Wednesday, Period Three: What was the school board thinking giving Jamie Madrox a teaching position?

The first thing students might notice when they walked into the classroom would probably be the fact that the classroom was already full.

( The next thing the would probably notice is that the classroom was full of Jamie Madroxes. )

The Art (s) of War and Peace (ATREIDES/KYŌRAKU) / Wednesday / Period 2

[atreideslioness]

Another semester, another batch of bright and shining students.

Each desk had a copy of the syllabus ready and waiting, and Ghanima sat on her desk, hiding her smile behind her tea as they filed in; mentally cataloging the new and familiar faces. Apparently, a few of them were gluttons for punishment. And Shunsui, for what it was worth, was behind the desk, testing the limits of gravity as he tilted it back and put his feet up on the desk. He passed on the tea, but at least he wasn't hitting the bottle, though it was certainly there.

( Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate. )

"Know thy enemy, know thyself. We'll cover it more in-depth later, but for today I would like you to go around the room and introduce yourselves. Give us your name, class, and some random fact about yourself. Pay attention to what your classmates have to say, you never know when such information could come in handy."

"And whether you use that information for war or peace," Shunsui added with a grin from behind the shadow of his wide-brimmed hat, "we'll leave that entirely up to you ♥."

Strange Creatures of the Deep, Wednesday, Period 3

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

Summer had put out some moddable snacks and drinks for her students and stood at the front of the classroom, nursing a large cup of coffee. She waited until her students settled down at their desks to begin.

"Good morning," Summer began, smiling brightly. "Welcome to Strange Creatures of the Deep. I'm Summer Pitt, for those of you that might not know me. You can call me Summer or Miss Pitt, if you're more comfortable with that." She didn't have a preference.

"I thought we could start today's class with introductions and what you'd like to learn about in this class. There are a lot of unique creatures to be found in the ocean's depths. I'm particularly intrigued by the blow fish," she added.

"I'll be sure to have the syllabus for you next class. Also, I'm looking for a TA, if anyone's interested in the position."

[OCD coming up! TA's been chosen ahead of time.]

Library, Wednesday [8/31]

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

With all the information at her disposal in this library, Gabrielle had chosen to spend her day (when she wasn't in class, at least) reading a few scrolls from home instead.

The smell of the parchment was comforting . . . and she was getting a few ideas in the meantime.

Was that a good thing? Who knew?

[OOC: Ugh, and OCD-free, 'cause let's pretend I actually had time to put this up at a reasonable hour except for how I didn't . . .]
