Hello, Garden! It's so good to be back from my sabbatical; I feel I've learned a lot to pass on to my drama class.

For those of you I haven't met before, I'm Instructor Sharpay Evans, and I'll be teaching Drama on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and Art and Music on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I look forward to meeting my students in class this week and reconnecting with my colleagues, and perhaps I'll meet the rest of you all around Garden. ♥

Instructor Sharpay Evans

[PM TO MERCEDES]
Mercedes,

I've been checking the records and I understand you're Garden's only Sapphire sponsored off-worlder cadet right now. I was sponsored by Sapphire while I was a student here, so I'd love to meet you.

I teach in the afternoons; apart from that my schedule's open. Let me know when you're available for a meeting.

Nice to meet you Instructor Evans.

I'm Marco, I'm afraid I took Drama last semester, but maybe we'll see each other around, eh.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Hello, Marco! I'm glad to hear you took Drama at all. ♥ If you don't mind my asking, what were your favorite and least favorite parts of the course? I think the course could use a little improvement.

[fierybluebird]

Oh, I don't know. It's always fun bluffi- acting, but I suppose it's a bit complicated trying to get stories with other world's references without having a similar frame of objectivity, eh.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I know what you mean. That one play set during the Sorceress War? Yeah, no idea. There's one of the downsides of having people from so many worlds here.

I think the most important part is the character. If you have them down, if the audience can relate to you; that's the key to good drama.

[fierybluebird]

Hm, I guess so.

[werepanther]

Shar! Long time no see!

Let me know when you're free: I definitely want to play catch-up sometime.

I know the keyword on this says "sarcastic" but this excitement is legit

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Tommy! I am so glad you're still here; what with people always coming and going I was wondering if I'd still know anyone.

Want to do lunch?

even if it weren't, he wouldn't know the difference 8]

[werepanther]

I know, right? Time Compression hasn't done us any favors.

Like I'd say no to you. Those hot dogs aren't going to eat themselves, after all.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Oh, hot dogs, the best thing the Balamb Garden cafeteria does.

[werepanther]

If it ain't broken, they shouldn't try to fix it. Consider it my treat too. I'll see you then?

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Definitely.

[redcinemareel]

It's such a shame you weren't here when I took drama! You sound like a breath of fresh air~.

- Grell ♥

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

A breath of fresh air is exactly what I plan on bringing to the drama department. ♥ And I can never say no to talking to people who've been through the drama course; I know it isn't the most popular elective.

[redcinemareel]

Those who don't take the class surely aren't aware of what they're missing.

FINALLY, someone to talk about the finer things in life with.

strikes backspaced

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

And what would you know of think the finer things in life are? I'd hate to get your hopes up if we're not on the same page.

I keep thinking of Star Wars with that last subject line ._.

[redcinemareel]

Why, drama is in our everyday life. People are just too ignorant, or ashamed, to realize and admit it. It's what gets us through classes, through the cafeteria, through friendship! Without drama, we'd all be lost lambs, misguided by...politics.

The Empire Backspaces its Strikes

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that!

Even if you're not in either of my classes, you're free to drop by my office for a chat any time you want.

Oh snap, I totally read that as 'The Empire Strikes Back' laehfkaehf

[redcinemareel]

Not everyone can be as sharp as I~.

Do you like tea? Coffee is just no good for your body!

:D

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I've been getting into chai after the latte addiction that was my senior year of high school. Do you have any tea preferences?

[redcinemareel]

Hmmm...chai can be nice if not too over-steeped. I'm a regular of English tea, myself. Maybe a bit of Darjeeling, or Earl Grey. Rosehip is said to be good for beauty.

Not that I would need help, but I care about my body.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

It's so nice to hear there's a student around who cares about their body for more than just fighting.

[redcinemareel]

Oh, fighting is definitely important, but really, one cannot do it for eternity. There are better things to do~! Like...SHOPPING!

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

A student after my own heart! So many outfits I see around Garden are so uninspired.

[redcinemareel]

You took the words right out of my mouth! But nothing is more drab than London fashion. Trust me.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Ugh, I used to know a London schoolgirl. Before I had her coordinate outfits with me, her style was so...drab.

[redcinemareel]

Try living that ever. Day. Of your life. I feel sorry for her. She'll never learn the error of her ways.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

You've lived in London, then? From your doom and gloom about British style it sounds like you either weren't one of them or were just tragically born in the wrong time and place.

[redcinemareel]

I wasn't born there. I was assigned there for my field of work. But I'm starting to think it's rubbing off terribly on my co-workers.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

You poor thing. I'd hate to be in a land of people who dress like Tiara.

[redcinemareel]

Soothing the wounds with a nice cup of hot tea does work wonders. Curled up with a nice book...oh dear! I just found out how to spend this evening~!

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Ooh, that sounds heavenly. Enjoy it for me, would you? I'll have to spend my evening curled up with lesson planning and my students' prior progress.

[redcinemareel]

Remember, all work and no play makes wrinkles and stress. I'll bring you some tea for those tough times.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Aw, thank you!

[PRIVATE MESSAGE]
Let me know if you have any tough times I can help out with too. I like to repay my favors.

[redcinemareel]

[PRIVATE MESSAGE]

[Grell making friends? Well! A breakthrough!]

You're a doll! I'll keep that in mind! ♥

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Mia! I missed you too.

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

You know you're always welcome. I just hope it'll be interesting.

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I learned from the best!

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

No, not all of it.

Instructor Sharpay Evans,

Saturday after noon.

[PM]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Brilliant! My office is [somewhere on the second floor]; come on in at 1430.

Oh, and what's your favorite dessert? Don't feel like you have to limit yourself to what's in the cafeteria.

[PM]

[queenmercedes.livejournal.com]

I will be there. (Action tags here or log?)

I like Mulberry Tarts best.

[PM]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Okay! See you then.

(OOC: Here we go :D)
