CLASSES BEGIN



CLASSES BEGIN

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.

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

[She's left it up to him to pick a topic again. It's torture, and part of why he tends to leave conversations abruptly. He used to be better at this, superficial nonsense chatting; but he's broken and he doesn't have the energy for that anymore. It's too hard to be fake.]

That's good?

[He'd run if he could.]

[She doesn't fully realize that she's making things hard for him here, but that awkward tone when he responds does seem to have clued her in a little bit.]

You okay?

I'm fine.

[It's automatic and lie. But then he laughs, because it's just so weird. Icebreakers. Normal shit. Right after a not-insignificant number of students and faculty flipped out during the Hunt.]

Welcome to hell, Becky~!
