CLASSES BEGIN
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.
E. WILDCARD
For anything else that doesn’t fit in with any of the above prompts.

[ Though Rex largely rejects his role as a chosen hero, there are some things that just seep right into the bones. For example, he eats like a shounen protag. Rare footage of Rex eating. The stack of plates around him rapidly increases, his hands an endless blur and yet he never spills a single crumb. That'd be wasteful! He's going so fast and his reach is slong long people in his immediate vicinity might want to watch out- he's so in the zone he might end up eating off someone else's plate by mistake. ]
C.
[ Rex walks in, currently with a six-foot shining gold sword strapped diagonally across his back and a shield apparently made from blue gemstone over the top of that- ]
I'm Rex, I'm not around much.
[ Then spins on his heel and goes to walk back out. There's a little wobbling as he's still getting used to the weight, so there's time to say something to the 7'5 goblin. ]
D.
[ He's at it again. ]
Watch ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
[ That'd be Rex dropping out of the sky in a ball of fire, rolling up to his feet and dusting himself off. ]
...Carry on.
D.
[By now, Toki should probably expect these sorts of things to happen, but he doesn't. After a quick glance to make sure Rex is fine, he has questions.]
Oh my god! Did you learn how to fly!? Did you light yourself on fire or is that like a new wizard thing!? Do you want a automatic skylight door thingy in your warehouse!?
[Marcel sighs, nodding a little to Rex. At least his job is almost over and he'll be reassigned soon.]
no subject
[ Rex nods to Marcel before getting back to Toki. ]
Stay back for a bit. I'm still hot.
[ He pats off some more ash and dust, but the heat barrier has kept him from being burnt. Now then, time to answer those questions in order- ]
I could already fly. My fuel exploded, but it's magical fuel, so I suppose I set myself on fire and it's a wizard thing. I'll consider possible renovations- for now, I just walk in and out.
no subject
Okay!
[All of his questions have been answered sufficiently.]
Can I try it?
no subject
[ He can't imagine Toki means trying his fuel. Toki doesn't even have an aircraft!
Does he?
Nothing would surprise Rex at this point. ]
no subject
Yes! I mean, I could do without the fireball thing, but it's fine! We can try that too! As long as there's a skin barrier, which like, obviously, there is~!
no subject
[ Rex has come across the fact that his methods of magic are super complicated and weird even by mage standards, so he doubts he can teach Toki how to do it himself. ]
no subject
[He gives a pleading look to Marcel, because he's always wanted to fly. Unfortunately, that's a big no.]
Okay, well, I can't today, but like soon! I'll remember this!
[He will not.]
no subject
[ Rex pops out his phone and says what he’s typing. ]
‘Take Toki flying.’ There. On the to-do list.
[ Forgetting foiled. ]
no subject
Thank you! And I-I hope you're enjoying the warehouse...
no subject
I am. It's easily the best present I've ever been given.
no subject
I'm glad you like it and I hope your experiments are going well~! Are you working on anything really awesome!?
no subject
I'm not a good judge of awesomeness, but things are going well with the aircraft. A few explosions are to be expected.
[ No they're not, Rex. ]
I'm building a supercomputer, now I have the space for it. [ One, two, three- ] It won't have free will, so don't worry, it won't be able to overthrow mankind.
no subject
That's great~! Explosions are part of the process, I agree.
[They're also fun.]
A supercomputer!? Is it- oh. Okay. Just a normal one... but... Rex.
[He just thought of this right now, and he knows he's absolutely correct in his theory.]
Does Cassandra have free will? She has to, right? To like suck all the visions out of people!? Cassandra must be destroyed! The Seers aren't in charge, the computer is! Nightfall is a programmed simulation!
no subject
[ Rex thinks for a moment, wondering how his life got here. ]
...You know, I don't actually know if it has free will. I'll check.
[ He doesn't outright say Toki's belief is stupid, because you know what, it might not be. ]
I wouldn't say it's especially likely, though. And obtaining memories from people doesn't need free will.
no subject
[He shrugs. It's probably an algorithm.]
Anyway, why did you light yourself on fire?
no subject
[ Rex points at the handkerchief to ask for it back. ]
I usually wait ten minutes before I get back to work after an explosion.
no subject
[Toki has no idea what Rex is talking about. He hands over the handkerchief.]
Be more careful next time, okay?
no subject
One would say the food is quite good this year.
no subject
It's alright, I suppose.
[ Though the slight glow of satisfaction to his cheeks implies he's enjoying himself more than he says. As if that couldn't be told just by looking at him. ]
...Did I eat off your plate?
[ His brain is slowly catching up with his stomach, and he asks that with a genuinely quizzical look. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Rex considers taking food from people to be a pretty terrible thing to do and the gifting of it to be a big deal. So he's expressing quite a bit more than usual. ]
Please-
[ He pushes the plate back over. ]
