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

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."

[ooc: wait for ocd Class is in session!

"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?"

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

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

Carmela looks thoughtful as she ponders what she'd just heard. "I can't pin it down exactly, but it sounds like the kind of language an underwater creature would speak. And at least *part* of that was a standard greeting."

"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."

"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.

More evil than that.

Lana turned bright red at the measurement.

Language. She was supposed to be focusing on the language. "Um..." She thought about it hard, but finally had to shake her head. "I'm sorry, Miss Poppins, but I have no idea."
