Hal's twice-weekly late suppers at the Headmaster's House with Avril

texture · YDAU, recurring; the 22 Oct instance

• When: YDAU (2009), recurring (~twice weekly), 2100-0101h; the 22 Oct instance framed here
• What: Hal and Mario walk over for late 2100 suppers at the Headmaster's House ~twice a week — capped "by deLint to twice a week tops because they get him excused from dawn drills" (and enable late-night mischief). Hal "makes fists around his utensils and eats like a wild dog," gripes about the plant-lamps' UV, disappears ~half an hour beforehand (to get high), and endorses that the HmH tunnel bypasses the Pump Room. The evening ends in a fixed ritual: Hal says his plans are to "Make trouble," and Avril mock-sternly answers "Do not, under any circumstances, have fun." Documents the warm-but-performed Hal-Avril relationship and family routine.
