[CLASS] Holiday Doors: The More You Know! (OVER pg.11!)

[phantompanther13]

Carlos was listening sort of to the questions and answers. He was almost listening. Really he didn't much care about it. Hearts and not, they would live. Maybe he could make a good riddle out of that...

What did catch his interest was the Jabberwock.

The Jabberwock. Carlos tried to resist, ok he really didn't. He crawled up on his desk the bunny still pinned under his paw and whispered into the Jabberwock's ear.

"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!""

He giggled a high pitched sound much like a young scareling as his tail swished. Jabberwocks. He loved them. Loved loved loved them. He had to quote their riddle to them. Even though it wasn't really a riddle and was more... nonsense. But the cat liked nonsense too.

Nothing Yet

That's what you get for being a Jabberwock Mimsy.

 

[Nothing Yet]

As much as she liked this instructor, Mimsy was still incredibly disappointed by her reply. It wasn't something that she could fault her for, but it made it no less discouraging, and she settled back into her desk in a 'nonchalant' way that hopefully hid her miserable reaction.

"Right. Of course,' she muttered, shoulders drooping. "Humans do that. Only humans. Thank you."

She awkwardly scribbled nonsense into her notes, and tried another avenue.

"Are there any other texts that you might recommend, in a vein similar to those written by Mr. Stein?" she quietly asked, tilting her head. This made her ear especially accessible to be whispered into, just as a student behind her proceeded to do.

Having someone whisper at her in the middle of class was nothing new, though she suspected something insulting or derogatory, or perhaps a request to copy her notes. Instead, Halloween proved its superiority again.

Svensyl squealed in her mind, and she followed suit as she squealed into her hands, both tightly clasped over her mouth. Her notes had been abandoned again, but it was worth it this time. The two of them sounded very much like a pair of giddy teenage girls, which was not all that far from the truth at the moment; they were a pair of giddy 'teenage' jabberwockies, and that was close enough sometimes.

She twisted to sit sideways in the desk, and quickly discovered that it was more difficult when she had to remember to accommodate a pair of wings. Still, she managed to curl one arm around the boil to pull him into an excited embrace.

"Callooh, callay!" Her cheer was a bit more suppressed than she would have liked it to be, but this was still a classroom. "Salutations, Cat! All Mimsy indeed!"

While she hugged him and rubbed her cheek against his head, she began to giggle along with him. Containing her volume was one thing, but containing the happiness that she felt upon seeing a creature from Wonderland was an impossible feat, and was not really something that she intended to do anyway.

He wasn't expecting the giggle from a boil, nor the sudden hug. Wasn't expecting but he was quiet content to be grabbed and hauled into a lap. Yep perfect spot. His chocolate bunny squirmed more than the boil did as he was set into another bought of giggles.

He liked him, he liked him. Life was perfect. Carlos let out a soft purr and leaned up whispering/singing into his ear.

What is black and blue with stripes all over?
Carlos the Cheshire cat.
What has the sky in it's hair and the moon in it's eyes?
Carlos the Cheshire cat.
What is invisible by day and glows by night?
Carlos the Cheshire cat.
What has a grin that is made of cheese? (Carlos gave the Jabberwock a big grin here making sure he saw the Cheshire cat's signature smile.)
Carlos the Cheshire cat. Mew

Carlos was being quiet but he wasn't in the mood to pay anymore attention to class, instead he wanted to sing little riddles and play with his new friend. Well really just sit there and be petted forever. He didn't move from his new position, instead he just curled up with the chocolate bunny missing an ear and settled into this new spot. His tail swayed and he curled up rather content. These wings would make a great hiding place and he had a friend who liked him. Class would be done from here.

Nothing Yet

Class is now conducted from here.

Rikku Takanashi

sorry, you lost Carlos to the Jabberwocky.

 

[Nothing Yet]

The contentment that came from Carlos was easily mirrored by the jabberwock, with no need to pretend at all. She was overjoyed to have found a Cheshire here, even by coincidence.

"Quite a display of quixotry, my catlike companion!" Mimsy cheered, praising him with another hug rather than disruptive applause. "My name is Sczes, said similar to the sort of sound when someone says 'says', spelled s-consonant-consonant-vowel-s. Please, however, I insist..."

She lowered her voice to whisper in his ear this time.

"My name is Mimsy. My secret, shared with you."

"Oh, texts! So many! I ah, give me a few moments after class to jot out a quick reading list for you, I would be happy to help you further your research!" What a delightful student, so thirsty for knowledge! Selene beamed proudly, and then the pride was over as her and another student began to chatter and whisper to each other in the middle of class.

Well, that was fast.

"Yes. Yes well! I think that's about it for questions today, hmm? Now let's get to the treats and have ourselves a little taste of the worlds beyond! Everyone please come up and pick one candy from the basket, ah, just one please! I regret I do not have one of each kind for everyone, there is just so many of you here today!" She clapped her hands in delight.

".. Well? Off you go, up up! Pick a candy and bring it back to your seats, so we can share a snack and a special learning experience together!"

The OOC - PICKING A WORLD

Please choose one of the candies seen on page four, and bring it back to your chair. Your character may eat the candy! It will be just as delicious as any other candy you've had, though keep the flavor of the candy under consideration. You will have until later tonight to do this before the next update.

-This is the last chance for anyone new to enter the class. If you do, please choose a candy and sit down to enjoy your snack.
-Please only take one kind of world candy. (You can swipe more than one of the same kind, if your student is greedy, but do not take multiple worlds candy.)
-You will be able to choose your candy even after the update tonight, but only five or so students may choose from a world before the candy runs out, so choosing quicker guarantees you have chosen the world you want!
-If you cannot decide and want to leave it up to fate, roll 1d6! The candy order is Vday, St. Pattys, Easter, Independence, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
-When you choose, make sure your student's name is in the post so I know who took what!
-Choose very, VERY carefully - if you haven't guessed by now, this is not simply snacktime.

Quote:

Vday is closed! Independance Day is closed! Christmastown has 2 free slots, and the other worlds have a slot open if you PM me asking for it!

Valentine's Day - Candy Heart
Uru'baen

Uru came to the front of the class, looking down at the desk with the five choices; the heart, the charms, the egg, the rocks, the turkey, and the candycane. His eye twitched at the choices, opting for the heart. He picked it purely on the fact that it was the closest and that it meant he did not have to reach into the crowd of students to grab anything else. Swiping it away and clutching it into his palm, he stalked back to his desk and sat, waiting for the instructions to eat the confection.

With a shrug, he popped it into his mouth, his canine catching it as it broke it apart, the chalky texture was an afterthought to the rather delightful sweetness that came over his palette. It wasn't bad, he'd admit.

Independence
Carlos the Cheshire Cat

Carlos had no idea what quixotry meant but he liked the sound of it and purred trying to think of a riddle. Well, Sczes or rather Mimsy introduced himself. He continued to smile up at him and made a small shhhing sound an illusory hand appearing by his mouth and let out a high pitched giggle.

He would keep this secret. A Secret was as good as a riddle. But he would try and think of one just for him anyway but he was having some trouble, like somehow no riddle he could think of would fit Mimsy. And how appropriate that a Jobberwocky's name be Mimsy. He really liked the name.

Oh it was time to get up. He did not want to get up or move or anything. So he simply looked up and whisper two words. "Carry me."

Which candy to get? He wanted them all. His bunny squirmed some more trying to free itself from his regular paws as he squeezed it in thought as he was carried.

"This or that? Here or there?" he mumbled and then his illusion paw swooped out and took a whole bunch of pop rocks.


"Teacher! Teacher will there be any tea? I so want a spot of Tea."

Nio Love

Selene, don't you love your students.

Nothing Yet

Onward to candy!

 

[Nio Love]

Selene was suddenly embarrassingly horrified that she had not thought to bring tea.

Independence Day
Petro

The monster horse had missed the lecture and looked rather sheepish for his tardiness. He still didn't like being late for lessons. But he did arrive in time to hear the teacher tell them to pick a candy from the pile and chose, mostly with the intention of only having a tiny amount and saving the rest for his ghoul, a packet. He refrained from opening it at all and instead put it away somewhere in his ba(ha)g of holding.

Thanksgiving
Mmur

Sitting up quickly once he realized he wasn't about to be reprimanded for the apocalypse, Mmur took a particular interest in the candy from the land of Thanksgiving. He'd briefly visited there once already, and although he hadn't met any pilgrims or turkeys, he'd had boatloads of fun... dodging cows. He realized now that perhaps he had actually only made it to the outskirts of the land after all.

He trotted up to the front of the room and grabbed the appropriate candy, dropping it into his mouth before someone could take it from him. It tasted of sweaty laborers hard work, a sumptuous feast, and satisfaction.

"That was weird," he said to no one.  

[Meegane]

Independence
AJ the you know who

AJ was late, super late because he forgot the time and did some baking. Entering g the class with his apron on, he quickly wanted to sit down by got dragged to the teacher desk by the Head. It swallowed the whole basket, but AJ shortly pulled it out. "I am so sorry, Miss Selene. Here you are."

The basket was wet with mysterious liquor, luckily they were individually packed.

Mimsy/Sczes : Pop Rocks
Independence

'Yes', Mimsy mouthed, pressing one clawed finger against her mouth with a silent 'shh' as she continued this game. It was a dangerous one now, admittedly, but the thought of lying to a creature of both Wonderland and Halloween felt unbearably wrong - especially regarding her name.

She attempted to give their instructor a gracious smile at the offer she extended, which managed to be more awkward to achieve than smiles typically were, and it just came out lopsided and toothy.

While she was busy pretending that she actually knew how smiling worked, Carlos looked up at her and requested to be carried. The smile softened as she looked back down at him.

"But of course!" she chirped, scooping him up into her arms. "I would ask which way we ought to go, but we both know the answer to that, correct, Cat?"

This was hilarious to her, and she laughed the entire way to the candy, arms carefully encircling the ghost. She took care to watch what he chose, plucked up her own pop rocks between two claws, and returned to cradling the cat.

Cearney O'Cahan - St. Patrick's

The fact that she seemed so utterly beside herself to have a true leprechaun in the room was a bit of an ego bolster to Cearney.

Not that he needed it.

Having her acknowledge he was different repeatedly was certainly enough for him and what he wanted to accomplish--an impression on her and the rest of the students that there was another type of leprechaun, anyway--and Cearney settled considerably in comparison to before. It was interesting to hear that other similarities existed between species of different worlds, but truly it did not sound the same as his.

A wererabbit was definitely different than a bunny rabbit.

"Glad to be here," offered Cearney, a charming smile on his face as she thanked him again for being there--good--before she moved on to something else and eventually candies.

The choice to him was obvious, really.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

He took the Saint Patrick's World candies.

====================

Ignatius Svarog - Independence Day

The answer she gave him got his wheels spinning. Never mind her education praise, the adventure that could be! Going to different worlds that other creeple would probably never see on their lives, experiencing it firsthand and getting to share that experience with the world with crazy stories and bizarre truths about the other emotions...

That sounded appealing (for now). He should totally look into that later.

Of course, that thought was cut off with the distraction of the professor declaring it was time to pick a candy. A candy? He could only pick one? Well, he did have the chocolate bunny that was half-eaten still anyway...

Ignatius didn't bother thinking about the specific candy he'd take any further... Not that he really ever did before he just did something.

He swiped a pop rock and popped it into his mouth. Tasted explosive. Poppy. Awesome. He wanted another. Could he take another?

====================

Serafina Arai - Thanksgiving

Serafina continued to diligently listen, adding to her notes as the answers to various questions came in.

Why was Professor Selene so avoidant on the topic of turkeys? That sounded like a point of gossip just begging to be unearthed, and Serafina thought that she was just the ghoul to do it. She left a few stars around the note of Find out about Selen and the Turkeys to draw her attention to it at a later time.

For now, it was time to pick a candy from a place because unfortunately she could not just let her curious self try something from everywhere. She would certainly like to. Perhaps someone had a stash of these somewhere...

For now, she would go with the one that seemed to have the most juicy gossip.

These Thanksgiving candies were a little odd, though.
