I have a few things to discuss with everyone at large, so I believe the network will be the best avenue to approach this.

Firstly, my classes will be put on hold for a while - most likely only a week or two, barring any unforseen complications.

The reason for this is that I will be having spinal surgery done by Ekkehardt in a few days, so while I assume the recovery process will not be long - it never hurts to be thorough about such things.

Second, I would also like to extend an invitation to anyone who is curious to come and watch the procedure - I'm told that my condition is a bit...unusual, and I believe it could potentially be a fine learning experience for those interested.

And Third also ties into the procedure itself, as Ekkehardt will have to behead me in order for for him to have enough time to carry it out, as my death is the only thing that halts my regeneration for a bit. Though this sounds extreme, I am actually caught in a liminal state between life and death - A sort of odd undead, though I am still human enough to pass within general society. If this disturbs you, then I would suggest not attending.

Lastly, I wish to extend my well wishes towards the students and faculty for the new year, and hope that we can all strive towards excellence - both academically and personally.

Oh. Ew. That explains the surgery.

So, uh, is that going to grow back when your head's back on or is it getting completely replaced?

Technically, my magic seems to be forming a sort of replacement spine. The issue is that it's focused not on support, but on trying to regenerate the remaining bits - something that has left me in constant, unstoppable agony for the same amount of time.

The surgery, as I understand it, is to remove those last fragments and implant something for the magic to cling to so it can finally stop trying to regenerate itself.

Is there a problem?

asking for a friend here: do you know any other words?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe the whole "lol, come see me get my head taken off and have surgery performed on me" part?

Fuck.

I am literally going to murder you the second I find you, kid. [No.]

answering for a friend: she does not

lumiere 401. i have an extra cup ramen, if you want

Jolyne. You know mortality means absolutely nothing to me, do you not?

Not to mention that I have an unusual condition, so it would be educational for those interested.

if it's too much a pain in the ass I'll just fucking go
better make it worth my time old man your spine better be real fucked up

Well, yes.

BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T MAKE IT NOT FUCKING GODDAMNED WEIRD????

No provoking violence against yourself unless you want your head handling permissions revoked.

Give me five minutes, you little shit.

I believe 'the natural spine has been rotting inside of me while my magic has created a replacement spine while continually exciting my nerves for over a century' is fucked up enough, yes.
