Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Monday 1:00-3:00 pm

Seimei moved fluidly, albeit a bit slower than usual as he entered the class. He sank to the floor amid his pillows and composed the in-class discussion question.

Displaying his customary scroll across the front of the class:

Discussion question –

What was considered the center of Roman civilization?

“Also, an announcement,” Seimei’s baritone voice rang clearly through the classroom. “Due next Monday, September 26 is a longer written assignment to discuss the following question.”

He rolled out a secondary scroll.

Examine Roman history and analyze the effect the Roman expansion and empire had on Rome from 509 BC to 180 AD.

“No negotiations on due date.”

((ooc: edited to add)) “Please drop by the roster page to verify your name is on the roll for the correct class. I will be keeping stricter tally of who shows up in class and who does not.”

Ha! I knew it! *laughs* I myself can't find a good government-type and not want to beat 'em up!

In Europe? Let's see...mostly just stop offs here and there, like France once and Germany, I think. *scratches head* I never know where I'm at on Earth, it's too complicated! I remember Siberia, though. *shudders* Waaaaay too cold, and that coming from someone used to living in outerspace...

Other than that? Just Japan and the Middle East on Earth--mostly I hang out in space. Or, you know, in prison on the Lunar Base. *laughs*

I'm a big fan of Earth, though. I just feel weird here, sometimes, ya know? Hey you should check out space! It's fun, I swear! Not everyone is out to kill you, mostly they're after me! *laughs*

*laughs* No, Siberia isn't the most pleasant of places really, is it? I've spent some time in Russia, and I have to admit, that tour wasn't one of the highlights.

I've been to the Middle East a couple of times; not so much Japan. Just the one stop off in Tokyo briefly.

*laughs again* I wouldn't say that... I might have had experiences involving things in space trying to kill me. Unfortunately, it's all classified.

Haha definitely. And, like I said, my Middle East experience wasn't so hot either. Then this one time in Singapore...mmmkay yeah that wasn't such a good time either. Much with the blowing stuff up that wasn't supposed to be blown up...

Classifed info, huh? *grins* That there is my specialty! If ya ever need a security system cracked, I'm your man! Dunno about Professor Jerusalem, though, and I'm a little wary about tryin'. *laughs*

*giggles* I've managed to avoid blowing stuff up thankfully. Made a few tempers blow from time to time though...

Highly classified, by the military. *laughs* I'd be wary about trying too, but at least I'll know where to come too

[02maxwell.livejournal.com]

Good for you, miss. *laughs*

Sure, anytime! I'm actually in the process of fixin' up something called ESPN2 for kawalsky--security on airwave signals is suprisingly low-tech. *grins*

*groans* I'm never going to see him again after this, am I? Although if your fiddling with the tv channels... I don't know if we get Showtime and HBO, but if we don't... *looks slyly across at Duo*

[02maxwell.livejournal.com]

Haha--he said he wanted it for hockey, so I guess this thing broadcasts sports? Actually, so far when I've tried gettin' that one signal he was after, I've just been pluckin' all of 'em outta the sky--so I'll just send whatever I find down to you folks. *grins* I've been tinkerin' with the satellite on the roof of the dorms, so if the quality starts to get crap, let me know and I'll build a new one. Not that hard, actually. *grins*

ESPN does, yes. HBO stands for "Home Box Office" - they've got some original shows and the like.
