[b][color=bc8dbf] "For this extra pet, you will be required to do an extra duty. When we go to The Village, you are to make sure that everyone is upstairs by the time the floor closes. You know what happened when someone is caught down there since the two of you were a bit tardy at leaving." Lady Violetta spoke firmly. [/color][/b] [b][color=39b54a] "Yes, I remember. Don't you Ayaka? Can we visit....." Mystique asked. [/color][/b] [b][color=bc8dbf]"Yes for a half hour or so. Let me think of how long and I'll let you know later." Lady Violetta spoke with a smile. "But for now, I need to do the Village Lecture. I am skipping the bedroom floor since there is something that has come up and I need to take care of it right away. Thomas will be helping me. The two of you will be the ones who will keep a check on the others. Ask Elizabeth for help if you want to. All Students to the Floating Spiral Staircase." Lady Violetta announced as she walked to the staircase. "Before we go down to the Village, I will tell you the Rules of the Academy. Here are the ones that I have set up at this time. 1) Respect each other and yourself. 2) No dissing, put downs or negative thoughts or speech. 3) No fighting is allowed at all. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked. 4) Try to include as many students as you can into your daily activities. 5) All students are required to be in class on and prepared to learn. That includes having your wand and PLTs as well as being able to demonstrate your homework or class work. 6) Pets are not always allowed in all classes. If they are not allowed, they are to be in your room. 7) Obey the curfew. No ifs, ands or buts about this. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked. 8) Remember the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. 9) Keep your rooms neat and tidy. 10) Keep yourself neat and tidy. Both of these rules pertain to professionalism. 11) Do your own work and do not try to cheat. The end of the semester you will go through a testing chamber by yourself. 12) If you act like a child, you will be put on a demerit/merit system until you can prove yourself to be professional magic user. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked. 13) Ask questions and learn from other student’s mistakes. There are more than enough to go around! 14) Ask questions of the Upper Classmates. They will know what is going on most of the time because they have lived here for a while. 15) I will make more rules as I see the need. “Now it is time to talk about The Village. The Village is a Self Check out. You will take a cart from the Cart Corral and place your laptop on the shelf provided. Then by WiFi, your laptop will connect to the scanner. As you choose items, you scan them and place them in your cart. If you decide not to get something, then push the return button and the scanner will take it off the total. Just remember that today is FREE DAY. It happens once a level. So take advantage of all that you care to take. But you must take care of what you want to have. On your laptop is a shopping list. It has what is required for each course. It has other items that you might like to have. ((If there is something you want and it is not listed, let me know so that I can add it to the List.)) I would for everyone to think of what you would like to do in six years. There are some things that that you must start now so that you can be able to leave in six years. I suggest that you take all Independent Classes because there is an Exit Exam at the end of your time here. In fact, between each Level will be an Exit Exam. Level Two did not get to go through it yet but they will this Level for it is nearly done. More details when I have them. Now everyone will follow Ayaka and Mystique to the Village and so as they do. Mystique will assist with the Cart Corral while Ayaka will do Safety Duty. Have fun shopping on Free Day. Be sure to check in your PLTs ((second post is where the PLTs information will be posted.)) for what is available in each store.. When the Village Clock chimes, you have fifteen minutes left. At five minutes left, there will be a warning chimes and you had better leave before it stops chiming because the Creepers will be allowed out soon afterwards." Lady Violetta finished up her lecture. [/color][/b] [b] [color=39b54a] Mystique headed down stairs and stood at the Cart Corral. Once everyone was down there she explained what to do. "All cart have a place where you put your PLTs. It will connect to the scanner automatically. Your cart is the same as your room number. We will be having supper here tonight at The Café. In your PLTs will be a list of what is in each store. Some items are required items and the rest would be optional. Do get more than what you think that you will need particularly in the snacks for your pet and or dragon. It is expensive the rest of the time. Be sure to get all of the Freebies because this is the only time to get food lockers and the new items. Which there is a new Virtual Series! Be sure to get them. Your cart can hold everything because it is a Virtual Cart. When you are done shopping and ready to go upstairs, put your cart in its spot and it will magically appear in your room. The place where it is put is in the small elevator. You can then put away your items and put the cart back into the elevator." [/color][/b]
