::Professor
Kayla:: |
Today
we will be discussing how the elements combined with lunar cycles can
affect one's use of magic and ritual. |
| ::Merrit:: |
(Talking
to Narfi) Yea, I heard that they're going to do a mindnight showing
of Fight Club at the Spectrum. |
| ::Professor
Kayla:: |
Mr.
Daniels, would you like to give this lecture? I assume that it is what you
are discussing with Mr. Skaftisson? |
| ::Merrit:: |
T_T
No M'am.... |
|
|
I
thought not. Now, please consider the effect that a lunar conjunction
with Mars will have on any rituals regarding growth or multiplication--
|
intercom buzz |
"Merrit Daniels and
Freesia Constantine please report to Dean Carter's office." |
| ::Freesia:: |
Oh
no! I'm sorry Professor Kayla...*flustered* ::What
did I do wrong? Why does the dean want to see me?::
*Looking
at Merrit* ::I'm glad someone else has to go too. What if it had been
just me?:: |
|
|
|
| ::Merrit:: |
Maaaaan.
*looks at Freesia* Coming? |
| ::Freesia:: |
Yes.
Let me... *looks at Professor Kayla* Should I take my books? |
| ::Professor
Carter:: |
Leave
them here. I'm sure you'll both be back before class ends. |
|
Merrit
& Freesia head to the office of the Dean of Arts & Sciences of
Quinlan College.
|
|
::Dean
Carter:: |
Ah,
you both made it. Good. I have something important to tell both of you.
No--don't sit Mr.Daniels. It won't take that long. |
::Merrit:: |
So,
Sir.....Um, what is it? *eyes pastries on the dean's desk* |
| ::Dean
Carter:: |
We
have arranged for the first time, a special student rotation for the fall
semester. It involves our students traveling overseas to teach and learn
with students of other nationalities. |
| ::Freesia:: |
T_T ... Why should I care about that? I have enough to do worrying about
keeping up in chemistry and potions. *twisting hands and staring down
at the newspaper on desk* |
|
::Merrit:: |
Sounds cool. What's that got to do with me? *smiles and nods head toward
Freesia* I mean with US? |
| ::Dean
Carter:: |
I am pleased to say that both of you were recommended by your student advisors
to take part in this program. *looking at Freesia* You, Miss Constantine,
because Dr. Vielle believes the exposure to a new culture may help you to
further develop your skills and work on some of the deeper issues that we
have had to keep an eye on in your past. |
| ::Freesia:: |
*Blushing*
I've been trying Sir. Dr.Vielle knows that. I-I don't want to leave Quinlan...I
feel comfortable here. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| ::Dean
Carter:: |
Comfortable
or not, this is what has been decided. And you too Mr.Daniels. Both of
you are going to Japan. I have your passports here.
*hands
passports to them*
You'll
both be assigned to the same place as to lessen the culture shock for
you. |
| ::Freesia:: |
B-But... |
| ::Dean
Carter:: |
In
two weeks time your plane leaves. I suggest you spend the time arranging
your classwork and deciding what you will need to take with you. |
|
|
|
| ::Freesia:: |
>_<
.... ..... |
| ::Merrit:: |
Wow,
this is so cool! *riffles with passport* Maaaan...noone's gonna believe
this.... |
| ::Dean
Carter:: |
Your
instructors are aware of this and will talk to you about your course work
schedules. I believe most of them will be able to teach you online. Speaking
of which, both of you will be given a laptop to use while you are on this
rotation. Please remember you both will be representing Quinlan University.
You can return to class now. |
::Freesia::
|
=_=
.... ::How am I supposed to do that with him? Merrit is such a slacker.
I bet everything that goes wrong will get blamed on me...::
*sigh* |
| |
....Out in
the Hallway... |
|
::Merrit:: |
Look,
cheer up. It won't be that bad. |
| ::Freesia:: |
....
I don't know...It's...I don't want to... |
| ::Merrit:: |
Why
not? Gods, Freesia, it's awesome! No real work or anything! And a foreign
country--new people and places to see! *Rubs hands together in glee* |
| ::Freesia:: |
Nevermind...we
need to go back to class now. |
| ::Merrit:: |
I'm
going to stop by the bookstore for a soda first. Wanna come with? |
| ::Freesia:: |
No.
Thank you *turns and walks away* ::Like I said, he's a complete slacker:: |
| ::Merrit:: |
What's
her problem? She's always so high strung...*shrug*...
Well, it's not my problem. I think a coke sounds good. Or maybe
a grape Crush... |
