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.

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

Honestly, this place being as weird as it is never really hit me? Like- magic school to prevent the apocalypse, once I accepted what I hear is real that was easy.

*She also had a lot going on already, that drowning numb that built around her helped keep down the shock. A numb that was currently missing, calm and actually dealing with her feelings instead of hiding from them.*

I'm guessing you've had your powers longer than you've been here?

[nevernoaction]

I've had my powers since I was young. It's only since coming here that I've managed to put them to better use.

So...maybe that'll happen for you.

[lastexit]

Well, knowing what I hear is real has already helped a lot. I just need to learn more things I can do to make use of my freaky hearing.

Hearing when something's dangerous, or when someone's had a rough life is one thing. Turning that into help is something I'm not really set up to handle. Since I barely keep myself together most days.

[nevernoaction]

Your magic could be really useful though.

Maybe with enough practice, you could pinpoint where dangerous magic or monsters are before they get too close.

I'm learning to try to cast calm on something I'm fighting so even if it doesn't get calm, it gets distracted. That's more than enough to help a group of Hunters.

[lastexit]

I can do a lot of that, and then die horribly being unable to defend myself.

*She knew her value... she just also knew her limits. And then she stewed in the thoughts for too long.*

I could try throwing my silence around more though, that'll disorient anything. I've gotten better at controlling it.

*Not that Maya's silence helped her, people might be upset if she flooded the room with silence. There'd be panic and chaos.*

[nevernoaction]

There are ways to use power. I think this place just helps expand your horizons on that and other things, most of all.

If you ever need a little time to just be calm, you can come find me.

[lastexit]

It's helped just by confirming I have powers.

*She's mostly done eating, she's eaten more than normal thanks to her anxieties being temporarily suppressed. So she'll just pick up to go.*

Thanks for the offer, good to have a few people who aren't really distracting to hear. Your sword will make it easy for me to find you, you wearing that all the time?

[nevernoaction]

Yes, it's part of the office. So if you do need to talk to me, I'm sure you'll find me first.
