Charlie is sitting on his desk. Beside him there's a plate of brownies, a bowl of popcorn and a bowl with kiwis in. He's looking quite pleased with the world.

"Wallace Fennell has detention.

Barbossa is, if the radio is to be believed, a parrot, and will be excused from class until such point that he is no longer a parrot."

Archie steps into the math classroom, in full dress uniform and bicorn hat. "Sir. I was instructed by Dean Bristow to speak to you about the circumstances of my prolonged absence."

Charlie's eyebrows go up. "Archie! Sit down, take off your... hat, and talk." He holds out the popcorn bowl in case Archie wants some.

Archie takes his hat off, resisting the urge to twist it in his hands, and takes a tentative handful of popcorn. "I heard from Thomasina Coverley that I was cut from the class," he begins. "I understand the decision, sir, and you are well within your rights to have done so, but under the circumstances I should like to see if there is a possibility of reprieve. If it is too complicated or unfair, I will understand as well."

Charlie gives him a thoughtful look. "Why don't you tell me what the circumstances are and I'll see what I can do."

"Doctor Wilson said that he would be happy to provide paperwork if necessary," Archie says, brushing a bit of popcorn grease because it's buttery! off of his fingers and onto his pants. "You see, I have a tendency to take . . . fits of a sort, and unfortunately about two weeks ago, I happened to take one in front of locker 327 . . ."

"Paperwork would be good," Charlie nods. "And medical absences are of course -- the locker?" Charlie sits up straight. "Do you remember what happened? Where did you end up?"

Archie's face twists into an agitated expression. "The best I can tell, sir, it was my own time. Or perhaps an . . . alternate version of my own time. My own life. Things that to the best of my knowledge never happened to me, but triggered memories in my mind. Things about myself that human beings shouldn't know beforehand."

He paces for a bit, trying to shake the agitation. "When I came back through the locker, I went into hiding. Everything was too confusing for me, and so I ran . . . hid away on the beach for several days. When they found me, I was half-dead and nearly mad with hunger."

Charlie holds out the remaining brownies towards Archie. "That's incredibly fascinating horrible. The advanced group hasn't begun working on the project yet, so I don't think it would be much problem in letting you back in. You'll have to borrow someone's notes and give me summaries like they did, however, so I know that you've read the theory."
