Action | Mayfield High

[Well, April had gotten call telling her that she needed to get into work, or she would be fired. As an algebra teacher at the high school. Considering how April has never set foot into a high school before, or any sort of school in general, this was going to be interesting.

So, if you have an algebra class today, you'll see that your teacher is a small, red-headed woman who is probably dressed a bit too casually and looks a bit nervous about this.]

Um, hey guys! I'm April, and I'm apparently your new algebra teacher. And I've never been to a high school before, or any kinda of school really, so I don't really have much idea of what I'm meant to be doing. [And cue a sheepish laugh as she thinks for a few moments. At least she's honest.]

... Hmm... Ah, I know! For this lesson, maybe you guys could tell me about the worlds you're from, such as what it's like and what kind of things you do? It'll probably be more interesting than me trying to teach algebra, at least. [Plus, April is just nosy curious.

And for fellow teachers, they can find their new co-worker sitting at a table in the teacher's lounge. It looks as though she's reading something, though a closer look will reveal that she's just using the book to hide the fact she's taking a nap. Feel free to prod her awake/yell at her/ etc.]

[bloodypacifism]

[Oh she likes you already.] Well, it's rather complicated to explain in tandem of how the apparently 'traditional' world works...

[cullscuttlefish]

...where do I start?

[Says the girl with grey skin, fins, and candy-corn horns.]

[technologic]

[April tilts her head and hums in thought.] Hmm, start with the basics, then? Like, what's the place you're from called?

[technologic]

Let's see... Let's start with the name of your world?

Lounge

[all_ofthethings]

[Lust isn't there, but a familiar head of red hair catches his attention. He looks around the room and finds a good sized paper weight, then drops it on the table in front of her.]

Hey there sleepy head.

[technologic]

Ack-!! [April jolts awake with a yell, and then just blinks at the paper weight and then up at Greed.]

W-what the- Dammit, Greed, you scared the hell outta me...

[infourbooks]

Well... I'm a wizard. So anything's better than trying to figure out all these Muggle subjects.

[technologic]

[Cue a curious look.] 'Muggle subjects'?

[infourbooks]

All these things that... aren't anything to do with magic. My science teacher keeps comparing me to a gerbil.

[cullscuttlefish]

It's called Alternia. It's the place where all of us trolls were born. The thing is, we only stay there till we're about eight solar sweeps old. Then everyone has to go off-planet.

...or that's how it used to be. It's...complicated.

[all_ofthethings]

[He chuckles to himself.]

That book must'a smelled good, you drooled a bit.

[technologic]

I-I did not. [She blushes and pouts, even though she quickly wipes at her mouth to make sure.]

Anyway, what's brought you here? Last time I checked, you worked at the bar.

[technologic]

[She nods in understanding, though she looks curious.] I'm guessing something really big happened, then?

[technologic]

A... gerbil. [Well, that's different.] Your science teacher sounds a bit, um... eccentric.

[theboytwin]

[Oh it's Nina's friend. Clearly he should sit down at the table.]

Tough first day?

[bloodypacifism]

Well, the whole world is just Earth. But I'm from the Holy Empire of Britannia.

[technologic]

[His voice is enough to shock her awake, and she looks pretty sheepish when she looks over at him.]

Aha, yeah, kinda... I didn't really have any idea what I was doing.

[drank_the_milk]

It's okay, you don't really have to teach us anything if you don't want to. I'm pretty sure they don't check up on that.

[theboytwin]

Considering most of us weren't teachers before we started, that's not surprising.

What class do you teach here?

[infourbooks]

She's not very impressed with me.

[cullscuttlefish]

Yeah. Basically...some of us played a game. We didn't realize it had consequences that kind of ledtouskindofkillingeveryonebesidesaveryfewofus.

[Feferi doesn't look happy.]

[all_ofthethings]

My dear older sister works here. Dark wavy hair, curves that would attract anyone's eye. I like to give her a hard time every now and then, deflate her enormous ego before it swallows everyone up.

So, I guess you must be a teacher too?

[technologic]

[April actually breathes a sigh of relief at that.] Ah, that's good. I have no idea how to teach, so it probably would've gone badly if I tried to.

[technologic]

Um, I teach algebra. [Or try to anyway.] What about you?

[Sneaking riiiiiight up next to April's ear.]

Boo.
