[Oh what even is this]

[rule_britannia]

I suppose I'll be chaperoning at this bloody dance, then?

[Oh, Arthur, stop it, you love dances and parties, don't even lie.]

Well, as they say, keep calm and carry on. Sodding hell.

Don't sound so resigned, it'll be fun!

[rule_britannia]

Resigned? Me? Perish the thought.

[Maybe a hint of amusement, there.]

[badnewsboy]

Perhaps you should create the poster in your enthusiasm. I've heard it's quite the popular meme.

[rule_britannia]

I never understood how that happened. I suppose it is rather catchy, in a droll kind of way.

[badnewsboy]

I half expected their presence upon my visit.

[rule_britannia]

Mm.. or in the very least something similar.

I was beginning to find it all a little tiresome, though, I must say.

[badnewsboy]

As were many of the gods.

[badnewsboy]

Except for, possibly, the exception Manchester Gods. There are still many parts of that fight for change over tradition.

Or tradition over change.

[rule_britannia]

I'm afraid that you lost me at 'gods'.

[allthezpms]

Such is life. Gotta grin and bear it and all.

[rule_britannia]

Oh, Rodney. Don't tell me they got you too.

[allthezpms]

I am a teacher and living with an underage resident, to boot! Woo yay hoopla.

[rule_britannia]

Oh dear, that's a bit of rotten luck right there. I suppose we can keep one another company and grumble about the youth of today or some nonsense. If you'd not be opposed to that.

[allthezpms]

I am never opposed to that. Shake our proverbial canes at those darn kids on the lawn and all.

[rule_britannia]

Hah. I knew there was a reason I liked you. I'll bring the canes. If we're doing this, we're doing it properly.

if anyone named john egbert turns up murdered youll notice i was hanging out with you the whole night

[rule_britannia]

Duly noted, lad.

Never out of my sight.

[callbacks]

youre a good teach mr k
i hope they at least let you dance
i mean what else are you supposed to do besides lay the smackdown on anyone who isnt keeping at least twelve inches airspace between them

[rule_britannia]

I try. I never thought I'd find this teaching lark so interesting.

And since I doubt I'll be drinking I'll have to find entertainment somewhere. If that means smacking a yardstick down between any couples getting too close to each other I'll have to take what I can get.

[amberwaves]

HAHAHA chaperoning a dance??! that is so lame, dude.

[rule_britannia]

I must do something to occupy my time and at least chaperoning isn't something that's going to get me shot.

I take it you shan't be attending? Thank heaven for small miracles.

[amberwaves]

Oh my god but seriously. Can you even dance England???

Naw I have to work.

[rule_britannia]

How long have you known me, lad, and you're asking me if I can dance. Of course I can blood dance, what do you take me for?

Ah, of course. That's a pity.

[amberwaves]

Well yeah but I mean, I doubt teenagers are going to be waltzing. or moshing, or whatever you used to do with the punk thing.

Not really because I'd probably have to bust them for like underage drinking if I was there anyways.

[rule_britannia]

Well, now you'll never know, will you.

You're assuming there's going to be underage drinking? [Pause.] You have a point, there. But I don't intend to stand aside and let it happen, either.

[amberwaves]

If you end up busting out your moves, I'm sure someone will catch it and put it on youtube, haha!

I mean isn't that what goes on at high school dances?

[rule_britannia]

Do they even have Youtube here? And besides, that kind of thing has happened before and it's not nearly as embarrassing as people seem to think.

Think about what you just said and answer me this - how long do you think it's been since I attended a school dance?

[amberwaves]

I don't know, actually. It'd probably just get posted to the network.

Haha, good point, but don't you watch movies? Kids are always getting up to those kinds of shenanigans in movies, someone always smuggles a flask in the pocket of their coat and spikes the punch.

[rule_britannia]

I suppose I know where I'll be loitering, in that case.

I'd rather not have a bunch of drunk kids to deal with.
