Arrival of an Fae and Network Post

[upwardspiral]

Arrival
[Unlike many of the returning or arriving facility, Primrose doesn't return on a helicopter. Instead, in an outdoor garden, a few people gather. One of them, a faculty member, steps up and utters the name Primrose thrice.

And Primrose is simply there, in a colorful gown and holding two pink pleather suitcases with a travel bag slung across her shoulders.]

My, it is most wonderful to return to this delightful school! I simply must catch up with what I've missed in my too long absence. It's been... two months, have it? Ah, yes, I didn't forget souvenirs.

[And with that, she simply begins handing out bizarre Outland candy to anyone present. Including the faculty members here to welcome her, the couple or so students roped into helping, and anyone happening to stumble upon the scene.]

Network, un: primrose, text in several languages
I have returned to this lovely school! Ah, the sight of students full of possibilities bustling around. Truly this garden is full of wonderful saplings. The Outlands might be lovely in their own way, but I missed this school. Truly it is my calling to help the defenders against that detestable Nightfall realize their potential! Alas, such a tragedy, threatening to snuff out all of wonderful humanity! Truly I'll strive my utmost to help you overcome it!

But I digress. I would like to announce that my Breaking Barriers class is now open for enrollment. What is Breaking Barriers, you may ask? It is, quite simply, two weeks of accelerated training. Ah, the beautiful toiling to push past your limits! Oh, yeah, I should mention that it's an elective class and if you pass, that is, if you continue the whole two weeks, not only will you experience the benefit of breaking through your limits but it'll go toward your transcript! And should you not pass, that is, leave the class before the two weeks are complete, why, it won't count against you at all!

In short, you've got nothing to lose by joining!

Wildcard
[She's also bustling around the campus, getting settled back in. Should you run across her or meet her in her office, she'll promptly hand you some of the weirdest candy you might have seen.]

[ Oh hey. That's way better than carrying stuff. Peter's opinion of her instantly improves, regardless of what this actually tastes like. He undoes the wrapper to take a better look at it. ]

You're a Fae? I thought they were like ...

[ He makes a gesture with his hand, measuring out about six inches between thumb and forefinger. Those are the only Fae he's seen, anyway. ]

Oh, we come in all sizes and shapes. As small as that and as large as mountains. Why, I once was naught but a humble flower! Speaking of Fae, you'd better be careful around them. They can be unpredictable. Take me, for example. I'm always helpful without fail, but I've been told my way of helping can be rather strange! And most fae aren't as benevolent. Not as malevolent as daemons oft are, but more capricious.

[Oh look, she just slipped into teacher mode.]

But if you want to know more, you can take my Surviving Fae class.

[The candy... looks just like an eye. A candy eye. It's rather accurate, but you can just about tell it's made out of sugar. The name printed on the wrapping is actually a sticker that's been added to it.]

[made_up_names]

You used to be a flower? Like, literally?

[ He's not sure how that works? Are all Fae secretly flowers?? He's not sure if he's supposed to ask that question or not.

Anyway. That actually makes him brighten with interest. ]

Actually I do wanna do that. I'm - uh, especially curious.

[ He can't say that he wants to learn more about Orihime's fairy friends, but that's definitely why. ]

[upwardspiral]

Why, yes. I was but a simple primrose, content to simply grow and spread pollen and all that usual flower business. But then a passing fae infused power into me. As for why, who knows? Such are the whims of the fae. But with the turning of the upward spiral, I became the person I am today. And, yes, I will gladly accept you into my class!

[made_up_names]

Great. Uh.

[ A pause. ]

Congrats on not just being a flower any more? I guess I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

[upwardspiral]

Such is life! There is no right or wrong answer in the river of life. If you said something, why, that's the right thing to say! Or rather, there's nothing you're supposed to say. And nevertheless, here we are, conversing!

[She pauses.]

But I admit I'm rather terrible at philosophy.

[made_up_names]

[ Yeah he's reasonably certain that's not how it's supposed to work. ]

That's why you're teaching Fae stuff instead I guess.

[upwardspiral]

That and art class! Plus the occasional special training course!

[made_up_names]

Special training course? Like the breaking barriers thing?

[upwardspiral]

Indeed, indeed, it is precisely that!
