@Regitnui I hope Zeke likes granola. XD

[Aiyanna]

@Regitnui Haven't heard of those shows nor watched them, but doesn't sound all too bad.

[Pseudo Stygian]

I was planning on going to the greenhouse to join Zeke but apparently I am as distracted as Lyra is. I hope Vera don't mind if we might or might not spend a while bothering a flying teacher.

@Zelosse Most anime has a pretty good grasp of alternating being both serious and light-hearted/funny in the same scene, so if it's like what I'm thinking, that'll be a pretty good direction for the RP to go later on. (Also, whoa, I finally found someone who watches/read Nurarihyon no Mago?)

[Regitnui]

@Kalleth he hates granola crumbs on his face... And he was outside, I think.

@Pseudo Stygian *fistbump* I quite enjoyed it myself. First of the Japanese mythology anime I watched. Manga ends better though.

[Old Amsterdam]

@Aiyanna not needy, it's completely understandable.

Forgive me if I forget a warning (just never had to before), but I don't think we'll get that ugly.

[Lord Orgasmo]

Weebs! All of you!

[Carlyle]

Weebs! All of you!

@Lord Orgasmo

I have one word for you. Explosion.

@Aquanthe

EK-U-SPU-LO-SHIN!

[Old Amsterdam]

@Lord Orgasmo ehhhh. I'll tentatively allow that title to be used on me. XD

[Kalleth]

@Regitnui I fixed it so that it makes sense now.

[Lord Orgasmo]

I'm somewhat tempted to make my meme character, Ysran, but Eldritch stuff isn't allowed :(

[Stern Algorithm]

I wouldn't mind letting Catherine be everyone's homeroom teacher. Even though I put her down as teaching philosophy, few high schools (at least in America where I live) actually teach philosophy so I might have her also teach math/logic as a prerequisite to her higher-level elective philosophy courses.

[Regitnui]

@Stern Algorithm, that'd be great. It'd especially give all of us first-years a good reason to know you and interact with you.

[Old Amsterdam]

@Stern Algorithm it would definitely give options for more character interaction with that particular teacher, what with all these newbies running around.

[Hammerman]

@Stern Algorithm
Where's Catherine floating again? Kanako is heading to the rooftops and I'm wondering if she can see her too.

[Kalleth]

I'm curious, do we need any more teachers?

As far as I know, staffwise there is;

Stargazer (Nurse)

Catherine (Philosophy/Math/Logic)

The Headmaster

Xavier (Chemistry)

So I would definitely be game to play a teacher also. It seems to me like more than anything we're missing...

A GYM TEACHER!

Can I make a gym teacher? PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!

Screw it, I'm going to make a proposal. It's going to be awesome.

[Kalleth]

@Zelosse My Gym Teacher proposal, Coach Manilow! :D

Also while I have your attention, I was wondering, it seems like we really ought to have some kind of proper map of the Academy, or at the very least a list of locations for reference, to make sense of everything. Is that something we should put together?

My Teacher Proposal

Name: Jordan Manilow
Age: 42
Element: EARTH (Sand Specialization)
Appearance:

Appearance

Personality: Jordan Manilow is a go-gettin' arse-kickin' sand-spittin' kind o' guy. He ain't afraid of gettin' grit in his teeth and puttin' his nose to the grindstone to do what needs doin'.

In short, Mr. Manilow can be a hardass. But he's also the loudest, funniest, and most charismatic guy in the room, when he's not making you do laps. To call Mr. Manilow the quintessential coach figure does not do him justice, since he will insist he wrote the book that the quintessential coach reads every morning. So maybe he's full of himself, but he also can get right down to earth with his students when it's called for. The Headmaster himself has been at the business end of Mr. Manilow's pep talks, and let's just say that there's a reason why Mr. Manilow demands ultimate respect from his students whenever Kano makes an appearance. In four words, Mr. Manilow is;

Enthusiastic - Probably too enthusiastic. Ask the kids lying on the ground puking their guts out. Still, he brings out the best
in people.

Crass - There's a no bad language policy in Mr. Manilow's class. The exception being Mr. Manilow himself of course. The female
staff don't always find his sense of humour amusing. Mr. Manilow's reputation precedes him.

Uncompromising - Once Mr. Manilow has his sights set on something, you'll do it, or die trying. Trust me, you'd rather die than
fail to impress him. That said, failing may have been his intention all along. He's fair, but ruthless too.

Attentive - Although he can be an uncompromising ass, Mr. Manilow is always watching for the wellbeing of his students, and he
can tell when they're spent, or won't be able to do as he wishes. Years of observation have brought him a gift, and
he is scarily observant at times.

History: Mr. Manilow used to be a drill sergeant in the military. Before that, he used to be a special operations operative, performing highly classified missions. Needless to say, only Kano knows the full extent of his background. It's heavily implied that some kind of injury led to Mr. Manilow becoming a teacher at the Academy, although he has no visible injuries, which can be a source of gossip at times. However it is quite clear that Mr. Manilow has put his past behind him, and that he loves to teach the kids how to be fit, capable, active youth. He also gets a kick out of thrashing them with elementalism.

Equipment: Mr. Manilow's signature teaching implement, is a

willow rod

, which he often threatens to use, rarely if ever actually employs. In actual fact, he uses it as his primary aid in both "dowsing", as well as for climbing, fighting, etc.
Class Taught: Gym/Fitness/Martial Arts

[CriticalHit]

Ok... wow that is a lot of posts that happened while I was gone, seriously a guy goes to sleep for a few hours and he comes back to a veritable maelstrom of posts. Regardless, I've now got to figure out where to come in, seeing as the nurses office is a touch crowded I may just slide my way over to the greenhouse.

[Aiyanna]

@CriticalHit Would Silas want to hang out with Zafiriel? She's about to storm out of the office (now writing)

[Zelosse]

@Kalleth I suppose a working chart of notable places about the school would be a wise thing to do. Though I'm a very lazy type of person so getting that done would take a bit.

Mmmmm... do I really need more teachers..
