Inside Out -- Class 1, Period 2 [Tuesday]

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

"Good morning," she said mildly, as she waited for her class to settle, "I am Dr. Juli Mizrahi and welcome to ‘Inside Out’. While in class I expect to be addressed as either Dr. Mizrahi, or Professor Mizrahi." A pause. "Though I will reconsider my stance on that, if you have an alternative but equally respectful way of addressing me."

"I’m sure by now that many of you have noticed that, in Fandom, there’s much that’s difference from your homes.” Hopefully, at least. Juli would have to wonder at the kind of world where everything was always like Fandom. It didn’t fully bear thinking about. “The purpose of this class is to discuss some of the ways that we’re all different--in our background, our outlooks, and our methods of accomplishing things."

"Today’s is merely an introductory class. I’d like you all to answer the following questions: What is your name? Age? What year of schooling are you in? What is the biggest difference you’ve noticed so far between Fandom and your home? And what is your favourite time of the day?" Juli smiled faintly, "Once you’ve answered that, each of you may ask me one question--within reason--and I shall answer honestly."

[Wait for the OCD is up!]

Listen, chat, pass notes--just do it quietly if you must!

Introductions!

Name, age, class, biggest difference you’ve noticed so far between Fandom and your home, and your favourite time of the day.

Then, ask Juli a question.

This class seemed much better. Even if there was still that whole question about what she was doing in a class at all.

"My name's Giselle," the girl said, crisp and ruffly in a brand new dress that might have been part of a sheet from the cabins at one point in time. Like before she had made it into a dress. "I'm sixteen, and I just got to Fandom. My favourite time of day is the morning because there are so many possibilities to the day. You could meet your true love or a dear friend or anything! And everything is washed clean with dew."

She might have missed the other parts of the questions.

...

That was a... new way of looking at the day.

"Your true love?" Juli asked dryly, "and, I'm sorry, can you answer the rest of the questions, please?"

Re: Introductions!

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

This class... had potential.

"Temari, seventeen, senior." She paused before adding dryly, "My roommate is made of stone, I think that counts. And sunset."

Another small pause as she formulated a question.

"Is she insane?" Temari asked, nodding toward Giselle.

Re: Introductions!

Juli looked mildly interested at that. "Actually made of stone?" she checked, "not just a metaphor?"

Fascinating.

"Possibly by our standards," Juli said, "undoubtedly not in her world however."

Re: Introductions!

Giselle blinked at the question then wrinkled her forehead slightly, unsure why her new friend would ask that.

Oh, christ. It was a woman. A pretty one, too.

Jeff was looking down at his desk as he spoke. "Jeff Murdock," he managed, "Seventeen, Ju-- senior now and, er, a predominance of phones." They didn't really have mobiles when he came from. "Night, probably. I can't talk much when it's night."

Re: Introductions!

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

"Do you get in trouble often when you talk?" Juli wondered, "And what question would you care to ask me?"

Re: Introductions!

"My name's Friday Next. I'm 16 and I think I'm a junior. The biggest difference between here and home is the technology, I guess. Maybe the ducks. And I don't have a favourite time of day, but I am pretty fond of night or any time when I can sleep really." He paused to think of a question. "Why did you choose this workshop to teach?"

Re: Introductions!

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

"You like to sleep," she said, amused, "try not to do it in my class."

Juli considered his question. "Because I like questions," a pause there, "and finding their answers."

"Hoshi Sato, fifteen, and I'm a junior," she began. "Biggest difference I've found between home and Fandom is the time difference. Fandom is about 140 years in the past for me. My favorite time of day is noon."

After taking a moment to think, Hoshi asked, "What is the biggest difference between your home and Fandom?"

Re: Introductions!

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

"What do you like the most about noon?" she asked pleasantly, "and the biggest difference, well, beside the time, would have to be the amount of nature around here."

"I am Teyla Emmagan, I am 17, and I am a senior," she said. "I believe the biggest difference between Fandom and my home is that there are no Wraith here. And my favorite time of day is the morning, because I have the whole day ahead of me."

She paused for a moment, thinking, before asking, "Do you prefer your home over being in Fandom?"

Re: Introductions!

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

"Wraith?" Juli inquired, then considered the question she'd been asked.

"That... would be hard to say," she admitted, "because, at home, I have my work," and she did enjoy her work, "but here the nature is quite appealing."

Talk to Juli

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

Who, yes, is around.

There are no words for how much that expression on Temari's face creeps me out.

Re: OOC

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

Seconded on the creep out factor of that icon!

Unless, of course, Temari has found her true love. *nods*
