Well... This is a bit embarrassing.

If anyone catches sight of a rogue broom on the loose in the city, please contact Sirius or myself so we can put it out of commission before someone gets hurt.

I have no idea what's going on. This all seems like rubbish, and I need to go home... but I can't seem to get back on my own. There's something preventing me from.. ah. Leaving.

[There is a pause as he glances about at the people coming and going along the street outside the hospital. None of them seem to be paying him any mind. Since he normally can't go out without being recognised, he assumes he is in a Muggle city.]

The people I spoke to told me I've been enrolled in public school, and that I'll be assigned a roommate in a flat somewhere. [He makes an exasperated sort of sound.] I'm sorry, I don't have time for any of this.

Ok, I've officially given the school system a whirl.
A vigorous whirl, even, replete acrobatic leaps and frolicsome gyrations spinning right the fuck off of the handle of this metaphor onto another.
I put the school system through its paces like a bred and bought race horse, antiquated nag that it is. I rode that thing as though I had gotten it through larcenous means and was evading the authorities, and let me fuckin' tell you, not only were those authorities evaded, but I had time to stop for lunch and take a swig from one of these ingeniously rationed plastic milk pouches.
So having thoroughly experienced this ride through mediocre standards and uncritical thought I can say without a doubt,
This shit is totally useless outside being a tool for socialization and a breeding ground for cliche teenage drama.
Drama that is doubtlessly the by-product of being pushed for months on end into mindlessly repetitive tasks with no pay-off except a pitiful handful of gold stars.
Wouldn't be surprised if the goal was to force us into a psychotic break so we finally believe the fictional horseshit.
Given how close school is to every stereotypical fictional representation I have ever seen of it,
I'd say we are marching closer every day.

[ The camera turns on to Rudy sitting stiffly in his seat. He looks a bit neater, with his shirt collar properly buttoned and his hair smoothed over to one side. His jaw is set forward, as though in some deal of frustration, and he rocks a little, back and forth, looking quite bored and restless. ]

So. It's become quite apparent that there really isn't much to do. So I thought I'd appeal to you lot for some help. Maybe y'can stop bein' so mind-numbingly dull and useless and tell me a good place to find a music store. Been thinkin' of pickin up the ukulele again. Left it back home. Well... never really was much of a home, was it?

[ In the background, another Rudy can be seein, fidgeting nervously and tugging at the hems of his shirt and cuffs. He shakes his head and turns to the other Rudy. ]

No... No, please don't. Does it... does it have to be the ukulele? I mean-- you know how we feel 'bout that.

[ The Rudy in front of the camera jumps up suddenly and approaches the Other Rudy, grabbing him by the shoulders and slamming him backward into the wall before setting himself just inches from the face of the Other Rudy. ]

I will do what the FUCK I want. D'you understand me? If I say that I wanna play the ukulele, your job, yeah? Is to ask me, "four or six strings?" Hm?

[ The Rudy against the wall nods frantically in his cowering.]

Good. Now get out of here. You're puttin' me off.

[ The Other Rudy slinks out of the room, shaking his head and rubbing his shoulder while the first Rudy slumps back down in front of the camera. ]

Fuckin' hell. So yeah, anyway. Ukulele. Where can I get one?



[Later: Text to Alisha]

All right?
