Care for Magical Creatures; Friday, Period 2 [ 01/09 ].

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived for their class today, they'd find themselves in just a regular old classroom. But not for long.

"Good morning, younglings!" Minsc, the very large fellow with the scars and the armour and the tattoos and...the hamster...greeted the students boisterously, pounding a fist down on the large desk in front of the blackboard. "Welcome to Care for Magical Creatures! I am your teacher, Minsc, and this is my companion, Boo! In a moment, we shall get started, but at the moment, there is something very important we must do first! These desks! They are evil! They are restrictive! Up! Up out of the desk and quickly, children, we must destroy them entirely and make some proper space in this room!"

"Up, up!" Minsc waved his arms to encourage his students to his feet and, with a great, guttural sort of battlecry, he lifted his foot and kicked it straight into one of the desks. It went flying from the impressive blow, toward the front of the room, smashing into a thousand pieces against the blackboard and settling in a small pile of broken legs and pieces.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Vanquish these desks!"

[[ please wait for the OCD is ready for battle! ]]

Destroy the Desks! -- 01/09.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Everyone knows that those desks have been asking for it!

Throw them, kick them, body slam them, beat them with pieces of other desks.

Or just gawk. But where is the fun in that?

This teacher was insane, but how could John argue with someone who wanted them to destroy school property? He flipped his desk over and worked to forcibly remove one of its legs which he would then work on beating it with.

[bitchprince]

Well. As far as madness went, at least this one had picked something that could fall under the header of good fun.

Arthur kicked his over.

About thirty seconds later, he had gleefully dismantled the desk and was looking for something else to break.

Yeah, okay, Firekeeper could do destroying a desk. As could Blind Seer actually. Rather enthusiastically.

Alex stared for a moment, before deciding to just go with the flow. Hey, he'd told them to do it! It wasn't like she could get in trouble for this (or so she hoped).

Alex kicked over her desk and attempted to remove a leg. That would probably take a while.

Was this some sort of test? Of what? But Leto just shrugged and turned the desk upside down, then proceeded to pull the legs off using his body weight.

..... This was the best freaking class ever.

Ever.

One kick, and Reno's desk was sitting on its side! One more kick, and the wooden flat of it was in two pieces, his foot going right through it.

He was going to maim his desk but good.

Dōjima looked around for a moment, making sure the teacher was actually serious before shoving her desk over, and using the chair to beat on it.

She was probably doing more damage to the chair than the desk, but oh well.

...Their teacher was an absolute nut.

Merlin pushed his desk over, but left the actual destruction up to he classmates. Because--seriously--this was insane.

Introductions -- 01/09.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"Ah!" Minsc looked with pride on the eventual destruction of the desks, and the space in the room it had cleared, beaming. "Much better. Hold on."

He took a moment, went to get some big comfortable floor pillows, tossing them about to make nice places for himself and the students to sit and recline. He perched on his own with his legs folded in front of him, his hamster on his knee. "This," he explained, "is much more like how we learned things back where I'm from, a place called Rashemi. Now that we are more comfortable, we can introduce each other! As you know, I am Minsc! This is Boo! I have never transformed into a creature before, but Minsc had turned human before! That was quite an experience! Please make sure to grab a sylabus (http://berserkerminsc.livejournal.com/10990.html#cutid1); there are important class rules on it! But, for now, at first, I'd like to just go around and know who some of you are! You are all such new faces! So, if you could, tell us your name, a little about where you're from, and if you have any experience transforming into creatures! Go!"

Re: Introductions -- 01/09.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. "I'm John Sheppard, from an apparently normal version of Earth," he began slowly, as if trying to avoid talk of transformations. "There've been other versions of me around, but as far as I understand, I'm the only one of me who seems to turn into a rabbit regularly." Maybe if he looked at his hands no one would hear?

Re: Introductions -- 01/09.

"I am Prince Arthur Pendragon," Arthur said. He'd grown used to a pinch of madness in his instructors here. By now, it was barely a surprise. "Of Camelot. Which is in England, I've been told. I have never been touched by magic as to turn into a magical creature." He paused before adding, cheerfully, "But I've fought a fair deal of them."

Some of which also fell under the 'good fun' header.

"Not ones that used to be people," he finished, more seriously.

Re: Introductions -- 01/09.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Firekeeper frowned. She really hadn't expected a class on magical transformations. In fact, if she'd known that was the topic of the class, she might not have shown up at all. But now she was here, and thus committed.

"I am being called Blysse," she said. "He is being called Blind Seer," she indicated the rather large wolf curled up with her. "We is from forests in Iron Mountains, north of human kingdom of Hawk Haven. I have never not beened this shape."

"I'm Alex Russo and I'm from New York City," she began. "2009, in case anyone was wondering about the year. I've never had experience transforming into a creature before, but I had an enchanted dragon that looked like a beagle as a pet. And I turned my brother into a bunny once."

Actually, it had been for Justin.

Re: Introductions -- 01/09.

[future_sandworm]

"I am Leto Atreides," Leto said, avoiding any titles. "From Arrakis. And I have never transformed into an animal." He smiled a little at that last comment.

Re: Introductions -- 01/09.

[raspberryturk]

Only in Fandom, Reno mused, grinning to himself.

"The name's Reno. I'm from a city called Midgar, which used to be heavy on the industry and not so much with the givin' a spit about the people who lived underneath it, but that don't make no difference anymore anyhow, yo. And Fandom turned me into an animal once. A chocobo, which is a kinda bird people ride on instead of horses, where I'm from."

He wasn't going to add that he was a baby chocobo. Wark!

Re: Introductions -- 01/09.

Now this was awesome. Dōjima settled herself comfortably on to the floor, kneeling primly in her skirt. Flashing the rest of the class would not do.

"Ohaiyo!" she said cheerfully. "I am Dōjima Yurika, from Tokyo, Japan, and I turned into a bunny once this summer. It wasn't bad, I think my friends spoiled me rotten, but I don't really want to do it again."

Re: Introductions -- 01/09.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I'm Merlin." He looked over in the direction of Arthur for a moment. "I'm also from--England I suppose. I can't say I've ever been an animal, myself."

Despite the unfortunate name.

"And most experiences I've had with magical ones are with Prince Arthur."

Discussion -- 01/09.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

After the final person introduced him or herself, Minsc clapped his hands loudly together. "Excellent! A very impressive class for great goodness! Now!"

With more grace than his bulking body might suggest, Minsc stood up, going to the blackboard. He brushed off some sawdust from a few flying chairs, and wrote in big, bold letters: ANIMALS THAT WOULD BE COOL TO TURN INTO. Then he turned back to the class.

"Today," he said, "we will have a discussion on animals that would be cool to turn into and why. Don't just pick any animal! Think about it first! For example, I might immediately think, well! Don't I want to be a giant miniature space hamster like Boo? They are smart, strong, clever and cute! But they also contain fathomless knowledge that would make my weak human brain explode from their power! Not a good transformation!"

"So let us talk! Animals that would be cool to turn into and why! And it is a discussion so feel free to agree and argue and discuss with each other as well! I will just scribble on a list."

Discussion : Blackboard -- 01/09.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

ANIMALS THAT WOULD BE COOL TO TURN INTO

--Tycoon or Chocobo

Re: Discussion -- 01/09.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Discuss at will! Magical and normal creatures alike! Interactions with each other are greatly encouraged.

Talk to Minsc -- 01/09.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

After the discussion, Minsc has applauded all the students on their insights and dismissed them, but he is around to chat afterwards!

OOC -- 01/09.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAAY CLASS!

I'm around saving for a blip in the afternoon to evening for a short work shift.

And now I get coffee!

Desk destroying? Now I'm sorry I didn't throw Chewie into this class. *g*
