It didn't take long for a certain professor to appear after Criston even made a hint that it was now somebody else's turn.

Sashaying almost runway-style up to the podium before smiling at the Cross, Carmen Calandra dramatically flipped her hair to turn her head and body to the audience of students. She grinned as she surveyed the crowd in front of her, observing a mixture of emotions plastered across their faces. Eagerness, confusion, boredom, and naturally a couple of students who were outright asleep. It was no matter: they would be awake soon.

[color=orangered]"Hello,"[/color] she said in a quiet, melodious tone.

[color=orangered]"I'm Carmen Calandra, and you'll find that some of us are living specimens of successful Athalia graduates. You see, I and a few of my colleagues were once students in the Academy, just like you."[/color]

[color=orangered]"But now?"[/color]

Suddenly, the strawberry blonde woman exploded in an extravagant shimmer of bright colors into a gigantic gaseous bird, that stood perched on the podium with its elegant wings gracefully flapping in the wind.

[color=orangered]"We aren't afraid to show our true selves,"[/color] she said, with the same voice as before. The skylark presently became a fashionable female again, with a smirk on her face. With her huge sunhat and her trumpet slung on her back, she was unmistakable for anyone else. [color=orangered]"But anyway. I am the Director of Fashion at this Academy, and I teach all of the fashion courses. If you'd like private music lessons, I'd be happy to teach those as well."[/color]

Presently a male student in the audience yelled "Why do we need [i]fashion courses[/i]?!"

Carmen tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at the boy as she said [color=orangered]"You're asking me [i]that[/i] with [u]that[/u] outfit?"[/color] With a smile, a polite wave and a flip of the hair, Carmen left the podium while the audience had not yet stopped chuckling.
