new bulletin board, who dis?

[temptationaccomplished]

[That title is absolutely not ic or present at all ok. This angel is NOT that cool.]

Now that we're all getting settled in, I thought it might be nice if we introduce ourselves! So many lovely new faces, and I'm sure much has changed for those of us making a return as well.


So let's put this bulletin board to good use: Who are you?


And we should probably share a little tidbit about ourselves as well. A get-to-know each other--but nothing like those hellish corporate ice-breakers. You're absolutely not obligated to participate, of course, but it does seem like good fun, doesn't it?



I'll go first: My name is Mr. Fell; I love cocoa and long walks in the park, and I own a bookshop back home.

It's an interesting place, I'll give it that. Whether good or bad remains to be seen.

[noasark]

Well, I've only been here two years, but I can certainly offer some commentary to that point.

If anything we're the 'bad' in the sense that our existence is...a little tricky for the fabric of reality to handle, but that's beside the point.

[whose_son_am_i]

Yes, this "dangerous magic" inside of us that could very well mean our deaths or worse. It's far from the first time I've been regarded with fear and nerves, and I doubt it'll be the last.

[noasark]

You'll notice there's not that much of it if you wander about the campus though.

At least not for you so much as perhaps for your health. It helps that while we can't stop anyone from arriving, we now actually know why it's happening.

[whose_son_am_i]

Having people worry over my health at all will be a pleasant change.

[noasark]

Good to hear then~

Hm. I suppose this confirms that at least something of the Lokasenna has some accuracy then though, though that's admittedly a guess.

[Bridges tend to be burned when you sling that many shots. Not to mention every other writing that ended in 'loki fix it' and then 'bye loki'.]

[whose_son_am_i]

[Loki has to pause and think if he's heard how that myth goes--and how wrong it might've been.]

That one started as a drinking contest, wasn't nearly as serious as has been written down, and yet they still blamed me when others started it.

[noasark]

It starts as a drinking contest, of course it wasn't going to be that serious in reality. [That much, he can gather.]

Speaking bluntly that seemed to be a trend in the various proses; that and snatching you in to fix something as if they were owed it.

[Honestly, all things considered, Loki-in-text was being a pretty decent sport over a lot of it, and one couldn't be surprised about what happened at the end.]

[whose_son_am_i]

Well that last part is fairly correct.

[Not that it was ever much appreciated, even when he saved lives with his trickery.]

[noasark]

That's a fair bit of a shame.

[Just given, the consequences. Ah, well.]

Well, congratulations again on finding yourself here- in a way this could be a vacation then~

For that matter it's been interesting to see how magic in another world functions.

[whose_son_am_i]

That latter statement is why I plan to be a diligent and avid student. How fond are the teachers of questions, because I will have a great many of them.

[noasark]

Now that one varies!

The professor of Fantastics, Porsfin might be touch and go- depends very much on what you're asking and how, he's not one for traditional teaching you see. The professor of Thaumaturgy- Loshakle- meanwhile simply has a bias. It takes a good amount to get into his good graces; he's not a fan of the 'sundered'.

On the other end the professor for Intimation, Mala, is a good professor but a strict one. It could go either way for entirely different reasons there.

Over all, I think it'll be the quality of the question that determines how things go.

[whose_son_am_i]

That is most helpful information to have. I am less concerned with good graces, so much as I am with effectively learning the material.

[The one professor sounded like a challenge. Which made Loki smile.]

[noasark]

[Thaumaturgy is about to become very interesting isn't it.]

Good priorities~

I have to ask- which classes are you taking? [There's only so much time in the day, choose wisely.]

[whose_son_am_i]

Discovery, Sundering, Thaumaturgy, along with Law, History of Wizardry, and Etiquette. Although I've applied to student teach as well.

[Yes. Yes it is, Noa.]

[noasark]

I'd say we'd be sharing Thaumaturgy, but I'm on my fifth semester for that so probably not. Still, it'll be interesting to hear about how things go there~

[Oh, he is definitely ready for something to go down.]

You'll be teaching?

[whose_son_am_i]

If they approve it. Not that the one subject isn't likely to be taught anyways by necessity if it comes up. But I thought it better to give them a chance to have it be 'official' and structured instead of the mess it could be. Especially if I can get credit for it.

[noasark]

Considering what courses have been approved in the past, you should have a strong chance.

Which is to say my am I curious to know which subjects you applied for...

[whose_son_am_i]

Realm Administration and Flyting.

[noasark]

Oh, Flyting!~

I can't say I would get much from Realm Administration by the principle of who and where I intend to be, but Flyting certainly sounds well worth it~

[whose_son_am_i]

Then if I am approved to teach, I shall see you in class.

[noasark]

I look forward to it then!
