Library [Sunday]

[bookworm-beauty.livejournal.com]

When Belle walked into the library for the first time, she had to stop in her tracks and just close her eyes for a second, taking it in. The way the books smelled -- clean, with a hint of dust -- and the silence of the high ceilings and all that space reminded her of the last library she'd been given. And while this one had its own unique characteristics -- there was a distinctly mechanical hum she could hear, somewhere, and it wasn't quite as musty -- it still made her homesick for the castle and her friends and Adam for just a second.

She opened her eyes, pushing past that, and eagerly moved further into the library. Belle had come here in pursuit of adventure, and while yesterday had helped her believe she'd get it for some time to come, today all but confirmed it.

She started piling books on the circulation desk. Every time she found a topic she didn't recognize, she snatched up the book to devour here, or take home with her later. She'd eventually get some work done, but it was her first day. She needed to familiarize herself with her new home.

[omg I am at work from noon until 7ish EST, but SP is love and I had to post her in here today. :D We'll have a regular schedule of aides starting tomorrow!]

Gun Range, Sunday evening

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

After saying good-bye to Kennedy on Friday, Dru had pretty much kept to herself for the weekend. She knew the new kids had turned up the day before but it didn't make much sense to go to the picnic and meet people, not when she could get a call from Christophe saying it was time to leave any day now.

Just because she'd been practicing with the Malaika it was no reason to let her other skills slip. So Sunday evening found Dru in the range steadily working through several clips of bullets.

Hero Management- Monday- Period 3- Class #1

[smartestone]

It was Hermione's first day teaching.

It was a little intimidating.

Still, she was trying not to look intimidated, especially when this was a subject where she definitely knew what she was talking about. All she had to do was remind herself that she was in charge, and act authoritative. That part at least wasn't hard at all.

"Welcome to Hero Management. My name is Hermione Granger. You may call me Miss Granger," she started. 'Professor' didn't seem to fit in this situation and she wasn't about to let her students call her by her first name. "If you didn't read the class description when you signed up, or if perhaps you were signed up accidentally, this class is going to deal with how to manage being part of a hero's support system. If you've been in Fandom for any amount of time, you know that there are people who have important destinies, or who end up at the forefront of crises. This doesn't apply to most of us, but that doesn't mean there's nothing we can do to help. One of my best friends defeated the greatest Dark Wizard of our time at the age of seventeen. I won't say standing behind him was always fun or easy, but when he needed help, I wanted to do what I could for him. So for the next seven weeks, you're going to learn some things that will allow you to help out the best you can. And if by some chance you're one of the hero types taking this class, maybe you can pick up some pointers yourself."

"Now," she said, "the first week is usually all about introductions, which is exactly what we're going to do today. I want you to go around the room and introduce yourselves, along with the reason why you're taking this class. Let's start with you."
