"Thanks, Landon," Tessa said, taking the vial of purple liquid. She normally tried not to give the lecher the time of day, but in this situation, he was one of people she was most acquainted with, and as much as she hated to admit it, the familiarity was calming. "If anyone feels even the slightest bit threatened, just hop back in the circle," Tessa said, offering protection. "But remember to do your jobs." She didn't normally keep the protective circle of spells up while traveling, but this was no time to be taking chances. She only hoped her mana and stock of potions would last the entirety of the dungeon.

I'm down for this. I would like my character to attempt to found the in-universe equivalent of the Avengers/Justice League, complete with government funding and a state-of-the-art research laboratory.

Is there an in-universe equivalent to Marvel mutants, AKA they were born with their powers and people seem to hate them for it? Or does every power need to have some other source besides 'born with it'?

I mean, he totally could have if you want? I'm all for adding history between characters.

@Awesomoman64

Sure, I think that would be fun.

Just read Ethan's CS. Did he get recruited by Catherine?

Floating down to her classroom, Catherine unlocked the window and helped herself in, closing it behind her. Unslinging the pouch that hung from her shoulder, she took out what little class materials she carried. Homeroom was mostly self-driven. In the first few months, Catherine had lectured very briefly on philosophical concepts, starting with the basics of logic: if A is true and B is true, then the statement, 'A and B' is also true, things of that nature. From there, she explained how all logical arguments began with premises, assumptions, and that while an argument can be sound, if the premises are untrue, then the argument is sound but invalid. In other words, she wanted to break down the idea that there were 'right answers' and 'wrong answers'. From there, she loosely covered some basic schools of thought within philosophy, nothing too in-depth. At this point in time, she had assigned the first years to pick a school of thought that interests them the most, and in essence, to do their own research on it, which may or may not culminate in a final project at the end of the year. But for the most part, homeroom was about freedom, light conversation, and dreading the coming gym class.

Speaking of gym class. Though relations had evened back out to cordial professionalism between herself and Jordan, Catherine couldn't help but notice the injuries, the winces of pain he thought he had hidden from her, and the way he behaved around the headmaster. Though she didn't pry, she couldn't get it off her mind. Putting the thought aside, Catherine unlocked the door and sat back down at her desk, waiting for the students to start trickling in.

As Leanne carried Eirwen off, ShiZhen looked at her watch and realized the time. "We should be heading to class soon too!" She said to Bhu and Zeke. ShiZhen held out a hand to Zeke in case he needed to be lead. Though ShiZhen knew he wasn't blind, he did occasionally need help staying on track and not getting distracted or lost.

School life was exciting for ShiZhen. She had picked a focus on practical science, though she couldn't decide between environmental sciences or chemistry. She would pick environmental sciences if she wanted to learn more about meteorology and how to control the weather, which was tempting since she did have a small mood cloud following her around everywhere now, but chemistry was also extremely exciting since the universal solvent that was water had such a large influence on reactions. For the time being, her focus was theoretical science.

As for homeroom, she had picked the obvious choice of 'utilitarianism' as her focus subject.

"What did you two pick for your 'philosophy school of thought' research project?" ShiZhen asked, curious.

It's weird how I'm not getting notifications when I'm tagged in this IC, hmm...

Vera can't really move right now, and I'll take a little more time to sort things out with Rubio. I plan to have her be like a new new teacher, and if I don't get her in for this 'day', I'll get her in later on.

@Raptra

It might be because a post stops sending notifications after the tenth one, so if there are ten or more @mentions or @quotes before you, you won't get one. An unfortunate limitation of this site.

EDIT: Also, I'm just going to shoehorn Catherine in as the Homeroom teacher to get this ball rolling. It'll just be a 30min class since it starts at 8:30 and gym starts at 9, so it's pretty lowkey.

Things have really chilled around here. Its nice. Though im wondering where my teachers are for posts

@Zelosse

Should students be preparing to go to their morning classes, or is it after lunchtime? Wasn't Kano going to do a practical test?

Closed

@Zelosse Who's the homeroom teacher?

@Regitnui

@Zelosse I was actually assuming Catherine was the homeroom teacher for the first years.

@Zelosse Wait, ShiZhen and Lyra were roommates already. @Pseudo Stygian
