The Art of Peace; Thursday, Third Period [09/01].
The students would enter the classroom to find that all the usual desks had been removed or simply moved over to the side, replaced instead with a ring of various cushions and pillows arranged in a circle at the center of the room. And already sitting on one of those cushions, of course, was a rather large man with a very pink kimono draped over his shoulders and a straw hat on his head, hunched over slightly as his sipped as a cup of tea. As they came into the room, he would look up with a crooked, sleepy sort of a smile and invite them in with a rumble of a voice that matched, gestures for them to come have a seat and offering a cup of the tea for themselves.
"And now I believe," he said, once it seemed anyone who was going to show up had, those who were going to get settled were settled, and it was probably a few minutes past the starting time by now, anyway, "it's time for us to begin ♥. Welcome, my ducklings, to the Art of Peace, wherein we shall, together, go on a journey through a gentler, more pacifist approach to life, especially when all signs may otherwise point toward war ♥. It's a rather broad topic, sometimes a rather difficult one, as well, and it will not all be just sitting around and waxing intellectual about such concepts. But that is, mostly," here he passed them all a grin, "what we will be doing today ♥.
"With it being toward the end of the week," he continued, "I've sure none of you will be surprise to hear that I would like to use today to get to know each other ♥. More importantly, though we may all indeed be sitting, I'd like to know where you stand on our topic at hand. Are you a staunch pacifist, much like myself? Do you tend to lean more warlike, but you're interested to see a different perspective? Are you here because someone out there clearly thinks they're very funny?" He chuckled softly. "Whatever the reason, it'll be good to understand where we're all coming from, to better see where it is we might be able to go ♥."
He took a slow sip of his tea, and then softly set it in front of him.
"I'll go first ♥," he said, and thus the class began in earnest.
