofgray]

Hn.

Strangely enough, I have just enough pity in the brats to do that.

[secretmakes_a]

It will be my job to teach them to take care of their own injuries-with any luck they'll be able to do just that.

ffffff shouldn't have watched all that snarky comedy, it's affecting Gin-

[shadesofgray]

[Pffffff hah. Right.

WELL.] 'Luck'. [Mm.] They can hardly find their way without a stick...

And you think they can take care of themselves.

/pats

[secretmakes_a]

Then it won't be so hard to get rid them should we need too, now will it?

[shadesofgray]

... [There's a slight... Very slight bit of incredulity, but not at the implications so much as the source.]

That implies they're actually threats.

[secretmakes_a]

Oh? Don't tell me you have a soft spot for children.

[shadesofgray]

Hn!

If there's no point, it's a waste of my time.

I'd rather be doing something useful. [Such as getting back to work. With the organization.

And possibly finding out what YOU'RE up to...]

[secretmakes_a]

Who knows, that person might show up at some point and you know how they like us to be... thorough

[shadesofgray]

If it's 'thorough', then they've obviously become a threat, then haven't they.

[...He would definitely prefer it if 'that person' were here though. Make it feel less like there was an executioner waiting for when he got back.]

[secretmakes_a]

I seem to recall being told to take out entire families before-including those that had absolutely nothing to do with the crimes against us.

[shadesofgray]

And each one was tied into things somehow. [Such as leverage. Or getting in the way.

If any child managed to somehow do that then yes, off they went.]

[secretmakes_a]

Either way- we will be dealing with mostly teenagers, you realize. Teenagers tend to get nosy.

[shadesofgray]

Hn.

Then if they have any sense of self-preservation, they'll keep their noses out.

Otherwise, I'll be scratching some names off the attendance sheet, since they obviously don't 'exist'. [...alsohe'sprobablyforgottenthem.

Shhhhh.]

[secretmakes_a]

Death isn't permanent from what my mun has told me.

[shadesofgray]

Then they'll have to 'forget' a few things in addition to it.

[Evidently, even not remembering WHY they're a target still leaves them a target.]

[modernholmes]

So you are coming to this place as well.

[secretmakes_a]

Don't look like that, you have much bigger things to worry about.

After all, the reason my mun was convinced to apply for me was because of a certain other someone that will be joining.

[modernholmes]

I could hardly miss hearing about that.

[secretmakes_a]

But even then, he probably won't even recognize you.

[modernholmes]

You'll pardon me for not finding much reassurance in that.

[secretmakes_a]

He doesn't remember the names or faces of those he's killed. Just don't let him see you too often since he's the type that doesn't believe in coincidences.

[modernholmes]

I had already planned on that.

[Though knowing these muns he did not put much hope in that lasting for long.]

[secretmakes_a]

Do yourself a favor and avoid my class as well as his. I imagine I'll be the only familiar face for him.

[modernholmes]

I am not so foolish as to walk into that.

[secretmakes_a]

No, but you are foolish enough to want to keep an eye on both of us.

[modernholmes]

That is only prudence.

[secretmakes_a]

[ Watch as she completely ignores that ]

I will tell you right now--He will notice.

[modernholmes]

As expected.

[... -responds to ancient posts like it's nothing~-]

[ravenchaser]

I think it suits you.

[ Pffft. ]

[secretmakes_a]

Of course you would.

[x3;;; ]

[ravenchaser]

Oh? You say that like I'm the only one.

I think that sniper... Calvados, was it? He'd also agree, if he could hear from his grave.

[secretmakes_a]

[ Just shrugging casually because; lol. Was that supposed to make her feel bad? ]

He had long since lost his worth.

[ravenchaser]

[Of course not. It's not like Gin cares about some dead nobody.]

I suppose so. However, the point still stands. You are man's ruin.

That aside, should I ask what you've been up to or will that be pointless. [Because he knows how much she loves keeping secrets.]

[secretmakes_a]

[ Smirks ]

Teaching.

[ravenchaser]

First, a school nurse, now a teacher.

Have a thing for students?

[secretmakes_a]

Hardly. My mun just happens to find my dealing with children amusing.
