Who: Nabooru, you, you, you, some more you's, oh - maybe you, too
When: Oct. 14 - Evening ~ Late Night
What: It's a shindig. No, seriously. Nabs wanted everyone to get together for drinks. (And she's inconspicuously trying to force Byrne into being more sociable.) And by everyone, we do mean everyone of age.
Where: This... here tavern in FDC. No, not the super nice one. Let's just say it's a tavern and leave it at that.
Warnings: Nabooru's nose is a warning.

( Once again Mako spams with her tl;dr. ._. )

Who: Jon and Krystal
What: Krystal shows Jon around
Where: Around.
When: Backdated slightly to the 20th


( Walking with Werewolves. )

Who: sumabura_gakuen
What: Dorm hijinks and etc. Whatever you want.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond. Do what you need! ✩
When: April 30 - May 15
Warnings: I wrote 'hijinks'. That should explain everything.

Ripped off the last one: Basically, here's what this is: we all know our characters experience downtime after classes and their busy schedules, and this is a good portal for those kinds of miscellaneous dorm-shenanigans to take place. Not only does it give your characters the easy chance to meet new people in a laid-back environment but it's a good mechanism for strengthening CR and the like.

Feel free to begin in any way you please! Plan with (a) fellow player(s) if you'd like! Or, set up a thread and wait for characters to bite! Anything and everything is possible. Harrass your least favorite teacher by throwing oranges at their window! Play your favorite survival horror game at night while subjecting your squeamish friends to your dark tastes! Get into a squabble with your next door neighbors about unappreciated late-hour rackets! Confess your love to the girl of your dreams after class is over! It can all be yours if you make a thread. So have at it! Show this log no mercy.

Who: Krystal and Fox
What: Krystal attempts to explain shit. Aww yeah.
Where: Common room
When: Feb 25th mid-day.
Warnings: SEX DRUGS AND ROCK N ROLL I mean no probably nothing at all.

How exciting! Krystal was actually quite thrilled to see Fox again, even if he was before they had actually met. It was a small fluke, and Krystal was willing to get over it. Haha... Yeah. Getting a proper attire on that was not her normal Cerinia outfit, she headed down to the Commons room to meet him. ... Just imagine the absolute scandal of she did decide to wear that outfit around more than she needed to ... hah.

It did not take her that long to actually get down to the area, since she was now more familiar with her surroundings in general. Glancing around, she noted that he was not here yet, and took a seat on that infamous couch that had been the center of talk for a while, waiting for his arrival. She had much to tell him, that is for sure...

Characters: Fox, Krystal
What: Krystal and Fox go on a casual soda date at Starbox
Where: Starbox, at an outside table
When: Tuesday (June 17th), around noonish.
Rating: PG, Fox admiring Krystal's form a bit X^D

Today is a special class, folks!

I have a species of specimen that just arrived this morning after being on back order since my first year on the job! I just HAD to push this week's original assignment on hold!

So, ladies and gents... Today's assignment will be on SNIFITS!

Here's your handout on the subject...
These creatures come from various parts of the Mushroom Kingdom, Yoshi's Island, and the dream world of Subcon. They spit bullets from

BEFORE WE GET TO THE GLORIOUS CUTTING...
WE'RE GOING TO WATCH A DOCUMENTARY!



Then you will all proceed to pair up with each other and take a snifit from the pile in front of the room to get started.


The task is simply to find where it's balls are stored and by balls I mean bullets, you crazy sick bastards. Then you will each take a ball and observe it under a microscope.

Please note that even though these snifits are indeed DEAD and dripping with formaldehyde which is getting on my clothes from holding this one up for so long. uggh., standing one upright and bopping it square on the scalp will indeed make it fire bullets. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. You will also fail the assignment if you hand me a fired bullet instead of a dissected one. It's not hard to tell the difference!

So I'll get the projector started and we'll go on with the movie...

I'm pretty sure the lab this week ..... is is relatively safe and won't lead us to have another lecture in the auditorium by the board of educationstaff on proper care of explosive creatures AS WHAT HAPPENED LAST MONDAY. ((just pretend it happened!))

.............


Also, this project may provide useful for those of you taking Brawl classes....

Soo.. umm.. here it is! Mr. Saturn. *points to specimen on his desk*

NO, THESE AREN'T DECAPITATED MR. OLIMARS! Stop snickering!

And here's the Handout. *passes it around* These creatures hail from a magical village somewhere in Eagleland and are... highly commercialized as beaning objects in battle.

umm...


... yeah.


You're going to cut these open and identify four things:

Their BOING
Their ZOOM
Their DING!

Half your grade, per usuals is based on the elegance and accuracy of your knife work.


So...........

Go ahead...

Just don't hurl your specimens at your classmates.


((Speech errors are done on purpose- well, it's me as I type normally but this time didn';t fix my mistakes. Mr. P is distracted by a certain proposition... but will try to be as attentive as possible

You can tag here or on the Tegaki thread. Your preference.))

Characters: Krystal, Falco, Torchic, and whoever else is at Falco's dorm.
What: After the cafe, Krystal and Torchic go to visit Falco at his room.
Where: The Cafe to Dorm BE 1
When: After the closing of the cafe.
Rating: ...I'm gonna go with PG; Falco will probably try not to curse around Torchic. XD

Today we'll be covering the basics of judging speed, distance and time; crucial elements when dealing with projectile attacks.


There are three ways to determine these factors:

You can eyeball or visually estimate it, which comes only with practice and experience.

You can use mathematical formulas...

...or you can just have dumb luck.


Since you're here to learn, I'm obligated to teach you the correct way until you get comfortable enough to eyeball it without error. *writes on chalkboard* Here are the basic formulas:

Distance ÷ Speed = Time

Distance ÷ Time = Speed

Time × Speed = Distance


There's a lot more to it than that, but I'll leave the details for you to learn in Falcon's Physics class and/or Linebeck's Math class...

For example, the average human can throw something the size and weight like *tosses in her hands* this capsule at 55 miles per hour. That's roughly 80 feet per second. Therefore... *points to a random student in the back row of seats* it'll only take me 0.3125 seconds to clock you in the head with this capsule since your sitting about 25 feet away from where I'm currently standing.

0.3125 seconds. That's the speed at which you blink your eyes.

Of course, I can throw this capsule much faster than the average human, but just for lesson's sake... How many seconds would it take for me to hit you with the capsule if you were seated, say, 100 feet away?

Additionally, many of prefer to use tools in combat, aka weapons. Weapons that will exceed speeds and strengths very few people can physically match alone. Things like guns, bows, even magic... so keep that in mind. That means no blinking, unless you like getting hit.

If you have any questions about my plans for the upcoming festival/tournament, now is also an acceptable time to ask...


[[Teachers, as always, are also welcome to pop in for whatever reasons they deem and be a nuisance among teh students to Sammy. :3]]

Hello class! Today will be a fun lecture for all, beep. We will be going over Special Moves! These are abilities that unique and stand out from all basic attacks that everyone has. They are unique to the person and are expressions of their own personality and background, beep.

Everybody has four special moves. Of these, at least one is used to help with recovering back onto the stage. I can get into those classes later, beep.

For now we will be practice two special moves. I have organized them into classes: Projectile/Charge, Recovery, Defensive, and Wildcard. We will be going over Projectile/Charge and Wildcard for today and here to help us is Sandsack (he's Sandbag's German relative don't ya know?).

Projectiles are attacks that involve you throwing or firing something at your opponent by any means. I have one to show this example, my Chef move. *pulls out a frying pan and flips out a sausage at Sandsack* Not everybody has a projectile, however. For such cases, you can use a charging style attack, or perhaps something different altogether. Something to keep in mind is that you do not have to follow any of these four classes of attacks religiously, beep. Some people do break the mold!

The Wildcard special can be literally anything. A projectile, a move to help recovery, something defensive, offensive, it's really quite random, beep. My own Wildcard special is a random move, called Judgement. *pulls out a hammer and holds up a sign with an LCD number '6' on it and hits Sandsack with it. It knocks back while burning a little, the flames then die out* It has a random effect, based on the number on the sign. Wildcard moves are the best example of creativity in a Smasher, beep!

Some of you may already have an idea of how to use your Special Attacks, some may not have an idea of what to use. For this reason, this will be part 1 of a two part lecture. Any students with questions should feel free to ask me.

I would like students to hit Sandsack with your Projectile/Charge and Wildcard Specials, beep.

[[OOC: This is a little weird for me because I can't refer to special moves as simply 'B', 'Up + B' etc. For players using non-Brawl characters but are stuck, I have made an OOC post to help you decide right here. Oh, Sandsack here wears German leiderhosen X^D I love this idea a little too much X^D]]

Hello, class beep! Today's class will be about shields and dodging maneuvers. These are important defensive measures that should be taken into account in any Smash match! This should be a simple and straightforward course. Unfortunately today, we won't be using Sandbag (or his multicultural relatives) for this demonstration, beep.

Shielding is something everybody can do. Believe it or not, you have the ability to create your own shield! It's simple to activate it, just make a defensive position. *holds arms out and a round red shield covers Mr. Game & Watch's body* This is a shield! *lets it disappear*

All shields look like this, beep. They may have a different color but they're all the same. They protect you from attacks. Use it to block just about anything that comes your way. Strong attacks may still push you back a bit, however, beep. Please be advised that shields cannot protect from you grabs and you cannot use them in the air.

Also take warning, beep, that shields will slowly get smaller and smaller the longer they are held out and the more attacks you take. If it gets too small, it will shatter! When this happens, you'll be stunned for a while, leaving you very open to attack. If you are very small or light, you may even been knocked high into the air from the force, beep. Use caution! Your shield will become larger when you don't use it for a while, think of it as it recharging!

Next we have dodging, beep. You can dodge in place...*does so* or roll forward or backward *cartwheels ahead* or dodge in place while in the air *jumps up and dodges*. Three ways to dodge! Be cautious when rolling, however! Don't roll into your opponent or their attack or it can cost you! Dodging is useful in times when your shield is running low or you have little time to set one up.

*points to several machines on the floor, similar to tennis ball launchers. Inside each, however, are Mr. Saturns* These Mr. Saturn launchers will fire a Mr. Saturn at you in a regular interval once I turn them on. I would like you students to use your shield to block one Mr. Saturn, and to dodge one more Mr. Saturn in any way you choose.

((NOTE: feel free to participate in the class via this LJ thread, the accompaning Tegaki thread, or both!))

ZOOLOGY WEEK 4 ASSIGNMENT 3

Good afternoon, class!

Today we're going to cut probably the only corpse in this world that doesn't need to be sauced for preservation:

*strainingly lugs gigantic pan with a large blue penguin up from under his desk and slams it on top with a sigh of relief*

No, Folks! This isn't professor Dedede! These creatures are called Prinnies!

Please pass around this handout so you can refer to it when needed.

In short, Prinnies hail from mostly the netherworld. They are actually the souls of deceased damned humans sewn onto demon-manuactured bird bodies in which they then become slaves as punishment for their sins before they can be reborn back into their own worlds.

Interestingly enough, they eat, poop, and whine just like real animals!

For this assignment, class, you're going to G.R.A.C.E.F.U.L.L.Y. cut open these mysterious penguins to see if they have organs or anything COMPENSATING for organs, and you're going to identify any five organs/compensations you can.



And yes,

these specimens are alive...


Except not really. They're just souls of dead humans in artificial bodies. They're used to this crap! Just ignore their cries and complaining and you should be OK!


And before we begin
I have one thing I must sincerely warn you:

DO NOT TOSS OR DROP YOUR SPECIMEN
PRINNIES EXPLODE WHEN THROWN AND WILL CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION FOR THE OTHER PRINNIES WHICH CAN BLOW UP THIS WHOLE CLASSROOM!

Anyone who fails to follow this order will fail the assignment on the spot.

Arrange yourselves in groups of four and each group will work on one prinny.

PRINNY SQUAD! GET YOUR REPENTING ASSES ON THOSE DESKS SO MY STUDENTS CAN GET TO WORK!





Extra points to any student who can confine the human soul in a jar, but you need to study necromancy for that kind of thing...

Sorry about the lack of a class last night, beep. I had some important business to attend to back in my house.

Anyway, today's lecture will be about aerial attacks. These are attacks you perform in the air, beep. You'll find yourself in the air a lot more often than you think! In fact, you will find aerial attacks to be among the strongest moves in your repertoire! Aerial moves are very necessary in knocking out your opponent, as much so as Smash Attacks. It is with aerial attacks where you must put close emphasis on spacing, beep. Make sure you don't miss! Missing an aerial attack means you will have to get up when you land, and it can cost you.

To help make sure you're in the air, I've got a control here to simulate Pokemon Stadium 2, which features a Flying transformation that allows for you to stay in the air, beep. This Stadium we're in can simulate all sorts of places! Isn't that just grand? Technology sure changes! Let's see here...

Nope, this isn't it...now how did I get it right last time?

This isn't right either. Come now, this control is so particular, beep.

Ah, here we are! Hey, beep! Get down from there, I'm not ready to start the demonstration! Such eager students...(what was Samus doing up there?).

Ahem. Here to help us with the demonstration is Sac de Sable (he's Sandbag's French cousin don't ya know?). *pushes Sac de Sable over the fans. The fans blow it in the air, keeping it suspended* These fans will keep you afloat to help you practice attacks in the air. Watch as I show a sample.

*gets over the fans and pulls out a box in front, sending Sac de Sable flying back a bit* An attack in front, beep!

*gets behind and pulls out a turtle, letting it bite Sac de Sable multiple times before sending it back* An attack from behind!

*gets under Sac de Sable and aims upward, blowing up two large puffs of 'air', hitting twice* An attack above!

*gets over Sac de Sable and pulls out a giant key, flying straight down, hitting Sac de Sable* And an attack below, beep!

*moves onto a platform* Four ways to attack! I suggest putting more focus on power with your back and down aerials, but feel free to be creative, beep!

I would like the class to demonstrate at least two different aerial attacks on Sac de Sable, but feel free if you would like to show more.


[[OOC note: Sac de Sable has a black beret, a black-and-white striped sweater, and a small French mustache X^D Do whatever you please on him. And yeah, I tried to find a picture of the Air transformation for Stadium 2 without characters but I guess this'll do!]]

Hnnngh~ I hope I know what I'm doing. Mechanical Engineering and Armed Weaponry don't exactly have suitable themes to tie in with all this festival stuff...


I know a number of you have been curious as to what I'm doing for the festival, and I'm happy to announce I've finalized plans with Snake and Olimar for this one. We're going to bring you karaoke night here at SumaBura. Multi-lingual karaoke.

On the day of the festival we'll be setting up in room 106, which is one of the larger classrooms located fairly close to the cafeteria. We'll be selecting songs that are sung in various languages and come from different cultures. Snake will have a device that's going to translate them. I'll let him elaborate on that in more detail... Who knows... maybe you'll even pick up a few phrases in another language~

If you have any music you'd like to share, go ahead, burn it to a disk or something and bring it in. The more the merrier.

Even if you aren't one of our students, or if you don't feel comfortable singing I encourage you to come and watch at least. Come... watch and laugh. Have a good time. Do what you kids do. Just don't throw stuff at or discourage whoever's on stage less you want me or Snake to return the favor. Ordinarily, we wouldn't allow beverages/food in the classrooms but since it's so close to the cafeteria I think we can make a special exception in this case; if you want to eat and watch the show at the same time. I'm so not picking up after you guys though. Save it for the janitor. Teachers bored out of their minds or brave enough to give the mic a try are also welcome to pop in. I know I won't until after I get a few beers in me...

We'll be doing this after Geno's talent show, since I suspect several of you may want to preform both here and there. Don't want to steal your thunder, Geno. It'll be a good chance to loosen up and wind down after the talent show.



Additionally, I noticed none of you have signed up for the tournament yet, which'll happen the day after the festival. Not that I blame you for being hesitant... But if you're having trouble picking a partner, I'll be improvising my next class to try and help you find a suitable partner, if you haven't already. I'll help you find someone who will balance your strengths and weaknesses, or compliment your fighting style. I myself, am considering entering in the tournament. If any other teachers want to assist in this partner-matching, please, by all means, don't let me stop you...

If you don't want to enter in the tournament, that's ok too. No harm in watching. I hope. Maybe it'll be a bust and no one will enter after all, Porky. Heehee.

Any questions?

I'm going to cut this lecture short because I missed this week's season finale of Harvest Moon and I just downloaded it right now! so you can go straight to cutting things as soon as you get your carcass from the pile here at the front of the room.

ZOOLOGY, WEEK 3, ASSIGNMENT 2

Today's specimen is a Goonie. These birds hail from the tropic islands and many are seen flying while carryin a creature at LEAST their own size to bombard down onto their prey. Otherwise, they just run around like... wingless birds.

Some of you may find your specimen to have a shyguy, yoshi egg, or other creature stuck in it's claws. You can discard them.

So cut them open AND BE GRACEFUL ABOUT IT! Some of you failed at the asthetic factor last week! Identify and cut out the heart, gizzard, stomach, and an organ of your choice. Points will be given if you can properly identify your choice organ.

AND DON'T EAT THE SPECIMEN!

Carry on! *flips open laptop and starts his video*

Hello students and welcome to Motivational Speaking. For those of you whom I've not met or had in my Astronomy class, my name is Geno. You can call me any variation of my name as long as it's not entirely disrespectful.

In this class we'll cover communication skills and how to effectively use them to motivate, inspire, and persuade. Hopefully by the end of this year, you will have learned to communicate effectively.

I'll be frank with you - alot of you are in this class because you think it's easy. That's fine, actually, because it is. I will give no exams and assign no homework, aside from two prepared speeches, one as a midterm and one as a final exam. Aside from those two speeches, all our speeches will be impromptu - although you can do extra preparation if it makes you feel more comfortable.

As long as you actually come to class and participate in speech presentations, you will get an A in this class, easy. Also, you're free to make your speeches as fun, silly, and entertaining as you want as long as you stick to whatever theme you're going for. So really, this can be an easy, fun class for all of us. It's up to you.

Oh yeah,  no interrupting people when they're giving a speech, and be sure to always applaud them when they're done. We'll be critiquing speeches occasionally, but when we do, keep the criticism constructive. Being mean will get you sent to the headmaster's office. Or maybe I'll just kick you out of class and let Resetti deal with you. We're all in this together, alright? So let's support each other.

Alright, that just about covers it.

So! Since in this class we'll essentially be studying communication skills, I guess it's important to know how we communicate. Sure, we use words to communicate with each other, but we communicate in other ways too. Can anyone tell me ways other than talking that we communicate with each other?
