Abnormal Psychology (10-27-05)

[crazyvampchick]

The classroom is painted dark green and there are deep red roses all over the room. Some are real, some are silk. Professor Drusilla is sitting at her desk, combing Miss Edith's hair and braiding it, then undoing it and starting all over again.

"No one wanted to discuss last time." Drusilla stares at the students. "Those who don't complete the entire assignment, written and verbal, shall fail. My new teaching assistant is going to introduce himself today.

On the board is written, "Tell me what you think of your parents. Do you like them? Do you dislike them? Did your daddy kill your mummy with a thousand little bites? One hundred words.

And if you don't discuss this time, you'll fail. Do you want to me to fail you and send you to detention?

There is a sign-in sheet on her desk.

There are also notes pinned to the board:

Re: ESSAYS - TELL ME ABOUT YOUR MOTHER (AND YOUR FATHER)

[[ooc: For those FMA watchers/readers, I don’t know if his background is discussed in the manga but it’s not in the anime, so I’m taking this from an idea I got from a fanfic, and embellishing very liberally.]]


I was born on a farm. My parents weren’t happy with the idea of me leaving the family business and property that had been in our family for over 90 years to study alchemy. The fact that I’m a single child didn’t help, as they have no other heirs.

I loved my parents, but I couldn’t wait to get away from their life. My father met my mother during the only trip he took abroad as a young man. My mother was from a country far to the East, which is why I’ve got darker hair, different eyes, and a paler complexion than the typically blond- and brown-haired citizens of Amestris. I used to resent that as child, but now I appreciate the memory-recognition it gives me in people I meet.
