[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Monday, March 12, Period 2

There was fine array of breakfast pastries and cookies laid out for the students today, along with plenty of hot drinks and juices. As soon as everyone was assembled, Aziraphale stood up from his chair and smiled.

"First, I want to remind you all that we will be taking our class field trip this weekend. The buses will load at the causeway on Friday at 3:00, and we'll return Sunday night. I'd like to ask anyone who cannot attend to please let me know, otherwise I will expect to see you all there. Now, I'll need to see the following people after class to collect your absence excuses."

Matilda Wormwood (two absences)
Angela Chase (one absence)
Jack Harkness (one absence) excused
Liz Sherman (one absence) excused

DISCUSSION: "Today we're going to have an open discussion to allow you all the chance to ask questions about the readings or the lectures, or to share your ideas about the material we've covered. Next week we'll be having a test on 'Themes', so this might be a good time to review that material as well."

Molly Whuppie
Jack the Giant Killer
The Sleeping Beauty
The Dancing Water, the Singing Apple, and the Speaking Bird
Hansel and Gretel
Brother and Sister
The Rose Tree
John the True
Mr Fox
Jack and the Beanstalk
Little Snow White

HOMEWORK: "Be at the causeway on Friday afternoon, and don't forget to study for the test."

[ooc: I should be around, with intermittant SP due to work, to answer any questions the characters have. Go ahead, throw out your ideas about the stories they've read so far, talk about how crazy the plots are or how silly the heros are or how you think the story should have ended! Please wait just a few minutes for the OCD is up, yay!.]

Elena Rodriguez

no, she's not actually incognito, it just entertains me to sign her in that way

DISCUSSION

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Discuss! Ask questions! Engage one another in meaningful and enlightening verbal interaction!

Yeah, this would be the first time Conner had ventured out of his room all weekend. He still looked kind of traumatized.

In fact, he might be seen to be rocking back and forth in his chair just a bit.

Re: DISCUSSION

River was there, looking happy and somewhat distracted.

Jack was there, with a coffee and a danish, looking pleased with himself. Not that he didn't usually look like that, but he was in an extremely good mood today.

Cedric skimmed some of the readings while listening to the lecture.

Re: DISCUSSION

Turtle tried to think of something thoughtful and intelligent to submit to the discussion, but anything she thought of had something to do with stocks and nothing to do with fairy tales, so she didn't say anything.

There should be more fairy tales about the stock market, she decided. Bartleby the Scrivener so didn't count, because she couldn't get past the first page ever without conking out from boredom.

Re: DISCUSSION

For the moment, Layla was far more comfortable taking notes on what everyone else was discussing, rather than trying to sound meaningful or intelligent herself. Not that she was worried about how much of the class material she understood or anything.

Evie was frowning at the material, wondering how on Earth she'd remember it all, and also drawing a little skyline of New York across the top of her paper.

TALK TO AZIRAPHALE

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

For any questions or chit-chat not related to the discussion (especially if you need to turn in an absence excuse).

Re: TALK TO AZIRAPHALE

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack doubted his reason for skipping class last week was going to go over well. "Professor Azriphale?" he asked. "I missed class last week. I don't actually have a good reason."

Re: TALK TO AZIRAPHALE

River looked a little less happy when she spoke to Aziraphale. "Can't go on the trip this weekend. Have to visit my brother and the mun is going away for the weekend, woe." Much as she was looking forward to seeing Simon, he could have chosen a better time to pick her up.

Re: TALK TO AZIRAPHALE

Marie approached Phale after class. He might notice that she was back to wearing clothes that completely covered her and gloves. He might also notice that her aura was normal again.

"Do you have a minute?"

Re: TALK TO AZIRAPHALE

John dropped by on his way to Sparky's to talk to 'Phale.

Re: TALK TO AZIRAPHALE

"Aziraphale?" Angela ventured. "Sorry for missing the last class. I sprained my ankle and my mom made me stay home."

TALK TO THE TAs

Give our TAs some love, they deserve it.

Lana is here as well.

TALK TO EACH OTHER

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

For your gossipy, note-passing, non-class-discussion needs.

Re: TALK TO EACH OTHER

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Neil had been listening attentively in the discussion and was currently scanning through his notes, filling a few out and looking a bit pensive about going up to New York.

OOC

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Talk out of character, or spam me with nekkidy icons that I shouldn't be looking at from work. You know you want to.

Re: OOC

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

Remind me to talk to Liz!mun about having John tell Phale why she's not in class.

Also? Naked.

(almost) Nekkid!
