"Welcome to Journalism, boys and girls. Most of you are strangers, although I'm relatively well aquainted with the young lady," he squinted over the top of his glasses, tilting his head to one side, "with the halo of what appear to be butterflies. That could just be me, however."
A sweeping gesture of one tattooed hand indictes Phoebe Halliwell. "This is my Assistant. If you want or need anything, feel free to ask her to approach me. That's what she's for. I intend to make this as painless as possible all the way around unless sterner measures are called for, so let's begin with a few class rules."
"You may eat in my class, you may pass notes, you may play computer games and you may make little kamikaze paper airplanes if that's what makes you happy. My only rules are that you don't talk when someone else is talking and that you leave all mocking of your classmates to me."
Surveying the room, Spider continued, "I hate my job and everyone in any way affiliated with it, so don't take it personally. Are there any questions before we begin?"
