CLASSES BEGIN

Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

Despite… other disturbances, the flow of time is inexorable. And so too, is the beginning of classes. The bells of Daybreak Academy peal joyfully as students are roused from their beds far earlier than they would prefer to attend their new classes. The Professors, of course, are also back in it, their classrooms (presumably) neatly dusted and arranged for the fresh new faces of this year’s crop, eager and ready to learn. Presumably.

A. OPENING BANQUET

As is the custom of Daybreak, a grand sumptuous banquet has been prepared for the night following the first day of classes. With entire pigs spit-roasted over open flame, chicken and beef of all sorts, juices, wines and beers from all over Europe, and of course the best breads and chocolates as befits a French school, the banquet is truly one for the record books. Of course, they say that every year.

B. SYLLABUS HANDOUTS

Most teachers at this point are handing out the syllabi for their next class, although a few more aggressive ones may have already launched fully into teaching. If you have questions about this quarter’s curriculum, now’s the time to voice it.

C. MEET AND GREET

With the new school year comes new opportunities to forge lifelong friendships. And what better way to do that than by partaking in cheesy icebreakers courtesy of your RAs? While hardly mandatory, RAs are highly encouraged to turn out their entire floor by being as annoyingly peppy and persistent as possible. At a school like this, it’s important to make new friends!

D. SOMETHING BLEW UP AGAIN

Daybreak Academy is a bit of an unusual school by any conventional standards. Daemons, fairies and youkai studying alongside humans that can call upon arcane power and bring forth divine light are hardly your usual fare. And this, of course, means that it’s usually a matter of hours before something blows up somewhere on campus. For new students, this might be a startling, shocking experience. For seasoned students, well, it’s just that time again.

EXPLOSIONS

[buddinghopes]

It sure did.

[Lia's not even looking up from her notebook, despite the fact that she clearly heard whatever it was blow up.]

It's exactly as common as you'd think in a place like this too.

[Kids from all sorts of backgrounds with powers they may or may not be able to control...]

[lifeforced]

Bet the infirmary sees a lot of kids in and out. [Has Lia been one of those kids, she wonders. Maybe not involving explosions, but you don't need explosions for someone to get hurt.]

[buddinghopes]

Ohhh, yes. Thankfully, I'm not one of them.

[lifeforced]

I'd hope not.

They probably won't see me a whole lot either, for uh, obvious reasons. [Obvious to Lia now, at least.] Unless they'd allow students to help out in some of their free time or something.

[buddinghopes]

Huh... I'm actually not sure. I imagine it'd be worth asking, though.

[lifeforced]

I bet it'd depend on how much the student's capable of, though. I told you what I can do and uh. It's not a whole lot? [Not currently. That may change with time.] If they were to let me help out it'd probably just be for smaller stuff.

Which would free them up for dealing with any bigger problems, I guess, but, still.

[buddinghopes]

Those powers will probably get stronger the more you use them, though. So you could probably work your way up.

[lifeforced]

See, that's the thing, Lia. I've had 'em since I was seven, and they've been getting put to use ever since. I'm not officially part of the Chain but whenever mom and dad got back from doing any of their work, if they'd gotten hurt and it wasn't too serious to handle, I'd give 'em both a hand. [Literally, as the only way to use her healing on others is by making direct contact.]

It hasn't really changed in any of that time.

Maybe there's something I'm missing.

[buddinghopes]

Could be it, yeah. Maybe it's something worth asking the people at the infirmary about? Mr. Hieke specializes in healing magic and stuff like that if I remember correctly, so maybe it's something you could ask him about.
