Anti-Punctuality

Over time, I have come to believe that getting late is no longer the virtue of an uncivilized loser who has a tussle with the watch. Some of the coolest people I've known are renowned for being late. (eg - Hatake Kakashi) Besides, punctuality is the virtue of the bored. Late-coming has now become an Art. Some would prefer to call it a Science since it involves precisely calculated time amounts allocated for specific tasks which can be multitasked and skillfully executed, promoting balance and optimized throughput of the available time, thereby blah, blah and blah is blahed to blah..... Getting back to human speech, being late needs lots of predicting power, innovative skills and shamelessness.

Being in college, professors don’t really mind if you enter class even a minute before the lecture end. However, if they know you by name, they might ask for a reason. (A simple solution to this problem would be to either change your name or change your college, whichever seems more convenient) But when asked, you need to have a reason that sounds true but everyone knows it’s not, it should be entertaining but not rude, you shouldn’t be too ashamed nor too shame-deprived. Display of weakness will only tempt them to bully you more but if you are too ‘shame-deprived’ (the sugar coated version of ‘shameless’) they might still agro you for acting cocky. This is the reason why it is a combination of Science and Art and needs perfect balance between the two! If messed up, the professors might threaten to use the most powerful offensive spell known to professor-kind; Parental Summoning!

Attack - Parental Summoning
Description - The almighty professords summons the target's creator(s) and infuriate them by breaking the Student-Professor Omerta. Even in the professord circle, this technique is considered as taboo and only resorted to if and only if nothing else works.
Damage - 1000 [x2] (if both parents are summoned) + 50 [xN] (where N is the number of people that know of this drama)
Effects - Allowance Cut-off, Domestic violence, Domestic Eerie Silence, Loss of Reputation points, Loss of acoustic defense equipments (iPods, MP3 players or anything that one can listen to during a long parent driven lecture, Possible loss of deprivation of basic needs (internet) and other unknown added effects.

Hence you must always have a witty excuse up your sleeve that will entertain the almighty ‘professords’ without offending anything or anyone pertaining to them. So keep them smiling lest they shall make you frown.

Nem,
