Creative Writing- Monday- 1st period

[gotyoucookie]

So, uh. Nick really had the first class of the first day, huh. You really had to go and do that to him, school?

But he tried. He wore a tie. He got there early. He wrote his name on the board and underlined it for no discernible reason. (Emphasis.)

"Welcome to Creative Writing," Nick greeted them. "Where you will learn to write. Creatively."

And then he immediately buckled under the pressure.

"You know what's good? Introductions are good. Let's do those. Who are you?" Nick said, feeling like he had a great idea here. Just wait until he realized that took up like five minutes of class time, max.

You poor saps.

Introductions

[gotyoucookie]

Who are you?

He really should have asked for more. Buy a couple more minutes.

Write!

[gotyoucookie]

And about halfway through the second student saying their name, Nick realized he had to come up with more. Unfortunately that meant going with the first thing that came to mind.

"For your first assignment... write me what you'd be like if you were a toad."

Nick, why was that the first thing that came to mind.

"And if you all finish really fast you get to read them in front of the class!"

Okay that was actually brilliant stalling.

Read?

[gotyoucookie]

Did you not go super slow with your writing? Are you gonna read your toad story to everyone?

Talk to Nick

[gotyoucookie]

Why would you do that to him today?

OOC

[gotyoucookie]

Miles Morales

Forgive Miles for staring at you Nick. Your voice was so familiar.

Like. Scarily familiar.

"Uh. I'm Miles Morales. I'm a sophomore and from Brooklyn," he said slowly. Not because he didn't think Nick understood or that Miles was trying to drag out time in class. "And... yeah. Was there something more you needed to know? Favorite pastime? Favorite book?"

Re: Write!

[sparkinyou]

Okay. That was a different assignment. Or at least for a writing class.

"Do you need it to be a certain length?" he asked as he started putting together an outline for the assignment.

Re: Talk to Nick

[sparkinyou]

Sorry, Nick. Miles was a little freaked out about how similar your voice was to someone he already knew.

After class, Miles approached his new teacher, the look of confusion still on his face. "Mr. Miller? Can I ask you to say something for me?" he asked politely. "Just say: Spider-Man doesn't wear a cape."

Re: Introductions

[gotyoucookie]

"...Sure, all those things."

He was grateful to you, Miles.

Re: Write!

[gotyoucookie]

"Don't care! Long as it has words in it."

Please make it long.

Re: Talk to Nick

[gotyoucookie]

"Spider-Man doesn't wear a cape?" Nick said, frowning.

Tahani al-Jamil

Re: Introductions

[sexy_giraffe]

"I am Tahani al-Jamil," Tahani said.

Surely you've heard of her?

Re: Write!

[sexy_giraffe]

Tahani's hand was up immediately. "I don't want to be a toad."

Re: Introductions

[gotyoucookie]

"Okay."

He had not heard of her!

Re: Write!

[gotyoucookie]

"You're a toad though," Nick said.

Re: Write!

[sexy_giraffe]

"But no," Tahani said.

Re: Write!

[gotyoucookie]

"It's make believe with words!" Nick told her.

Re: Write!

[sexy_giraffe]

"Toads are not cute," Tahani countered.

Re: Write!

[gotyoucookie]

"Who cares? Write your feelings about how much it sucks," Nick said.

Re: Introductions

[sparkinyou]

"Oh! Okay," Miles replied. "My favorite book is really a series which is Lord of the Rings Or whatever the meta is and I'm really into making art. Mostly street art with spray pain and such."

Re: Talk to Nick

[sparkinyou]

Okay. The intonation was different but voice was the same. Miles just stood there for a moment looking confused.

"Okay. Sorry. You sound exactly like someone I know," he said shaking his head.

Re: Write!

[sparkinyou]

"Is there a specific toad you want us to be?" Miles asked.
