Dream appears relatively cheerful today. The room seems a little bigger and sunnier, and the juice and pastries he set out might be especially delicious.

Languages of Europe: We have a quiz on conjugation of regular -er verbs today. In addition, we're going to discuss regular -ir verbs. The verb form that ends in -ir is called the infinitive (in English, the infinitive is the verb preceded by the word "to"). -ir is the infinitive ending. The verb without the -ir is called the stem or radical.

To conjugate an -ir verb, remove the infinitive ending and then add the appropriate endings, as follows:
je -is; tu -is; il -it; nous -issons; vous -issez; ils -issent. For example, choisir -- to choose -- is conjugated je choisis, tu choisis, il choisit, nous choisissons, vous choisissez, ils choisissent.

Cat: We have a special guest today,

groovy_cat. Cat, let me know when you wish to lead your talk. I understand you have some experience with a cat God that might interest my students?

Cat, when you're ready?

*Signs in and waits for the Cat.*

Cat dances into the classroom, he's holding 2 bouquets of flowers, as he's heard there are females in the class.

He stands in front of the class and checks his reflection.

"Right then buddies let me tell you about my friend Cloister the Stupid, the God of the cat people! He taught us about our holy mother Frankenstein who had a virgin birth and so began the cat people, he also told us that heaven is a hotdog and doughnut diner where everyone would wear the sacred cardboard hat. It was these hats that lead the cat people into a holy war, over whether these hats should be red or blue, the race was divided by this war and both sides set off in search of our sacred land Fuchal. Only the sick and lame remained on board the sacred vessel Red Dwarf and so they were the only ones to survive."

He coughs and hopes the class won't realise that means his parents were a cripple and a jellybrain.

"Anyway as it turned out the hats should have been green, so they all died for nothing. Cloister also taught us that..." he looks around in case someone hears, "it is a sin to be cool!" he smirks, "so I guess I'm going to hell right buddies?"

He thinks for a few momnets trying to remember if he's forgotten anything important.
"Oh yeah and it turned out Cloister the Stupid was really my buddy the monkey, Lister, cool huh? I lived with the God of the Cat People! So...any questions?"

Dream listens to the story with his arms folded, nodding. "Why donuts?" he asks.

Cat shrugs, "he never said, if you'd known him you'd have thought he'd have gone for a curry house, but no, hotdogs and donuts it was."

Michael blinks at the Cat in some disbelief, but listens politely nonetheless.

*signs in*

Sir, due to some...concerns about my recent, er, shapeshifting, I would prefer to avoid turning into a cat unless absolutely necessary?

*pop*

*huffy sigh* Mrawr.

//Never mind.//

Dream is concerned.

//This makes you the third student in this class to involuntarily suffer time as a cat.

I think transformations are suspended for the remainder of term. I don't know why the magic is going awry, but if it is...//

Mrrreewreee.

//We think it's the book; not the class. But that's...probably for the best.//

//At least the class allows you to communicate more easily.

Still -- yes, it is for the best.//

Paige signs in and listens to The Cat, trying to figure out if he's wearing that suit for a bet and why he keeps winking at her.

((his comment just needs unscreening I believe!))

[OOC: Done. My comment notifications are broke again, woe.]

((that's what we figured, luck I was here really!))
