Welcome class.

We will spend this class and next on Pet Care as several of you expressed interest. Of course, I refrain from keeping animals myself ~~because cat hair on the chaise lounge makes Bree go cRaZy~~ but learning pet care is an important part of keep a clean, sanitary, welcoming home.

As they seem to be popular, we'll spend today discussing gremlins.

Did you know there are monkey gremlins? How adorable. But these gremlins, like ours, are not meant for domestication, so if you decide to keep a gremlin as a pet follow these steps.

- They are aggresive and bite! Make sure they have their proper shots, you keep their mouths clean, and that they are secured in another location when you have guests so they don't take off anyone's nose.
- They tend to throw their poo-poo, so cover all valuable furniture and have a mop, bucket, and an economy-sized handle of bleach available at all times.
- Follow leash laws
- They shed. I would suggest shaving your gremlin. If he gets cold, I can knit him a little sweater for you.
- You may have seen those hilarious little smoking chimps at the zoo, but do not give your gremlin cigarettes or he may set you or your hand-crafted curtains on fire.

Feel free to discuss gremlin care with your classmates, and if you'd like to see another animal covered next class, please suggest away! Oh, and take a snickerdoodle before you leave!

[OOC: I'll be running classes until new teachers arrive and you can find a new class :) ~~Not like I have anything better to do.~~]

*Paige looks worried for a second, she reaches over and takes Boone's hand and looks him in the eye*
I probably should have told you this before, but erm I'm not exactly normal either you know

*His eyes flicker, taking in the sight of her* What...do you mean?

*She keeps hold of his hand* ok, I don't want you to freak out Boone, I'm just a normal girl in every other way, but well, *she pauses* I'mawitch *she says it very quickly hoping it'll be easier for him to hear that way*

A witch. *He repeats, and eyes flicker from her to the floor and back again* That's...well, that's cool, I guess. Can you do spells and make things move and stuff?

*All in all, a wich isn't too bad. Not a vampire or a werewolf or...some of the other crazy things running around campus*

*Paige moves a bit closer to him* Well I can't do spells yet, I've read about them, but not tried anything yet, but yeah I can move things. *she bites her lip gently* do you wanna see?

Sure. *Boone smiles*

*Paige smiles back* ok, *she holds out her hands* Boone's pen *instantly the pen turns into blue dots and reappears in Paige's hand, she smiles and hands it back to him* I'm glad you're not worried that I'm a witch

Worried? No. It's...where I come from, witches aren't real. But...yeah. I've been here long enough to realise...a lot of things that aren't real are happening here.

*Paige frowns* didn't you say you were from California, like me?

Yeah. *Scratches his head* It's...I don't know. It doesn't make sense.

[OOC: Gotta jet for a bit...will be back later]

*Paige smiles* I guess we were just scared about how people would react so it's all pretty hidden. I mean I never told anyone until I came here.

(ooc- no problem, speak to you later)

Anywhere but here, I dont know how I'd react. But...we were over run with Zombies this weekend. I know there's vampires and wolves and you're not the only witch around. My cyborg teacher is...a cyborg, guess that's why she's so good at the class. So...it's cool. It's just...you know. Weird.

*Paige smiles* Well I'm glad your cool with it, I've not told that many people yet, you can never be sure how people will react to it.

Yeah, I guess so. Even here. *A shrug* That must be rough. I'm sorry.

Well I've only trouble with one person so far, Parker, but I've not seen her in a while. I guess the total weirdness of this place makes everything seem vaguely normal now

Yeah. This place is...it's almost creepy.

*Paige laughs* I'll let you into a secret, the trick is to just not think about the things here too much, otherwise your head will explode

Thanks for the tip. I kinda sorta already figured that out, though. *A slight smile*

Well I'm afraid it's the best advice I have, sorry *Paige thinks a moment* If anything does happen though just call me ok?

You're first on my list.

*Paige smiles at him glad someone other than Geoff and her sister trusts her* I'm glad to here that

*Feels pretty good to Boone, to have someone he considers a friend too* Yeah.

And you know if you ever want to talk, I promise I'll be less leaky next time

That sounds like a plan, but I really don't mind. I told you the other day I like talking to you. Plus, I've never known a real witch before, obviously. So that's just bonus.

*Paige grins* I'm glad I impress you!
