"So it seems this is our last class today? How... unfortunate, really," she said with a faint smile as her students filed in.

"It always seems that we have just gotten to the interesting material around when these basic courses end, and as such, I should hope I see at least a few of you in the classes after this one. That said, exams are a necessary evil, and one you'll have to get through today.

"We'll begin immediately..."

[ocd coming up!]

She was just putting her things onto her desk and unwrapping the scarf from her shoulders as the class walked in. She looked over the assembled and let them filter into their seats before she was ready to speak and once they had, leaned against her desk to start.

"Nearly done, nearly done, aren't we?" she said with a soft and almost sad little smile.

"( Today, we will not be discussing metal nor laboratory work; instead, we will be discussing alchemy as a spiritual and psychological tool. )"

"No lecture today," she said with a faint smile to her students as they made their way in. "As I'll be doing two metals next week.

"Just a movie for today. Enjoy."

She set up the video at the front, left out a basket with a few pieces of moddable fruit, and finally slipped back to her desk to rest her head. A late onset of fall allergies was wrecking havoc with her sinuses.

Abigail Irene Garrett looked rather serious today, considering what they'd be doing. The lab equipment was out, there were no handouts, but she had a pointer in her hands and a piece of chalk sitting next to her that was going to get some use.

"Good afternoon, students. If you could take your seats? We'll be discussing one of the most dangerous and confusing elements in alchemy: ( mercury. )
[ocd coming up!][sorry for the later]

She was quite pleased to see her class this morning, considering, and as they filed in, they might notice more lab equipment up on the tables, as well as a handout.

"Today, we will be working with Gold, the noblest element in alchemical study. No doubt, upon hearing the word 'alchemy', you thought of 'making gold', but as you will hopefully learn as the semester progresses, such a search is far more of a spiritual and mental concern for the modern alchemist than a physical one.

( Gold... )

A rather harried Abby Irene was at the front of the class, setting up some video equipment. Most specifically, she was making sure that the television and DVD player were hooked up properly.

"Good morning, class," she greeted them as they made their way in.

"My apologies for today, but as I spent most of the last week as a dog," and one joke about bitches and she would not be held accountable, for goodness sake, "we'll be watching a short film on alchemy and I'll ask you to look over this article on a rather famous female alchemist for homework."

in a moment!

As today was mostly going to be a lecture class, there hadn't been much of anything to set up. Abby Irene sat at the front of the class, leaning against her desk, and the students filed in as they would. There was nothing on their desks but a number of papers and nothing on the board for the moment. That would soon change, of course, as she launched into the lecture... but they should enjoy it for the meantime.

"I certainly hope you came into class today prepared for a bit of work. I know a few of you will have it somewhat easier for having been in my last class, but for all I know the others might have some passing familiarity with beastiaries which could provide them the same advantage. That said, let's dig into this, shall we? I promise, this should be the least explosive class of the semester."
