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.

Ah... It must be a sore topic, given her... circumstances.

[ Last survivor of your whole civilization is a really tough thing to just carry around, even if by looking at Allura, James doesn't think you'd ever be able to tell. ]

For you, though... I wonder why Toki even had that vision, even though they have no immediate relevance to you. Are you worried?

...That, I'm not sure of. Not right now.

[ she shakes her head. ]

I feel as though I should be, but part of me doesn't want to be worried at all. Does that make sense?

As much sense as it can make to me, I think. My family situation's a whole lot different, so I can't say I truly comprehend what it's like for you...

[ He's starting to think that his relationship to his parents is way further from ideal than he'd ever assumed, but it's still... nowhere close to what other people go through. ]

You don't owe them your concern, even if they're family. This seems like a special case.

...Thank you.

[ she smiles at him. hearing that sort of validation is...nice. ]

I needed to hear that. I'll think on it some more, but right now I'd prefer to keep my nose out of it and continue to pursue my education here.
