Cross Species Communications - Monday - 7th Period (Week 1)

[spit-spot.livejournal.com]

She quite liked this new fangled white board, it wasn't dusty at all. So she could be sure that chalk wouldn't mar her smart black dress with the shiny brass buttons. Her freshly starched apron crackled as she turned to regard each student as they entered and took their seat. She was looking from student to student searchingly, as if she was trying to decide if she liked them or not. Students who passed near her would note she smelled faintly of newly made toast.

Finally she closed her eyes, inhaled deeply through her nose, and nodded.

They'll do.

"Good day children." she said. "I am Mary Poppins and I am hear to teach you Beginning and Intermediate Creature Languages. Or, as the class has been dubbed this year, 'Cross Species Communications'."

"I have here a description of the lessons, from the previous teacher, Professor Morphius. We will be covering some languages that were introduced last year. When that is the case the students who took that class last year, and I do mean all of you, will assist the beginning students. My Teacher's Assistant is Walter Dornez. Walter? Will you be so kind as to pass out the papers with the Class Rules please sign the paper and turn it in."

Mary stood up, she appeared to have a tape measure in her hands.

"As you turn it in please state your name and tell us a little something about why you are taking this class. After which, we will see how you measure up..."

She pulled a bit of tape measure out and let it snap back.

"After every one has introduced themselves, you may all go early."

Chat while Walter Passes out the rules.

Not that you would talk in class about anything other then the subject of talking to animals.

Oh no.

Walter got up and passed out the rules when Miss Poppins asked him to. Following orders wasn't a particularly foreign sort of thing for him, after all.

Introduce yourself and be measured

ooc: If you have not already, GO HERE (http://spit-spot.livejournal.com/940.html) and read about the tape measure. Otherwise, I'll make something up. :)

"I'm Schrodinger!" Schro said brightly. "And I'm taking this class because... well..." he touched his cat ears. "Should be pretty obvious."

Walter stood up, even though he'd already met Miss Poppins and been measured. "I'm Walter Dornez. I took this class in the Spring and I'm back because my employer chose the class for me, but I would be here anyway because I found it very useful."

"Carmela Rodriguez," Carmela introduces herself. "And I'm taking this class because I love languages of any kind."

"Naomi Wildman," Naomi said, "I'm taking this class because I've always found learning languages fascinating, I haven't had the opportunity to learn that many though,"

"I'm Lana Lang," Lana said with a smile. "I'm here because I find the idea of being able to understand and communicate with animals fascinating."

[chasingangela]

"I'm Angela Chase," Angela said. "I'm here because I would love to be able to understand what animals say, and make myself understand them."

"I'm Dawn Summers, and I'm here because you can never know too many languages."

"I'm Cedric Diggory, ma'am. I took a class similar to this back in my former school but it was more about care of creatures rather than communication."

Ranma appears to be watching Schrodinger very carefully, and also keeping himself as far away as possible from him. "I'm Ranma Saotome. And I'm not sure why I'm in this class..." he mumbbles the last bit. "..But I guess telling cats to leave me alone might be a good skill.."

"Willow Rosenberg," Willow said. "I'm here because I have a lot of friends who are animals, and it'd be nice to be able to speak to them in their language. Do you think we'll be learning turtle this semester, Miss Poppins?"

"I'm Kaoru Hitachiin." Kaoru smiled pleasantly, "And I'm taking this class because I enjoy learning useful languages."

"I'm Stark," said Stark. "I took Creature Languages, in the spring. I liked it. And I thought it would be good to learn more."

"I'm Molly Hayes," Molly said. "I'm here because I learned a lot last spring and I figured it couldn't hurt to learn more."

"I'm River Tam, and I'm taking this class in order to communicate better with animals. I don't know if that includes Berthold."

Re: Introduce yourself and be measured

[notajar]

"I'm Door," Door says simply. "I like animals; they understand more of what we say than most people think. I can speak with rats and pigeons, but I'd like to learn more."

Re: Introduce yourself and be measured

[notawitch.livejournal.com]

"I'm Will Vandom. I'm taking this because I guess I thought it would be handy to be able to talk to different things."

She secretly hoped that Frog would be one of the animal languages covered.

Any questions?

You probably don't want to know the evil suggestion that automatically springs to my mind.
