Alison posted something about the kids assuming they were promised a rose garden coming here, and she said it better than I could. But it comes down to one point - some of these kids are getting way too uppity for their britches.

This is supposed to be a school, right? Schools have teachers, administration, authority figures. But how are these kids supposed to respect that authority when the people they're supposed to look up to keep dropping the ball?

Rasputin kept a dangerous secret that endangered some of the kids. He had his reasons, and I'll back him up on them, but the point remains. The Yoshida kid - who's dealing with his part in all that? Kid seems sorry enough, and I don't think he's even capable of lying about it. But still, who's on this?

And teachers just bailing on these kids and taking off? Hell, Summers has been out of this mansion more than he's in, and ain't he supposed to be the big "team leader" type? You got two teachers who damn near killed each other in the gym in front of students, another one who took off to get her head together and left a bunch of dying plants up in the attic - hell, you've got kids who're barely out of these classes themselves turning around and teaching them.

Chuck - if you're going to keep saying that this is a school, teach these kids something useful. Get them in LINE, dammit. I ain't saying it should be boot camp here, lord knows you'd have a double busload of washouts on day one, but look at how these kids think they're running the show.

Whatsisname, the little Mexican gangbanger? Wants to teach kids how to handle a gun? Didn't he want to teach self-defense before he lost it and went crazy punching another student? Yeah, hand him a loaded weapon. Way to approve of THAT lesson plan, Summers. Real good judgement call, Slim.

Kids deciding that "next time" they'll take matters into their own hands? Who puts up with crap like that? Yeah, a lot of them defend themselves by saying they got nowhere else to go. Lemme tell you something, when you've got nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to - that's NOT the time you start criticizing how things are done. Not unless you feel ready to get booted out on your own and feel like you're capable of handling yourself.

I ain't a teacher, and I sure as hell ain't an authority figure. I do two things - I fix stuff and I break stuff. So unless you got a group of kids that either want to go do some landscaping or fix the old horse shed, don't think I'm volunteering for shit. But like Chuck told you guys - this is my home. And if you're going to play at running a school in it, at least have the decency to make it work.

Chuck! Alison! Miss Gavin! ANYONE! Can someone be spared from whatever Super Secret Double-Probation X-Militia meeting you've got going and give me a hand giving these kids something to DO? I'm in the ballroom with about eight or nine rugrats that only come up to my knee all wanting to help paper over bulletholes and fix broken furniture.

Thank god, the older students are showing up. I believe one of them is trying to put your Louis XVIII chair back together with Elmer's Glue, Chuck. Send help.

Not that I mind playing interference on collecting the remains of the well, deceased.

But does anyone have any idea on what we're going to do with all those bodies in the Morgue?

Can't necessairly go out back with a shovel, can we? The neighbors'd get suspicious.

but what the FUCK is going on here? Commandos coming in to shoot up the place, god knows how many kids down in the infirmary, a couple bodies on slabs in the medlab - and I know at least two of them were put there by students - I mean, holy shit! This is what, twice in one year? Who the hell were these people, and what the hell did they want?

For starters, the security system on this mansion's more expensive than anything I've seen in my life. How the fuck did they get in without a billion alarms going off? And up to the third floor with GUNS? I've been doing a walkaround since the whole thing quieted down, and I can't find an obvious point of entry anywhere. No windows broken except the two in the foyer that were blown out from gunfire inside the house. I mean, did none of the super-brains hear them coming?

Chuck - when Bill Stryker showed up, he just wanted you. Far as I can tell, he didn't kill anyone. These sons of bitches were stone cold assassins, ready to double-tap any of these kids to get what they wanted. Who the hell have you pissed off that these people come into my home, guns blazing?

So while you guys get to figuring out the who and the why, I did a damage report on my walkthrough. The fire was pretty limited, except for putting that one kid in the infirmary. The entire carpet's going to have to go, along with the floorboards and moulding in that area. Wiring's pretty fried there, too, so that's going to have to be torn out and replaced. A few bulletholes in walls that can be spackled, and some destroyed furniture. On the second floor, the old staircase to the basement's trashed, I'm going to have that walled up securely, and sealed off from the basement level. I'll get started on all that once I get back from Salem Center this afternoon.

And since I see the front lawn completely devoid of police cars, ambulances, or federal marshals - it's safe to assume we're keeping this little invasion to ourselves? Can't say I disagree, what with the press this place has received. I'm not envious for those who're going to be dealing with the kids' parents after they write home about this. "Dearest Mummy: Got an A on my geography quiz, and was used as a human shield by commandos! Give Fluffy a hug! Love, Suzie"

Anyone needs me, I'll be back around 3.
