Office Hours (01/17/2006)

[romanywitch]

Jenny sat in her office and combed through attendance records for last week. She was expecting the students who had expressed an interest in Magical Theory as an independent study course to drop by.


OOC: Due to the fact that two of three of those students have access issues today, I expect that this is going to be slowplayed. (Anyone else interested? Stop by.)

"Bummer," said Jenny. "This could be a problem. You report it to Dean Zordon and Principal Smith yet? Not to mention the police?"

Though she was pretty sure that the treating doctors were required to report any instances of injuries resulting from felonies or possible abuse to the authorities. Still, she didn't know the local doctors.


OOC: It's part of Jenny's job--based on my understanding of a school teacher's job--to report any signs of physical abuse to the school administration and the local child protection services. But since we only have school admin IG, I'm giving you fair OOC warning that Jenny is going to be reporting this to Dean Zordon and possibly also Principal Smith tomorrow during their office hours. Sorry, I don't want to mess up your plot, but this is something that I cannot ignore and remain IC.

"Principal Smith is aware of what happened, thank you, Ms. Calendar," Phoebe said with a soft smile.


[[OOC: Principal Smith and Phoebe are already talking. ;) Thank you for the heads-up, but I would totally understand Jenny doing something like that.I do realize that it's very in character for her.]]

Jenny nodded once, then continued on. She didn't need to push someone who was so obviously upset. "Good," said Jenny. "Glad to hear that. Now, let's move on. You're interested in Magical Theory as an independent study, correct?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe liked Jenny for not pushing her right now. The attack was still too fresh in her mind.

"Yes, ma'am, I am. I recently found out I was...well, what I am. I believe, as does my sisters and my boyfriend, that I could learn a lot from your class."

[romanywitch]

"Great," said Jenny. "So do you have a specific focus you wanted to take, or did you just want to cover the standard course material in an independent study format?"

[sensethevisions]

"Protection and defense?" Phoebe asked, looking down at the floor for a moment.

"Ms. Calendar, I almost died Friday night because someone was able to get into my mind and scramble it. Do you know of anything I can do...to at least prevent that amount of damage again?" She swallows. "I wouldn't mind learning what you're teaching the class...but those are three things that are foremost in my mind."

[romanywitch]

"I'm afraid that's one thing I can't do," said Jenny. "One thing that I promised the administration of this school when I proposed teaching Magical Theory was that I absolutely would not be running a practicum on how to work magic. However, If you're interested in learning the theory behind defensive magic in an independent study format, we can certainly work with that."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "Yes, please, Ms. Calendar. I would like to learn the theories on a lot of how things work in the world of magic. But the theory of defensive magic is definitely number one on my list."

[romanywitch]

"Sounds like a plan," said Jenny. "Got an add form for me to sign?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe handed her the add form.

[romanywitch]

Jenny signed the add form for Magical Theory, added the 'independent study' note, and, with a smile handed it back to Phoebe.
