Magical Teacher Professor Landry! - Discussion 3: Skipping through Time.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Ill have time to post maybe Thursday and definitely friday.

[Teal Mage]

It turns out Arhra has some assignments to work on, so I'm going to hold my post back until Wednesday, so he can get something up.

I've got most of the scenes written, with the exception of his and Krylo's, mostly because I'm slightly uncomfortable GMing Jo in her present circumstance. Normally, I'd have her just put-the-breaks on her charge, now that the Sorceress's firewall's in the way and most people aren't suicidal enough to charge into a apparently-deadly energy-field. In ordinary circumstances, at least.

That said, this battle's not normal.

A lot of what'll happen if Jo tries her luck with the barrier depends on how she does it, and on how Arhra words it. With that in mind, I'm very hesitant to simply skip his turn this time around. However, in the interests of keeping things moving, I'm still putting a deadline on this (seventy-two hours from now, more-or-less). I'd, of course, prefer that Arhra (not to mention Sinr and Krylo) get their posts up before then.

Anyway, just letting you all know.

Oh, and in the event no one else posts in the discussion before Wednesday, I'll be editing an updated map into this post.

[Krylo]

I am also waiting on Arhra. Just so ya'll don't think I'm as big a slacker as those other two big slackers.

[Steel Shadow]

Ok, so I was on the bus the other day, rather bored, and I had my notepad and a pen. The result?

Omakes!

1: Yes, it is that bad.Yes, it is that bad

Hie was bored. She had always been an energetic girl, even before joining with the coyote spirit, which had only made her worse. She'd followed her cousin to Amaranth because he was the most fun of all her realtives, but right now he was busy training for something or other, and had warned her to go away with his super serious 'don't push me' voice. Not that she was afraid of him, but he could be so moody when she interupted his personal time...

So she was bored. But she had a plan! She'd met people while she was here, fun people! And she knew one of them lived near here. That girl with the camera and the fancy kicks! Hie already had her scent. So what if it was early morning? That just meant she had the element of surprise!

It was these thoughts that quickly led to Hie sneaking in through a Dorm window and jumping on Diana's bed with a four legged pounce and a yell of "Helloooo!" An epic struggle began!

The light flicked on.

"What are you doing to my room-mate's bed?" A rather unimpressed sounding voice asked.

Hie looked up, pausing in her gnawing of the bed sheets, and realising for the first time that the bed was empty. Standing a few paces away next to the lightswitch was a blond girl in her pjamas. As her voice was indicated, she looked less than pleased. She didn't seem exactly shocked though, either.

The wolf girl spat out a mouthful of pillow. "Um. Where's the Redhead?"

"Di?" Sarah (for it was she!) rolled her eyes and checked the clock on the nightstand. "Around about now? Wait for it."

Hie blinked at the mysterious response, then noticed a new sound filling the room. Falling water? Wait, why was the other girl fiddling with her ears?

The answer became all to readily apparent.

"IIIIiii'm wAlKiiin oN SuuuUUUnshiiiinEEE! WaaaaaAAAAOOOHHHooooOAOHOHO! I'M WAAALLLLLKing On SuuuuunnnShIIIINNNe! Waaaahhhhwahahohahoahhehha!!!!"

The catastophic noise hit Hie like a blastwave. What the hell was that?! What terrible crime against nature was being commited to produce that sound? There was nothing natural in the world that could produce something so monsterous!

Sarah, used to this and wearing ear plugs, sighed. "She does this every morning." Why had she been cursed with a room-mate that had to sing in the shower? Why?

Hie was in no state to hear her though. Her ears were far more sensitive than a normal humans, and the bandana she wore offerend no protection at all. Desperatly, she looked for escape.

Sarah watched impassively as the intruder gave a strangled cry and leapt out of the (fortunatly open) window. "Wish I'd thought of that," she muttered, closing the window and heading to the kitchen for breakfast.


2: The Amaranth Question

Sao and Adeline may not have been the best of friends (a fact not helped by the general opinion of the class that the two were bitter rivals in everything) but there were still some events that would make them work together. Such an occasion came along one sunny morning as the two enetered Amaranth to attend Proffesor Landry's class, and noticed something odd around campus.

It was Adeline who found Sao first. "Sao! What is the meaning of this?!?" she cried, storming up to the udine and waving a blue pamphlet under her nose. It read "Sao for class Prz!!" with various pictures of Sao looking proffesional, studying in class, and tinkering with a fountain. "Big on cleaning out corruption in the system!" a subtitle read.

The girl in question raised an eyebrow. "I was going to ask you the same thing," she said, raising a second pamphlet, this one green, and waving it under her Rival(?)s nose. "Adeline Fletcher for class president!" This one was also covered in photos, though these were of Adeline striking bold poses and hanging around some trees. 'Tending to the sappling of tomorrow' read the caption.

"Wh-What?" Adeline spluttered, grabbing the pamphlet and staring at it. "I didn't make this!"

"And I didn't make the other one, either," Sao noted, glaring at the piece of paper.

"Ugh. These things are all over the school! If it wasn't you or me, then who would do something... like..." Adeline trailed off as she and sao shared a thought. Of course, there was always that person...

As one, the pair looked up... straight into a camera lense. There, dangling by her legs in the tree above them, was the Prime Suspect.

"Aw, guys, don't look directly into the camera! That's filming 101! Everyone knows that! Just act natural!"

The girls eyes narrowed. "Diana, did you make these?"

"No. I got Billy to make them for me," the camera girl answered without a hint of shame. She was aparently unbothered by being upside down.

"WHY?!?" both potential presidents asked, glaring all the while.

"The viewers on my blog said the class elections weren't exciting enough! We needed to ramp it up in order to make it all more watchable! Leaflets to drum up interest and draw up party lines, political ads for both groups to slam each other, the live debates tomorow to show off your skills..."

"Wait, live debates?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Well yeah, gotta strike while the iron is hot guys!" Diana explained, waving her free arm about. "Didn't you get the memo?" She paused as they slowly shook their heads. "Oh. Um. Did I remember to tell you guys about any of this?" More head shaking. "...I forgot to ask permision again, didn't I? Nerts, I knew I was forgetting something."

Adeline rolled her eyes and whistled loudly. The tree branches suddenly started to rustle as dozens of squirells poped their heads up. She pointed at Di. "Get her down."

Ignoring Diana's paniced 'Eep!'s as the critters attacked, Sao looked at Adeline. "You have a squirell army?"

Adeline shrugged. "The author's just guessing until Teal Mage gets around to properly revealing my abilities, so I might as well use them while I have 'em."

[Arhra]

I aten't dead.

Yet.

[SinrXIII]

Howdy. Resident ironic inugami here.

Teal asked me to pass along that he'll post soonish. He's been over-editing his work, and won't listen when some of us say "It's probably fine, just post the damn thing!"

So just wait a bit longer, alright?

Arigato.

[Krylo]

No.

[Astral Harmony]

What do we want?!

Teal to post!

When do we want it?!

Now!

What're we gonna do about it?!

...Push a cow onto its side?

[Girasol of Chaos]

The resident artist who is currently more caffine and ramen than blood would like to politely ask that the over-editor cut that out and post tonight while she still has sanity.

[Steel Shadow]

I'm afraid Teal will not be posting tonight. Or ever again. You see, I was discussing this very issue with him not 5 minuets ago, and this thread came up. His words?

"I was going to post, but now I'm more curious to see how this ends."

He then suffered multiple internet stab wounds and died. So... sorry about that. May have over reacted.
