He calmed down enough to notice the two newcomers. "Ah! Scary French Lady and Other Crazy German Guy, it's about time you got here! These humans are crazy! And liars! I was just looking for the Ice Cream Truck and they attacked me! That one," he gestured towards Hitoshi "just tried to kill me."

Veronique's eyes went wide, and her hands trembled.
"Did you say...the ice cream truck?" she rasped, taking a step back. "Why...why are you looking for the ice cream truck?"

Himmel snickered " 'Angry French Lady' that's a good one, hey.. waita minute.. OTHER crazy German Guy... who's the first and why is he beating me?"

Lhachlhass growled in frustration "Argh! Why are you all so clueless?! You're the second because the first is the one who wrote the song The Ice Cream Truck plays obviously. And to get my ice cream of course!!"

Veronique stepped back. "What sort of a demon child..." she muttered.
"You foolish boy," she hissed. "You can never catch the ice cream truck. You can never eat the ice cream from it. Even if you were to catch it, the mere act would forever trap your soul in limbo. You must never approach it, never speak of it, never even think of it!"

He thought for a moment, these people just didn't understand. Well, better not to deal with the Scary French Woman right now. He smiled as sweetly as he could. "Of course Headmaster, I shall never look for it again. Ever." He walked towards her and stopped. "Thank you for telling me! I am forever in your debt. Now I should get going because of homework and responsibility and good citizenship.. yes. Bye?"

Alex just kind of slumps to the floor and tries to be invisible.

Veronique narrowed her eyes. Something told her that he was lying his ass off and really had no intention of staying away from the dreaded You-Know-What, but if the little shit was stupid enough to go chasing after it, it wasn't her problem. Survival of the fittest, Dawinism, and the like.
"Yeah," she mumbled. "You do that." She glanced back to the wall. "Now, about that..."

At that moment, a tiny blond woman plowed through the hall, towing Rudy and Thrall behind her. (A particularly odd sight, since the two towered nearly a foot over her.) The expression on her face was one of pure seriousness.
"Headmaster Veronique, I think I found the source of the problem," she announced, shoving them into the room.

Thrall unsuccessfully tries to wrest his arm from his mother's grip. "I didn't do anything! I was just standing there and then that kid jumped in and Rudy started yelling!"
He tossed Rudy an I-told-you-involving-the-adults-was-a-stupid-idea look.

Gussu changed back, slowly, dreading. "Uh.. well, Headmiss..master. I was doing kendo and then there was yelling and someone changing and I thought someone needed help and then I changed andtherewasawindowanditmighthavebrokenandI'msorrypleasedon'tkillmema'm...sir?"

Veronique narrowed her eyes. "Your tuition doesn't cover that," she replied icily. "You have the choice between paying the cost of replacing the wall, window, and floor, which I doubt you can do, or you can do chores and menial tasks for me until you have sufficiently worked off the balance. What will it be, mutt?"

"Um. Uh.. okay. Here's the thing, thing is I don't want my dad to .. know.. or pay so I guess.... what kind of chores and how much of my free time is this going to take?" Gussu asked already feeling defeated.

Veronique grinned and responded a bit too cheerfully, "Well, we'll do it like this: each hour you work will earn back a certain fixed amount, and each month you go without paying will add a certain amount of interest on the debt, making it in your best interest to work as much as possible as soon as possible. You will run errands for me, mostly, as well as cleaning and whatever else I deem necessary at the time. We'll work out the details with Professor Yaodensi."

Yaodensi hearing the commotion is sufficiently distracted enough from attempting to cast a new fire spell that it miss fires and singes half of his hair off.
After straightening his hair as best as possible he teleports into the middle and glares at everyone. He then raises his hands and casts a silence spell on everyone in the room. Booming out "NOW, who here can tell me why my hair is burned?"
Yao looks around glaring at primarily the now nude young man that is probably the cause of the wall falling apart.
"Who cares to respond first? Mind I will end this situation in a few moments one way or another."

Gussu had thought it couldn't get worse. He realized how very wrong he was. There was a God, an Irony God and he hated Gussu so much. Well since I've already gone to hell. He took a deep breath. "Looks like because you played with fire sir. Wellokaybyenow" He took his cue to run out.

Himmel smiled, "Well since there are two of you very wonderful responsible people here I should go. Since I'm very irresponsible and would probably just bring you down." He waved as he left. "Bye"

Veronique smiled wickedly. "Yaodensi, that student that just destroyed the wall owes me. You're in charge of working out the sticky details, but he's currently my indentured servant until the wall is sufficiently paid for."
She turned back to the others. "As for the rest of you...what should we do about you, hm?"

Rudy shifted uncomfortably under Veronique's golden-brown gaze. "Um...Headmaster, Mom, Dad...Hitoshi and the others were just trying to help," he said, turning his sad, pleading eyes first to his mother, then to Yaodensi, then finally to Veronique. "Please, don't punish them."

"Yeah, don't punish them," Thrall groused, "he started shouting and they thought he was dying or something."

Veronique considered this, glancing at the other two administrators and seeming to have a silent conversation with them. She turned and coolly replied, "Everyone but Rudy and Thrall may be excused. Rudy and Thrall, however, will be put on probation until the beginning of the school year."

At that point, Thrall decided that shocked silence might be the best option.
Particularly when Gussu ran by. That was definitely something to keep quiet about while his mother was still holding onto his wrist. Werewolves were such nice people to have around. Mm...
...Oh, right, righteous anger. The one damn time he didn't do anything..!

"This probation will mean that a close watch will be kept on you," Veronique continued. "If I see any disciplinary problems out of you between now and the start of the school year...well, we'll just say that you will be envying poor Gussu."
Veronique's words were chilling, to say the least.
"And as for your rooming situation, since almost all the other rooms are full, it looks like until the room is fixed you're going to be back in your old room," she continued. "Hitoshi as well as the vampires in the room above you will also have to move rooms, since the majority of the wall is decimated..."

Alex squeaked slightly at the phrase "vampires in the room above you" and began shuffling slowly sideways, trying to get away from the scary woman, and the people who had been furry and growling, and the entire scene which he very very dearly hoped was some sort of anxiety dream.
At least they didn't seem to have noticed him yet.

Shortly after hearing the word 'excused' from the Headmaster, and seeing that Rudy and Thrall were mostly unharmed, Hitoshi's first thought was that he was most likely going to end up rooming with some worthless half-wit, even after he had spent hours negotiating with the Headmaster to get her to agree to let him have his own room, since there were now no completely open rooms left.
Hitoshi retracted the small letter-opener, reasonably pleased with his own resourcefulness. And now there was a strong chance that the little cretin would ignore him, which was all the better. Hitoshi was not a patient person, and dealing with idiots/schizophrenics was not something he relished.
He nodded to his aunt and uncle, excusing himself toward the door. He glanced at the young man cowering in the corner, raising an eyebrow. He had certainly never seen the boy before, this much he was certain of. And yet there was something familiar... Likely it was nothing, of course. Still...
"I'd leave while there's still time, if I were you," Hitoshi remarked dryly, glancing at him. "The situation is likely to self-destruct even more, if that's even possible."
