Ozzie sat at the desk in his new office, staring into a box he still hasn't unpacked and occasionally feeling the bandage on his nose. Things were not looking good so far.

"...what am I even doing here?" he asked himself.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 2:11 pm**

"Why teaching the bright new minds of tomorrow, of course. And also not dodging fast enough. I hear one of the new kids got you?" Nailah says, stepping into the office.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 2:20 pm**

"My fault for not knowing what the bloody hell I'm doing," he sulked.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 2:46 pm**

"You get used to it. And most of them aren't like that."

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 2:54 pm**

"I would certainly hope not, otherwise we'd be doomed," he answered.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 3:07 pm**

"For what it's worth, I believe you have the questionable honor of being the first to be straight up punched in the face by one of the students."

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 3:18 pm**

"Really? Do I get a trophy?" he asked, mood improving.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 3:49 pm**

"I believe bragging rights is the only reward." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 7:08 pm**

"It's just... how am I going to fare when the real threats show up? I've never been a real fight in my life," he said, "Unless you count the odd drunken pub bout I never win."

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 7:45 pm**

"You sound like I did when I started here. Well, minus the drunken pub brawls. But not everyone is expected to fight or defend the school. Everyone just does what they can."

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 7:56 pm**

"Aye..."

"Though creating an army of Ents to do my bidding does have a nice ring to it," he smirked.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 8:25 pm**

"The danger room is open to anyone, if you'd prefer to try your luck on some lower stakes first." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 8:44 pm**

"I just might at that, assuming my gift even works on virtual plants."

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2013 11:57 pm**

"It works for the telepaths. Somewhat. I'm sure it'll at least be helpful."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 10:59 am**

"And if not, it's still a holodeck."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 11:09 am**

"Exactly. And the grounds have plenty of real trees to practice if that's really what you want to do."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:33 pm**

"I'd hate to add to the woes of your poor groundskeeper."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:00 pm**

"Oh I'm sure you could make it up to him easily."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:27 pm**

"I could at that," he grinned.

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:44 pm**

"I won't go as far and say Sam hired you to end the constant complaints from him, but..." she chuckles.

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:50 pm**

"A contributing factor it may well be," he chuckled.

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:53 pm**

"So, aside from losing fights with students, how are you settling in?"

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:13 pm**

"I'm still wrapping my head around teaching, but it's going pretty well."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:20 pm**

"Not what you planned to do then initially?"

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:35 pm**

"I was always a lab jockey until, well, I took a job at a certain promising new enterprise whose CEO tried to end the world."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:45 pm**

"Aah, I see. That probably doesn't look very good on a resume in most places."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:49 pm**

"No, no it does not."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:53 pm**

"Well if you have anything, don't hesitate to ask for help."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:05 pm**

"Thank ye. I'll keep that in mind."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:15 pm**

"Some of us here actually started out wanting to teach." she smirks.

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:26 pm**

"A strange place indeed," he grinned.

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:35 pm**

"Well I made that choice before the MRA." she shrugs slightly.

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:45 pm**

"Ugh. Don't get me started on that bollocks piece of trash."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:46 pm**

"Not much we can do about it right now anyway."

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:51 pm**

"I just hope the ever-wise members of Parliament don't buy into that Kinsey bloke's bloody revenge fantasy."

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2013 11:57 am**

Nailah's eye go a little out of focus. "Hard to tell..."

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2013 1:32 pm**

Ozzie raised a concerned brow.

"Are ye alright?"

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2013 1:33 pm**

"Don't mind me, I just thought I'd seen something strange..." she mumbles.

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2013 1:36 pm**

"Telepath?"

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2013 1:41 pm**

"Precog."
