[CLASS] Teamwork and You (OVER pg. 14!)

[yylaayl]

Clara walked into the classroom, slightly thrown off by the lack of sign up sheet, but from where she stood at the door's entrance, it seemed like just a normal classroom. The desks were tidy and in neat rows and the floor was surprisingly devoid of any dirt or slime. Clara sat on one of the desks, off to the side, watching the other students chatter and interact.

In one of her 'get out and do more things' moments Aldara had picked through all of her various class options and had decided to go for the one that did not have the sign up sheet. If no one knew she was supposed to be there then it wouldn't be so big of a deal if she disappeared, right?

Either way, it would be beneficial to get out a socialize a little bit more... ANd besides, who didn't enjoy an adventure?

Muka was in the middle of admiring Enzo's new silvery tooth when Myr arrived. The strix could only giggle at his reaper friend, "Looking decidedly.. hrrmm.. FLASHY." He winked at Enzo... only for his other eye to blink moments later.

"Helloooo.." The strix greeted Myr owlishly, with the same grin as always beneath his bushy beard.His head quirked to the side and turned on his body to look puzzled at Lottie.

"Harem?" Muka then simply burst into giggles.

Kettil meandered in like he owned the joint - as usual. Endzela lazily drifted in a bit after him and after Kettil found a spot to sit she landed on a nearby spot for a perch.

The boil raised a hand toward Muka, "Hey brother~," he called out cheerfully.

Lottie got a wave as well because he recalled meeting with her before.

He seemed pretty damn chill today.

For now.

Endzela's eyes squinted shut a little as she just decided to nap a while, she thought she recognized one of the students, but she couldn't be sure...

A giant mechanical device was being rolled noisily down the hall towards the classroom. As it reached the doorway, it let out a pitiful whine while it was forcefully shoved through it. The sides screeched and the door frame shook, refusing entry. After a few more attempts, it was clearly stuck there, rendered immobile by its sheer size. Behind it, a tiny little voice was groaning, as someone continued to try and push it forward. Whoever it was, remained hidden completely behind the monstrous electrical device. She huffed, and puffed, and struggled mightily, but all it sounded like was a few pitiful little whines.

Eventually she stopped, and the soft clack of footsteps echoed in the hallway, walking away. Was she leaving them? What kind of teacher would trap their students like this-

"Stay clear!" Her warning came closer, but it was so small and quiet, that the soft buzz of conversation in the room completely drowned it out. A moment later, the mechanical device was hurtled down the aisle, after the door frame splintered and gave way. In its remains, Selene's giant snake tail could be seen swishing dangerously to and fro, after having used it to dislodge her device. She quickly coiled it back up behind her, and shuffled in with hunched shoulders and crimson cheeks.

"Sorry, oh, so sorry, I hope you're all safe! Is anyone injured? No? Good, good! So glad to hear it. Ah, look at all of these fresh young faces, both old and new! I'm filled with such joy to see you all here!"

She rolled the device down the aisle, greeting new students and stopping to praise familiar faces for returning. She was all smiles and blushes, a tiny and ridiculous thing considering the size of what she was moving to the front.

The strange device was rolled until it reached her desk, and she stopped there. "Ah, yes, good, lovely to see you all," She mumbled under her breath as she started to fiddle with tiny buttons and dials. "Now let me see here, just attach this to.. and now we should be.." Her hand reached for a remote, and she clicked the on button. The giant screen in the middle of the device came roaring to life with loud, violent static.

"Oh, there we go! Ah, heeellloooo! Are you there? Hellooo? Oh no, oh dear, oh my.." She started to push buttons violently on the remote. "I suppose.. we're not ready for that just yet.." Finally, she hit the mute button, and the static remained on the screen in relieving silence. Selene whirled around, smiling nervously at the students. "Yes hello, welcome welcome!" Her normal speaking voice was barely a whisper, and yet this, her teacher-speaking voice, was just a twitch higher than that. "Thank you for coming today! It's just, oh, such a pleasure to see you all!" She clapped her hands giddily. "And I have a special treat prepared for you. Today's topic is Teamwork - a skill that, in this humble professors opinion, is vital to your every day lives. Practicing your teamwork will assist you in all aspects of your future! So, ah, let's get started, shall we?"

She turned just enough to open two cabinet drawers within the metal giant behind her. Inside of the cabinets were dozens of simple wireless controllers, with a small antenna attached to the top. "Would everyone please come up and take a controller, and then sit back down in your seats! We will begin soon enough, I just need to, oh, connect this, yes, or perhaps.. oh dear, this wire is fried.."

Despite the exciting look of the poster, it looked like they were going nowhere - fast.

Quote:

Class has officially begun! Pick up one of the controllers - they are exactly as shown, except they are wireless and have an antenna on top. The buttons you see are four directional buttons, Select, Start, A, and B. You can press them all you like now, they won't do a thing.

If you come in late, at any point in the class, just pick up a controller and join in the fun. There will be random minor updates, NPC interaction, and one major update each day, but that will not normally come this late in the day - and if you miss an update or two, your experience will not be affected. Just join in when you've got the time - but make sure you play hard when you do! There will be no quoting during updates, so please come back and check once a day if you can, and get ready for something really chaotic.

Ah! So many potential slaves friends~. Lottie grinned at them all happily. However, her attention on the boils soon began to shift. The escapade with the machine and the teacher was fascinating, and she stared at the small woman with a blank expression for a long while.

Lottie finally smiled again, hopping up from her seat to grab herself a controller. "Video games!!!!"  

[Melodine Cantus]

Erebus was trying to attend more classes now, as a new year's resolution. And by that, he meant, new class year's resolution, since he was now technically a year 2 student, and it wasn't as if he had never attended classes, it was just that he had sometimes... been so engrossed in a book that he simply forgot the time.

The Cerberus boil slipped in the back of the class as Professor Selene left the room for a moment, settling into his seat as he watched her thoughtfully. There hadn't been much explanation for the class beforehand, only that poster which said something about adventure. Erebus wasn't quite sure what that meant.

And teamwork too? The boil shrank down in his seat slightly. The last time he had been in a class with Professor Selene regarding teams, he had landed himself in the same group as Tomoko and a lot of embarrassment.

He didn't see the kitsune ghoul around, nor his brother... but was that his brother's boilfriend? Erebus squinted in Ash's direction. Huh. He looked rather different from usual too...

Dutifully, he shuffled up to the front to take a controller, and then proceeded to walk back to his seat.

Canon watched the entrance of the large contraption with great interest from her vantage point on the ground. Getting up from her tumble hadn't been a priority, even with her feet and tail draped over a desk with her upper body on the floor. This new... thing, though!

"Fascinating!" she exclaimed, rolling to her feet. Picking up a controller, she went back to the seat she'd been draped over, this time sitting in it properly. She probed the controller with her antennae, wondering what it was for.

A ghoul in the back was exclaiming excitedly about 'video games'. Since it sounded like she knew something about these things, Canon hopped onto the top of the desk and bounced over to the ghoul.

"What's a video game?" she asked, kneeling on top of the ghoul's desk with a big grin.

[Bittiface]

Lottie grinned up at the ghoul on her desk, "WELL," She started in a know it all voice booming loudly, "It's like playing a story book with a remote, and you get to control everything that happens!"

That was what this was, right? Game controllers, teamwork? It was totally a platformer of some kind, for sure! OH! Or maybe a battle royale!!!

"Don't worry! I'll totally show you how it's done! See, this button is always used for actions. Like punching or shooting creeple. And this one is usually to pause the game or access the menu for more gear!" She rambled on and on...

"Kettil!" Muka grinned and then "ENDE!!" He hooted louder, issuing some bird noises at the owl familiar. Was he more excited to see her than Kettil?? No >.> of course not <.<


And then the professor pushed in something large and, in his opinion, very complicated looking. In fact Muka looked a bit worried. He was no good with video games or things with little plastic buttons. His hands and talons were large and did a bit of damage to delicate electronic devices.

With his own controller in hand the strix shuffled behind Lottie and Canon, peering curiously over their shoulders to listen to the explanation.

"You know a lot about hrrrmmm these things?" It was both a statement and a question.

Are you looking for Adventure?

Helmut stared at those words for perhaps too long. Yes. Yes she did want adventure. She liked adventures. They were fun, and you got dirty, and maybe if she was lucky there would be mud! Oh gosh, now she was hoping for mud.

...And she knew just who to bring with her.

The epiphany had her fleeing to the demon dorms as quickly as she could, knocking and scratching on Li Shou's door until he got annoyed enough to open it. The little ghoul was persistent and, when the cat sidhe tried to get out of it, she grabbed him by the hand and physically dragged him out of his room, whining the whole time about how he should stop being a stupid stick in the dumb mud. She may have been much smaller than he was, but she was stubborn, and loud, and no amount of resistance was going to stop her in dragging him to the class. Because adventure, and mud and fun - and maybe something about balls and fossils, but she wasn't sure. Adventure.

She got there just in time to hear the tail end of Selene's speech; something about Teamwork, and getting started, and...little boxes with buttons on them? The ghoul still held onto Li Shou's hand, if only because she was afraid he would run, but her free hand grabbed a controller, looking at it with a great deal of disappointment.

"...I thought there was gonna be an adventure..." Helmut whined unhappily, her ears lowering so far they disappeared into her mass of fluffy hair. She finally let go of him, utterly dejected, and poked at the useless buttons with about as much interest as a child facing broccoli.

Of course Olivia liked the sound of adventure. And teamwork. And it didn't hurt one bit that it seemed this class would be run by Miss Selene, whose classes she seemed to attend more than most. (A field trip tended to happen after all). But, today didn't seem to be the case the wight realized when she showed up - sadly, a little later than she would have liked. Something different seemed to be happening this time around. There were controllers with little buttons in cabinets.

While she wasn't unfamiliar with video games and all, she rarely got to play them at home. Even after joining a club revolving around them. So, well, this just seemed very exciting and the ghoul was more than happy to take one of the controllers for herself and head towards a seat. On the way, passing along a small little wave to Andrew.

It was obvious the cat boil was NOT PLEASED as a small clawed hand pulled him along like an over-glorified stuffed animal. "For the last time, pig monster, I. DON'T. WANT. T-"

Li Shou froze up as he stumbled through the door, multicolored eyes as wide as a full moon. Up until this point, he had only experienced one on one time with other students. Now, it seemed, the small cat was being thrown to the wolves.

Could they smell his weakness? His fear? Did they see how out of his element he really was?

There was only one thing to do...

And that was inhale, puff up his chest, and walk in like he was a force to be reckoned with.

In all reality, he just looked ridiculous.

While Helmut seemed completely dejected by the sight of the controller, Li Shou was absolutely elated. So much that his fears had completely vanished. "A video game!" The demon gasped happily, grabbing a controller and examining it with eyes sparkling like little gems. "Mama wouldn't let me have one of these, but I've heard so much about them!" His ears twitched as he listened to the little clicking sound the buttons made when you pushed them. "Oh mystical game machine, reveal to me your magic secrets."

She was getting very good at not listening to Li Shou.

Helmut was too busy being unhappy about this turn of events to notice that he had puffed up to try and look bigger, or the subsequent way he deflated as he recognized what the controllers were for.

"Video whats?" The ghoul repeated, finally looking up from the controller in her hand to stare curiously at her captive friend. He seemed to like the contraption and the way the buttons clicked, so maybe, just maybe, she could give it another shot? Still, she didn't seem too thrilled by it.

"...It's magic? What kinda magic?" Suddenly, the controller was held out at arms length, as if the magic would backfire and hurt her.  

[Sexy Cocaine]

"You don't know what a video game is? Hah, you really are a peasant." Funny, because he only knew what they were by proxy.

"It's like... You control a scenario with this little remote. Sometimes it's a character, sometimes it's like pieces on a chess board, and you can do a bunch of different things while just sitting here!" For a boil who didn't seem inclined towards physical activities, it was perfect.

His eyes finally tore away from the device in his hands to look at Helmut. What was she...? No, more importantly... "How are you not excited by this?"
