Arthurian Traditions (01/10)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

[[I have some OOC notes about the class and a class info post for assignments and readings for you. And yeah, I know I used it last time, but it's a good assignment.]]

"Madainn mhath dhuibh," Camulus intones to the class. "Good morning to you. This is Arthurian Traditions and I am Camulus your god. In this class you will be studying all aspects of the legends of Arthur, from their beginnings to modern times in this timeline. We will begin with the Celtic origins of the Arthurian legend and through medieval sources, looking at how it has evolved and changed. If we have time at the end of the semester we will look at Victorian resurgances of the legend, and maybe some of the earlier Welsh romances about peripheral figures in the Arthurian tales.

Before we begin, I wish for you to marshal your knowledge of the subject by preparing for next class a short paper, minimum of half a page, beginning with the words, 'I am Arthur, King of the Britons.'" He pauses. "You may not include the words 'coconut' or 'swallow' in your paper. I mean it.

"Please introduce yourselves to the class and you may have the rest of the period for the assignment."

Phoebe introduces herself. "I'm Phoebe, Professor Camulus' TA. Don't piss him off or you deal with me. Why? Because I'm his TA and I get annoyed if you make him angry because then I have to deal with him."

Phoebe says all of this with a very friendly smile.

Camulus just nods with a small smile at her introduction.

Phoebe grins and takes her perch seat.

Yuffie sorta blinks at the kinda scary TA, along with the scary but at least interesting sounding teacher. This? Was going to be an interesting class.

When it was time to introduce herself Yuffie stood cleared her throat. "I'm Yuffie Kisagari, and I'm not going to piss Professor Camulus off, cause I'm not going to get caught doing any thing am cool like that."

She then sits down and starts working on her assignment. Concidering she wasn't sure what the 'Britons' were, this might not be going all that well.

"Welcome to the class, Miss . . . Kisagari," Camulus replies. Because he wasn't practicing how to pronounce it last night. Nope.

"Oh, You can just call me Yuffie." Yuffie shot Camulus a smile. "Useing my last name makes me think I'm in trouble and I know I haven't done anything. Yet, at least."

Eyebrow raise. Imperious gaze. "Very well."

Lyta rose, not quite as intimidated as she was yesterday. Celtic Studies had gone relatively smoothly, and she guessed Professor Camulus had not been...displeased as yet. "Lyta Alexander." She nodded a hello to the other members of the class and seated herself.

"Ah, Miss Alexander. Good to see you again. It appears that we will be spending quite some time together over the next semester." His smile isn't really a smile.

[psi16.livejournal.com]

"Yes, it does appear that way, Professor." She returns a sickly-sweet smile, propping her chin in her palm. "I think I'll learn quite a bit."

"Uh, hi, Professor. I'm Boone Carlyle." Boone looks as if he is rather unsure of what to say or do, and looks at his pen and notebook.

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to the class, Mr. Carlyle," Camulus replies, scrutinising him for a moment before looking away, continuing to work on his lesson plans OMG I'm such a nerd something at his desk.

"Hi, I'm Allison Cameron," Allie says, noticing a few familiar faces in the room.

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Camulus nodded. "Hello, Miss Cameron. Welcome to the class."

"Charlie Kawalsky." Casual. Yes, casual was what he was trying to be. He was mostly successful.

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Kawalsky." Camulus doesn't take much note of him. He has no reason to. Just another student. But why was this one so very . . . not casual?

[[Latin homework . . . so . . . boring . . . interaction growing . . . difficult . . .]]

[[I know! Especially since his sarcophagus is currently sitting in the classroom. Can't wait. *grin*]]

John stands up when it's his turn. "I'm John Connor. Junior. I, uh. I think the Arthur myths are sweet." He sits down and spends his time wondering which class he should drop to take Tactics of War.

Macbeth stood, clearing his throat and speaking just loudly enough to mask the upset rumblings of his empty belly.
"I'm Macbeth." He had all but given up introducing himself as Thane anything. People were beginning to think that was his name, or something.
The assignment was an interesting one. It would be tough to accomplish, given that he had really only joined the class because it had been suggested to him, not because he actually knew what he was talking about.
But he would give it his best shot...
