headmistress' office;

"Good morning, Kerria Academy. This is your Headmistress speaking. I trust you're all working hard.

I've been watching, and I'm very proud of all your work. Thus, a reward. 

Although we are located in Japan, we are an international Academy-- our customs come from everywhere. Therefore, in collaboration with our student council, I'm very proud to announce our Homecoming Week.

During this week, until Friday, classes will be let out earlier, the restaurants around campus are also serving free food, there are stalls available to play party games, and there will be dancing every dusk outside between the pavilions until it grows dark, whereupon you will be escorted back to your dorms.

An area that was under construction will also be opening this week, so do look out for it, students. 

There will also be a full-day dance on the Friday. I hope you all will come dressed to your best. 

Regardless: Enjoy yourselves."

Oh… I do wonder where I’ve put my ocarina. I'm sure it's close by---

…All jokes aside, you don’t need to worry about that. I’m always listening.

Always.

    “It’s a pleasure to be here. Now, to answer your question: I believe that students and staff should be able to address me however they like. My name is not important, given the grander scheme of things. —”

           ”My, my! Look at me ramble. Anyway, if students are looking to address me with a specific title: Headmistress, is perfect acceptable! I hope my answer was suitable for you.”

           "Salutations, residents of Kerria.- Is salutations too formal? Perhaps just a hello will be efficient enough. Let's redo that, shall we? Hello, residents of Kerria! I hope you are all doing well. This is just a swift message to inform you all that if you have any queries whatsoever, please, do not be afraid to ask them. Knowledge is power, afterall!

                     Have a great day, Headmistress signing off." 

This Headmistress, despite being mysterious, seems quite..Calm and laidback. But you also feel an air of order and authority whenever her voice hits you. It's a strange combination. Who is this new head..

It's the dead of night. A limo parks just outside of the gates. The usual street lights suddenly turn off simultaneously. Leaving Kerria Academy in the darkness. 

A click of a heel against the concrete breaks the silence, followed by a few murmurs and...squawking? Who knew crows were so active at night? The only thing that would be possible to make out is a shadowy..blob. A tiny bit lighter than the rest of the area. 

        ' Hello, dearest students & staff. I am pleased to finally be in Kerria. It's a shame your previous Headmaster left to pursue other interests. But that is neither here or there. I am proud to introduce myself as your new Headmistress. And I plan to stay here for quite a while. 

Sincerely,

(your new) Headmistress. ' 

Hundreds of these pieces of paper are across Kerria, on trees, notice boards, even on people's desks. It seems a new force has arrived. As well as a new air of mystery.

That's an idea I'll agree to. A karaoke machine won't be too much of a burden on the school's fund.

I'll look into it.

A police officer?

One might say you're a little over qualified to keep students from causing trouble, but, then again... when you look at our students... 

Certainly you can be Hall Monitor. Just don't let me catch you abusing your power.

I've been considering adding extra waterworks to the campus.

I'll set to building it - for now, I suggest using the pond.

I try to learn them, yes, but I'm no psychic.

Because the Academy is perfect.

Back to classes now, Ruby.

Certainly. Give me dates to attend and I will mark them on my schedule.

I don’t usually answer questions from staff, Professor Grey. Perhaps you ought to consider what the more mature option would be. If you’re incapable of that, then yes. I would suspend you.

There’s really no need to test this, you know.

It’s a letterbox. The concept is really rather simple.
