[This?

This here is a Ballroom Dancing class. Presumably things involved in this class involve the silly things that happen in every first day of class, like "hey let's have everyone kind of know each other!", and more dance-specific things. Things like finding partners. And beginning to learn all about the traditional waltz that was mentioned in the syllabus!

Things should happen here.

Hey guys! Bulla here! Just wanted to remind everyone that Fight Club meetings are still Tuesdays and Thursdays at 17:30 in the sectioned off area of the Training Center. Anyone who is interested in checking it out - whether it's to find a sparring partner or if it's to pick up a few pointers, is welcome. No spectators, please.

I'd like as many members as possible to try and show up this Thursday. I've got something important to talk to all of you about in person.


Also, I wanted to see who might be interested in joining or at least checking out a club devoted to fashion. If started, the fashion club will offer makeovers to whoever needs or wants one. Want to look extra good for that upcoming date? Bored with your current look? All part of fashion club's purpose.

[Miss Selphie had asked him to go to lunch? Really? Him?

Well, how could he refuse? It's a couple minutes before he's supposed to arrive that he's already there, in the cafeteria. Most days were spent eating alone off in some corner, so to be invited to eat with somebody else - well, that was exciting just by itself. Being asked to go eat by a ~LIVING LEGEND~ was a whole different thing. So he just sits there, smiling happily (though there's a touch of nervousness beneath the glee), tiny legs swinging back and forth slowly.

Guessing by all the BBS posts up today, I think most of you have seen the new issue of the newsletter. With that said, I'd like to state a formal apology addressed to the Cadets, SeeDs and Faculty in Garden.

I was the one that was caught waterbending by a native down at the beach in Dollet. I know, I know-- It was a stupid thing for me to do. I was overeager at the chance of being surrounded by my element and I made a bad judgment call. I should have been more mindful of my actions, as now my carelessness has caused for the natives to become wary of Garden.

But at the same time, I don't regret having exposed this sort of prejudice that the natives hold against us off-worlders. We're here because we don't have a choice-- if I had my way, I would be home where I wouldn't be ostracized for a natural ability that isn't viewed as a curse by the people of my world. Bending is an art form, a rare gift that only the few and proud possess. I shouldn't have to be ashamed of it or live in fear because of my ability.

Even if I do have the gift to manipulate water, I know better than to use it against innocent people. What's to say that everyone who has a unique ability immediately has ill intentions? Their ignorance isn't going to make our lives any easier during our stay in this world. There has to be a way to make them see us in a different light.

I asked some people in the administration if I could make this post, and they agreed, so here goes --

There've been a lot of new classes added for this coming semester, and they've pushed back the start date to give us time to register. One of the new classes they've added is Independent Study: Languages, which is a smaller class about languages we're less likely to see around here. I know one of the classes is teaching Braille, for example.

I do know that one of them, though, is teaching sign language - the one on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1600 to 1700. I'm taking it, not really because I need to learn sign language, but because I'm fluent in it and can help anyone who needs help with learning it, since I am a native speaker of it. :)

So if you're at all interested in learning sign language, you should take that class! I'd love to help people learn how to speak it.

[ Back in Garden, while listening to music from her MP3, Minako is semi-lost but enjoying the experience as she takes a stroll around the first level.

In fact, it's the second time she's circling the ring of the the first level, peering curiously at but not entering any of the sections just yet.

And if nobody stops her, it seems like she's starting to circle around a third time.

[It had taken some doing, but as Selphie stood in the middle of the decorated bar, the green eyed girl swelled with excitement. Thanks to the help she had received, Dollet's bar had turned into the perfect place to hold her carefully planned party.

In one corner of the bar, tables and chairs had been moved to clear a space large enough for the night's entertainment to begin setting up. It was still early, so the band was still positioning stands, amps and other items as they began to tune up for a nights worth of playing. Selphie left that to the band, knowing when to back out of playing party planner and leaving things to people who knew best about their own equipment.

The rest of the tables and chairs were set up at the other end of the bar, just in front of a longer table set up with food, non-alcoholic drinks, plates and glasses. She had managed to get a fair enough spread of food, hopefully catering to the diverse tastes of the Garden residents. Anyone who was old enough for alcohol, had the option of going to the actual bar of the establishment. Among what they could order there, Selphie had set several single serving bottles of several types of drinks on ice, the large bucket sitting up on the bar where it could be easily watched, and any underage lurkers could be shooed off.

For now, all that the party needed, was the partiers!

[Even though the hour is getting late, Selphie is rather comfortably sprawled out on one of the benches that's strewn decoratively about the Quad. There's still just enough light from fixtures and the moon for her to make out what she's scribbling down on her collection of papers.

"Food and Drink" would be taken care of easily enough. That much at least, is circled in cloud like patterns. Below that entry, "Entertainment" is written, which of course, has several question marks and scratched out lines below it. She hasn't quite figured out what sort of entertainment she wants for this particular shindig. Even as she ponders the options, the pencil gripped between Selphie's fingers is tracing a stray flower off in the corner of her notes. Her lips purse somewhat in frustration, as she lightly stomps her feet out against the arm of her claimed bench.]


Bummer! Why is this so difficult! It doesn't have to be perfect, Selphie! Everyone's going to enjoy it, you know. There's plenty of time too. The end of the month should be a good idea!

[The petite girl sits up, and tucks the pencil behind one of her ears in order to keep herself from chewing on the already abused eraser-end of the utensil. Planning your own birthday party is supposed to be fun, not frustrating. For a moment, she considers taking a break. Maybe she could find something to eat. The cafeteria might still be open!]

[It's the quad again. This fine evening Irvine can be seen lying against the bottom leftmost side of the stairs. One leg is crossed over the other and both arms are bent, hands folded under his head for support. His face is deliberately obstructed by the hat from when he pulled it forward earlier. By his side are a rifle and a book, presumably study material for the upcoming exam week.

All things considered he appears fairly relaxed. Perhaps he's sleeping, even. Care to find out?]

Well. It looks like nothing's changed in the past 20 years.

Hopefully, my positions still in tact, otherwise I'm going to have to talk to the Commander...

Has anyone else noticed people acting... strange, lately? A lot of people seem tired and kind of out of it. Is there some sort of disease going around or something?

It's really weird...


[Rion doesn't mention that he's been feeling it too, or the nightmares he's been having - maybe that's just him and other people have been sick or something. He doesn't... really feel comfortable talking about it, to be honest.]

[ One bad dream isn't enough to get her down. Leanne's not a little girl anymore, hasn't been for a long time, so while she trudged through the classes looking less than her usual upbeat self she's looking forward to the weekend. TGIF, right? But first she's going to work herself to exhaustion so that she can pass out blissfully tonight. ]

[ So after her last class and into the evening Leanne is going to be in the Training Center. She doesn't quite understand all the magic and other battle aspects in this new place but she's confident she can handle a the few monsters she's glimpsed about here on her own. Besides, she wouldn't want to get rusty. Sitting around in classes is a lot less active than she's used to being. ]

[ Leanne almost looks excited when she encounters her first monster, it's been a while ♥ ]

[ ooc; she'll just be flipping about, guns blazing. Feel free to join her or just, stare at the crazy blond girl throwing explosives and shooting things. ]

[ It's not uncommon for Terra to have nightmares - having nightmares that were quite that vivid were though. She hasn't slept a wink for fear of seeing that face every time she closed her eyes, trying to steal a little bit of rest. Instead, she just kept hearing the screams that kept echoing in her head. This may be why she's found at the second floor balcony during a free period, hugging herself tightly, her cape caught in the occasional breeze.

... Also she's standing on top of the railing. One wrong move and over she goes! (gasp) Pay her a visit? Shove her over? Steal her wallet -- er, she doesn't have one but yeah! ]

[If you look around the Garden, you may spot one particular open area occupied by

F O O D!

F E S T I V I T I E S!

G A M E S!

and most importantly: F U N!

The first ever Field Day at the Garden is in celebration of not only the mid-terms ending, but also a sort of independence day for each person; SeeD and cadet alike! The Cooking Club was serving up dishes from a variety of recommendations, ranging from T-Rexaur meat to pizza.

Other students have set up a place for mini-competitions like arm wrestling or card games. Hope you're not a sore loser! Play at your own risk! There are still some empty tables left!

The ever diligent Garden Festival Committee, along with some 'special helpers' arrived early to set things up, keeping in mind that chairs aren't the only way to lounge! There's enough space for blankets too! It's a beautiful day, so enjoy it under blue skies!]


(ooc: This is your field day post, ladies and gentlemen! Have fun with it! Those who volunteered to help are welcome to handwave that their character had done so! Feel free to make threads labeled for different impromptu activities or club areas! The bonfire at the end can still happen~. ♥ ]

[Remy was lucky enough to actually get a hotdog today. He'd pulled it off before and they weren't half bad, but Abel has one of those very tasty T-Rexar steaks he'd cooked after their little...er...destructive foray in the Training Center.  It's making Remy's mouth water, which would explain why he pulls out a deck of cards from the pocket of his trench coat (he always seems to have one on him, but this is Gambit we're talking about) and slaps the as yet unopened pack down on the table in front of him.]

D'accord, mon frere.  That sho' looks mighty tasty.  Three hands. Best two outta three. De game's Blackjack. House wins, we trade lunches. If de table goes to de player, we keep how we are and we like it.  Those sound like fair odd to you?

[OOC: If your characters are interested in cards (not just poker. Remy hasn't heard Triple Triad yet), feel free to poke them!  Remy makes a lot of his money hustling cards.  Also, my dear, sweet Disciplinary Committee, if you want to punish him, GO AHEAD! (Not sure if gambling is against Garden Policy or not, but leBeau doesn't care.]

Wow, I didn't think new students would show up in the middle of everything! I hope you don't have a hard time catching up! I'm Miku Hatsune, and I'm extra good at defense and aerobic fitness if you need some help!

Aah, and I was wondering. . . is there a way to make posts here more recognizable? I don't have trouble with remembering the numbers, but I think pictures would be nice too!

[It was lunchtime, finally. Remy thought he'd been clever, signing up for this school in this new world.  If he was going to be stuck here, he thought, having every resource possible at his disposal would be a great idea, right?  He'd only been to four classes so far, though, and he was convinced he'd underestimated, well, everything.  His notes were spread across the square table in front of him in a haphazard fashion.  Notes of Garden Code, notes on regiment formation, notes on this, notes on that.  His red and black gaze swept across the scattering of papers before him, seeing, but not really comprehending.  What had he gotten himself wrapped up in again?  He heaved a tired sigh and rubbed his hands across his face, then running his fingers through his hair, and licked his lips.  He was Remy leBeau. He could break into anyone's house, steal all their valuables, and escape without a trace.  He could handle a little schooling.  This was nothing.  He wished he believed himself.

He took a sip from the fountain drink that had accompanied his lunch (he hadn't been lucky enough to score one of the Garden's famous hot dogs and had sufficed with a chicken sandwich) and picked up the notes from his first class, Garden Code or whatever it was.  He read it for all of five seconds before putting it down and heaving a loud sigh.]


Nom de Dieu, this place gonna be the death of you, leBeau.

[OOC: /is nervous. I hope I did this right. Anyway, anyone ever is free to bug him in the Cafeteria at lunch. He'll probably welcome the distraction XD]

Is there anyone here who knows how to play instruments or anything like that? Because somebody told me that the Garden Festival Committee would enjoy having a band to play at the Garden Festival, and it'd be fun to put one together.

I know all of the Vocaloids (can sing, but I don't know if any of you can play instruments too, and I'm sure there are other people here too who can sing and/or play things too.

Would anyone be interested? If they would be, I can set up a time and a place for us to get together and talk about it and maybe practice or something.


[Rion pauses. On the one hand, this message would be a lot less weird if he signed it - on the other, it'd mean that he no longer got to post anonymously, at all.

He shakes his head. Best not to sign it for now, he thinks. He doesn't want EVERYONE knowing who he is.

[You're late, running between classes, or it's after everything's shut down for the day and you're just chilling around Garden. Whatever. Regardless, a series of surprisingly heavy footfalls indicate the arrival of someone from around that corner: from whence comes a man muttering to himself, and with only one arm.

It's cool, he's got his other one sticking out of a bag. It and his shoulder are sparking occasionally, a series of small metal pylons and wiring sticking out.]


... so I'm pretty sure swords aren't really my weapon.
