Teamwork 101 -- Period 1 [Class #1] [Monday]

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, teamwork.

Genesis lounged in the chair behind the teacher’s desk, looking more ready to sign autographs than to teach and the smile toying at his lips was hardly likely to reassure any of his students who knew him. Or, for that matter, his co-teacher.

Who was thrilled with him.

"Yo. Rookies." Reno was trying not to be too obvious about talking through clenched teeth, but with the way he was standing about two steps behind Genesis and occasionally directing death-glares to the back of his head, it was apparent that he was having problems. "Welcome to Teamwork 101, where even the teachers apparently gotta learn this junk as they go, yo."

Reno had not been planning on this.

Of course not, which was what made it so very entertaining. "As, presumably, most of you signed up of your own will," Genesis said dryly, "I’m going to assume that you are all aware that this is a class wherein nearly everything will be done with the aid of at least one other person."

Genesis smiled thinly. "Today, it’s introductions. You are all to pair up, find out enough about each other to introduce your partners and then do so. Reno?"

“This guy here is Genesis-with-a-weird-assed-last-name,” Reno replied, nodding towards the SOLDIER. "Passin’ not-bad with a sword. Obsessed with red leather and purple apples, yo. Quotes bad poetry."

Well. The exercise didn’t say that they had to be nice about it.

That it didn’t. Genesis looked amused. "And my introduction was courtesy of Reno, last name need not apply. He drinks too much, eats too little, and once upon a time, murdered, spied and kidnapped people. Got paid well for it, too."

They were clearly going to be besties.

Reno cleared his throat, sparing the back of Genesis’ head another dirty look, and then shrugged and shot the class a strained grin.

"And you wouldn’t believe the health benefit package for that, either. So! Get to it, yo. And if any of you are lookin’ to TA for us this semester,” you know, the well-paid murderer and the... other well-paid murderer, “swing by after class and we’ll see about it, yo."

And Genesis smirked. He was allowed as, after all, he’d gotten the chair.

Listen to the Lecture

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

And observe the fascinating levels of ‘getting along’ your teachers are exhibiting.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[awakestheghosts]

Chloe was paying attention to all of this with wide eyes -- and was feeling a little annoyed with the way the other teacher had introduced Reno.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri wasn't going to laugh out loud, even though she wanted to; this class would be entertaining, if for no reason other than watching Reno and Genesis all semester.

It made her miss the Wraiths a little, but shh.

Oh, Cloud was so screwed. Wasn't that guy in read supposed to be--

He wasn't even going try to make this have any more sense, and just hope Genesis didn't care for the nameless Shinra grunts. Better to be just a guy with weird hair.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[glacial_queen]

Karla was just going...laugh. On the inside. Or while ostensibly taking notes for class and she thought they couldn't see.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

Squall didn't see anything wrong with the way the teachers were interacting. They didn't like each other, sure, but they weren't letting it interfere with the mission, and that was the point.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[heromaniac]

Ahhhhhhh. Momoko was in trouble. She was going to have to take notes and learn during this class? With gorgeous prince Rhapsodos in the room?

But then, there was Reno, too, and she totally didn't want to un-impress him by being a bad student! He was practically her big brother! Ahh! What was a girl to do?

Besides, apparently, not pay attention to the actual lecture.

Pair up & Discuss Introductions

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Like it says on the tin! How many facts you want to give your partner is totally up to you!

Re: Pair up & Discuss Introductions

[awakestheghosts]

Chloe looked around for a partner to work with.

Re: Pair up & Discuss Introductions

[eyesofahero.livejournal.com]

"So...are you up to this?" He asked with the best intentions, really.

Re: Pair up & Discuss Introductions

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela looked around thoughtfully.

Maybe she'd end up paired with someone she already knew. That would make this quick and painless.

Which was why, given that this was Fandom, she'd be surprised if it happened.

Re: Pair up & Discuss Introductions

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

It looked like she wasn't going to get her wish, because Wesley did a quick once-over of the room and decided to come over here.

"Hello," he said awkwardly. "Shall we be partners?"

Re: Pair up & Discuss Introductions

[glacial_queen]

Oddly enough, Karla knew most of the people in class, at least in passing. Hopefully, that would make things easier? She glanced around to find someone to chat with.

Re: Pair up & Discuss Introductions

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

Did they really need to tell people personal information? Whatever. Squall looked around for a partner and tried not to scowl at people.

Introduce Your Partner

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

If they’re not terribly forthcoming with information, you can absolutely feel free to make shit up! Reno likes that in an intro.

Re: Introduce Your Partner

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Wesley's partner being so exciting and all, he was hardly going to pass up an opportunity to share the new information he had learned. Also he was kind of a kiss-ass. Whatever.

"My partner is Triela," he announced. "She is from Rome, she enjoys guns, and she assassinates terrorists."

He was totally smug about getting an interesting partner, yes.

Re: Introduce Your Partner

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"This is Momoko Aka-something. She likes pink, she's a hero, she's from Japan, she's very cheerful, and she asks a lot of questions."

Squall shrugged. That was about it.

Re: Introduce Your Partner

[heromaniac]

Momoko raised her hand.

"My partner is Squall Leonhart, and he's from Balamb Garden, which totally isn't a real garden, they just call it that. He used to be a type of mercenary but now he's a bodyguard and he uses both a weapon (which he won't let me try)" she pouted over at him, "and magic in his job."

She raised an eyebrow and grinned a moment before adding the next bit. "And he's totally grumpy but seems really nice so far, even if it's hard to get him to talk much."

Talk to the Teachers

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Who are equally amused and irritated, why yes. Wait for them to ping in.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Genesis was still leaning back in his chair and profoundly ignoring any glowering from his 'partner' of the semester.

But, he was there to discuss things with his class should they need him. It amused him to pretend to be a true teacher.

For a little while.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[raspberryturk]

And if anybody were to ask Reno, pretending was absolutely what Genesis was doing, here.

Jerk. If anyone needed Reno, he was going to be right there at the front of the class, scowling some more.

OOC

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

We’ve got two TA slots, this semester--One is already spoken for! If you would like a go at the other, feel free to ping to either one of the teachers to ask about it, and they’ll hash it out between them who gets to take slot number two!

Actual results might involve Rock, Paper, Scissors.
