goodbye my friends, adios

[fecklesslyadorn]

Ladies and Gentlemen, students, staff, ghosts and portraits, I have a rather important announcement I've been meaning to make for a week now. You see, I've been putting it off. Not for reasons of procrastination, though I am a notorious procrastinator, but because it's both wonderful and depressing news at the same time

You're...going. Right. Great.

Um...I could do with something off you, actually, sir, before you go.

[fecklesslyadorn]

Yes, I am.

Sure. What do you need?

[don_quixotic]

Oh. Right.

Reference, sir. One of many, see, I need quite a few for the job I'm applying for. More of a character than academic reference, I suppose, but a bit of both wouldn't go amiss.

[fecklesslyadorn]

Oh. Yes, of course. I'll get right on that then.

Acacia

Acacia, I have to leave. I'm getting married and I need to be with my wife. I'm very sorry.

Please don't. I know you're upset now, but there are others who will help you, and you can always still talk to me, you know.

Re: Acacia

[fecklesslyadorn]

I wouldn't, Acacia. I'm glad you have a little more faith in me that others.

I'll miss you too. You've got only a few months left at the school, and then the futures is yours. Don't forget it.

YOU'RE LEAVING ME!?!?

Re: Nick

[fecklesslyadorn]

Yes, Liza. I'm leaving.

Sorry.

Re: Nick

[awkward_bird]

Why didn't you tell me!?

Re: Nick

[fecklesslyadorn]

I meant to...I just....

Nothing was decided until I actually got the job. Then I did and....

I don't have any excuses. I'm so sorry, Liza. With everything else, I just forgot. I'm a horrible friend.

[zomgmoony]

Congratulations, sir.

[fecklesslyadorn]

Why, thank you! I've not heard from you in a long while. How are you doing, Remus?

[zomgmoony]

It's been a while since I checked the scrolls. Been a little preoccupied, looking for work and the like. But I'm alright, thanks.

[fecklesslyadorn]

I completely understand where you're coming from. It's a bit of a pain in the arse. Any idea of what you want to do?

[limey_alfred]

I shall miss you terribly, old chap! Do enjoy Gloucester, I know a few chaps who work in the area, it seems lovely.

I would love to attend your wedding!

[fecklesslyadorn]

I've been once to Gloucester, when I was young and visiting the cathedral on a school trip or something like that. Of course I've visited since then and, well, I do like it. It's nice enough.

Wonderful! I'll send you the rest of the information then.

[limey_alfred]

It's marvellous, the people are so friendly there. Mind you, I've only met a select few people, but I suppose they're all the same.

Jolly good!

[fecklesslyadorn]

I hope so, though the chances of that are slim. There are always a couple of rotten apples in the barrel.
