Yes, Sir. Agreed.

PM: Oh, well uh… 

PM: That doesn’t inspire confidence, Mason. Talk to me, if you’re comfortable. Tell me what you mean. 

Yeah well, we’re figuring things out now. Lets hope so, I mean it would be nice. Yeah, I know. Its been fun but its been alot, I’ll be okay though. How about you? 

You are? Good to know. I wish you the best with it, Jeff. It would be, I know. Everyone deserves happiness. I can understand where you’re coming from with both of those thoughts. I hope so. If you ever need to talk, I am around. I’m doing alright, just trying to make sense of everything. Have you considered any other clubs you might want to look at joining?

I’m on my way– omg I can literally just make my way over there. Right now. I’m coming.

Good boy, come to me. It has been far too long. 

Nick, Sir. Where are you?

In the flesh. I’m in my room. I’ll unlock my door. 

Nope, no one had claimed me. I use to be a submissive. Yeah, its cool, I mean seems no one noticed or realized. No, I was alone….Oh yeah! That would be fun to dance with you once more. 

I know you were, I just hadn’t realized you hadn’t been claimed. I thought something was happening with one of the Smythes, from the look of things. That oly means this year will definitely be your year. You aren’t alone anymore, that’s for sure. It would be. I’ll see what I can get done. Are you enjoying spirit week?

31! That does have to be a weird age to come back here. When did you graduate? How long had you been out there? What were you doing? I got to go home for a little while after the Rebellion, but I haven’t graduated yet so I’ve been here aside from that time for 5 years. How is the dining hall food? Did you find out?

It for sure is. I left here just a couple of years ago, actually. So, not terribly long. Still, it was unexpected. I was actually teaching at a dance academy. At least you didn’t have to start all the way over, right? I did! Listen, it’s never going to be 5 star, but I can say there has been a marked improvement. How are you enjoying your time off of classes?

 Must be the artistic brain, always gives me the right words in the right moment. It is, sadly, not a prank.  Besides, even if it was they can pry this new mark of mine off my cold dead hands. I hardly want to back to being a dominant full time.  A guys got needs.  Yeah. The gangs all hear- well, mostly here. They did put Beau in lockup in the big bad dominant area.  Art, a few sub classes and a few dominant ones. A whole well rounded education. Yeah. You’re right now doubt. I bet there’s a whole new kitchen with an air fryer and everything. Properly some fancy milkshake maker and everything. I am, yeah. 

Why? You wanna strip off your kit and pose for me? 

It must be. Keep that, it’s great. Sadly. I can say it hasn’t been as bad as I expected, but it’s stil no walk in the park. Enjoying that, are you? No shame, I think it’s great. I’m glad they added another. I know some people are iffy about it, but I think it was needed. Nothing is ever blak and white, especially not people. I suppose you’re right about that. I thought I’d heard something about that, I’m sorry. I know that must be tough on your family. I’m sure he’ll be out soon enough, hopefully. It sounds like you’ll have your hands full, there’s nothing wrong with that though. Funny, and yet probably accurate. It’s an entire craze. I’d love to say I didn’t buy into it but..I couldn’t help myself. Now that wold be a dream. Terrible for my figure, but that’s a chance I’d be willing to take. Whatever makes you happy. 

Of course it is, enjoy. I have, more or less. I can’t say I’m not unimpressed by some of the new uggos around campus, and it’s supes weird to see so few actual subs around, but c’est la vie. Sounds like a plan, I’ll see you soon. You know how it has to be, to be the best. We’ll see what they’ve got, but I’m not holding my breath. I have high standards. I’m good. How are things with you? I don’t see your Boo Thing.

I see you haven’t changed, Zoe. It’s nice to know some things are constant. Things are really different now. I can’t think of it as a negative myself, but I know not everyone feels the same. You will, and I’ll see you. You’re right, I do. To be honest I’m not either, but I’m also trying to remind myself that there isn’t anything below rock bottom, so there has to have been some sort of improvement. Good is good, it’s better than not. Things are things. I can’t complain, but I’m not jumping for joy. Oh, no. We...Decided to go our separate ways. After the claims were dissolved. 

What a great day to pop in and start the party!~ My name is Mason McCarthy, if you’re into cheer or music you probably totes already know that but annnnnyways, I am supes stoked to be here. Psyched. I’m over at Dalton– or what used to be Dalton, which is uber weird– so if anyone needs anything that is where you want to go for superior service. Just saying.

...Mason? You’re back? You’re back. Hi, hey. How are you?

Thats all i can do, I mean whom else could I be? How did you feel it would be, if you dont mind me asking. Yeah, slowly but surely I am. I’m reconnecting and all. Seems I missed things being stuck here. Of course, now that I can dance more freely. 

Exactly. Keep that mindset, Jeff. It’s important to be sure of yourself in life. Terrible, truth be told. I mean, I wasn’t ever itching to relive my years here. But, it looks like we’ll at least have the chance to do things differently this time. Better. I didn’t want to leave my job or my home. But, I’m choosing to make the best of it. Keep it up, connections are important. You hadn’t graduated yet? I’m sorry, Jeff, I didn’t realize. At least we’ve all returned, though. You aren’t alone. Not that you were before, either. Awesome, I’ll look forward to seeing you there. Maybe Campbell will throw us a duet this year. 

It’s like someone rebooted out lives into some strange, modern day take. But hey, at least we get to see old friends again. What classes are you taking? I promise you know- I’m just hoping they spent more money on the actual  food then they did on the hall. God. That shit was bad. 

I’ll be surprised a grand total of nobody when I tell you that I have no plans of checking anything out here until I have to. I wish Homecoming was over already, get on with it so we can earn our diplomas again and get the fuck out of here.

I wouldn’t have expected anything less, Beau. It’s nice to see you back, however, even if you aren’t interested in being here. It’s a precarious situation for all of us, but there isn’t a need to make it worse with negative attitudes. We can’t control that we have to be here, we might as well make the best of it. I realize that’s difficult, but so is being a sour apple for the next...However long it takes you to graduate. 

I’ve been good, just been me mostly. You? Yeah, I can understand that, It seems we all are adjusting in one way or another. 

Good, that’s good to hear. Keep being you, Jeff. That’s the best way to be. I’ve been well. I can’t say I’m thrilled to be back here, but it’s not as bad as I thought it might be. It seems that way. I see you’re reconnecting with everyone alright though, so that’s a positive. I take it I’ll be seeing you back with the Dance Team this year? I’d better, we could use your talents. 

You sound like, so totally thrilled. You’ve got enough talent to be worth a little bit of respect, so sure thing, babe. When and where? I won’t be eating anything they’re making though, probably. I’m like super picky, high standards and all.

You know it. It’s nice to see you again, Zoe. I take it you’ve been well? Thanks for that, gorgeous, I’ll definitely take it. How about 15 minutes, I don’t mind walking to where you are, we can go over together. I can’t fault you for it- I’ve been on a pretty strict meal plan for the past several months myself. But, I’m interested in whether or not they thought it’d be prudent to update everything that needed updating. How are things going so far, Zoe?

Whats up sir? 

Jeff Sterling, how have you been? It’s cool to see you again, How have you been? I’m not up to much, just taking in all of these changes.
