3rd Broken Illusion

Whoever messed with the punch at the dance? Good going, idiot. Maybe you thought you were making things "fun", but all you managed to do was ruin an evening that could have passed without incident otherwise.

This town's bad enough. Why would you do something like that? Gah. [ U MAD, TOUMA?

Seriously, he didn't even want to be there, but it messed Misaka up badly, and thus subsequently cut something short that Mikoto was looking forward to. Even if the vomiting saved his ass. That's what has him all pissed off. ]

[ Action : 840 Hastings : Open ]
[ Now that he's gotten that bit of frustration out, Touma was back to being restless. He's currently milling about the house, trying to find something to do. The drones are off doing whatever it is that drones do out of the house. He is used to living (mostly) alone, so he's doing stuff just to have something to do.

This includes but is not limited to:
a) Cleaning his room, or organizing all the books in the house.
b) Raking the yard and bagging up the leaves.
c) Washing the car -- and contemplating getting driving lessons. ]

(ooc: Back-dated to Sunday, and action is open to anyone passing by the house, or stopping in to visit himself or Morgiana. o/ )

[ He smiles a bit. That doesn't come out so often, here. Nor does he sound so... enthusiastic. ] Then I can help with that part. I promise I won't laugh or anything. It can be hard to admit what you just did to me, but I think it's great that you're working toward improvement!

[she seems to brighten a bit! maybe. it's kind of hard to tell with her.]

Thank you, Touma. So long as it is not in your way- I will try my best.

We are reading something for, ah, English I think. A play.

It wouldn't be in my way, trust me. [ As far as he saw it, it was helping someone in a way he was capable of AND it filled in for time. So, really, it's a bigger help to him than he'll freely admit. ]

Can you show me which it is? I doubt it's one I've read before, but that won't matter.

[she leaves after a nod and returns not too long after with a tiny book. the play is, of course, by shakespeare.

there's little wonder why she had troubles with this assignment.]

This one.

[ Staring at the book after just a few pages. ] ...sheesh. Can't they use one of the modern translations?

It helps that the teacher explains some things but...

[she shakes her head, at a loss.] It is nothing like the other writings I practice with. Maybe I should leave it alone.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Yeah, things like this? [ Touma closes the book and waves it around, talking like he's an expert. ] No one really talks like this. We should definitely start with something else.

[she'd believe it!!] What do you suggest?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Hm, what about textbooks? That'll be more practical, since you'll need those in all your classes and not just one.
