Hubris from Revelation: the Social Engineering of Ultimate Truths [Monday, Period 2]

[atreideslioness]

It was another Monday, the start of another semester, and Ghanima was sitting on her desk as the students filed in, feet kicking lightly against its front.

The moment the bell rang, her eyes snapped from the door to the children seated around the room. "Good afternoon and welcome," she said in a clear voice that carried effortlessly. "This is Hubris from Revelation, and I am Lady Ghanima Atreides. Those of you have not taken one of my classes before may address me as Miss Atreides, Lady Ghanima, Miss Ghanima, or some variation thereof. Preferably not Lady Atreides as that is technically my grandmother, but I will answer to it if you are not comfortable with another title."

( It is only hubris if I fail. )

"So why don't we do the usual first-day introductions? Thrilling, I know, but necessary for our new students. I would like your name, class, and what, if any, religion you follow and why. We don't need a theological lecture, even something as simple as 'I like it' would suffice just fine."

Library [08/30]

Kyle was standing in the middle of the library. The office had given him instructions to be here, open the library and, at some point, talk to the librarian about being a library aide. Seemed pretty straight forward, right?

He didn't have the heart to tell them they should maybe choose someone who knew how to read properly.

Kyle was just going to sit up here on this counter and look around. No wait. Was that a shiny nickel on one of the shelves? He was going to go look at that instead.

Care for Magical Creature; Monday, Fourth Period [ 08/31 ].

As the students found their way to the classroom in which Care for Magical Creatures would be meeting on non Danger Shoppe days, they might have found the large man in the armour holding a hamster to be a little bit twitchy.

You see, Minsc really, really, really wanted to demolish something for this class. It was just such a great way to start a class. And it was perfect for rangering, because rangers could demolish things; it was all part of the job description.

However, this was the new school year, and Care for Magical Creatures was a Srs Bsnz class. And demolishing things had little to do with faeries. At this moment. Minsc was working on it.

( And then there was class. )
