This is it, everyone! The final stretch! I hope you're all studying your hardest! I'm rooting for you all, even those of you whom I don't teach.And I'm not discussing the guests we had outside of that strange teacher and the rather sweet student. Castiel, this is directed at you.
As for me, I have some... rather strange news? My owl, Black, passed away last month. (And yes, his name was just "Black.") He was quite old, so I can't say I was too surprised.It's a bit sad, considering Grandpa got him for me, but, well... it's inevitable. Well, regardless, that isn't the strange part. The odd thing happened last weekend, when I decided to make a quick run to find a new one. That's not to say that the ones the school provides aren't excellent, but we tend to get a lot of post over the summer at home-- but I digress.
Long story short; as I was walking by, this owl began squawking incessantly at me. The owner of the store came to see what the fuss was about, and was surprised. It turns out the bird was a female Madgascar Red Owl,very expensive and for as long as the owner had her, she had always been very quiet. I assumed she didn't like me, but the moment the owner opened her cage, she flew up and perched on my shoulder, quiet as can be. I couldn't get her off to be honest, not without her squawking angrily again, so I ended up purchasing her, only... As soon as I got back to Hogwarts, she flew off my shoulders and that was that. I didn't even have time to give her a name.
She did reappear a few days later, of course, but she's a bit odd. For starters, she gets my mail wrong. I've been finding it in my office, in my room, in the classroom? And even in random places that I don't frequent very often. She's completely unpredictable; sometimes she'll fly in and perch on my shoulder once again, gazing at my surroundings like a hunter stalking its prey. It's more endearing than worrisome, I suppose, but I do hope she doesn't strike at anyone when she's looking like that. For some reason, she's oddly possessive of me.
In any case, if any of you happen to see any post addressed to me, can you stop by my office and hand it to me?I also need to buy a better perch for my owl, my shoulder is starting to hurt. I've been calling her "Red" for a few days now, but I don't want to continue my grandfather's trend of naming birds after colors. Do any of you have any suggestions?
[[ooc; if anyone wants to say they got some of Tobi's mail, feel free! It's probably all junk, bills, or letters from old co-workers who take pity on him. Unless you want to plot amoungst yourselves and have letters you might have sent Thobari end up in someone else's hands.]]

Date: 2010-06-04 06:08 am (UTC)An old boyfriend?[ Unhackable; Thobari knows better than to ask that-- ]It's a good thing those traits are more endearing in cats, then.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-04 06:13 am (UTC)Hah, hah... no. You're the only one I ever called a boyfriend, and I like working with you.That's true, and they're so cute.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-04 06:16 am (UTC)Oh? Oh. Okay. Hahah.Is he still a kitten? I get the feeling my owl would nip at him if he were small.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-04 06:44 am (UTC)Yeah...He is, Alfred's cat had a litter and they're all old enough to leave their mother. It might be best if we don't leave them alone.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-04 06:50 am (UTC)I guess you and Yukimi did sort of skip that stage...Oh? How many kittens did she have?
I'll try to keep my owl out of trouble... Though the only way to do that is probably to keep her with me.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-04 06:56 am (UTC)Well, we might try it after our divorce goes through. If he wants that is... I wouldn't mind trying.She had five I think.
Well, I won't leave him with her. We're good at being careful.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 12:51 am (UTC)You're still going through with it? How is it going?Were they all given away?
Yes, I'll make sure to keep an eye on her. I don't think she's big enough to take on cats, but she's showing signs of being over-protective, so...
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:00 am (UTC)We are, it was a mistake in the first place so we need to fix it. It's going smoothly, and it'll be done and over with in the summer.I'm not sure, they might have been.
There's nothing wrong with that.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:19 am (UTC)And that'll be that? Is it an annulment or a divorce?I'm not particularly a fan cats, but they sound like they would have been a sight to see.
Kittens, after all, are... very cute.It's a bit strange for an owl, though. I had no plans of getting a pet when I went out that day.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:00 pm (UTC)It's a divorce... since, well, we didn't find out that we were married until a few months after. No one believed us that we didn't know what we did.They are, especially when they're all running around.
Are you sure it's an owl?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:07 pm (UTC)That's terrible! I could have figured it out by looking at you two--! Err, I mean... well, the two of you got a long much worse when I initially arrived, so I can't imagine how it must have been at the beginning.Yes, I'm sure it's an owl. A mothering, eccentric owl.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:12 pm (UTC)I got a letter in the mail, with a photo, and I actually screamed.Maybe you just remind her of an Owlet that she had?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:22 pm (UTC)A photo? Of the two of you? Were you... did you look... happy?That seems likely. Can't imagine why I would, though...
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:25 pm (UTC)No! Nothing like that happened! We woke up with clothes on and everything in place. It was just of us at the alter... looking like we had too much to drink. I've given up on drinking now, forever.I bet she misses them.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-05 07:37 pm (UTC)Is it... photographic evidence now?That's... kind of sweet, actually.
